BBC One - The Repair Shop, Series 7, Episode 35

The team restore a soft toy, a miniature piano and a work-torn wall clock.

Jay Blades and the team restore a beloved soft toy owl, a miniature piano and a work-torn wall clock.

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

First to arrive at the barn are Judith Holliman and her son James. They have brought a dear old friend – a stuffed owl called Wol. Judith clearly remembers him peeking out of her Christmas stocking when she was just a few years old, and they have been inseparable ever since. He was a gift from her beloved grandmother, who helped to raise her, and Wol is constant reminder of her grandmother’s love. But the decades of hugs and kisses have rather worn out Wol, and he could really do with the expert care of bear ladies Amanda and Julie.

Musical maestro David Burville welcomes Kathryn Freeman from Hertfordshire. He is excited to get his healing hands on her family’s miniature piano, which is now in a sorry state. Kathryn grew up with five older sisters, and this pint-sized piano provided hours of entertainment for them all. However, after years of enthusiastic playing, it is far from tuneful. Several hammers and tone bars are missing, numerous keys are broken, and the exterior is faded and chipped.

And Moonis Alam from London comes to see horologist Steve Fletcher, in the hope that Steve can bring his family’s wall clock back to life again. The clock bears a scar that tells a compelling tale of war and a rather narrow escape during the Bangladeshi liberation in the early 1970s. It signifies a brave Bangladeshi family who made a fresh start in the UK, and Moonis would love to hear it tick and chime once again.
