The Repair Shop

Series 6: Episode 9

Jay Blades and the team bring four treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.\n\nThe first arrival of the day is widow Eve Robinson from King's Lynn. She is hoping that goldsmith Richard Talman can rescue a cherished keepsake that represents a love story spanning 30 magical years. The wedding ring was her husband Keith's and was designed by Eve herself. The ring suffered terrible damage when it had to be cut from Keith’s finger by paramedics, and Eve dreams of being able to wear it herself, so she can have him with her always. \n\nDawinder Bansal from Wolverhampton arrives at the barn accompanied by an exotic companion who causes quite a commotion. The six-foot 1960s mannequin, modelled on a Bollywood starlet, is in desperate need of a major makeover by ceramics expert Kirsten Ramsay. Dawinder rescued the vintage Indian mannequin from a local Asian shop that she regularly visited as a child. The shop was a cultural oasis for Dawinder growing up in the Midlands during the 1980s, where she and her family were a minority.\n\nPinball wizard Geoff Harvey is raring to go when he meets Sally Kershaw from Somerset. She has brought him a family relic that is down on its luck, hoping Geoff will be able to turn its fortunes around. Sally’s father rescued the penny arcade machine over 40 years ago from a bonfire. Growing up, Sally and her sister loved playing with it, but it has been languishing in a garage for decades. They would love their children to experience the joy it gave them.\n\nAnd there's an intriguing piece of horticultural history, courtesy of Clive Freeman from Dudley. He is hoping that the dream team of Suzie Fletcher and Dominic Chinea can work their magic on his very unique heirloom - a pair of tree spurs left to him by his lumberjack father. Susie handcrafts bespoke leather leg straps to preserve these curious contraptions for a delighted Clive.
