The Repair Shop

S06:E43 - Sit-on Roundabout, Singing Teddy, Truce Dominos

Today in the Repair Shop, Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.First up, metal expert Dominic Chinea faces the heavy-duty task of repairing a seized up retro roundabout that reminds its owner Stella of her three daughters' childhoods. Sadly, Stella's middle daughter Emma died in 2016, leaving two young children behind. Dom's tasked with the tough task of getting the old roundabout revived and revolving once again, in time for Stella and her grandchildren's return to the barn.Wood expert Will is amazed when a WW1 dominoes set, thought to have been played in the Christmas Truce of 1914, arrives at the barn. Owner Ben believes the dominoes played a part in this symbolic moment of peace in an otherwise violent war between Britain and Germany.And toy restorers Julie and Amanda join forces with mechanical maestro Steve Fletcher to fix a broken teddy bear that was gifted to an abandoned girl from Hong Kong when she arrived in the UK to meet her adoptive family for the first time.
