Episode 2 of 40

The team takes on a toy dog, badly burned in a house fire, a retro kitchen mixer from the 60s and a belt buckle which belonged to a hard-working nurse.

Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.

Toy restorers Amanda and Julie have their work cut out reviving a sad dog that has been badly burned in a devastating house fire. The toy has been by owner Jody’s side throughout her life, and when she saw her house being engulfed by flames, it was one of the first things on her mind. Now Jody would like her beloved toy to be restored so she can pass it on to her young son Noah.

Metal expert Dominic Chinea and bright spark Mark Stuckey join forces to fix a retro kitchen mixer that provided the beating heart of a family kitchen. This now-rusty machine belonged to a much-loved mum and pastry chef, Ada. Now daughter Becky and daughter-in-law Alison are hoping to revive it in memory of Ada. It is a tough task, but when the experts whip up a treat for the ladies’ return, it really is the icing on the cake!

And silversmith Brenton works his magic on a nurse’s belt buckle. Owner Trevor’s mother Rosemary was given the buckle by her father when she embarked on her nursing career in the 1950s. After dedicating her life to the NHS, Rosemary sadly died shortly after retirement. Now, Trevor’s teenage daughter Olivia is hoping to follow her nan into the nursing profession, and he wants to pass the treasured item on to her.
