The Repair Shop Show Summary, Upcoming Episodes and TV Guide

At the Repair Shop, the team resurrect a piece of kit from the 1970s owned by a pioneering music producer and a large ceramic statue of a German shepherd for a retired police dog handler. Elsewhere in the barn, there's a painstaking restoration of a doctor's diploma and an old pair of child's rugby boots.

First through the barn doors is music producer Neal Fraser, aka The Mad Professor. Neal is credited for his pioneering work establishing a music genre in the 70s and 80s known as dub, and he's brought the very machine he created that distinctive sound with. The electronic sound effect machine was last working back in 1984, and Neal would love to make music with it again.

Ceramics conservator Kirsten Ramsay greets John from Surrey and his faithful friend, an almost life-size statue of a German shepherd dog, named after his last canine partner, Belka. John was a police dog handler for over 25 years, and this effigy symbolises all four of his police dogs throughout his career. John's wife bought the statue as a surprise back in 1972, and it sat loyally in their home until one fateful day, when an overloaded coat stand toppled over and smashed into Belka, knocking off the muzzle section of the face. Kirsten makes it her mission to return the dog to his owner looking tip-top.

The specialist skills of paper conservator Louise Drover are next to be put to the test when Sidra arrives from London with a laminated university medical diploma, awarded to her father in 1977, which is in a terrible state. He worked as an orthopaedic surgeon all over the world, and tragically lost his life to Covid while working in the Middle East at the peak of the pandemic. Sidra found the certificate when she collected his belongings and, knowing what a dedicated doctor her father was, she'd like to display it at home as a reminder of her brave dad. Louise must somehow remove the multiple layers of dry and peeling laminate without damaging Sidra's father's handwritten signature or tearing the paper.

Lastly, Lee delivers his favourite sporting souvenir – his very first pair of rugby boots bought when he was around six by his number one fan, his father. Lee is passionate about rugby and even played for the England squad back in the day. He lost his dad last year and feels that now would be the perfect time to preserve and display these scuffed little boots as a tribute.

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.

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.

Today, woodwork conservator Will Kirk is presented with a kitchen curiosity and, without doubt, a first for the barn. The coconut scraper has been in Fausta's family for over 100 years and was used daily to extract the white flesh from inside a coconut shell. Fausta grew up in Tamil Nadu, India, where coconut is used in much of the cuisine. The task of preparing the coconut often fell to a young Fausta. She prides herself on her speedy scraping skills! The low wooden stool is fitted with a sharp metal tool on its side so that the user can sit astride the tool whilst scraping out the shells. Fausta now lives in the UK but continues to cook many of the region's coconut-based dishes, and having brought it back from a recent trip to visit family, would like to put it to good use again. However, the wooden section that holds the metal tool has crumbled and the tool itself is blunt and rusted. Will does a wonderful job of creating an insert to fill the lost wood and works wonders with wood glue and some clever clamping to ensure it can serve a useful purpose once again.

Sue from Somerset delivers her late father's wedding ring to goldsmith Richard Talman, hoping he can give it a new lease of life. The gold signet wedding ring was worn every day of Charles's 64-year marriage to his beloved wife, Valerie, but not long after Valerie died, the ring was misplaced, causing everyone much concern. The ring was recently discovered but sadly after Charles had passed away. Sue knows it would bring her family much comfort to have it smartened up again as a symbol of her parents' love. Richard pulls out all the stops with this treasure and enlists engraver Sam Marsden to carefully reinstate Charles's initials.

And there's more metal magic in the barn when a music stand arrives with proud owner Will. The folding stand was gifted to Will by his biggest fan, his father. Will started playing the cornet at school as a teenager, finding solace in music during the tricky teenage years and went on to be awarded a scholarship to study music. He has performed in many prestigious venues and now teaches music for a living. He feels he owes it all to his dad, who would move mountains to support him. He lost this special man when he was just 21, so the stand holds huge significance to him. Expert Brenton West rids it of rust and gets all the seized-up sections moving again, while Suzie creates a new leather strap to finish it off nicely.

There is a chance for woodwork expert Will Kirk to showcase his impressive carving skills when Wilma from Bristol arrives with her late mother's occasional table. Wilma's mother, Eunice, emigrated to the UK from Jamaica as a young woman in the early 1960s with very little to her name. She worked hard her entire life and raised three daughters as a single mother, instilling in them the importance of education and kindness. The table is made of dark walnut wood with a veneered top and was Eunice's pride and joy. Wilma remembers it in her childhood home always covered with cloth to protect it but time eventually took its toll - several pieces of the veneer have lifted off and a section of the decorative moulding around the top has broken off. Will carefully carves a replacement piece and comes up with an ingenious plan to find the perfect colour match for the missing veneered patches.

