BBC One - The Repair Shop, Series 7, Episode 6

The team restore a sitar, a Second World War pilot’s jacket and a toy bird.

Jay Blades and the team set to work restoring a precious sitar, a Second World War pilot’s jacket and a toy bird that has lost its tweet.

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

Jay invites new expert Kaviraj Singh to the barn to try to fix a broken Indian stringed instrument once played by a much-missed father. Brother and sister Kesar and Parveen were devastated when their father’s sitar was accidentally broken. Holding irreplaceable memories of their childhood and beloved father, the pair are moved to tears when they return to play the lovingly restored instrument once again. 

Leather expert Suzie Fletcher gets to grips with an iconic flying jacket that was worn by a brave RAF Spitfire pilot during the Second World War. Now his grandson longs to wear the cherished item and pass it on to his fledgling family when they grow up.

And mechanical maestro Steve Fletcher works his magic on a damaged mechanical toy bird that has lost its tweet. With its wounded wing and broken bellows, it is a tricky task to get the little bird twirling and tweeting once again.
