Jay and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. Musical instrument restorer Pete is pleased to meet Chris Bassett from Hertfordshire. Chris has brought in his very first musical instrument, which is desperate for some specialist attention. A gift from his parents to help him recuperate after a childhood accident, this cornet made a huge impact on his life and shaped his future. It sparked a love for music, performing and inspiring others. The silver-plated cornet is dented, tarnished and seized up. It has not been played for over 50 years, but Pete feels sure he can nurse it back to full voice again and grant Chris's wish to play it in memory of his wonderful parents. Next into the barn are Simon and Elaine Johnston, with a memento from Simon's childhood that sparks a multitude of lovely memories. Expert Steve remembers a similar item from his own childhood and gets to work reconditioning the rusted paraffin lamp. Simon and his siblings grew up playing cards with their parents by the light of this lamp and feels those moments taught him of the importance of family time. He would love his own children to share that experience and hear its familiar hiss as it burns bright. Finally, music box restorer Steve and silversmith Brenton greet Lynnie McGirr and are charmed by her elaborate silver music box, with a tiny feather bird that should pop up and sing along. The music box transfixed Lynnie and her then-young children from the moment they saw it. However, after an unfortunate accident many years ago, the musical mechanism no longer works, the box has lost its lustre and the little bird refuses to perform. Lynnie would love her new granddaughter to be mesmerised, just as she was.

Jay and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. Janice Monty and her daughter Nicole from Merseyside are first to arrive, with a pair of tap shoes. These crushed and cracked treasures were recently unearthed in a garage, and the ladies are hoping that cobbler Dean can breathe new life into them. The white leather shoes belonged to Janice's mother-in-law, Rita, who was an accomplished professional dancer in her heyday. She performed in music halls and palladiums all over the UK, dancing in chorus lines and touring with the big names of the day, but the years in the garage have taken their toll on her well-worn shoes. Dean jumps at the chance to preserve these precious, fragile items for the family to cherish for many years to come. Silversmith Brenton is ready and waiting for Diane Vaughan, who delivers her late grandmother's silver purse. It was a wedding present from her fiancé, Diane's grandfather, and she carried it up the aisle on their special day in 1929. The ornate clasped purse is cherished by the family, as it is a symbol of a long and loving marriage of a much-missed couple. But it is now dented and tarnished, and the hinges and clasp are broken. Brenton knows these items are notoriously difficult to repair, but with Susie's help on the leather lining, he is confident he can return it resplendent. And Beverley Swain visits the barn with an item that conjures up wonderful memories of her late father. She is keen for the master of all things mechanical, Steve, to see if he can get a magician's table back to its old tricks.

Jay and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. The first visitor to the barn is Matthew Bowland from Leeds. He has brought in a wooden statue of a dapper gentleman for the attention of organ restorer David. Inside the figure are miniature bellows that, when wound up, should give this fellow a whistle. It belonged to Matthew's beloved grandparents and signifies many happy memories of them. A young Matthew was fascinated by the whistling man and would always ask his grandad to wind him up so they could listen to his cheery tune. Unfortunately, the jammed mechanism and missing key means David must do some major problem solving to fulfil Matthew's ong-held wish to hear the whistling man once again. Mechanical whizz Steve and silversmith Brenton join forces to repair a photographer's timer. It belonged to Gillian Hoy's much-missed father, who was a passionate amateur photographer. The device is used when developing images in a dark room, and Gillian was in charge of setting it when she helped her father as a little girl. Sadly, it is no longer fit for purpose - rusty, dented and unable to keep time reliably. Gillian has big plans to get it back up and running so her daughter, who has followed in her grandfather's footsteps, can use it in her dark room. And Will, who works wonders with wood, takes on a little carved owl that houses an inkwell. Phin Hall received it as a childhood gift from his grandad, but it came a cropper when an overzealous 12-year-old Phin knocked it over, spilling the ink and damaging the owl's head. The stained owl was hidden in a box in the attic for over 30 years. Phin, who writes for a living, would love to get his feathered friend in fine fettle again.