Next to arrive at the barn are father and son Stephen and Ollie with a challenge for vintage electronics expert Mark Stuckey. The 1950s lime green Bakelite radio originally belonged to Stephen's grandfather and has been passed from father to son down the generations. Stephen's clearest memories of it were when his father Rodney used it in his workshop. Rodney was an accomplished carpenter and was forever embarking on ambitious house renovations, including digging out a cellar single handedly, with this trusty radio keeping him company. Ollie, Stephen's son, also remembers the radio in situ in the workshop and would love to use it - that's if Mark can resuscitate it. Fortunately, Rodney wasn't just a talented joiner but an organised fellow too and he kept the radio's original instructions and service manual which proves extremely helpful in its repair.

Finally it's a task for cobbler Dean Westmoreland, when he works wonders on a pair of very tired suede shoes full of happy memories. Bev from Nottingham inherited them from her lovely grandmother, Betsy. Young Bev loved these shoes and every time she'd visit her gran she'd pop them on and march about in them, enjoying the loud clomping sound the heels made. Betsy clearly remembered her granddaughter's love of them, as they were left specifically to her when she passed away. They could really do with some TLC, which Dean is only too happy to administer, and Bev is over the moon.

Ceramics conservator Kirsten Ramsay is entrusted to rescue a porcelain figurine of a nurse holding a child. The elegant figure was a retirement gift given to Niall's mother, Margaret, who was a paediatric nurse for nearly 40 years. The serene figurine epitomises all that Margaret was and, when she passed away recently, it became even more symbolic. However, it was badly broken during a house move. Kirsten must delicately embark on this precarious puzzle.

Paper conservator Angelina Bakalarou is excited to be preserving a storytelling scroll, painted on fine silk and backed in handmade paper. The extensive scene depicts a group of Indian women planting trees. It was created around 1950 by Romita's mother, Sangita, while she was studying fine art and craft at university in eastern India. The story scroll, which is over a metre long, has been rolled up for over 70 years - it is terribly creased and the humid Indian climate has not been kind to the water colours. Angelina must draw on all her expertise to safeguard this beautiful work of art.

The final caller at the barn is gardener Rik with his great grandad's favourite spade. Rik inherited not just the aged spade from Sydney but also his green fingers. Rik fears Sydney's trusty tool might have dug its last hole but not if master of all things metal, Dom Chinea, has anything to do with it!

Today, the team fix a 100-year-old handwritten Qur'an passed down four generations of women, and a fun-loving nonagenarian prepares to take his family's old scooter for a spin. 

First into the barn is Farah with a family treasure that's been passed down four generations of women. Her family's Qur'an was made in Kashmir around 1910 and its 600 pages were ornately handwritten from memory. Now the sacred tome is starting to show its age, with torn pages and misshaped binding. Keen to pass this important book on to her daughter, Farah needs expert Chris Shaw to work his bookbinding magic while handling the Qur'an with the reverence required. It's a tough task for Chris to undertake this deeply religious restoration. 

Next into the barn are father and daughter Harry and Belinda with a rusty old scooter that's crying out for the expert care of metal worker Dominic Chinea. The dented two-wheeler was gifted to Belinda by her parents 61 years ago. Now nonagenarian Harry is keen for the toy to be revamped so that his two great-grandchildren can continue the tradition of fun family times on wheels. Tasked with making it look as good as new, Dom welds, sprays and polishes the scooter to perfection, resulting in a jubilant Harry taking the colourful scooter for a whirl. 

Next, Gaspare wends his way to the barn with a treasured memento from his childhood in Sicily. Art conservator Lucia Scalisi is delighted to unwrap his topographical painting of Marsala, Gaspare's hometown. The painting not only depicts the city but also Joseph Garibaldi, the Italian general famed for unifying the north and south of Italy. The painting belonged to Gaspare's late grandfather, Vito, who worked at the old Marsala wineries for 50 years. The artwork used to hang on top of the barn where the wine was stored, meaning Vito passed it every day of his working life. On retirement, the painting was gifted to Vito, and after he passed away in 2020, it was passed on to Gaspare. Cracked, painted over and way past its prime, Lucia needs to work carefully to uncover and restore this hidden gem. 

