First into the barn are Alex and his seven-year-old son Flynn with an appointment to see Amanda Middleditch and Julie Tatchell. They’ve brought along a cherished stuffed toy lamb that’s in dire need of a makeover. The toy was given to Alex when he was just four months old and, after a lifetime of being cuddled, lost an eye and an ear, and is now less squishy than they’d like. Alex was in and out of hospital as a child, and the cuddly toy accompanied him on every visit. Now, Alex has handed the bedraggled lamb to Flynn to help him conquer his fear of the dark. The Bear Ladies get to work to give the lamb the superhero transformation he deserves, much to the delight of both father and son.

Next is a foodie fix for metal expert Dominic Chinea. Alejandro has brought a gadget that’s kept his family fed for generations. He’s inherited his great-grandmother’s breadcrumb maker, which is over 100 years old. It once had pride of place in her kitchen in Montevideo in Uruguay, where it was in constant use. The gadget reminds Alejandro of his two great-aunts who he remembers fondly as ‘the breadcrumb stars’. The pair taught him how to use the breadcrumb maker and create the perfect consistency for each meal. Years of use means the machine has now ground to a halt, but Alejandro is keen to use it once again. Dom enlists the help of Brenton West, and together, they get the gadget back in action.

Finally, Mark Stuckey needs to get to grips with a vintage radiogram that’s been seized up and silent for years. It's owner, Sue, accompanied by grandson Zayn, remembers her late father tapping his toe to records by artists including Glenn Miller and Frank Sinatra. Although the retro machine stalled years ago, Sue could never bear to part with it. Zayn has never even heard it play, but a lifetime of being influenced by his grandmother’s musical tastes means he’s desperate to have it back up and playing once more.
