BBC One - The Repair Shop, Series 4 (Shortened Versions), Episode 24

The team restore a family portrait, a vintage fountain pen and a tiger automaton.

Jay Blades and the team restore a treasured family portrait, a precious vintage fountain pen and a 130-year-old tiger automaton that has lost its growl.

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

Fine art conservator Lucia Scalisi finds herself in the middle of an unusual mystery as she sets about restoring a painting by celebrated artist CJ Frost. Brought into the barn by Andrew Winter, the portrait depicts his mother as a young woman, but having been left languishing in an attic for decades, it has become torn and discoloured over time. As Lucia begins her painstaking restoration work, she makes an unusual and surprising discovery.

Mechanically minded duo Steve Fletcher and David Burville team up for the repair of a 130-year-old tiger automaton that has amused and terrified generations of small children. Once the proud possessor of a ferocious growl and a fearsome leap, the tiger has lost its sparkle in recent years.

And fountain pen restorer and historian Laurence Oldfield tackles the restoration of a vintage Wyvern pen. This treasured item was presented to owner Sharon by her grandfather to mark her achievement in being the first member of her family to graduate from university, but it hasn’t written a word for years.

The Repair Shop: Series 4 (Shortened Versions)
