Love this
Solar System 'Dark Worlds' this evening on BBC2 at 9pm has the longest continuous shot we've ever attempted - 5 minutes. Our camera tech @NickGaven made this little edit to show how it was done. We only did the shot twice because it was tricky!

A short clip from Michael Mosley's last interview, How to Live a Good Life, with Professor Paul Bloom is Michael at his best - full of warmth, insight and enjoying his time with the Hay Festival audience. There's Only One Michael Mosley | Listen on BBC Sounds bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0020l7…

On the day we deliver a tribute to @DrMichaelMosley to be shown on @BBCOne tonight & having watched so many clips of his amazing career this week. It reminded me of a quote from Oliver Sacks, another of the all-time great science communicators who I think shared something of the same storytelling DNA as Michael ‘ ...my predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved; I have been given much and I have given something in return; I have read and traveled and thought and written. I have had an intercourse with the world, the special intercourse of writers and readers. Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure.’

The news today is deeply shocking and saddening for so many of us. Michael Mosley worked closely with the BBC Studios Science Unit across a broadcasting career spanning four decades. His passing will leave a huge hole for so many of us who had the privilege of working with Michael and for the millions of people who loved watching and listening to him. From Trust Me I’m a Dr to Just One Thing, The One Show, Horizon and so many more titles that have educated and entertained in equal measure.  His contribution to audiences around the world is unparalleled, as one of the very finest science communicators, as a brilliant programme maker and a unique presenter.  For all of us in the Science Unit, we have lost the kindest of colleagues, an inspirational creative mind and a friend.