The barn's final visitors are another father and daughter duo Richard and Nicky, who have brought a diamond ring with an extraordinarily precious central piece. The broken ring became squashed and fractured when Nicky got her hand stuck while moving a table. Luckily, the inner resin containing the ashes of Nicky's late mother, Julie, remained intact. However, fixing it for Nicky is a hugely daunting job for master goldsmith Richard Talman, who needs to restore the ring without damaging the inner resin.

First into the barn are Billie and her grandmother Doreen with a cherished baby doll which has lost its sheen. Doreen's father brought the doll, called Suzy, back from naval duty where he won her as a raffle prize on board his ship. Doreen cherished the gifted toy, but unfortunately a lifetime of love has left Suzy's mechanical eye broken and face cracked, and her hands and feet are crumbling. The Bear Ladies Amanda Tatchell and Julie Middleditch join forces with David Burville to get the treasured doll back to her beautiful best.

Next, Peter arrives with a poignant reminder of his Ukrainian heritage - a case which belonged to his father, who was taken from Ukraine in 1942 following the Nazi invasion. At 14, he was forced to work for the German war effort and was eventually liberated by the Americans and came to the UK at 20. After his dad recently passed away, the case has taken on even more significance for Peter. But the leather luggage is worn with a wobbly lid, so expert Suzie Fletcher turns investigator to identify all its issues and solve the mystery of the wobbly case.

The final visitor to the barn is Jacqui with a seized-up silver locket for the attention of goldsmith Richard Talman. The locket was given to Jacqui's mum by her dad as a twenty-fifth wedding anniversary present. As a child, Jacqui loved the locket and would beg her mum to let her wear it for an hour or so when she came home from school. Her mum always promised the locket would be hers one day, but sadly, that day came too soon. Jacqui's mum died very suddenly when Jacqui was just 13 years old. Thereafter, Jacqui hung onto the locket, but after an unfortunate accident in which the locket broke, landed on a pavement and was stood on by a passer-by, the beloved necklace has been broken for three decades. Richard has his work cut out to prise the heart-shaped locket apart and revive it to its former glory.

First into the barn is Jessie, accompanied by grandparents Diana and Percy. They've brought an item that's entertained four generations of their musically talented family. Jessie's great-grandfather played in a band in the 1920s and strummed the little ukulele in a rowing boat around a lake to impress Jessie's future great-grandmother when they were courting. Now Jessie is keen for king of strings, luthier Julyan Wallis, to bring the ukulele back to life so that she can continue its legacy. The fix is like a surgical procedure for Jules, who needs to bolster a crack from the inside of the instrument as well as fix its ornate central rose.

Next, it's a soft toy SOS for Amanda Tatchell and Julie Middleditch, courtesy of Nicola from the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. Parsley was a present from Nicola's dad when she was just five years old. As a child, she wasn't given many presents, so Parsley, who sits astride a metal bike and pedals when pushed, has remained very dear to her. By her own admission, Nicola ruined Parsley when she painted his face with lipstick, something she instantly regretted. Since her father passed away in 2020, Parsley has taken on even greater significance for Nicola. Now the toy needs a massive makeover to get him back to his former glory, but as usual the Bear Ladies relish the challenge.

The final visitors to the barn are father and daughter Carlo and Alessia, with a little reminder of family life back in their ancestral homeland of Italy. It's a 1960s split-flap clock made in Carlo's mother's hometown of Udine that horologist Steve Fletcher needs to get flipping again. Working with plastic and mid-century mechanics means Steve is well out of his comfort zone reviving this retro but much-loved timepiece back to its sparkling best.

The team restores an elegant wooden desk connected to one of the 20th century's most important political movements. Susie and her niece Sophia have brought it to be restored. The desk belonged to Susie's grandmother, Una, a leading figure in the suffragette movement, along with her husband, Victor, who was equally passionate about the fight for women's rights. The desk is the place where Una wrote letters to her fellow campaigners, read her correspondence and wrote her diaries. Lucia Scalisi and Will Kirk join forces to bring this historic item into the 21st century while retaining its history.

On a campaign of her own, Kirsten Ramsay is tasked with reviving a shop mannequin that was badly bombed in the Blitz. The mannequin, named Bert, has been a family mascot for Rene for nearly a century. It took pride of place in the window of Rene's father's tailor shop in the East End of London in the 1920s, but when the shop was destroyed in the war, Bert suffered the consequences. Despite his dents and dings, Rene's daughter Shelley fell in love with Bert as a teenager when he was being brought down from the loft. Rene's vivid memories of Bert in the shop window in top hat and tails mean Kirsten enlists the skills of hatter Jayesh Vaghela to get Bert back on his smartly dressed feet once again.

