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

Resident clock expert Steven Fletcher is in receipt of an unusual timepiece - a statue of a barmaid holding a swinging pendulum clock dial. These clocks are known for being temperamental but with a good clean and a few replacement parts, Steve has it swinging once more.

Brenton sets about replacing them and uses some old tricks of the trade to bring the treasure back to life.
