The Repair Shop

Series 5: Episode 37

Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.\n\nClock connoisseur Steve Fletcher receives a thrilling assignment when Andy Cronk brings in an 18th-century French clock created by renowned maker Julian Beliard. This prized piece belonged to Andy’s grandfather, who obtained it by chance after the Second World War, but the minute hand is missing, the dial is chipped and the clockwork mechanisms have been cobbled together during previous repairs. Determined to get it ticking again, Steve overhauls every one of the hundred or so workings. \n\nElectronics wizard Mark Stuckey takes receipt of a vintage 1960s radiogram. The unit provided the soundtrack to owner Anne Marie’s childhood, but it has been silent for decades. Her parents recently passed away and Anne Marie could not see this lovely relic thrown out, so she is putting all her faith in Mark and his crew.\n\nLastly, sisters Julie Welsh and Helen Brandford from Yorkshire show silversmith Brenton West a scientific marvel that kept them entertained for hours as children. The 18th-century botanist’s microscope belonged to their dear grandparents and holds wonderful memories of summers spent exploring their garden with all of its flora and fauna. This intricate, delicate piece is missing all of its original tiny tools, and the wooden case that holds the microscopic viewer is broken, so Brenton will need to replicate the miniature forceps, tweezers and needle while Will Kirk tends to the box and lid.
