Spirits are high at the Repair Shop as Jay Blades and the team embark on five festive fixes.

Adding a touch of pizzazz to a 1960s home bar, that once formed the cornerstone of family Christmas parties for a newly arrived Caribbean family, are woodwork wizard Will Kirk and restoration royalty Dominic Chinea.

Expert duo Steve Fletcher and Kirsten Ramsay face their own festive challenge in the form of a bent and bedraggled Christmas tree that has been at the heart of family festivities for over 100 years, .

Meanwhile, electrical whizz Mark Stuckey is tasked with breathing new life into an old projector, bringing footage of departed loved ones sharply back into focus.

Teddy bear ladies Amanda Middleditch and Julie Tatchell get the stuffing started on a toy Santa decoration purchased by a much-missed father who was absolutely crackers about Christmas.

And a battered trombone, the sole surviving tangible reminder of a father lost long ago, is lovingly revived by Pete Woods in time for some very special Christmas celebrations which see our experts magically transported back to their own childhoods. Show less
