Episode 23
The team restores a wooden toy yacht that belonged to a much-missed brother, a pre-NHS midwifery bag and a mechanical toy bear that pours and drinks milk.
Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.
Wood expert Will Kirk is entrusted with a precious toy yacht that holds bittersweet memories for its owner John. The yacht brings back fond memories of playing with his younger brother Michael who died suddenly from meningitis at the age of 14. Now John would love to see it restored to reconnect him to the brother he still sorely misses.
Leather expert Suzie Fletcher is tasked with reviving a midwifery bag originally owned by Wendy’s grandmother throughout the 1920s and ‘30s. Used before the birth of the NHS, the bag represents a pioneering woman who pursued her career in order to provide for her young family.
And mechanical maestro Steve Fletcher joins forces with the Bear Ladies, Julie and Amanda, to spruce up and revive a broken toy teddy that reminds owner Gerry of the mother she lost when she was just a child.
