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.)
