The team restore an antique skeleton clock, a giant teddy bear and a transistor radio.

Jay Blades and the team restore an antique skeleton clock, a giant teddy bear and a transistor radio that has huge sentimental value to its owner.

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

Resident clockmaker Steven Fletcher rescues a very special skeleton clock just in the nick of time. This Victorian antiquity has been in Nigel Burch’s family for four generations. It was awarded in 1918 to his grandfather, Ernest Sidney, who, despite sustaining an injury in the First World War, went on to become a successful athlete. Now with Nigel’s son Pete in training for the 2020 Paralympics, the time is right to hand for Nigel to hand over the precious timepiece to the next generation.  

Teddy bear repair pair Amanda and Julie have a huge job on their hands to bring a giant bear back to his former glory. Owner Stefan wants to pass Big Ted down to his ten-year-old daughter Jessica, but sadly this larger-than-life bear is a shadow of his former self, currently living out his days in a black bin-liner with all the stuffing knocked out of him. Julie and Amanda soon run out of work space in the barn, so take Big Ted outside to start his transformation into a cuddly colossus.

And vintage radio restorer Mark Stuckey revives a much-loved transistor radio that holds very dear memories for its owner. Bought by Albert Thompson and his then-girlfriend Eileen in 1961, it provided the sound track to Albert and Eileen’s courtship and to their long and happy marriage. Sadly, the radio broke down and stopped working two years to the day after Eileen passed away. It takes the combined efforts of three of the Repair Shop’s finest experts to get it playing sweet music once again.
