The Repair Shop - Season 6 Episode 5

Jay Blades and the team bring four treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. First is a poignant story of a very precious keepsake. Rose Werner and her sister Linda have travelled from Essex in the hope that Suzie Fletcher can turn her expertise to a decorative leather box that they hold dear. Peter Coxon is next to arrive, hoping the teamwork of Steve Fletcher and Dominic Chinea can provide a speedy recovery for a favourite childhood toy. The wind-up tin boat is a model of the record-breaking Bluebird speedboat from the 1950s. Upholsterer Hannah Weston-Smith takes receipt of an old Italian dressing-table chair that is ripped and worn but holds sweet memories for owner Chantal Taylor. Finally, Danielle Woods and her daughter Niamh come to see whether toy restorers Julie Tatchell and Amanda Middleditch can save a much-loved companion before it's too late.
