Series 1 (Reversions): Episode 3

The experts lend their skills to a community project, hear the stories behind new treasures to be repaired, and visit a local crafting hero.\n\nWill and Dom travel to Devon, and where better to find Daisy, the oversized fibreglass dairy-cow lantern? Daisy has been a fixture at Hemyock Light Parade for a decade, but time hasn’t been kind to their bovine mascot. She has lost an ear, a couple of hooves, and her body is dirty and cracked. It is going to take some lateral thinking and the skills of some exciting new experts if she is to take her place at the head of the parade once again. \n\nMeanwhile, Dom meets Tulsi from Swindon, who has a Hindu holy scripture passed down from her grandmother that is now so fragile, it can’t be opened without further damage. It will take every trick in the book if paper conservator Angie is to get this beloved tome back to a state where the family can use it once again.\n\nWill is in Oldham to pick up a vintage fruit machine that is close to John’s heart. Inherited by John after a tragic accident, the mechanism is jammed, the paint scuffed, and he has never seen the lights working. Decades of experience mean game machine expert Pinball Geoff is the perfect man for the job, but it will be a painstaking process getting it to pay out once more.\n\nFinally, Dom checks in on an old friend in Torquay. He is at Dave Smith’s workshop overlooking the harbour to try his hand at the lost art of brilliant cutting, before turning a newly decorated piece of glass into a Victorian-style mirror. As Dave can boast clients such as David Beckham, John Meyer and Disney, it is a rare chance for Dom to get some tips straight from a master craftsman - fish and chips by the sea is just an added bonus.
