The BBC is set to continue Michael Mosley's legacy with a set of new presenters fronting his Just One Thing series.
The new series will be presented by Zoe Ball, Roman Kemp and Clive Myrie, who will bring their own unique perspective to the show’s "simple but powerful message": small changes can lead to big benefits.
This will follow on from Mosley's Radio 4 and BBC Sounds podcast, Just One Thing, with more than 100 episodes available to listen to.
It inspired listeners to make small everyday changes to improve their health and wellbeing - from cold therapy to eating slowly.

What will the new Just One Thing series cover?
Each of the presenters will front four episodes exploring topics they’re passionate about or are keen to discover more on.
The BBC adds: "Travelling to a different part of the UK in every episode, they’ll meet individuals who stand to benefit from making simple science-backed changes in their lives that could improve their health and wellbeing.
Each episode will spotlight one practical, evidence-based tip, ranging from laughing to boost your brain to a dose of beetroot to improve your running time.
Lindsay Bradbury, Commissioning Editor for BBC Daytime, said: “This new series of Just One Thing builds on the legacy of the brilliance of Michael.
"It will offer sometimes very surprising take away tips on how we can all try and improve our lives with minimum input for maximum rewards.”
Paul Overton, Executive Producer for BBC Studios Science Unit, said: “Michael Mosley’s work inspired millions to take small, science-backed steps toward better health.
"With the new series of Just One Thing, we’re continuing that mission — sharing practical, evidence-based ideas that can genuinely improve people’s lives.”
Who was Michael Mosley?
Michael Mosley was a journalist, producer, presenter and writer who worked with the BBC on programmes discussing health, biology and medicine.
Following his undergraduate degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics (commonly known as PPE) at the New College, Oxford, Mosley became a banker in London.
Having spent two years in banking, he decided to move into medicine and went on to study medical psychology at the Royal Free Hospital Medical School (now part of University College London Medical School).
He went on to qualify as a doctor but apparently became disillusioned with psychiatry and joined the BBC on a trainee assistant producer scheme.
Mosley worked his way up the ranks at the broadcaster before heading major productions, and, in 1995, was named Medical Journalist of the Year by the British Medical Association for a ground-breaking programme on Helicobacter pylori.

He was well-known for the Fast 800 diet plan, which has been a popular choice for many aspiring to lose weight fast and effectively.
Mosley died in June 2024 on the Greek Island of Symi while on holiday with his wife.
He had initially gone missing while out on a walk, before being found several days later. An initial post-mortem said he most likely died of natural causes.
