BBC One - The Repair Shop, Series 11, Episode 22

A beloved but rickety old ironing board and a badly broken wardrobe are resuscitated.

The experts revive a beloved but rickety old ironing board and a badly broken cupboard that was originally made for a young European couple for their marriage.

This time, a beloved but rickety old ironing board and a badly broken marriage cupboard are resuscitated.

First into the barn is John, with a treasured trumpet that’s battered and worn. The instrument was gifted to John by his grandfather Frank when he was just seven years old.

Born in 1918, Frank played in an army band during World War II and carried on playing after an illness left him blind. Now John wants the trumpet fixed so that he can start teaching his own grandson to play in the same way his granddad taught him. Pete Woods is tasked with wrestling the battered trumpet back into shape for John, who returns to the barn after a serious spell of ill health to be reunited with the precious instrument.

Next, a unique piece of furniture requiring the seasoned skills of wood restorer Will Kirk. The delicately painted cupboard was gifted to Claire’s great-grandparents when they married and provides a symbol of their long-lasting love. It’s a tough challenge for Will, as the wardrobe is missing a back board and internal shelves, and the symbolic external paintwork is chipped and flaking. Retaining much of the original paintwork, Will works wonders, much to the delight of Claire.

The final visitor to the barn is Jane, with a rather domestic chore for metal man Dominic Chinea. Her beloved but rickety old ironing board reminds Jane of a time when she and her husband couldn’t afford a home and lived in a squat. The young couple were given a little council flat above Victoria Coach Station when their first child was born. The board had been left by the previous owner, so Jane used it and has kept it ever since. Dom even gets out his sewing machine to return the board back to its best.
