Greatest programme on tv today. Even with Jay sometimes missing the others fill in superbly.Shed a few tears myself over restored items , the musical wedding album that had smoke and water damage really brought on the waterworks.
I have an old wooden box that my great grandfather made out of shipping crates to carry the Watkins products he sold door to door in the early 1900's and my grandma was a little girl. We used the box as a toy box when I was little, 60 years ago. My mom gave it to the church and a friend painted it and put stickers on it so I don't know if it could be restored or not. I got it back so I could use it for my son's toys after he passed away in 2002. It's a tv stand now but the blue paint and Raggefy Ann and Andy stickers don't fit my living room and I don't know if I could afford a redo.
@robinsmith5442. That's a lovely story and I'm sure if you contacted the Repair Shop team they could restore it for you. I hope you try and I wish you luck with it 😊
A commentator in the MailOnline said that if these objects are so precious to their owners, then why have they allowed them to get in such a terrible state? (Generalising of course).
Typically because most people don’t have the ability or tools to repair them, besides that accidents happen and that exasperates he issue. A lot of the skills and knowledge to repair some of these specialized parts has sadly been lost to history and there are few masters of these crafts left.
Life happens. UK homes don't usually have AC so heat and humidity can affect wood and paintings. Leather cracks, Used furniture gets loose and the cushions get flat. Plush toys get well loved. Accidents, weather, floods, fires, smoking, just plain age takes their toll. It takes money and being able to find the right expert to work on things. Like who knows how to fix phonographs, music players, and type writers these days?
Ahhhh Watch Mojo can be really blind as to what us viewers want? Surely it goes without saying that on a top ten such as this one - we want to see the item restored?! Take no 2 for example - the narrator told us the boxes significance and even what repairs were needed but then didn't show us the box in all its glory fully restored! Sort it out for the future - such a rookie mistake!!
It's actually a bit more complex; the "reveals" and responses on shows like this are the clips that are smothered in copyright. The makers of The Repair Shop are more than happy for anyone to repost the "bring-ins" and the repair sequences because they prompt viewers to either subscribe to/buy full episodes or watch their own official monetised channel to see the complete stories.

Tears are falling . . .

@@ChorltonandtheWheelies I live in the middle of America, it might be a bit costly for me. 😊
@robinsmith5442. Ah I see the problem - Is there not a similar type of television programme in The States that you could apply for? 😊✌
@@ChorltonandtheWheelies I don't know of one and I don't have cable to look for them. I may try Google and see what comes up
Suzie is such a good soul. Her husband was an abusive jerk and didn’t deserve her, but her care and compassion for him is admirable.
I've seen many of these episodes, but not all. It might have been wise to show all of the completed items, so we could appreciate the work more.
..the girl that was adopted by a lady and had a great life made me cry think it was a chair

Or they require repair simply because of age and use

So unlike the Mail to be total arseholes! 🤔

It's a waste of time to watch this, watch the episodes instead. At you you get to see the finished piece and hear what the people say about it.
We didn't get to see the reaction of the man on the thumbnail.
Click bait crap.
