Duration: 29 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two ScotlandLatest broadcast: on BBC Two England

Today in the Repair Shop, Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.

Gramophone expert Tim Weeks brings back many happy childhood memories when he repairs an early Edison model phonograph that has been silent for years. A treasured heirloom passed down from his aunt, the owner is delighted to hear it play music once more. Metal expert Brenton West restores a century-old silver mirror that has been passed down the female line of the owner's family. Replacing a broken corner of the mirror, he makes it fit for use for another hundred years. Meanwhile, leather expert Suzie Fletcher lovingly repairs a broken handle and restores the leather on a writing case formerly owned by pioneering locomotive engineer Robert Stephenson, a hero of the owner.
