BBC One - The Repair Shop, Series 5, Episode 9

The team take on a precious brooch, a rag doll and a well-travelled wooden trunk.

The team revive and restore a precious brooch, a rag doll called Chiefy and a well-travelled wooden trunk.

A tiny bird brooch that’s been in the family for four generations has been hidden away for nearly 40 years after becoming damaged. Owner Alison Donnelly and her sister Lorraine are hoping jewellery expert Richard Talman can put the sparkle back into this delicate treasure, which has split in two. Richard expertly splints the damaged halves, making the bijou keepsake ready to be worn again. 

Bear repair pair Amanda Middleditch and Julie Tatchell encounter a remarkable hand-tailored rag doll called Chiefy who was a World War II lucky mascot to owner Martin’s grandfather, a naval chief petty officer. Poor Chiefy has lost his cheer and his boots and may have an embarrassing case of moth larve. After a short sojourn in the freezer, Amanda and Julie roll up their sleeves and get to work turning Chiefy from shabby-looking to shipshape, a sailor once more fit for service.
    
Finally, a well-travelled trunk now has pride of place in Sam Sharpe’s family home after a journey of 6,000 miles. The camphorwood trunk needs a new latch and has become warped and misshapen over the years, causing some concern for antique furniture restorer Will Kirk. Whilst Will carefully aligns and revives the wooden structure, precious metal expert Brenton West helps forge a replacement brass latch peg. Sam returns to the barn with unsuspecting mum Mary to spring a surprise reveal with co-conspirators Will and Jay.