The final visitors to the barn are Dave and his son Lewis from Glasgow, who are hoping Brenton West can get their sporting memento looking champion again. The trophy belonged to Dave's father, John, who won it while swimming a couple of miles in the cold waters of the Clyde in 1953 at the age of just 19. In later years, John became a frogman in the police, so his youthful swimming success served him well. It's a labour of love for Brenton, who brings the shine back into this symbol of John's fortitude and strength.

A 100-year-old shipping log charting the bravery of a seafarer during World War II s given a new lease of life. And a tiny table with rickety legs leaves the barn on a firmer footing.

First into the barn is Abdus with a well-travelled treasure for the attention of paper expert Angelina Bakalarou. Abdus's father Ansol was a seafarer who rose through the ranks to lead a below-deck team shovelling coal in scorching hot temperatures. The ships on which he worked travelled across the ocean, bringing spices, sugar, tea and coffee from India and China to the UK. During the Second World War, the ships would be bombed by the Germans, but they continued nonetheless. For Abdus, his grandfather was a hero who changed the fortunes of his family through his bravery and sheer hard work. But the log that records details of his voyages is tattered and torn, leaving Abdus afraid it won't survive. It's a tough task for Angelina, but Abdus is delighted when he returns to the barn to find the document back to full strength.

Next, visitor Beth has brought some items with a special resonance for her to the barn. Beth's father Peter was a master thatcher who played a big part in reviving a dwindling skill. Sadly, he died when she was only 16, so his thatching tools have become hugely important to both Beth and her siblings. Brittle, insect-ravaged and worn, it takes a collaboration between leather expert Suzie Fletcher and wood whizz Will Kirk to get the thatching tools back in full working order in time for Beth's return.

The final visitors are mother and daughter Ann and Lucy with a tiny metal table that's on its last legs. The table was made by Ann's grandfather Joseph over 100 years ago for her mother Dora when she was a little girl. Every night, Dora and her twin siblings would have a cup of cocoa, but Dora always spilled hers. So Ukrainian-born Joseph made her the little table to keep her cup safe. Dora treasured the gift her entire life, a feeling that has been passed on to both her daughter and granddaughter. Now, knowing they'd like the table to be robust enough to pass on to the next generation, silversmith Brenton West gets to work on putting the wobbly-legged item on a firmer footing once again.

Today, a beloved but rickety old ironing board and a badly broken marriage cupboard are resuscitated.

First into the barn is John with a treasured trumpet that's battered and worn. The instrument was gifted to John by his grandfather Frank when he was just seven years old.

Born in 1918, Frank played in an army band during World War II and carried on playing after an illness left him blind. Now John wants the trumpet fixed so that he can start teaching his own grandson to play in the same way his granddad taught him. Pete Woods is tasked with wrestling the battered trumpet back into shape for John, who returns to the barn after a serious spell of ill health to be reunited with the precious instrument.

Next, a unique piece of furniture requiring the seasoned skills of wood restorer Will Kirk. The delicately painted cupboard was gifted to Claire's great-grandparents when they married and provides a symbol of their long-lasting love. It's a tough challenge for Will as the wardrobe is completely missing a back board, internal shelves and the symbolic external paintwork is chipped and flaking. Retaining much of the original paintwork, Will works wonders much to the delight of Claire.

The final visitor to the barn is Jane with a rather domestic chore for metal man Dominic Chinea. Her beloved but rickety old ironing board reminds Jane of a time when she and her husband couldn't afford a home and lived in a squat. Pregnant with her first child, the young couple were given a little council flat above Victoria Coach Station when he was born. The board had been left by the previous owner, so Jane used it and has kept it ever since. Dom even gets out his sewing machine to return the board back to its best.

To celebrate 75 years of the NHS, the team revives four precious items chronicling the evolution of the publicly funded healthcare system founded in 1948.

First to arrive are two nurses who have devoted their working lives to the NHS. Approaching retirement, Catherine is the longest-standing staff member on a children's ward at Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey, while Katie is the senior sister on the same ward. They need the expertise of metal man Dominic Chinea to get their hospital food trolley back on track. The Thomas the Tank Engine trolley provides light relief for sick children as it's wheeled into the ward three times a day to serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's been a feature on the ward for more than 30 years, but it is starting to show its age. It's full steam ahead for Dom who needs to get the trolley back to the hospital as soon as possible for the children to enjoy.