Jay and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. First through the barn doors is a small, wooden child's chair gifted to a boy with cystic fibrosis.

Jay and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. First to arrive at the barn, seeking the help of conservator Kirsten, are Cyndy and Jack Lessing from Essex. They have brought a ceremonial glass goblet, known as a Kiddush cup, which their family used every Friday evening to welcome the Sabbath. Cyndy and Jack bought the ornate, hand-decorated glass over 30 years ago, as a bar mitzvah gift for their son. Kirsten just hopes they have salvaged every single fragile shard. Nicole How is next to arrive, with an important piece of London's history for the attention of leather expert Susie. The leather bobbin hat is over 100 years old and was worn by Nicole's grandfather during his 43-year career as a porter at Billingsgate Fish Market. He would balance boxes of fish on top of the weighted hat, but now it is dirty and the leather is very tough. Susie is delighted to hear about the charismatic gentleman who owned it and is determined to preserve this wonderful link to a bygone era. Last, but not least, wood restorer Will welcomes a wooden push-along horse called Toby. He is accompanied by his proud owner Marjorie Ennew, whose talented grandfather made it for her when she was a toddler. Toby is dearly loved by Marjorie, but she would love Will to fix him up so that he can continue to charm her family. He has lost the handle that pushes him along, his mane is long gone, and he is very chipped in places. Will, of course, is more than happy to oblige.

Jay and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. First to arrive at the barn are Judith Holliman and her son James. They have brought a stuffed owl called Wol. Judith clearly remembers him peeking out of her Christmas stocking when she was just a few years old He was a gift from her beloved grandmother, who helped to raise her, and Wol is constant reminder of her grandmother's love. But he could really do with the expert care of bear ladies Amanda and Julie. Musical maestro David welcomes Kathryn Freeman from Hertfordshire. He is excited to get his healing hands on her family's miniature piano, which is now in a sorry state. Kathryn grew up with five older sisters, and this pint-sized piano provided hours of entertainment for them all. However, it is now far from tuneful. Several hammers and tone bars are missing, numerous keys are broken, and the exterior is faded and chipped. And Moonis Alam from London comes to see horologist Steve, in the hope that Steve can bring his family's wall clock back to life again. The clock bears a scar that tells a compelling tale of war and a rather narrow escape during the Bangladeshi liberation in the early 1970s. Moonis would love to hear it tick and chime once again.

Jay and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. First through the barn doors is Sue Lock, with her daughter Hannah. They have brought Sue's grandmother's leather midwifery bag. They fear the battered old bag is a hopeless case, but Suzie believes she can nurse it back to life. Sue's grandmother worked selflessly for decades as a midwife, delivering hundreds of babies during air raids and in the early years for the NHS. Next, art conservator Lucia has the pleasure meeting Alice Bird from Devon, who has brought in one of her late father's artworks. Robin Rae was a prolific artist and was still painting into his nineties. The piece, which is entitled The Storyteller, was painted when Robin was just 21 years of age. Alice was gifted the painting when she was a similar age. However, it incurred extensive damage when it was transported to France, much to Alice's despair. The day's final visitors are mother and daughter Cheryl and Dawn Sandford. They have come to meet jeweller Richard, carrying a precious family keepsake that belonged to Cheryl's beloved nan. The gold brooch holds a picture and a lock of hair from her favourite brother, Billy, whose life was lost serving in the First World War.

This has left poor Sue wracked with guilt about the accidental damage. She is desperate to see it restored and gleaming once more. Next to arrive is Sarah Lindsay from Scotland, who is hoping Dominic's expertise in metals can salvage an unusual family relic: an old cast-iron post box. Sarah's family have long links to the post office. The family call the post box after her grandfather Angus, known as Gus. He was in the Royal Mail for over 40 years, and the post box was a retirement gift. But over 40 years of exposure to Scottish weather has taken its toll. Philip Birkenstein from Buckinghamshire has brought in a precious keepsake that symbolises his family's wartime experience of the 1930s and 40s - and it needs Suzie's leatherwork expertise. Phillip's parents grew up in Germany and experienced the worst of the Nazi regime before managing to escape to England. When they fled, they left all their possessions behind, arriving with very little. Phillip's item is a leather folder; intricately detailed, as it is one of the only items his parents were able to salvage from their family home in Germany. Suzie has a tricky challenge on her hands, as reviving the perished leather folder is slow progress and fiddly work. However, she is determined to do justice to this important piece of Phillip's family history.

