It was interesting to see where his learned behaviour of keeping his emotions hidden came from, after his father appeared in the programme. Rio's sons seemed to be doing the same thing, learning their behaviour from him. I hope he can show them it's ok to cry about losing their mum, and they shouldn't just 'man up'. This was an excellent documentary and was done very sensitively. Well done, BBC.
