00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,680
Welcome to The Repair Shop,
2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,800
where cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life...
3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:09,280
Anything can happen. This is the workshop of dreams.
4
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,440
..home to furniture restorer Jay Blades.
5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:14,880
Nowadays, things are not built to last,
6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:17,080
so we've become part of this throwaway culture.
7
00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:20,160
It's all about preserving and restoring.
8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,360
We bring the old back to new.
9
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,120
Working alongside Jay
10
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,840
will be some of the country's leading craftspeople...
11
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:28,800
I like making things with my hands.
12
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,240
I love to see how things work and I want to know how things work.
13
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,680
Whether it's a Rembrandt or somebody's family piece,
14
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,000
every painting deserves the same.
15
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:41,160
..each bringing their own unique set of skills.
16
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:43,400
You're about to witness some magic.
17
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,560
They will resurrect, revive...
18
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,160
Oh, yes!
19
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:51,240
..and rejuvenate treasured possessions
20
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,120
and irreplaceable pieces of family history...
21
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,480
Oh, my goodness me! It looks like it's new!
22
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,160
..bringing both the objects...
23
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,440
- SHE GASPS
- Oh, wow!
24
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,400
..and the memories that they hold back to life.
25
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,680
Oh, thank you. Oh!
26
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,280
In the Repair Shop today,
27
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,320
clockmaker Steve Fletcher feels the pressure,
28
00:01:20,320 --> 00:01:23,400
as he gets to grips with a broken barometer.
29
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,040
This is the bit that I haven't been looking forward to.
30
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,600
When the glass breaks - if it does - it's a complete and utter disaster.
31
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,800
While furniture restorer Will Kirk
32
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,560
is entrusted with a pair of oars that could have a hidden past.
33
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,640
Is it going away or is it staying? To me, it looks like it's...
34
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:43,280
Hold on. You want to not rub too hard.
35
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,440
First in today is Rachael Dickens,
36
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,560
whose item has already been received
37
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,960
by Jay and electronics expert Geoff Harvey.
38
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,440
- Hello, how are we doing? You all right?
- I'm Geoff.
39
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,760
- Very nice to meet you.
- Hi, Geoff.
- Hi, there.
- This must be yours then.
40
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:04,920
- Yes, it is.
- It's a pinball machine. OK. It's in bits then.
41
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:09,040
Yes, so this bit's come off, but it's all there.
42
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,480
I don't know if it can be repaired, but it would be great if it could.
43
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,680
- OK.
- I got it in a junk shop in Margate.
- OK.
44
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,080
And I got it from a guy who said he'd bought loads from Dreamland.
45
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,880
- So, Dreamland, remind me.
- It's a big sort of arcade in Margate.
- OK.
46
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,680
So, I spent a lot of time in Margate on the arcades,
47
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,320
- when I should have been doing my A levels!
- OK.
48
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,240
So, it does have a big nostalgic quality for me.
49
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,600
- Did you pass the A levels?
- I did. Only just!
50
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,480
- So, that's all right, isn't it?
- Yeah.
51
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,440
Until now, Rachael from Herne Bay had managed to find an unusual use
52
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,680
for her poorly pinball machine.
53
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:52,520
So, here's my lovely pinball machine, now part of my kitchen.
54
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,600
It's really good as part of the kitchen, with this glass on top.
55
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,000
It's a nice cool surface, good for making pastry on, actually.
56
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,960
It works really well and I love having it here,
57
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,200
but the opportunity to get it fixed
58
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,280
is one I'd happily take the kitchen apart.
59
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,000
It's such a beautiful thing, it really should be restored.
60
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,200
I feel bad that it's sitting here, not working.
61
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:21,520
- How much did you pay for it?
- I paid £150 for it, yeah.
- Yeah.
62
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,440
- So, it wasn't very much.
- No.
63
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,160
But it just so happened my mum, who died last June,
64
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,520
had given me some money before she died in March,
65
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,480
and I was out shopping for stuff and I was meant to be buying,
66
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,200
- you know, sensible things.
- Yeah.
- So, I saw the pinball machine
67
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,200
and thought, "Well, I'm allowed to have it
68
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,400
"because Mum's given me this extra money,"
69
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,960
so, yeah, that's how I got to get it.
