Series 1 (Reversions): Episode 4

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\nYork Minster is one of our most magnificent cathedrals, boasting the world’s largest expanse of medieval stained glass. But the stonework of this glorious gothic monument is crumbling away on a daily basis. Will and Dom join the new generation of stonemasons being trained to save it, harnessing modern technology while still using centuries-old skills.\n\nIn Northumberland, Suzie is meeting Anoop to pick up a backpack she’ll take down to the barn to restore. It’s not just any bag, it’s an emotionally-charged reminder of his mother, who sent it as a gift after he had to flee apartheid in South Africa. Anoop has travelled the world with this special bag, and it's starting to show its age. Will Suzie’s repairs to the lining and new straps make it fit to travel once again?\n\nWill’s Yorkshire odyssey continues in Cawthorne, where Elwin presents him with a huge drum owned by the local marching band since the 1850s. The damaged paintwork, ill-fitting skins and loose cords aren’t befitting such a magnificent instrument, so percussion expert Pete Woods takes on the mammoth task of getting it back to playable condition.\n\nFinally, Dom heads to Brighton to learn all about neon sign making from a father and daughter duo that blend science and art in their colourful creations. Dom is more used to moulding metal than glass, so how will he fare when faced with the delicate task of blowing his own glass?
