The Repair Shop: VE Day Special
VE Day Special
The team marks the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe by restoring four items with wartime stories behind them, including a very special timepiece belonging to 101-year old Royal Navy veteran John Holloway. Teddy bear specialists Julie and Amanda find themselves up against it when faced with a 90-year old plastic doll that accompanied three-year-old Jewish orphan Ruth on an extraordinary journey from wartime Austria to the safety of the UK.
The Repair Shop: VE Day Special airs on BBC One South West at 8:00 PM, Wednesday 7 May. (Subtitles, new.)