Next, the barn team welcomes a very important visitor who owes his life to the NHS, children's author and poet Michael Rosen. He's hoping bookbinder Chris Shaw can repair the daily diary kept by nurses and carers whilst he was in a 40-day induced coma at the start of the pandemic. The modern spiral notebook is Michael's record of this time when family members were unable to visit. The hospital staff were the only people in close contact with him and used the diary to relay what was happening to Michael day by day. The patient diary was gifted to him when he was finally discharged from the critical care unit. Along with the notebook, Michael has brought the many letters, drawings and notes that his young fans sent to him while he was in hospital. Currently being stored in a messy bundle, Chris gets to work to create a more fitting tribute for the thoughtful artwork, leaving the usually eloquent Michael momentarily lost for words.

Next into the barn are Dr Adrian and his daughter Lydia with a 1960s GP's bag holding memories of Adrian's late father Noel. Born in Burma, Noel attended medical school in the 1950s but came to the UK in the 1960s to escape the military regime. Once here, Noel found work as a GP and spent his entire career dedicating himself to the NHS. His son also became a GP, and his granddaughter Lydia is currently training to be a dentist, meaning his lifetime dedication to healthcare lives on in his family. Leather expert Suzie Fletcher joins forces with silversmith Brenton West, who needs to get Noel's old medical instruments back in working order.

The barn's final visitors are another NHS family. Husband and wife Bill and Kate and their daughter Fiona have all worked for the NHS. They've brought along an old wooden desk that Bill saved from being thrown away when he was a student at nursing school in 1987. Bill went on to do all his studying at the desk and subsequently spent 37 years specialising in mental health. His wife Kate has worked for many years as an NHS administrator, also using the desk to study for her own qualifications. Now daughter Fiona is working as an occupational therapist in an NHS community mental health team, something that makes her parents very proud. Woodwork whizz Will Kirk is tasked with revamping this important little desk in tribute to their hard work.

A seized-up ventriloquist's dummy that's over 100 years old receives a much-needed makeover, while a revived cornet brings back precious memories. Also undergoing triumphant transformations are a Roman-style leather chair and a one-off, handmade notebook recording information gathered whilst birdwatching.

Getting to work first is organ restorer David Burville, who has an appointment with George, an 1890s ventriloquist's puppet, one of the barn's more idiosyncratic visitors, accompanied by his owner Alison. Alison has brought George to see David with a request that this once dapper young gent can be transformed from his now rather worn and tatty state. Alison has had George since she was an 11-year-old girl struggling at school due to undiagnosed dyslexia. George gave Alison an outlet for her creativity and personality that she credits with helping her grow in confidence as a child. But now George is broken, both on the outside and the inside. His face is scuffed and chipped, the inner workings that move his eyes and mouth have seized up, and his once snazzy suit is ripped and moth-eaten. It's clear George needs a lot of attention, so both Kirsten and the teddy bear ladies come to David's aid, offering to fix up George's face and outfit while David delves inside to restore George's expressive face and mouth movements.

Next to arrive is Lewys from south east Wales, who has brought with him a very precious instrument handed down from his grandfather. A brass cornet, dating from 1897, belonged to Keith, a bandleader in a small Welsh village, and was inherited by Lewys after his grandfather passed away on Boxing Day 2021. Lewys spent hours learning the instrument under the tuition of his grandfather, and the cornet holds incredibly precious memories of his grandpa Keith filling the house with music. But in his later years, Keith was unable to play the instrument, and its once vibrant exterior is now dull and dented. Lewys is hoping that musical instrument expert Pete Woods can get the cornet back into the perfect condition for it to be proudly played once again.

Arriving for an appointment with skilled upholsterer Sonnaz Nooranvary is Nick from Somerset, who has brought along the broken remains of a Roman-style chair that belonged to his late father Richard. With the ornate leather and timber chair in pieces on the table, it's clear Sonnaz has her work cut out. Nick explains that he grew up on a farm, largely raised by his dad after losing his mother at the age of just six. Nick's father was a hard-working man who still made time for his family, and Nick has fond memories of sitting on his father's lap in the Roman chair after Sunday lunch and listening to him tell stories and entertain the family. Sadly, Nick's father was diagnosed with cancer and passed away whilst Nick was at boarding school aged 11. The chair is a poignant reminder of the beloved father who taught Nick so much about life, but now it's in several pieces, with badly worn leather and a missing leg. Sonnaz commandeers furniture restorer Will Kirk to recreate a new leg and fit the unique X-shaped chair-frame back together whilst she painstakingly removes the original leather and stud work, retaining as much of the original as possible.

