The Repair Shop premise
The Repair Shop sees members of the public bring in their sentimental items, often with a special and unique backstory behind them, to be restored to their former glory by experts.
There is a piece of history in every episode so far in this series.
In episode one, Tom from Ilkley brings in his grandmother Audrey's running shoes which she wore when she competed in 4x100m relay in front of Hitler at the 1936 Berlin Olympics and won a silver medal. Proud Tom wants to display the shoes, which are unfortunately looking a little flat, but hopes that cobbler Dean Westmoreland can restore them to their running glory.
Other emotion-packed items that are in need of rescuing are a donkey and teddy who served as comfort toys to two young boys, a broken engagement ring, and a picture of a South African hero.
Is there a trailer?
BBC1 has not released a trailer for the new series of The Repair Shop.
