The team take on a coffee table, a wind-up panda and a coconut scraper.

The team take on a mid-century coffee table, a wind-up panda that holds special family memories and an unusual kitchen utensil - a coconut scraper.

A once-beautiful mid-century coffee table has been part of owner Graham's life for 60 years. The much-loved item belonged to his parents and took pride of place in their living room. It may just be a table, but this everyday object is a symbol of a very happy childhood and a reminder of his beloved mum and dad. Wood restoration expert Will Kirk uses all his knowledge and skills to bring this unique and exotic wooden object back to life.

It's collaboration time for clockmaker Steven Fletcher and our resident toy duo Amanda Middleditch and Julie Tatchell when a wind-up panda dating from the 1960s is brought to the barn. It is the first toy owner Gill remembers having and was a gift from her late father, who tragically died two weeks before her sixth birthday aged just 52. After providing 50 years of comfort and support to Gill, panda is looking worse for wear, and it's a tearful moment as they are reunited.

An unusual and ingenious contraption arrives for the attention of metal worker Dominic Chinea. It is a coconut scraper and was the creation of Dudley's father, who migrated with his family to the UK from India in 1958. Dudley and his brothers have fond memories of helping their mother make a Goan treat called Kulkuls. It's down to Dom to get the rusted utensil back into service so the brothers can preserve this childhood memento and recreate the famous and much-loved sweet treats.