The last visitor to the shop is Kat, who hopes that book restorer Chris Shaw can bring his considerable talents to the restoration of a handwritten notebook that once belonged to her grandmother Mildred. The notebook, which Mildred started in the 1940s, is a catalogue of local wildlife and birds, complete with her own drawings and even feathers she collected. Kat credits her grandmother with instilling in her the same love of nature, and the two would often spend hours wandering Kew Gardens spotting birds and enjoying the outdoors. It was a pastime that Kat enjoyed up until her grandmother's death in 2020. When Mildred passed away, Kat found it hard to find the enthusiasm for birdwatching, until the notebook was discovered amongst Mildred's belongings. Now Kat would like Chris to strengthen the book, which is falling apart, so that she can reconnect with the memories of her grandmother and maybe even add some of her own bird sightings to the notebook to continue her grandmother's legacy.

The team repair a microscope that once belonged to a pioneering scientist and is now in the hands of a keen youngster wishing to use it once again. Elsewhere in the barn, there are restoration jobs on a pair of well-worn war boots that accompanied a captured soldier during the Second World War and an abstract sculpture that links a mother and daughter. On Will's list is the substantial repair of a swinging bench from India that threatens to collapse the next time it's sat on.

Arriving first are eight-year-old Felix and his dad Sam from Hertfordshire. They have broughtwith them a microscope handed down from Felix's great-grandfather John D Bernal. Felix has a keen interest in science, perhaps unsurprising considering his great-grandfather was a pioneering figure in the field of crystallography and helped pave the way for the scientists who discovered the double-helix structure of DNA. But despite Felix's enthusiasm, he won't currently be making any discoveries as the microscope, dated 1890, no longer works. Optics expert Richard Biggs diagnoses the key problem: the microscope is missing a crucial lens. He must also restore the reflective mirror that illuminates the glass slides.

Cobbler Dean Westmoreland has an appointment with Malcolm, who is entrusting him with a very special pair of boots that saw his late father Jack through some very difficult wartime years and beyond. Jack was captured in Norway before seeing any combat and spent five years as a prisoner of war. His diaries, which Malcolm still has, detail the horrific conditions that Jack and his fellow soldiers endured including periods of starvation and freezing winters. When Jack eventually returned home, the boots came with him, but the heel has worn down, the stitching is falling apart and the moths have attacked the felt uppers.

Next to arrive is Krishna from Hertfordshire. She's hoping that woodwork maestro Will Kirk can repair a swinging bench that has been in her family for over 120 years. The bench, a traditional item of furniture from Gujarat in West India, belonged to Krishna's great-grandfather, and she remembers it being in family members' homes as a child in India. When Krishna had cancer, the bench was a sanctuary where she could recover from her chemotherapy sessions. But now its joints are loose and precarious, and the whole structure threatens to break if sat upon. Will's plan includes dismantling the entire bench so he can assess which parts need to be replaced and remade, and he enlists Sonnaz Nooranvary to restuff the upholstery.

Finally, Maria has a unique challenge for ceramics expert Kirsten Ramsay. She has brought in a handcrafted sculpture made by her mother Betina, an artist from Buenos Aires, Argentina. The marble sculpture is the first in a triptych of works depicting a growing organic object, and it's a work of which Betina was particularly proud. However, when brought to the UK, it split from its wooden base, with pieces sheared off the sculpture itself. It's a tricky repair, so Kirsten calls in Dom to assist.

The team breathe new life into a military bugle that is far from fit for parade, a portable radio that once filled a hair salon with musical memories, a Big Ben-shaped clock painstakingly built from matchsticks, and a pair of children's shoes that represent a family's story of survival.

Arriving first are Nicky and veteran Billy, who have brought with them a military bugle that once belonged to Nicky's great-grandfather. The bugle has seen better days, with a plethora of dents and dinks along its once-shiny surface. Billy was in the army for 20 years before contracting a virus that left him blind. Now he wants the bugle brought back to a condition that's fit for parade and the role it still serves in his work at a blind veteran's rehabilitation centre in Llandudno.

On experienced cobbler Dean Westmoreland's to-do list is the restoration of a pair of children's shoes that are over 75 years old. The leather boots belong to 83-year-old Nechama from Tel Aviv.
