本集简介

The team takes on four more extraordinary items rich in personal and historical significance, each in dire need of repair.

First into the barn are Paul and his son Sam from Bradford, with an extraordinary clock that's housed within a dazzling miniature drum kit. Commissioned by Paul's late father as a 25th-birthday gift, this handmade brass and gold-leaf model was crafted by a renowned local clocksmith, but years of sun exposure have dulled its shine, and its tick no longer tocks. Drum restorer Pete Woods and horologist Steve Fletcher team up to bring back its sparkle and precision, honouring the memory of a beloved dad and the craftsmanship of a devoted friend.

Next, paper conservator Angelina Bakalarou meets Rachel from Devon, who brings in a water-damaged photograph of her great aunt Maud Shaw. Maud was hired by President John F Kennedy and his wife to be their children's ‘very own Mary Poppins' and looked after Catherine and John Jr through good – and famously tragic – times. Gifted by Jackie Kennedy herself when Maud retired from the White House in 1965, the photograph was accidentally soaked by a watering can and left wrinkled and stained. With painstaking care, Angelina washes, flattens and retouches the image, preserving a treasured piece of family and American history.

Ceramics expert Kirsten Ramsay welcomes Jean, a former Barnardo's child, who brings along a wax statuette that was gifted to her in recognition of her remarkable fundraising efforts for the charity. On learning that hundreds of children from Victorian times were buried in unmarked graves at sites across London, Jean set about raising thousands of pounds for a series of statues to mark the names of the dead and was presented with this statuette by the sculptor of one of the statues. But with her precious possession having been badly melted by a radiator, it will take all of Kirsten's skills to reshape it back into a fitting memorial.

Finally, luthier Julyan Wallis meets Nat – now from Yorkshire but originally from Venezuela – who brings in a precious musical instrument from her childhood. The cuatro is a traditional four-stringed instrument central to her country's heritage. Originally gifted by her father, the cuatro was damaged during house repairs and left unplayable, leaving Nat distraught. It's now down to Julyan to repair its cracks, reset its frets and restore its voice, reconnecting Nat with her heritage and giving her daughters a chance to carry the music forward.

The team of expert craftspeople welcome the owners of four more cherished heirlooms steeped in personal history and emotional significance. 

First through the barn doors is a WWII Auxiliary Territorial Service jerkin, brought in by history enthusiast Mary from Ledbury. Once worn by female dispatch riders during the war, the leather garment had suffered extensive damage. Master saddler Suzie Fletcher undertakes a meticulous restoration, allowing Mary to wear it once more at re-enactment events and continue her mission to honour the daring women of wartime Britain. 

Next, electronics expert Mark Stuckey is tasked with reviving a vintage cine projector belonging to Stephen and Chris from Southampton. The projector holds decades-old footage filmed by their late friend Frank, a Royal Navy officer, while he was serving in the armed forces. With help from plastics expert Charlotte, Mark rebuilds the mechanism and restores the lens, allowing the couple to view Frank's adventures at sea for the first time in over 40 years – an emotional reunion with a cherished friend. 

Bookbinder Chris Shaw is delighted to see a fragile 1879 physiology textbook owned by Holly from Derbyshire. It belonged to her late father, a renowned physiologist, who inspired her to follow in his footsteps. Sadly, he has passed away, but on her graduation day, Holly's brother presented this special volume to her. With its spine broken and pages falling apart, Chris uses traditional techniques to rebind and restore the book, preserving its inscription and illustrations. The result is a treasured heirloom that Holly can now explore without fear of further damage – a lasting tribute to her father's legacy and their shared passion for science. 

From Watford, Shaminder brings in a well-worn Indian harmonium that belonged to her father, Gurmit Singh Virdee, a beloved music teacher who inspired thousands across the UK and Kenya. The harmonium, used in Sikh worship and family gatherings, has broken keys, and some of the knobs are missing. Organ restorer David Burville carefully repairs the reeds, recreates the knobs, and balances the keys to restore the instrument's voice. His hard work culminates in a heartfelt performance that brings the family's musical legacy back to life.

Wheeling in the next item are a father and his three sons, dad Rob joined by Mark, Adam and Nick, who have brought a career first for bike restorer Tim Gunn. The polo bike and mallet belonged to the absent fifth family member and teammate, Joe, who tragically passed away in a motorbike accident in 2015. Tim's stunning restoration not only rekindles fond memories but also gets the brothers back onto their own bikes, much to their dad's delight. 

Next, hoping for the healing hands of ceramics conservator Kirsten Ramsay, Janaki brings in a precious link to her Sri Lankan heritage. The ceramic statue of Buddha has been in her family for over 70 years and was passed to her by her mum. Back in Sri Lanka, her mother had - unusually for the times - left the family home and started work as a nanny for a wealthy family. After a few years, the family decided to emigrate to the UK and asked Janaki's mum if she'd like to go with them. Quite the adventurer, she jumped at the chance. Once settled in London, she married and had children of her own. Times were tight, but she remained a devout Buddhist, and Janaki recalls the statue was always the centrepiece of her mother's shrine at home. But time has not been kind to the little statue. With damage to the all-important gesture of the Buddha and a broken base, Kirsten must undertake some delicate repairs to sympathetically restore this beautifully dainty piece. 

Last, an heirloom from the golden age of cinema. Sisters Georgie and Lydia need the help of upholsterer Sonnaz Nooranvary to honour a couple who played a starring role in their lives. Their great uncle built a cinema with his brother in Knighton, Powys, which opened in 1947 to a huge queue of people wanting to experience the local cinema. Their great aunt Enid was also involved in the business. The building was demolished in the 1990s, so the siblings never saw the cinema, but they were delighted to find some cinema seats stored under their great uncle and aunt's house. Sonnaz and Dom join forces not only to bring the chairs back to life but also to give the two young women the 1940s cinema experience they've never known.
