Organ builder David Burville takes on the repair of a vintage harmonium, brought into the Repair Shop by Marian Stanley. Marian鈥檚 family come from Stepney in London鈥檚 East End, and she has many fond memories of the harmonium and the festive gatherings for which it provided the soundtrack, with family members of different generations all taking their turn at the keyboard. However, the harmonium is now over a hundred years old and hasn鈥檛 played a tune in decades. With leaky bellows, broken reeds and cracked and chipped casing, David has a massive job on his hands to get it playing again.

Ceramics conservator Kirsten Ramsay also faces a daunting challenge in the shape of a ceramic dish that was smashed to bits 25 years
ago by then-13-year-old Karen Barnett. The dish was Karen鈥檚 father Richard鈥檚 pride and joy, and Karen has lived with the guilt ever since.

And Jay leads the repair of a hand-crafted doll鈥檚 house with a touching story behind it. As a young girl, on her daily walk to school with her grandfather, Debbie White would pass the same black and white house every morning. Debbie loved the house so much that her grandfather promised her that one day she would have it. And the following Christmas, there it was under the tree in miniature form, handmade
by her grandfather. Debbie has treasured the doll鈥檚 house ever since, but now rickety and in danger of collapsing, it takes the combined efforts of
Jay, furniture restorer Will Kirk and art conservator Lucia Scalisi to return the beloved toy to its former splendour.
