Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.\n\nGramophone guru Tim Weeks takes on the repair of an antique wooden phonograph, brought into the barn by Nicola Dean, whose father was an avid collector of phonographs and gramophones. This particular model - an Edison Opera Phonograph - was his prized possession and the centrepiece of his collection. However, it suffered badly in a collision with a group of overenthusiastic small children, and the distinctive wooden horn has become separated from the main body. Tim must call upon all his experience - as well as the wood restoration skills of fellow expert Will Kirk - to get this marvellous music machine singing once again.\n\nUpholsterer Sonnaz Nooranvary faces an unusual challenge when an armchair is brought in to the barn, complete with a colourful rug stitched into the fabric. Much loved by three generations, the chair survived its trip from pre-war Nazi Germany but has become battered and faded over time. It takes the help of fine art conservator Lucia Scalisi to unravel the mystery of the colourful rug’s provenance.\n\nAnd Steve Fletcher takes on the repair of a battered old miner’s lamp that once saved the life of its owner, Hubert John, when he was caught in an underground roof fall at the Hook Colliery in Pembrokeshire. Hubert’s granddaughter Rita hopes Steve can get the lamp burning brightly once more.
