The Repair Shop

Details

Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. Toy restorers Julie and Amanda welcome a stuffed monkey called Midge into the barn. Owner Charles received the toy primate as a Christmas present in the 1960s, but when he turned 14, his market trader dad put Midge to work on his Barnsley Market stall. Metal expert Dominic Chinea faces the heavy-duty task of freeing a metal vice. Owner Daniel cherishes the multipurpose tool which has inspired four generations of his Derbyshire family to revive, make and mend. And wood wizard Will Kirk puts his carving skills to the test as he tackles a Scandinavian folk figurine that has been mauled by a mischievous puppy. Owner Paula treasures the sculpture as a memento of her grandfather, who was honoured for his work in the wood pulp industry by the King of Sweden.
