Channel 5 confirms new 3-part Dr Michael Mosley documentary series

As a long-time viewer and admirer of Michael Mosley‘s enlightening and engaging documentaries, I eagerly await the premiere of “Michael Mosley: Wonders of the Human Body.” Having spent my formative years as a medical student before transitioning into a career in journalism, I find myself deeply connected to this series’ exploration of the human body.


As a cinema enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that my favorite channel, Channel 5, has announced the broadcast of an intriguing new documentary titled “Michael Mosley: Wonders of the Human Body” in August. This captivating production will include a heartfelt tribute to the late TV presenter by his wife, Dr Clare Bailey.

The three-part documentary titled “Decoding the Human Body” will debut on Channel 5 this coming Thursday, August 22nd, at 8pm. This series is designed to reveal the intriguing mystery of design and engineering within the human body, offering viewers a fresh perspective and insight into how our bodies function, evolve with age, and adapt over time.

Sadly, Mosley passed away this June after disappearing on a walk on the Greek island of Symi.

After an exhaustive four-day quest, I sadly received confirmation from my wife Clare that my lifeless body had been discovered.

The show will have an introduction and conclusion to honor the broadcaster, along with a tribute from his wife.

Regarding the unveiling of the show, Bailey stated: “Michael’s deepest enthusiasm has consistently revolved around uncovering the amazing mysteries behind body functions, aiming to help us comprehend and care for ourselves better.”

“For several months, he accompanied the production crew on a journey, covering vast distances to create this fresh TV series.”

According to the summary of Mosley’s posthumous series, “Michael guides us through a remarkable exploration of the human body. By subjecting his own body to various tests, he aims to aid viewers in comprehending their physical selves better, as he seeks solutions to numerous intriguing questions about our bodies.”

As someone who has reached a certain age and experienced the wear and tear of daily life on my body, I find myself increasingly curious about why our joints can become creaky and how we can maintain their health as we grow older. I’ve also had the misfortune of catching the flu a few times, and it never fails to remind me of the incredible resilience of the human immune system – but also its vulnerability.

Indeed, Mosley was well-known not only for his guest spots on programs such as The One Show and This Morning, but also for hosting numerous series that delved into the intricacies of the human body and the field of medicine.

Originally studying to be a doctor, Mosley later transitioned into a career in media, gaining widespread recognition by simplifying complex scientific issues for the average viewer on television.

In the upcoming series, I’ll be embarking on a journey that spans across three captivating episodes. The first episode will take me to the enchanting city of Dundee, Scotland, where I’ll be encountering an extraordinary individual who is preparing for groundbreaking brain surgery, all while grappling with tremors.

In my perspective as a film enthusiast, the first episode promises an intriguing storyline. For me, it’s about a character named Allen in Southampton, who is anxiously waiting to learn if his innovative cancer treatment has been effective. On the other hand, there’s Michael, who’s ready to disclose the pros and cons of cold water swimming, along with an advanced technology that could potentially predict heart issues well ahead of time.

Michael Mosley’s exploration into the marvels of the human body will debut on Channel 5 this coming Thursday, 8 PM, on the 22nd of August.