70
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,400
So, it's precious for me, from that point of view.
71
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,520
So, what do you reckon? Can you fix this?
72
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,800
I'll have to have a little look at its innards.
73
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,320
- Put my glasses on, makes me look more intelligent.
- Why not?
74
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,440
- Do you mind if I do a little operation?
- No.
75
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,240
- A little surgery, just to have a quick look.
- Yes.
- And inside...
- Ooh.
76
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,320
- It all lifts up, you see.
- Oh, wow!
77
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:05,920
Dusty and dirty. It looks all there to my professional eye.
78
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,920
- So, it's a good one?
- I like all this, in the shape of a...
79
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,800
- Do they light up?
- They light up
80
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,120
and go out as you hit them, your strikes.
81
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,120
So, the main thing is, can it be fixed?
82
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,600
A bit like Frankenstein's monster, once I've plugged in the electrics,
83
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,880
- we can see.
- Oh, I can't wait. I hope you can do it.
84
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,400
I hope so as well, actually.
85
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,480
- I tell you what, if you leave it with us...
- OK, brilliant.
86
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,520
- We'll get back to you.
- Cheers, thank you.
- Thank you.
87
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,000
- Very lovely to meet you and hope to see you soon. Bye-bye.
- Bye.
88
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,480
Pinball machines, in general, are just a beautiful, classic,
89
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,280
iconic piece of our seaside history
90
00:04:38,280 --> 00:04:40,680
and I don't want it to be made brand-new,
91
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,280
like I don't want new repro bits and pieces.
92
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:45,840
I'd rather keep it as original as possible.
93
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:49,960
But, yeah, I'm feeling a little bit nervous, but mostly excited.
94
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,240
Geoff, what's the key thing you've got to do to get this running?
95
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,560
Initially, basically, plug it in, get the back box all plugged in,
96
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:59,840
- put it in the mains and see what goes.
- Yeah.
97
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:03,080
- Then we can see how ill the patient is.
- OK.
- All right.
98
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,600
First step, sort the legs out as well, but, yeah...
99
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,680
- What, the legs from wobbling like that?
- Well, it's got the wrong...
100
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,960
So, they've cut them down a bit to make it flat,
101
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,680
cos it was being used as a table,
102
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,080
- so I need to put new legs and reseat all these, where they fit.
- Ah, yeah.
103
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,120
That will make it look more like a pinball machine, so...
104
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,080
- OK, so we've got to get this over to your bench then.
- Yes, please.
105
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,040
- Come on then.
- Are you feeling strong?
- It's not that heavy, is it?
106
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,000
- It's not too bad.
- It's not too bad!
- It's character-building.
107
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,920
Let's have a... Oh, that's not too bad.
108
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,400
All looks there. Reasonably clean and tidy, a bit dusty.
109
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,960
But the thing I am worried about is this motor here,
110
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,680
which look a little bit burnt-out.
111
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,480
That's the only thing that would be difficult
112
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,480
cos that's the heart of the machine. It does all the controlling.
113
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,640
Geoff's first task is to install new legs,
114
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,600
which need to be longer at one end of the machine.
115
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,520
This will create a tilt,
116
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,520
which is needed for the ball to naturally roll towards the player.
117
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,960
Rachael had it flat, as a piece of furniture.
118
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,760
This is how God intended it, if God was going to make a pinball machine.
119
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,960
Hopefully, this darling will live to play again. I very much hope so.
120
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,000
From treasured toys in need of emergency surgery
121
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,680
to ceramics that have seen better days,
122
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,560
our experts in the Repair Shop are determined
123
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,920
to put the pieces back together.
124
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,560
Next to arrive is Ash Phelps from East Sussex,
125
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,760
with a much-loved family heirloom.
126
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,240
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- How are you?
- Very good, how are you?
127
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,480
- I'm good, thank you.
- What have we got here then?
128
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,880
We've got a barometer in here.
129
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,200
He's hoping horologist Steve Fletcher will be able
130
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,240
to turn his hand to this antique weather instrument.
131
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,520
So, I inherited this from my grandparents.
132
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,800
It's the one item I've got that really symbolises them
133
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,880
and the relationship I had with them.
