The Repair Shop
Season 4 Episode 16 of 30
Radio expert Mark Stuckey has a job on his hands, repairing a 1930s transistor radio brought into the Repair Shop by David Hill from Brecon. The radio was given to David's father by an army officer on the beaches at Dunkirk during the Second World War, and after being successfully shepherded through the bullets and the crashing waves to safety, it became the Hill family's pride and joy. However, the subsequent years have not been kind, with the vintage transistor battered and broken both inside and out. A battered leather gaming case and a grandfather clock with a poignant history are also given a new lease of life
The Repair Shop airs on Quest +1 at 12:00 AM, Saturday 2 November. (Subtitles.)
