Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.\n\nResident clock expert Steven Fletcher and ceramics conservator Kirsten Ramsay toil on a fragile 19th-century clock. Several of the porcelain details were broken off when the clock took a tumble several years ago, but with Steve's mind for mechanisms and Kirsten’s eye for detail, the pair soon have it looking and sounding as good as new.\n\nSaddle-maker Suzie Fletcher answers a mayday call from a young man who wants to surprise his father by having a Second World War pilot’s bomber jacket restored. The ripped and weathered jacket was worn by his grandfather when he served in the RAF's Coastguard Command, protecting our coasts from attack. Suzie rises to the challenge and carefully restores this important piece of history, much to the delight of the family.\n\nMeanwhile, antique typewriter restorer George Blackman completely dismantles and rebuilds a typewriter with impressive military and royal connections.
