The Repair Shop: At Christmas

BBC One - The Repair Shop, At Christmas

Four faded, festive treasures are given a new lease of life.

The team take on a precious toy rocking horse, a seized-up stereogram, a toy truck built during WWII and a vintage musical carousel ornament.

Christmas has arrived at The Repair Shop, where its team of passionate and skilled craftspeople set to work repairing and rescuing four beloved festive treasures.

Vicar Steve Stewart and his wife Amanda have brought their cherished rocking horse to the barn. The toy was a Christmas gift for their daughter Tamsin when she was five years old. Tragically, just two years later, their little girl passed away. The horse is now being given a new lease of life to be gifted to their nine-year-old daughter Hetty to play on and remember the older sister she never met. 

Also arriving at the barn is a treasured but tired stereogram, once the centrepiece of a family’s festive celebrations. Now broken and battered, it has stood silent for years. The team pull together to bring the memories back for two sisters, who delight in hearing 'the gram' playing their parents’ favourite Christmas record for the first time in decades.

Eighty-year-old Christopher Sugg brings his treasured toy truck into the barn. Made by a team of Second World War engineers led by Christopher's own father, this unique vehicle was gifted to him for Christmas in 1945. Now, 75 years later, he wants his young grandson to experience the same joy he felt all those years ago. 

Finally, a vintage musical Christmas ornament from the United States. Now faded and falling apart, the carousel originally belonged to wealthy New York couple Bill and Babe Paley. It was gifted to their PA, Robert Brown, who brought it back to his native Scotland in the 1970s, where it has taken pride of place at his family’s festive celebrations for three generations.
