Series 5: Episode 40

Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.\n\nCassie and Sue Day from Swindon hope maestro Pete Woods can lend his musical ear and very specialist skills to a cherished brass trumpet that has lost its lustre. For decades this trumpet heralded the new year for Sue’s family as her father proudly played it while marching up and down the street. She dreams of resurrecting the family tradition, and Pete pulls out all the stops to make this dream come true. \n\nMetal expert Dominc Chinea is delighted to undertake the restoration of a much-loved childhood toy. Marilyn Rossell and her sister Margot, from Eastbourne, are proud owners of a 1950s metal Mobo roundabout. It was the envy of all the children on their street and provided hours of fun when they were little girls. It then went on to spin their own children, but all that fun has worn it out. The sisters would love to see their grandchildren play with it and hope Dom can bring it back from the brink.\n\nAn unusual piece of sporting history arrives for the attention of silversmith Brenton West and leather expert Suzie Fletcher. The decorative champion's belt was awarded to Gil Lee’s great-great-great-grandfather, who was something of a sporting celebrity. He won the Pedestrian Champion of England title in 1851 for speed walking, which was a popular spectator sport for Victorians. However, the belt no longer looks champion - the silver plaques are dull and damaged, and the fabric is failing.