134
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,840
But for as long as myself and my mum remember,
135
00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:09,240
- it's not been working. See, it always points to "Changeable".
- Yeah.
136
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,640
Which I guess isn't far from the truth in the UK.
137
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,000
- Maybe it IS working, I don't know, but...
- Yeah!
138
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,400
- Steve, this is one for you.
- Yeah.
- What do you reckon?
139
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,560
I think it's sort of 1920s, '30s.
140
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,840
More often than not, the mechanism is just seized up,
141
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:26,560
so that's completely seized up,
142
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,040
so if that's anything like the mechanism,
143
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,360
maybe that is the reason why it's stopped.
144
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:36,280
Leave it with me and I will do my best to get it working.
145
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,560
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
- Take care.
146
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,200
'Even though it hasn't been working all these years,'
147
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,240
it's still a really important piece for me.
148
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:44,920
I was very close to my grandparents
149
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,600
and it's nice to have that to remember them by.
150
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,840
- Have you worked on one before?
- Yeah, loads of times.
151
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,840
- There you go. I trust you. It's all you then.
- OK.
- See you in a bit.
152
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,240
Early barometers from the 18th century
153
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,240
were symbols of affluence
154
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,080
and must-have items for the aristocracy.
155
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,760
Aneroid barometers, like Ash's, were invented in 1840.
156
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,200
They used a series of springs, chains and dials
157
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,920
attached to a vacuum and were a cheaper and safer alternative
158
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:20,920
to their predecessors that had used expensive and highly toxic mercury.
159
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,280
Everything looks as if it's working. It's not seized up.
160
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,160
I've got to check and see whether the movement is working
161
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:28,920
under pressure or not.
162
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:30,560
And Steve has a low-tech trick
163
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:34,640
to test whether it's the barometer's actual mechanism that's faulty.
164
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,040
I've put it into this bag so that I can force some pressure
165
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,080
onto the mechanism and see whether there's any movement in the hand.
166
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,520
What I'm actually doing is replicating
167
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,640
an increase in atmospheric pressure.
168
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,000
You can see there is some movement there if I put some pressure on.
169
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,720
It still doesn't explain
170
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,680
exactly why the hand has stayed still for decades.
171
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,640
Even though the mechanism seems to be working,
172
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,800
fastidious Steve is going to strip it down
173
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,840
and clean it thoroughly, just to make sure.
174
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,640
More difficult is going to be getting the setting nut moving.
175
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,640
This is really, really seized up and that worries me to death,
176
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:14,880
moving that, because they just break,
177
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,480
and that happens all the time.
178
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,440
At the Repair Shop,
179
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,480
the team has the tools and the talent
180
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:27,680
to deal with any restoration challenge,
181
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:32,800
no matter how big, how small, how old or how new.
182
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,000
Geoff's task today is to revive a retro gaming machine,
183
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,240
but sometimes, even a pinball wizard needs a helping hand.
184
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,080
- Will, just the man I want to see.
- How can I help?
185
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,280
- It's your woodworking skills I'd appreciate, actually.
- Ah, my skills.
186
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,320
- Your skills, which I know you have and I definitely haven't.
- Right.
187
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,400
Basically, the back box sits on top of here,
188
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,760
but when they turned it into a piece of furniture,
189
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,800
they removed a little wooden plinth which it sits on.
190
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:02,600
So, basically, I'm after a simple wooden construction around here.
191
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:06,440
- I'll make a deal with you.
- Yeah.
- Deal is, if I make that for you...
192
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,880
- Yeah.
- ..I am the first person to play on this when it's fixed.
193
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,640
I'll have to have some test games on it to see if it works,
194
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,080
- but you can have the first proper game.
- I mean in the workshop,
195
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,160
cos I know Jay loves getting in there.
196
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,680
I'm going to avoid him. He's not allowed to go near it.
197
00:10:19,680 --> 00:10:22,000
- I have first go.
- You'll have the first proper game.
198
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:27,800
Really helpful he's doing that.
199
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,080
Nice sense of comradeship here, which is good.
200
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,200
That's nice. There we go, like that. Oh, that's gorgeous!
201
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,040
- Oh, that's absolutely mwah!
- Yeah?
- Beautiful!
