Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.

Gramophone guru Tim Weeks takes on the repair of an antique wooden phonograph, brought in by Nicola Dean, whose father was an avid collector of phonographs and gramophones. This particular model – an Edison Opera Phonograph – was his prized possession and the centre-piece of his collection. However, it suffered badly in a collision with a group of overenthusiastic small children, and the distinctive wooden horn has become separated from the main body of the item.

Upholsterer Sonnaz Nooranvary is faced with an unusual challenge - an armchair with a colourful rug stitched into the fabric. Much loved by three generations, the chair survived its trip from pre-war Nazi Germany but has become battered and faded over time. It takes help of fine art conservator Lucia Scalisi to unravel the mystery of the colourful rug’s provenance.

Steve Fletcher takes on a battered old miner’s lamp, which once saved the life of its owner, Hubert John, when he was caught in an underground roof fall at the Hook Colliery in Pembrokeshire. Hubert’s granddaughter Rita is hopeful that Steve can get the lamp burning brightly once more. And metal guru Dom Chinea teams up with stained glass craftsman Matt Nickels for the repair of another lamp - this time a large glass affair which stood proudly for decades outside a family chemist’s shop.
