Dr Michael Mosley's poignant final interview was broadcast today on Radio 4, moving listeners to tears as his colleague prefaced the show with the words: "I didn't know it would be the last time I would see him." The esteemed TV presenter and nutrition expert, aged 67, met with a tragic end while vacationing with his spouse Dr Clare Bailey on the idyllic Greek island of Symi earlier in the month.
His disappearance came after he embarked on a walk at 1.30pm on Wednesday June 5, only to be discovered days later on Sunday near Agia Marina beach.
Listeners tuned in to hear Dr Mosley one last time in a programme titled There's Only One Michael Mosley on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds at 11am on Friday June 14, which formed part of the BBC's homage to him.
He had previously recorded a special instalment of Just One Thing at the Hay Festival on May 25, featuring Professor Paul Bloom, where he imparted his usual health-enhancing advice.
