Taking on the barn's first fix are leather worker Suzie Fletcher and textile conservator Rebecca Bissonnet. They are tasked with rescuing a dog's jacket worn by a four-legged hero involved in the Lockerbie bombing disaster. Brought in by owner and trainer Neil Powell, the jacket and collar belonged to Pepper, a much-loved border collie who qualified as a search and rescue dog at just 18 months old. The brightest dog Neil has ever known, Pepper also helped rescue a young German boy, who had been missing for over 36 hours in terrible weather. 

But in 1988, after helping search operations in the large crater at the Lockerbie disaster, exposure to the contaminated site left Pepper and the other search dogs with tumours, and they all died. For Neil, it is imperative that Pepper's well-worn search and rescue jacket and collar are restored to keep his memory alive. Suzie brings life back to the leather collar, whilst Rebecca washes away years of dirt from the jacket to reveal something special for Neil. 

The barn's second assignment arrives with Gurcharan and her daughter Dimple, who have high hopes that carpenter Will Kirk can fix a table that has helped their family find their feet. The table was bought by Gurcharan's husband in 1975 after she moved from India to the UK to marry him. Already pregnant and following their arranged marriage back home, the couple needed to quickly fill their new UK home with furniture, and the table was the first thing through the front door. Their children, including Dimple, and later numerous grandchildren, learnt to walk around the low-rise table. And as her health deteriorated, Gurcharan would sit at the table to cook or bake. 

Over the years, it has become one of the family. But a bad re-varnishing job has left it looking past its best, and the spindles, which once formed a magazine rack, have fallen victim to the children, who used them in sword fights. Will brings his A-game to the table, leaving Gurcharan and Dimple with a beautifully restored and fully functional piece to cherish. 

Pete Woods has a gift for restoring instruments, and Natalie and her dad, Mike, are hoping he can restore harmony to one they treasure. Mike's late father played the saxophone over a semi-professional career that spanned from the 1940s right up to the 1990s. Post-war, he travelled around the UK in big bands and swing bands. In 1950, he decided he needed a ‘proper job', so became an engineer, but he continued playing the saxophone with a band he formed called The Dick Wade 5. He was in his mid-70s by the time he retired, and he died in 2004. 

His musical talents were passed down to his son Mike, who plays piano, and his granddaughter Natalie, who is following in his footsteps by playing the saxophone. Mike would love to see the saxophone playing as it did in its heyday so that Natalie can continue to use it. Pete must repair the pads, fix a missing key guard, and spruce up the old brass to get Natalie playing the saxophone in front of an audience of experts. 

Bringing some special footwear for cobbler Dean Westmoreland to tackle is Gill from Merseyside. Her treasured rugby boots, which she wore back in 1994 to help win the Women's World Cup, have seen better days. Back when Gill was climbing the rugby ranks, there were no administrators - the players organised their own games. Gill was heavily involved and was eventually chosen to play for her country. During the 1994/95 season, she was made England captain, and her team reached the final of the Women's World Cup. It was her beloved boots that carried the ball over the try line, winning the match for England. 

After a few more seasons and plenty of wear and tear, Gill put them away for safekeeping before hanging up her boots for good in 2002. Since then, she's been awarded an MBE from the Queen for her services to the women's game. Now, she's keen to get her boots repaired so she can treasure them before donating them to the Rugby Museum in Twickenham to inspire other young women interested in the sport. Dean's got some 'sole-searching' to do in order to revive the boots, but his Midas touch leaves Gill floored.

First through the barn doors are Lloyd Richards and his wife Karen, with his father's professional Welsh rugby shirt from his playing days back in the 1960s. When Lloyd's dad died, Karen took it upon herself to try to score a try with the family and wash the dirty heirloom before they framed it up. She hadn't bargained for the 1960s cotton to not perform well at 40 degrees! The bright red of the beloved Welsh jersey ran into what was the crisp white collar. Things went from bad to worse when she then tried to bleach the now pink collar and ended up with marks over the entire garment. It's a tough tackle for textile conservator Rebecca Bissonnet, but her epic handiwork means it all comes out in the wash and instantly lifts the years off Karen's guilt. 

A much-loved but damaged large brass plate is the next item to arrive. Isha's heirloom, given to her mother around 45 years ago by a friend, once took pride of place at all her family gatherings as a serving plate for some delicious Caribbean feasts. But after Isha moved out of the big family house into a smaller home, the plate ended up stowed away in the garden for 15 years. Keen to revive the tradition of family and food for her two young kids, she's enlisting the help of silversmith Brenton West, who must even the dips out, get rid of the holes in the brass and bring the shine back to the plate. Returning to the barn with some mouthwatering treats for the gang, Isha's plate is transformed to its former glory days as the centrepiece of family life. 

It's a tale of animal rescue next in the barn. Pet lover Angie Bakalarou has the paper skills required for Hazel's map repair. Her dad was an RSPCA inspector who lived for his work rescuing animals all over Yorkshire. As a child, Hazel relished going with her dad on his call-outs. But these were the days before sat nav, and Hazel was put in charge of map-reading them to the right location - a job she adored. After her dad passed away, she found a single map of Wharfedale in his box of ‘important things to keep'. The map is now almost transparent, torn and with its edges falling apart, and Hazel's desperate to save it from ruin. Angie charts out the best route to recovery, leaving Hazel with the keepsake of her dad she had longed for. 

Irish musician Gary hopes professional organ restorer David Burville can put the wind back in his grandmother's beloved accordion. Back in the 1940s, it was her most treasured possession. She taught herself to play traditional Irish music by ear and performed at many a household ceilidh. Growing up, she taught Gary the importance of music in bringing people together, and when she died, when he was just 12, he was already hooked. Years later, graduating with a music degree and becoming a teacher himself, he's keen to see the old squeezebox restored. It's riddled with woodworm, and David's got plenty of fingerwork to contend with. But his mechanical, musical mastery results in a fully restored treasure which fills the barn with pure joy as Gary gives it a play.
