2. Rio Ferdinand: Being Mum And Dad
Tuesday 28th March at 9pm on BBC One
This week will see Rio Ferdinand embark on an intensely personal journey, exploring the ways bereaved parents come to terms with loss and shape new lives for themselves and their children.
Speaking in this poignant documentary Rio said, "I don’t think I’ve grieved properly. I’ve not given myself that time to sit down and really flush everything out and go through it."
In May 2015, former professional footballer Rio Ferdinand’s life changed forever when his wife Rebecca passed away from breast cancer, aged just 34.
In this one-off 60-minute documentary, Rio explores ways of managing grief - including his own - and discovers that the best way for parents to help their children move on with their lives is to first rebuild their own.
With around 75 men aged under 50 becoming widowers every day in the UK, this intimate film also offers a broader insight into how young husbands and fathers cope with grief, as Rio speaks to other bereaved men who share their experiences.
By exploring the complex issues around grief, the stigma men often face in displaying and discussing their emotions, and discovering some of the ways people cope with loss, the film highlights the additional obstacles bereaved men can face.

This week sees Evelyn Waugh’s hugely popular novel Decline And Fall is being turned into a television series starring Jack Whitehall, Eva Longoria, David Suchet, Douglas Hodge, Stephen Graham, Vincent Frankin, Gemma Whelan and Jason Watkins!
The mini-series marks the first televisual adaptation of Evelyn Waugh’s famous comic novel Decline And Fall.
Jack Whitehall plays Paul Pennyfeather as an inoffensive divinity student at Oxford University in the 1920s, who is wrongly dismissed for indecent Exposure having been made the victim of a prank by The Bollinger Club.
David Suchet plays Dr. Fagan, the headmaster of Llanabba, an obscure public school in Wales where Paul first finds employment and works with fellow teacher Grimes (Douglas Hodge). It is at the school that he meets a beautiful South American woman, the Honourable Mrs Margot Beste-Chetwynde, played by Eva Longoria, who is the mother of one of the pupils. For Paul, it is love at first sight, but little does he know the surprises that lie ahead of him when he agrees to tutor her son over the summer holidays.
Of his casting as Paul Pennyfeather, Jack Whitehall says: "I am extremely pleased to be a part of this amazing adaptation by James Wood. I’ve been a fan of this book since I read it as a teenager, and I just hope that I can do it justice."
