Chris Packham's tears after heartbreaking confession by Radio 2 legend's autistic, non-verbal son

Heart-breaking scenes and revelations left presenter Chris Packham in tears during a BBC Two documentary. The Countryfile regular was hosting Inside Our Autistic Minds, a two-part series, which gives a voice to autistic people - as Chris puts it, to say what's really going on inside their minds.

Chris, who was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome in 2015, meets other autistic people and helps them create short films to express to their family and friends their hidden world and how they are really feeling inside. The first episode aired on Tuesday, February 14.

In episode one, which is now available to watch on BBC iPlayer, viewers met the son of radio legend Ken Bruce. Ken's son Murray had no real form of communication until he was nine years old. Now 20, Murray communicates by typing on a tablet.
