Episode 13
Jay Blades and the team take on a musical table, a WWII Land Army doll and a pair of driving gloves used by a wagon driver from Barnsley to keep him warm when he slept.
Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.
Music box expert Stephen Kember and furniture restorer Will Kirk collaborate on the repair of a small musical table of great sentimental value to owner Jenny. As a young girl, Jenny鈥檚 family lived in Istanbul, and on their way back to the UK they stopped off in Italy and bought this treasured possession. Her mum passed away when Jenny was just 18 years old, and now she longs to unlock precious memories by once again hearing the table鈥檚 tune that has remained silent for over a decade.
Toy restorers Amanda Middleditch and Julie Tatchell keep calm and carry on as they revive a Land Army doll made by owner Vanessa鈥檚 mother, who served in the Women鈥檚 Land Army during the Second World War. The doll was so precious to Vanessa鈥檚 mother that no-one had permission to play with it. After the bear ladies' unique restoration, the history of her mother鈥檚 doll becomes clearer to a truly grateful Vanessa.
And leather expert Suzie Fletcher joins forces with embroidery specialist Sara Dennis to revive a pair of worn-out driving gloves used by a transport driver from Barnsley as he drove up and down the country and slept in his unheated cab.
