The Repair Shop
Season 7 Episode 4 - Toy Carriage
Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. Metal expert Dominic Chinea takes on a toy carriage which originally belonged to a young boy born in 1911. Owner Jane inherited it from her father and remembers pulling it along and sitting on it as a child. Silversmith Brenton West is in his element as he carefully restores two platinum framed records given to rock star Jimmy McCulloch, a guitarist in Paul McCartney's band Wings. Jimmy's younger cousin, Margaret, is now custodian of the precious discs and longs to see them revived in honour of her beloved relative who tragically died when he was just 26 years old. And mechanical expert Steve Fletcher takes on an ornate but broken clock. For owner Simon, the timepiece not only triggers memories of his much-loved grandmother but also symbolises the significant setbacks suffered by his 18-year-old daughter Emily.