202
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:44,880
That's the most beautiful thing I've seen
203
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,000
- since I looked in the mirror this morning.
- Ah!
204
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,400
- Done.
- You are a genius, officially, thank you. Brilliant.
205
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,680
- Right, I'll see you for that first round.
- Yeah, absolutely. Before Jay.
206
00:10:57,680 --> 00:10:59,560
- Beautiful.
- Jay's not allowed on.
207
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,200
I suppose my fascination with all things pinball since I was 13,
208
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,840
and it's become something's that part of my life
209
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,880
and something that is both something practical and real
210
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,000
and there's nothing like a first game
211
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,400
on a machine that hasn't worked for years.
212
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,320
It's actually incredibly exciting.
213
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,440
Even after 50 years, I still love it.
214
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,840
So, I'm going to plug this in. It might go bang, it might not.
215
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,560
Who knows what will happen?
216
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,000
Right, power and a plug.
217
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:38,400
Ooh, that's good. Motor works. Ah, beautiful. That is very good news.
218
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,080
I'm a happy little bunny.
219
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,680
MOTOR WHIRRS
220
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:44,480
That sounds cool. So, it's good, it's working then?
221
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,960
- It's on its way to working. It's...
- On its way? Look, it's got lights!
222
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,880
What does it need to happen now?
223
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,920
Lots of making things work properly,
224
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,040
- cos all we've got is that there's power, the motor works.
- Yeah.
225
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,360
Then start stripping it all down to make it look beautiful
226
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:59,920
- and play well.
- I'll leave you alone.
- Thank you very much.
227
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:02,960
- All right, no problem.
- Let's see what happens.
228
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,880
MACHINE WHIRRS AND CLICKS
229
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,120
Oh, there are some problems which will take a bit of sorting out.
230
00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,040
Somewhere something's wrong.
231
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:18,680
Unfortunately, the discovery of a power failure has no quick fix,
232
00:12:18,680 --> 00:12:21,720
and with the machine teeming with wires and connections,
233
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:23,360
it could leave Geoff
234
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,840
- with up to a mile's worth of cabling to check.
- Hmm...
235
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,080
The Repair Shop experts are accustomed to receiving objects
236
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:36,520
in all sorts of wonderful shapes and sizes.
237
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,400
The next is no exception,
238
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,120
and it's accompanied by Caroline Frances and her daughter Jo.
239
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:48,840
Wow, now, that is nice! So, what's the history behind all of this?
240
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:53,760
- My dad, Mum's husband, was a rower.
- Yes.
- That's him - J Nicholl.
241
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,400
He rowed for Queens' College, Cambridge,
242
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,240
and he was in the college first boat. It was the first time ever
243
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,640
- that Queens' College had won the Marlow Regatta.
- OK.
244
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,520
Afterwards, they're presented with these oars
245
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,080
- and we've had them ever since, haven't we?
- Yes.
246
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,600
So, where's your husband now? Where's Dad now?
247
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,080
- Well, unfortunately, he was ill and he died when he was 48.
- 48?
248
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,520
So, how old was he when he was in these races then?
249
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,600
Well, university age.
250
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,240
But the really interesting thing about the fact he was a rower
251
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,960
- is that he was disabled.
- He was disabled?
- Yeah.
252
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,960
They found that he'd got a kind of muscular atrophy,
253
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,160
- so his hands were slightly clenched, like that.
- Closed.
254
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,280
- Yeah.
- Couldn't straighten his fingers out himself.
- OK.
255
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,520
- But he could do the rowing.
- So, he was in an able-bodied boat?
- Yes.
256
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,480
- Yeah, he was a normal rower.
- That's an achievement, isn't it?
- Yeah.
257
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,640
- It was wonderful for him that he could do the rowing.
- Yeah.
258
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,920
What can we do for you with regards to restoring them?
259
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,760
- Cos, obviously, that's the part of history that you do not want...
- No.
260
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:58,760
- No, not that.
- You don't want that touched at all.
261
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:04,160
- We're about to take some sandpaper.
- You can see from the shafts...
262
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,000
I don't know if you call them that on oars. I don't know what this is
263
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,440
that's on here, but that's obviously aged quite a lot.
