The Repair Shop tonight

This evening (Wednesday, 14 January) sees a repeat episode at 8PM on BBC One.

Jay Blades and his team restore four treasured family heirlooms, reviving memories along with them.

Heather McPherson and her grandson Jacob bring a significant pine table, originally owned by Heather’s great-grandmother, for restoration by Will Kirk. The table, central to family gatherings and memories, especially for Jacob, who associates it with his late father, is repaired to continue hosting family meals.

A unique task arrives with Grant Harvey and his mum Tracey: a pair of worn clown shoes once belonging to Grant’s great-uncle Bert, a factory worker by day and a clown by night. Master cobbler Dean Westmoreland takes on the challenge to preserve the memory of Bert’s joy-bringing clown persona.

Sue and John Cox entrust David Burville with a Victorian diorama of a horse-racing scene, a family heirloom believed to be crafted by John’s grandfather. The diorama, damaged decades ago by a young John, requires delicate restoration to bring it back to its former glory.

Lastly, Tom Rollason seeks help for Blue Bear, a teddy bear that has been with him since birth, symbolizing the bond with his mother. The bear, now worn and missing parts, is given a new lease of life by Amanda and Julie, ensuring it can continue to represent Tom’s cherished family connection.
