BBC One - The Repair Shop, Series 7, Episode 18

The team tackle a salt and pepper set, a talking doll and a hat worn by a WWII POW.

Jay Blades and the team tackle a salt and pepper set, a talking doll who has lost her voice and a hat worn by a WWII prisoner of war as he worked on the Death Railway.

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

Silversmith Brenton West takes on the repair of a salt and pepper music box of great sentimental value to owner Janice. The ornate pair was purchased in Hong Kong by Janice’s mother, who accompanied her father during his army posting in the 1950s. Janice played with the set throughout her childhood, and now she wants her daughter to treasure it for future generations.

Mechanical expert Steve Fletcher finds himself flummoxed by a talking doll who’s lost her voice. Mending the miniature record player inside her proves an unusually tricky challenge for Steve. Meanwhile, teddy bear ladies Julie Tatchell and Amanda Middleditch take on the comparatively fun part of the fix, creating her original 1960s clothes.

And master hatter Jayesh Vaghela is brought to the barn to tackle a treasured hat worn by a prisoner of war as he worked on the Death Railway in the Second World War.
