Dr Michael Mosley fans will be gripped as he is about to star in his final TV appearance which takes a close look at the human body and incredible new technology around curing complex illnesses. The late 67-year-old tragically died last year but put his own body under the microscope months before.
Last year he recorded in a three-part Channel 5 series that saw the health expert decode the marvels of the human body. He took a close look at why we age, and how our bones break, as well as pioneering cancer treatments.
Back in June, the This Morning regular went missing while he was on holiday in Greece. He was later found dead by a rescue team on the island of Symi days later.
It was revealed that his cause of death was from natural causes of dehydration. The news sent shockwaves up and down the country with his wife speaking out on BBC Radio 4's Today programme explaining that she was "breath-taken" by the public's reaction, adding that it showed people had "really loved him".
The show is set to broadcast next Thursday at 8pm and will see him explore a range of complex health issues. Viewers will see the star undergoing experiments to test his own heart health, saliva production and how his body reacts when jumping in freezing waters.

In the first episode, Dr Mosley heads to Scotland to the small town of Fife where he catches up with one subject called Thomas and discusses his illness.
He suffers from a common neurological condition and is about to undergo pioneering brain surgery.
The 71-year-old battles with an essential tremor causing involuntary shaking and trembling, which roughly affects around one million Brits.

The disease typically affects those 65 and over but is ten times more common than Parkinson's disease.
Shockingly Thomas became a victim of the illness in his early forties after seeing symptoms like his right hand constantly shaking.
By his mid-fifties, the tremors got progressively worse and both hands, as well as his head, would quiver.
Sitting in Dundee Hospital, he was about to embark on a potentially life-changing journey and undergo surgery.
The innovative procedure used a beam of ultrasound waves to zap a tiny cluster of cells in a part of his brain called the thalamus, which is where movement is created.
Due to the severe risks which include loss of speech, and becoming paralysed, Thomas was to be kept awake with doctors making him draw a spiral on a piece of paper to test his brain function.
Michael Mosley: Wonders of the Human Body airs on Thursday at 8pm on Channel 5.
