First through the workshop doors is Bev, bringing a local landmark that has lost its way. The dilapidated village sign from Broome in Norfolk was designed for the millennium by Bev's dad, who was a joiner. Sadly, he passed away in 1999 and was unable to complete the job. Instead, Bev's twin brother took on the task of finishing the sign in time for it to be unveiled by their mum at the village hall on the eve of the millennium. With the sign significantly damaged, it's a tricky job for woodworker Will Kirk, but he unveils it to a delighted Bev, who can't wait for it to be resurrected and take pride of place once again in the village. 

A rusted-up shop till is the next item to arrive, courtesy of Jas, whose parents opened a grocery shop in the late 1960s that largely catered to Coventry's Asian community. The shop became a hub for the area and ‘an adventure' for Jas and his siblings, who would sneak down at night to take chocolates. After a decade, the shop couldn't compete with bigger supermarkets and closed its doors, meaning the till hasn't been used for years. With no key, the contraption is near impossible for Steve Fletcher to prise open, but when he does, he's rewarded with the find of handmade toy money inside. When Jas returns to discover the finding, he is transported straight back to his joyful childhood. 

Next to arrive is a small handmade organ crafted from cardboard and brought in by Sairah, whose grandfather made it in Basra during the First World War. Hailing from a family of organ builders, he made it out of army signal book covers whilst serving in the Royal Engineers. Fixing a handmade item is a tricky task, even for seasoned organ restorer David Burville, and after a lengthy fix, Sairah returns wondering if it will play once again. 

Finally, 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 eager to watch films in their local community. 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 were delighted to find some cinema seats stored under their great-uncle and great-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 a glimpse of a 1940s cinema experience they have never known.

First through the workshop doors is Ben, with an unusual item needing a joint crusade to get it back on its feet. Silversmith Brenton West, woodworker Will Kirk and leather expert Suzie Fletcher collaborate to bring this suit of armour back to life. Dubbed ‘Arthur', it belonged to Ben's grandfather, actor Joss Ackland, and is believed to have been gifted to him as a parting gift after the 1973 film The Three Musketeers. The suit of armour stood guard in the room that Ben slept in when staying over at his grandparents' house as a young child. He was afraid of it, but they reassured him by saying it was there to protect him. When Joss died at the end of 2023, Ben asked if he could have the suit of armour, and is now keen to have it restored. 'It's important for me that Arthur's brought back to life, because it's part of him.' While Brenton leads the charge, Will tackles the joist, and Suzie focusses on the leather straps. When Ben returns, he's blown away by the memories brought flooding back by the restored suit of armour.

Next, husband-and-wife-team Walid and Joujou Saad hold the key to the restoration of a precious typewriter brought in by writer Nicola and her father Joe. The pre-war machine belonged to Nicola's mother, Maureen, who was taught to type on it by her grandmother to land her first job in the 1960s. A year later, Joe got a job at the same company, where the young couple met and fell in love. Nicola says, 'That machine helped her learn the skill to get the job and meet the love of her life.' Sadly, Maureen now has Alzheimer's, and Nicola is keen to have the typewriter restored, so that she can use it and explain to her own children the important role it played in their grandma's life. It's a big degreasing and cleaning task for Team Typewriter, but when dad and daughter return, they are delighted with the restored machine.

Arriving next is a beast of a challenge for stained-glass restorer Matt Nickels. Charlotte's grandfather made the piece of stained-glass – featuring a stag in the centre – which was installed in the bathroom of the bungalow where he lived. 'It's always been one of those quirky parts of the house.' Now, Charlotte's sister lives in the property and is doing it up, but Charlotte is determined to save the stained-glass pane that she remembers from childhood. Will Kirk whips up a teak frame to complement the colourful glass, leaving Charlotte absolutely delighted when she returns.

Last is a pair of boots to get the whole barn moving. Dance teacher Helen has brought in her red and white cowboy boots that embody 30 years of fun on the floor line dancing. Recently, Helen's heel got stuck in the torn inner lining of one of the boots, and her husband had to cut through its length to release her foot. Helen was horrified. Determined to still be dancing aged 90, she needs her trusty boots back in fine fettle. Cobbler Dean Westmoreland is tasked with getting the boots back in harmony so that the barn team can be taught line dancing by a delighted Helen.