264
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,680
- WILL:
- It's almost as if something's dripped on there
265
00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:13,600
and something's reacted at some point.
266
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,240
- Then, as you turn the oars over, on the back of the blades.
- OK, yeah.
267
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,400
We can definitely get rid of the peeling
268
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,520
and looks like contaminated polish,
269
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,640
- but definitely not touch anything on here.
- No.
270
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,640
But what I will do is do something with the other side of the blade.
271
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,200
- The back of it.
- Definitely, yeah.
272
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,640
- CAROLINE:
- It will be lovely to be able to pass them on
273
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,920
in good condition to the grandchildren.
274
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,880
And they'll be like they were when they were presented to my dad
275
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,040
- in the first place.
- Right. So, if you leave these with us, OK?
- Yep.
276
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,640
- Yes.
- OK.
- Brilliant. Thank you very much. Thank you.
277
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,360
We've always been really proud of my dad,
278
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,080
knowing that he did this great thing when he was younger.
279
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:51,600
They are him, really, for us.
280
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,720
That's our main thing we've got of him that's carried on with us
281
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,400
through the years and it'll carry on for grandchildren as well.
282
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,800
So, out of all the things that have come in,
283
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:05,360
this one's got strict instructions not to touch that end.
284
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,960
- Not to touch that end.
- Simply because that's part of history.
285
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,080
- Yeah, exactly.
- Apart from the backside of it.
286
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,360
- You can touch the back, but not the front.
- Not even look at the front.
287
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,240
- Let's not even look at the front.
- No, you can't look at the front.
288
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,320
It's just this bit and then you've got to turn it over and that's it.
289
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,840
- I'll take this one.
- You leave me to take everything.
290
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,160
That's correct, but this is a bit of history,
291
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:25,640
so I'm going to help you out here.
292
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,480
- All right, you take that, I'll take this one.
- OK.
293
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,920
Look at that! It's longer than the bench.
294
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,720
Before Will embarks on the oars' refurbishment,
295
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,880
he makes a closer inspection.
296
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:42,280
I'm just having an overall look at the oars.
297
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,760
I can see how the varnish and the polish on the surface
298
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,120
has reacted with something at some point.
299
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,120
If you don't clean the surface off before you polish it,
300
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,520
you can have all sorts of problems with reactions and everything else,
301
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,240
so I think that is what's happened here.
302
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:58,960
There are areas like here, where...
303
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,680
You can't really see it too well right now,
304
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,120
but I presume that's maybe a maker's mark,
305
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,720
so I wouldn't want to lose any of that detail.
306
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,200
Across the Repair Shop, Pinball Geoff has almost finished.
307
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:18,280
So, what you going to do now?
308
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,440
- You going to change all of this or is it...?
- No, just give it a clean.
309
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,760
Everything comes off, a nice big polish,
310
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,800
and just the deluxe edition will be I've put flashing lights
311
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,480
in the title strip as well, like they used to do in the '70s.
312
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,840
The owner, Rachael, had purchased the rundown machine
313
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,360
with money gifted from her mother, who died last year.
314
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,800
Having been relegated to a surface for rolling pastry,
315
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,920
it's now close to springing back to life.
316
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,000
- So, once you've got it all up and running...
- Mm.
317
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,520
- I know I've got to get a go on this, haven't I?
- At some point.
318
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,040
- At some point?
- Well...
- Who's on first then? You?
319
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,000
- Oh, that is a secret.
- It's you, isn't it?
320
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:54,600
I'll be doing some test games,
321
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,560
- but the first public performance has already been promised.
- To who?
322
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,320
- Ooh, I'll have to kill you if I told you.
- Oh, is it? All right.
323
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,760
- Have you finally finished?
- Yeah.
- Right.
324
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,000
There we go. There was a bit of a ding, wasn't it?
325
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,800
- Oh!
- Oh, I forgot to use the other one.
326
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,680
I thought it was one button for both... OK, wait, OK. Hold on.
327
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:33,800
- All right?
- Oh, always having to compare to me!
328
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,320
What? Oh, shocking! Shocking!
329
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,000
Shocking! Ooh, ooh. Way!
330
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,400
- Right through the machine.
- ALL: Oh!
331
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,720
At least I got 200. Is it working then? That's the main thing.
