TREASURED MEMORIES

The Repair Shop, 8pm, BBC1

JAY BLADES and the team help to restore a pine kitchen table that reminds 12-yearold Jacob of his father, who died suddenly six years ago. Jacob (pictured with his grandmother Heather) still feels his dad’s presence when he sits at it, so wood restorer Will Kirk goes to great lengths to make the warped and split surface fit for purpose without losing any of the original material. Plus, a mother and son deliver a pair of enormous clown shoes to the barn — they belonged to a family funnyman who worked in a car factory by day and clowned around by night, and they present an unusual challenge for master cobbler Dean Westmoreland.
