_DESCRIPTION_:
Enter a workshop filled with expert craftspeople, bringing loved pieces of family history and the memories they hold back to life. A heartwarming antidote to throwaway culture.
Season 8 - Episode 2
So episode 1 should have been aired on April 14th 2021, but the BBC in their usual manner have skipped it and I assume it will be aired after the rest of season 8, but who knows when it comes to the BBC and their ridiculous rescheduling of this program !!
Jay Blades and the team bring four treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.
Painting conservator Lucia Scalisi welcomes a historic portrait of Charles II into the barn. Owner Liz remembers it hanging in her grandparents' dining room when she was a child. Now her son Dylan is fascinated by its history, so they are hoping it can be brought back to life. It's a fascinating fix for Lucia: as she removes layers of dirt, it becomes clear just how old the portrait really is.
Goldsmith Richard Talman faces the delicate task of reuniting the broken pieces of an engagement ring that symbolises two grandparents’ deep love. Owner Michelle’s grandmother Muriel was engaged to another man when she first locked eyes with Wilfred in a pub. She called off her engagement, and the pair went on to have a long and happy marriage. Michelle wants to honour their love story by having the romantic ring restored.
Born in Zanzibar, Mahbuba fled to the UK as a child due to the revolution, with no time to bring any possessions with her. Years later, she stumbled across an ornate wooden chest in a market in Oman, evoking strong memories of the childhood she left behind. Silversmith Brenton West and wood expert Will Kirk join forces to bring this lavishly embellished family heirloom back to its former glory.
And soft toy specialists Amanda and Julie are entrusted with a very special donkey that acted as a comfort blanket to a young boy who lost his mother, and later became a source of comfort for his twin sister when tragedy struck again.
