The Repair Shop on the Road

An anonymous journal from Captain Cook's first voyage resurfaces in Whitby. Can Chris ensure scholars have access to save the stories the Admiralty never wanted told? In east London, Will joins upholsterer Ray to fix an inspirational chair. It once belonged to Trevor Baylis, the eccentric genius who battled the Aids epidemic with the power of his wind-up radio. Later, Dom feels the pressure when he tries his hand at traditional woodblock printing.

Dom and Steve head to Cornwall to resurrect a dead cat, star of an iconic exhibit at the Eden Project, hoping to put a new lease of life into a mechanical marvel that's already run more than one and a half million times. Will tackles the woodworm that has ravaged a traditional Welsh love spoon, carved by a father passionate about keeping a traditional craft alive, and Dom tries to keep dry in a coracle, a boat made of reeds, as he goes basket-weaving in East Sussex.

In Kent, Dom and Henry restore a century-old railway pump trolley, while luthier Julyan helps siblings honour their late father by repairing his cherished guitar. In West Sussex, Sonnaz crafts a ring, using the intricate Japanese metalwork technique of mokume gane.

Dom and Will hit the road to Buckinghamshire on another restoration adventure. At Bletchley Park, Will helps revive a historic Hollerith card-punching machine that powered WWII code breaking, while back at the barn, Rich restores Jackie's cherished floral brooch. Along the way, Will learns the centuries-old craft of wig making.