Jay and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. The first visitor to the barn is Emma Patinson, with a much-loved childhood toy.

The puppet was a present from Emma's dad, who very sadly passed away not long after gifting the toy to his daughter. The puppet has had some bumps and bruises along the way. Emma longs to see him as he once was, and Amanda and Julie are only too happy to help. Next, camera restorer Brenton and leather expert Suzie welcome art student Eloise Badger to the workshop. Eloise has brought in her late great-grandmother's camera. Sadly, it hasn't been used for over 60 years and has seized shut, and its leather bag has also seen better days. This 90-year-old heirloom has been reverently cared for by the family since it was bought in 1932. Treasured by Eloise's great-grandmother, who was a keen photographer, it has now been passed down to Eloise. She is studying fine art and has inherited her great grandmother's passion for photography. Lastly, clockmaker Steve is faced with an unusual timepiece: a Congreve rolling ball clock owned by Huw David from Burnley. Huw's grandfather Oswald cleverly made the clock during the 1980s. It is powered by a metal ball rolling down a slanted table. But unfortunately these types of clocks are notoriously bad at keeping time. Sadly, Oswald developed dementia and never got a chance to perfect the running of the clock. Steve has a challenge on his hands to get this clock running to time, but with patience, ingenuity and a delicate touch, he coaxes it back to its former glory.

It's been used as a money pot mainly and has captivated each family member.

Mechanical marvel Steve welcomes Ben Chaffe to the workshop with his late grandfather's barometer. Ben spent holidays as a child at his grandparents' house on the Dorset coast, and every morning the barometer was consulted before each day's activities were planned. Its predictions were taken very seriously, and young Ben was very impressed with its accuracy. The barometer was left to him when his dear grandfather died, for which he felt honoured. Steve needs patience, know-how and a bit of good fortune to get this gadget going. Lastly, stained-glass craftsman Matt and blacksmith Dom join forces to work on a decorative window panel with a remarkable story. Johnathan Shonfeld is the proud owner of the one-hundred-year-old stained glass panel, which sat above his grandparents' front door in North London.

And silversmith and football fan Brenton West is honoured to be working on an important trophy. It was presented to Anthony Kennedy's father, Paddy, who played for Manchester United in the 1953 FA Youth Cup final.

She borrowed the money to pay for two chairs and a sofa in the 1980s, and at the time felt very extravagant. The three-piece design classic has brought Gloria and her extended family years of comfort and joy, but sadly the armchair is now looking very down at heel. The leather is dry, faded and cracked. There are several holes exposing the upholstery sponge beneath, much of the distinctive button detailing is detached, and many of the brass tacks are missing. Sonnaz has a major renovation on her hands to get this iconic piece back to its former glory. Next, silversmith Brenton West welcomes Joanne Piper-Bourn with her one-of-a-kind brass keepsake box. The ornate item was made by Joanne's grandfather for her grandmother and has been passed down the family, each recipient treasuring it. However, it is now looking a little worse for wear. The wooden structure is riddled with woodworm holes, the decorative brass panels are tarnished, and several details are missing. The painted sections are chipped, and the trim is detaching. Fortunately, Joanne has bestowed it to the capable hands of Brenton, who is only too happy to get to work on it. And a precious piece of silver jewellery is delivered by Paul Cass and his son Pete to jeweller Richard Talman. The engraved chain-link bracelet was an engagement gift for Paul from his beloved late wife Cherry and represents their love. The bracelet was lost and damaged so much that it can no longer be worn.
