Today in The Repair Shop, Jay Blades and the team welcome a collection of precious but time-worn treasures, each carrying powerful memories and remarkable stories.
First into the barn is a globe-trotting 1960s Moulton bicycle, brought in by sisters Sue and Kath. The bike travelled the world with their family as children, symbolizing freedom, adventure, and a unique upbringing across several continents. Vintage bike restorer Tim Gunn sets out to restore it sympathetically, preserving its history while making it rideable once again.

Next, leather expert Suzie Fletcher takes on a badly water-damaged medical case belonging to Claire’s great aunt Belinda Nesbet — a trailblazing female surgeon in the 1930s. As Suzie carefully reshapes and strengthens the century-old leather, the case becomes a powerful tribute to four generations of doctors and a pioneering woman ahead of her time.

Meanwhile, optics specialist Richard Biggs is faced with a monster challenge: repairing a tiny pair of binoculars once used by legendary Loch Ness investigator Tim Dinsdale. Passed down to his son Simon, the binoculars played a key role in the most famous footage of Nessie ever captured. With chipped prisms, seized focus, and missing parts, Richard must work at microscopic scale to bring them back into action.
As always, expert craftsmanship, patience, and care combine to restore not just treasured objects — but the memories, emotions, and stories they hold.
