The Repair Shop

Series 9: Episode 33

Jay Blades and the team breathe new life into three cherished items, reigniting the memories they hold.\n\nMaster cobbler Dean Westmoreland, metalworker Dominic Chinea and leather expert Suzie Fletcher all join forces on some items that Adrian Wheeler has brought into the barn: a pair of ice hockey skates and gloves that belong to his father, who began playing the sport back in the 1950s. His love of the game has been passed to his three children and now to his granddaughter, Adrian’s daughter. Adrian is immensely proud of his father’s achievements on the ice and his continuing support for the whole family, and he intends to create a display including other memorabilia in his house. Dean tackles the dry, hardened leather, Dom attacks the rusty blades, and Suzie restitches the damaged glove, rejuvenating its colour.\n\nNext into the barn is Wendy Innes. Her late father’s motorcycle helmet is in need of some TLC from master hatter Jayesh Vaghela. The helmet, known as a ‘corker’ due to its cork lining, was worn on an extraordinary journey around the world by Wendy’s father and mother. The couple set off on an epic adventure together in 1956 and returned a year later having visited 29 countries on their motorbike. Once home, they started their family. Wendy found the helmet while clearing out their attic and discovered several mice had set up camp inside, damaging the leather earpieces and sweat band. She’d love to have it repaired as a tangible reminder of her much-missed parents and their remarkable adventure.\n\nFinally, James Stainer comes to call with his boyhood bear, Lummy. He’s hoping bear ladies Amanda and Julie will work their magic on this old chap, who is literally falling apart. Lummy was a gift from James’s godfather 54 years ago and was by far his favourite toy. He was always on his pillow and went on cub camps and family holidays, but all those adventures and copious cuddles have taken their toll. Fortunately, Lummy is now in very safe hands.