332
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,880
Yeah, absolutely. A few little tweaks but, yeah, absolutely.
333
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,600
And given how it arrived, luck has been on my side.
334
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,680
And also, the machine sort of responded well to treatment.
335
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,240
Not all patients do, but I can't wait to see her set up
336
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,000
in the family home and not being used as a kitchen table.
337
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,200
- THEY LAUGH
- Well done, Geoff.
338
00:18:07,120 --> 00:18:10,280
Having successfully powered up the pinball machine,
339
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,480
it's time for Geoff to return it to Rachael's kitchen,
340
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,760
where it will no longer be limited to pastry duties.
341
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,680
- Hello, Rachael, how are you?
- Hiya. How nice to see you again.
342
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,240
- Lovely to see you too.
- Hi.
- Take a look.
343
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,760
You pull that blanket and I'll pull this one. One, two, three.
344
00:18:30,120 --> 00:18:33,760
Wow! The colour's come out so much better.
345
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,600
- It's never had lights on before.
- It looks lovely.
- It looks gorgeous.
346
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,840
And I've put proper flashing lights in it,
347
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,680
as it would have had in the '70s, which I had some left, luckily.
348
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,720
- It looks wonderful!
- And if you press the magic button...
349
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,840
THE MACHINE'S SOUND EFFECTS BEGIN
350
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,320
Oh, wow! Oh, wow!
351
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,840
- SHE LAUGHS
- Hey.
352
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,360
The sounds when I first played it, really nostalgic,
353
00:18:56,360 --> 00:18:59,920
really reminded me of arcades when I was a kid and it was beautiful.
354
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:02,520
It's a beautiful, beautiful thing, and he's done such a good job.
355
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:04,400
It looks amazing. I love it!
356
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,440
I don't know what to say, Geoff. I'm so pleased. Thank you so much!
357
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,560
I really didn't know that it was going to come back
358
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,360
so beautiful, as it has. It's really, really nice.
359
00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:15,040
It's really quite moving, actually.
360
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,040
I'm really pleased with the way it came out.
361
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,880
- It's lovely, yeah. It's a lovely machine.
- Are you a bit emotional?
362
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,120
I know. I love pinball machines, I really do!
363
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:26,000
I'm surprised at how moved I am, really,
364
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,160
but it's the last thing that my mum gave me, this pinball machine.
365
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,440
It's lovely, and I'll always remember. And it's such a fun thing.
366
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,760
She would have loved it. It's beautiful.
367
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:49,000
Back in the Repair Shop, Will is starting to cautiously clean
368
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,760
a test area on the 70-year-old Cambridge oars.
369
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,800
Awfully quiet. That must mean you're concentrating quite a lot.
370
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,560
Yeah, I was just trying to clean out my ears, Jay.
371
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,120
- Well done.
- Filthy ears, mate.
- THEY LAUGH
372
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:08,080
- How are you getting on?
- Not too bad. I have cleaned this patch here.
373
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,480
Come on!
374
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:13,120
That's the original surface, but not right back down to the wood.
375
00:20:13,120 --> 00:20:16,200
- OK, right.
- I don't know if you can see the writing here.
376
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,800
- I think that writing is on top of the wood.
- But isn't this quite...?
377
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,040
It's quite dangerous, in a way,
378
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:24,360
if you go to clean it and it all comes off.
379
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:28,280
So, I've cleaned that with a cotton wool bud and some meths.
380
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,680
I'm going to do the same thing really lightly
381
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:35,040
- on maybe the letter "G"...
- Yeah.
- ..and see if that cleans up well.
382
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,960
- Go on then, let's stop talking about it and see you do it.
- What?
383
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,000
- With you watching me?
- Yeah, course, man!
384
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,080
- I'm going to put the pressure on you.
- So...letter "G".
385
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,520
- Yes, please.
- OK.
- Go on, go on!
386
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,720
Is it going away or is staying? To me, it looks like it's...
387
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:58,840
Hold on. You want to not rub too hard.
388
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:03,160
That's staying, that's staying. Phew! That's staying!
389
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,720
- Now we can breathe, eh?
- Yeah.
- We're all done.
390
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:10,080
So, this stuff here what's crackling up, it's not on top of that.
