“The Repair Shop” crew hits the road, bringing their restoration magic to a variety of treasured objects. This week, Steve Fletcher tackles a challenge of epic proportions: Manchester Town Hall’s enormous clock. Will his horological skills be up to the task, or will time stand still?
Meanwhile, Will Kirk heads to Oldham on a mission to retrieve a vintage fruit machine with a hefty dose of sentimental value. This isn’t just any old one-armed bandit – it’s a piece of family history. The pressure is on for ‘Pinball’ Geoff to work his magic and get the machine spitting out (virtual) cherries once again. And in a quieter corner of the workshop, Will Kirk gets a lesson in traditional globe-making from Jonathan Wright. Because who doesn’t need a handcrafted globe?
From grand civic clocks to nostalgic arcade games, this episode of “The Repair Shop on the Road” celebrates the art of restoration and the stories behind the objects we cherish. Catch it on BBC One at 4:30 PM on Monday.
