The Repair Shop

Series 5: Episode 5

Master saddler Suzie Fletcher rescues a pair of tired and torn boxing gloves that once belonged to the owner Andy’s uncle, who died tragically as a young man. Andy is keen to have the precious keepsakes restored for his father as a surprise. \n\nNatural history conservator Simon Moore is faced with a huge challenge when he takes receipt of an unusual cigarette box, crafted from an ostrich egg shell. It was a gift given to owner Trevor’s grandfather during the Second World War, when he was stationed in the Far East. \n\nAnd metalworker Dom is delighted to work on a 1950s toy bike that was gifted to the owner’s brother by none other than Laurel and Hardy during a performance in their home town.
