Jay Blades and the team resuscitate three cherished family heirlooms, reviving the memories attached.\n\nFirst to appear at the barn are Paul O’Neil and his daughter Victoria from Cambridgeshire. They’re hoping musical instrument expert Pete Woods can get a family heirloom sounding sweet once again. The silver tenor saxophone belonged to Paul’s mum, Veronica O’Neil, who was a professional sax player. She travelled the world performing in the 1930s and 1940s and was held in high regard within the music industry. However, it’s not just the sax that is treasured by Paul and his family, but also its weathered leather case. Paul’s mother and father did much of their courting sat on the case as they prepared to wave goodbye at train stations. Victoria is also a sax player and dreams of playing her grandmother’s pride and joy - that’s if Pete can bring the tarnished, dented treasure back to life. He calls on the expertise of leather expert Suzie Fletcher to restore the case, and together they work miracles.\n\nStained glass specialist Matt Nickels is pleased to meet Anne and Bob Bright, who have brought in a badly damaged panel that depicts the Blackpool Tower in beautiful coloured glass. It is over six feet high, one of a pair of items originally owned by Anne’s ‘grandpop’, who loved Blackpool and dancing with Anne’s grandmother in the Tower Ballroom. The unique stained-glass panels were custom-made in the 1950s, but since then they have been in the wars. First, they were damaged during a break-in at Pop’s house, and then again decades later, while being stored for safekeeping in Anne and Bob’s garage. Bob accidentally reversed over one of the panels, with devastating results. Matt must reconstruct large sections of the missing design, sourcing new coloured glass and leading large areas in order to return it to Anne and Bob, who are keen to display it proudly as a reminder of Pop and his dancing days.\n\nAnd music box maestro Steve Kember comes to the rescue when Tina Brine arrives with her late mother’s music box, which is in the shape of a little wooden piano. It sat on her mother’s dressing table for as long as Tina can remember. She was fascinated by it as a child and was left the little piano when her mother passed away. However, it no longer plays, and the grand piano in which the mechanism is housed is broken and scratched. Tina would love to hear it play again and share its charm with her daughter.
