The Repair Shop

Series 14: Episode 22

The team of expert craftspeople welcome four more cherished heirlooms steeped in personal history and emotional significance.\n\nFirst into the barn is a pair of cowboy boots brought in by Chloe Schneider that have seen better days. The boots belonged to her late mother, a vibrant figure in the New York art scene. Discovered in a vintage shop in the 1980s and worn across decades of creativity and travel, the boots were damaged during a festival outing. Cobbler Dean Westmoreland delicately restores them, preserving their character while making them wearable once more – a tribute Chloe hopes to carry on at future milestones her mother can no longer attend.\n\nNext, ceramics expert Kirsten Ramsay is entrusted with a broken award originally given to Sid Perou, a pioneering adventure film-maker renowned for his daring cave cinematography. Brought in by Sid’s sons, Martin and Tom, the Giles Barker Award represents a lifetime of achievements and a legacy of exploration. Kirsten’s careful restoration brings the statuette back to life, allowing the family to honour their father’s fearless spirit and creative brilliance.\n\nMeanwhile, bear ladies Julie Tatchell and Amanda Middleditch welcome a unique guest - Hamish the puppet - once the beloved sidekick of magician Jeff from Newmachar in Scotland. Hamish delighted audiences for years before wear and tear left him in pieces. Using new joints, fresh stuffing and expressive eyes, Julie and Amanda revive Hamish’s charm, giving Jeff the chance to reunite with his old stage companion and return to performing.\n\nLastly, a fragment of plaster from a kitchen wall containing a handwritten message from a late son is brought in by John and Margaret Ivin. It was recently discovered during home renovations after Chris’s tragic passing from a rare form of cancer. The fragile plaster is painstakingly restored by stonemason Rich Fraser, paper conservator Angie and woodworker Will Kirk, who collaborate to preserve the message and frame it as a lasting tribute. The result is a powerful reminder of love, memory and the enduring presence of those we have lost.