391
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,000
- This cracking stuff is right at the top.
- Yeah.
392
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,960
So, I think I can take this off, like I just did there.
393
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,480
You're not going to do that with a cotton bud though, are you?
394
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:21,800
- No, no, no.
- Come on, man.
- I'd be there for months!
395
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,600
I'd probably use some soft wire wool, really soft steel wool.
396
00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:25,840
- Take all that off.
- Yeah.
397
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,640
They've got a lot of history, haven't they?
398
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,920
A lot of history and a lot of cleaning.
399
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,640
MUSIC: Intro to Rule Britannia
400
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,080
Caroline's husband was presented with these prized oars
401
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,000
for his exceptional record in the Eights Challenge Cup
402
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,360
at Marlow Regatta in 1948 and 1950.
403
00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:47,800
The fact that he was diagnosed with a muscle-wasting illness,
404
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:49,840
affecting both his legs and arms,
405
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,880
makes his achievements even more remarkable.
406
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,320
Woo-hoo! That looks good, doesn't it? What's all this then?
407
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,360
So much more information. What have we got here?
408
00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:06,040
- "1938".
- Yeah, the 1938 Henley Regatta.
409
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:09,640
- Oh!
- So, there's actually more history to these...
- Yeah, there is.
410
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,360
..than just the races that...
411
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:14,600
- Well, you've unearthed more history just by cleaning it.
- There you go.
412
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,120
What else have you got to do now? What's next?
413
00:22:17,120 --> 00:22:21,120
I think the best thing to do would be remove any loose pieces of paint
414
00:22:21,120 --> 00:22:24,280
- on the back of this blade.
- Because that is still flaking off.
415
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,960
Cos you keep touching it.
416
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,000
Stop touching it and it won't carry on flaking off!
417
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,560
They're going to touch it! It's their oar, their blade!
418
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:33,120
- They're going to touch it.
- OK. Stop touching it.
419
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:35,640
You're going to make sure it doesn't peel off. Cos look at it.
420
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,280
It's just been turned over, look at all these bits coming off.
421
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,840
- We've only been here two minutes.
- Because you keep touching it.
422
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,480
How about you stop touching it and I'll start painting it?
423
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,080
- All right. I'll leave you to it.
- Thanks, Jay.
424
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,800
I'm just trying to mix up the paint by eye.
425
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:57,360
So, I think the colour I'm going for is sort of a British racing green,
426
00:22:57,360 --> 00:22:59,480
sort of like a frog green.
427
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,320
I think it's just a case of making it a tiny bit lighter.
428
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,360
Then I should have that frog, racing car green I need.
429
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,240
So far, so good.
430
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,000
In the fight against disposable culture,
431
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,520
the Repair Shop experts are using their skills
432
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,040
to breathe new life into the nation's neglected possessions...
433
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,800
..and for Steve, it's make and hopefully not break
434
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,680
for the barometer that was left to owner Ash
435
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,960
by his loving grandparents.
436
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,600
This hand has not worked for years.
437
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,400
This is the bit that I haven't been looking forward to,
438
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:47,000
just in case it goes terribly wrong and the glass breaks.
439
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,760
And if it does, it's a complete and utter disaster.
440
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:54,680
- How we doing, Steve?
- I hope I can release this OK.
441
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,040
Ooh, I thought there would be a screw on the back.
442
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,920
No, no, it's just riveted over there.
443
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:04,800
So, basically, trying to get that out, you might break the glass.
444
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,720
You don't like to say it, but I know you might break the glass, isn't it?
445
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,920
There is an outside possibility. Keep my fingers crossed.
446
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,440
- I'm sure you will.
- I will do, I will do.
- Thank you.
447
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,520
Let's have a go.
448
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:21,800
Put a bit more force in.
449
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,600
It is really, really stuck, very, very fast.
450
00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:31,880
I'm actually just going to put a little bit of oil on there.
451
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,480
Oh, it is moving.
452
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,640
Oh, thank goodness for that! That's easing up beautifully.
453
00:24:45,120 --> 00:24:47,040
So, problem solved.
454
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,240
Good. Very, very happy.
455
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,160
With the hand loosened and the mechanism checked,
456
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,840
Steve can now reassemble the barometer,
457
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,720
just in time for Ash's return.
