The Repair Shop - Series One

'The Repair Shop' is a workshop of dreams where broken or damaged cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life. Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together in one extraordinary space to restore much loved possessions to their former glory. Many of these items have incredible stories behind them and a unique place in history: from an accordion played in the Blitz by a woman who's now in her nineties, to a beautifully crafted clock made by a father who was completely blind. 'The Repair Shop' is an antidote to the throwaway culture and shines a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country.
