本集简介

It's silversmith Brenton West's time to shine as he is called upon to give a worn and bent brass key ring a new lease of life. The treasured trinket was made for Neil when he was a lad by his charismatic father, Bill. Sadly, Neil lost his father recently, and this hand engraved key ring has come to represent everything he loved about him. Bill engraved his son's name on one side and the motto ‘no fear' on the other, which was the mantra he lived his life by. However, the engraved words have almost worn away. Neil now has a son of his own, Bill's namesake Billy, and hopes to display the key ring as a reminder of the father he loved so much and of the grandfather Billy junior will never know. Brenton goes to great lengths to emboss each of the tiny dents that spell the words which mean so much to Neil.

Sisters Lynne and Gayle come to meet clockwork king Steve Fletcher with a small box housing the favourite childhood toy of their late mother, Helen. The wind-up turkey used to strut about shaking its tail feathers and amusing little Helen and her sisters, but came to a grinding halt decades ago. Lynne and Gayle grew up listening to stories of their mum's childhood on a farm and her love of this little turkey toy. It was only recently that the family found the toy in a box with some old photos and, although Helen was reunited with it before she passed away, it had seized up and the wind-up key was long gone. The sisters would love to see the toy in action for themselves and show it to their own children, but the old bird is reluctant to perform and proves to be quite tricky for Steve!

Goldsmith Richard Talman greets Christine from Derbyshire, who has brought the pieces of her late father's gold signet ring. The ring, engraved with his initials, was an engagement present in 1949 from her mother, Ethel, to her fiancé, Phillip. He wore the ring with pride, but after an accident at work, the ring had to be cut from his finger and was then stowed away. It was then forgotten about until Christine came across it when clearing her parents' house after they passed away. The ring represents the couple's long and happy marriage, and Christine would like her eldest brother, who has the same initials, to have it. That's if Richard can piece it back together.

First into the barn is Marion with a diablo dating back to the 1890s for the attention of woodwork expert Will Kirk. Originally gifted to Marion's grandfather, Thomas, when he was a child, he became adept at tricks with the simple toy. Marion remembers it from when she was just a toddler, but trying to replicate her grandfather's moves has left it badly chipped and damaged. Despite its disheveled appearance it is a powerful connection to the grandfather she loved. Will is tasked with returning it to a usable state so Marion's grandson, who would be the fifth generation to have it, can take it to university.

Next, sisters Fiona and Janice arrive with a pair of sparkly stage shoes worn by their mum, Betty, who loved the dance halls of the 1940s and 50s. Betty gave up ballroom dancing when her children came along, but in later life returned to performing once more. As children, Fiona and Janice would dress up in the shoes which are now a link to their much-missed mother. But for cobbler Dean Westmoreland, the characteristic silver threading that makes them perfect for the stage is far more complicated to repair than he first thought.

The final visitor to the barn is Katie, who hopes optics expert Richard Biggs can bring her childhood telescope back to working order. Currently in pieces, the telescope was bought for her by her dad, Charlie, when she was 16 as a way to connect with the interests held by his young daughter. They bonded over many hours of stargazing and spotting the planets, but after Charlie passed away when Katie was 19, the telescope fell into disrepair. Now she wants it mended as her young son is desperate to take up stargazing and wants to use the telescope that was originally bought by the grandfather he never met.

Art Conservator Lucia Scalisi is fascinated by an unusual religious artefact. It's a three-dimensional portrait depicting the three aspects of a Hindu God – Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Each Goddess is revealed when the portrait is viewed from different angles. It was made by owner Raj's grandfather over one hundred years ago for his daughter, Raj's mother, who was a devout Hindu. The portrait was displayed in her house shrine where she would sit for her daily prayers and reminds Raj of his much-missed mother. However, the sacred images are faded and masked by years of cobwebs and dust which have accumulated within the boxed frame. Lucia is impressed by the portrait's clever construction, as she meticulously cleans and repairs this unique piece of family history.

Next to arrive is Aisling with a broken silver locket that was a gift from her late grandparents. The locket has brought her much comfort, and she has worn it almost every day. She was devastated when the front side of the decorative casing detached and was lost without a trace. She would love to wear it again and replace the pictures of her dear grandparents inside. Goldsmith Richard Talman crafts a new front casing and hinge for the locket and enlists the help of talented engraver Sam Marsden to replicate the intricate lattice design.

Finally, optical expert Richard Biggs is eager to get to work on a pair of vintage binoculars. They were a gift from Erica's father, and together they would take them out birdwatching in rural Devon. These scuffed and dirty binoculars represent a childhood of adventure and a doting dad. Erica still remembers the excitement of spotting her first kingfisher on the Teign Estuary and her love for birds has never ceased. Her wish is to use them again in her with her grandchildren. Richard has a job getting the prisms out but is determined to return them to her in full working order.