458
00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,280
- Nice to see you again, Steve.
- You too.
- How are you?
- How are you?
459
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,160
- I'm good, thank you.
- Looking forward to seeing the barometer?
460
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,560
- Very, very excited. It's all I've been thinking about.
- Really?
461
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,680
Yeah, really excited to see what you've done to it.
462
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,200
- There we go.
- Oh, wow, fantastic!
463
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,440
The mechanism, I took out, I cleaned it through,
464
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:19,160
gave it a good service, and that wasn't causing it to not work.
465
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:21,760
- Right.
- What actually was causing the problem
466
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:27,200
- was that the dial was tight against the hand.
- OK.
467
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,920
- So, I've released that and it's working fine.
- Fantastic.
468
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:35,000
Knowing it's working again,
469
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,880
I'm overjoyed to have seen it working. Amazing!
470
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,840
My grandparents would be very proud of this, so I'm sure,
471
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,640
- if they were here today, they'd say thanks as well.
- Ah, bless.
472
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,000
Thank you. You've done a fantastic job.
473
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,560
It is like having a piece of them there at all times.
474
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,200
Every time I see it, it reminds me of them and the good times I had,
475
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:58,440
so to have it now, on the wall and working, it's going to be great.
476
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,200
Having meticulously hand-painted the back of the oar blades
477
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,400
with his very own bespoke frog green,
478
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:13,280
Will has just enough time to add the finishing touches.
479
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,840
- I think you've surpassed yourself, actually, son.
- Really?
- Well done.
480
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,240
No, you have surpassed yourself on this one.
481
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,800
Shipshape and Repair Shop fashion,
482
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,480
the oars are ready to be returned to Jo and Caroline.
483
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,280
- Hello, how are we doing?
- Fine, thank you. Very excited!
- Hi.
484
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,640
- WILL:
- You had a serious look on your face when you walked in, thinking,
485
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,800
- "My oars better be underneath there."
- Hi.
- Nice to see you again.
486
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:46,480
- Ah!
- Oh!
487
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:49,840
- Oh, that's lovely.
- Beautiful!
488
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:55,600
- That's how I remember them from when I was younger.
- WILL:
- Really?
489
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:57,920
- Yeah.
- Beautiful.
490
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,960
- Yeah, spot the difference.
- Really lovely.
- Yeah.
491
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,920
- WILL:
- As I was cleaning...
- CAROLINE:
- Oh, wording.
492
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,680
- WILL:
- You can see everything that's been written here.
- Oh, wow!
493
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,440
So, we've got the Henley Regatta, 1938, on there.
494
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,240
That's lovely and it's wonderful that it's come up clearly
495
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,840
- and you can actually read it now.
- WILL:
- Exactly.
496
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,920
- CAROLINE:
- It's really good.
- WILL:
- I'm pleased that you're pleased.
497
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:22,120
So, what are you going to do with these now?
498
00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:24,680
They'll be up on the wall for everybody to look at
499
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,000
- and actually really cherish.
- So, we best get these wrapped up,
500
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,680
- cos you can't put them on your pushbike, can you?
- Not really, no.
501
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,680
- No.
- We'll get them shipped over to you.
- Lovely, thank you.
- Thank you.
502
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,120
Really nice to meet you.
503
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:36,880
Thank you for everything you've done.
504
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,800
When they were uncovered, it really brought back to me
505
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,440
how important they had been to my husband
506
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,440
and how important my husband had been to me.
507
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:51,520
And it's just wonderful to see these brought back to their former glory.
508
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,720
It just makes me feel really excited that we can take them back home,
509
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,240
put them up on display and they're like they were
510
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,960
when I was younger and when my dad was alive.
511
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:04,440
You was worried about this one really, weren't you?
512
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,520
I think, out of nearly all of the jobs that I've worked on here,
513
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,560
I was really worried about this.
514
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,840
Risk losing the writing underneath,
515
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,880
all of the races and everything else.
516
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,960
- Well done.
- Cheers, mate.
- All right.
517
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,120
There will be more incredible transformations
518
00:28:21,120 --> 00:28:24,480
at the hands of our experts next time in The Repair Shop,
519
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,080
