The team take on a retro chandelier, an ornate mother-of-pearl table and a treasured toy.

Jay Blades and the team take on a retro chandelier, an ornate mother-of-pearl table and a treasured toy that serves as a memento of a lost childhood in Iraq.

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

Electrics expert Mark Stuckey and silversmith Brenton West join forces to repair a much-loved, sparkling chandelier that once took pride of place in a council house. Owner Suzanne’s mum Pat worked as a cleaner for a wealthy couple who gifted her the cherished chandelier. Remembering it as a constant in her childhood, Suzanne is delighted to see it return to its former glory, and so is her daughter Grace.

Furniture restorer Will Kirk is presented with a damaged mother-of-pearl table, badly burned after a hot pan was mistakenly placed on its surface. Stuart’s treasured heirloom originally belonged to his grandmother and was damaged by his father as he grew ill. Will sets about painstakingly piecing together this ornate piece of furniture to achieve the near impossible.

And mechanical maestro Steve Fletcher turns his attention to a broken toy airplane that doubles up as a memento of a lost childhood in Iraq. The runway plane belongs to Mae, who received it as a child. Now her daughter Serena is hoping it can be fixed so that her mum can relive the childhood and country she left behind.
