The experts revive three cherished family heirlooms, restoring wonderful memories.\n\nWheeling a rusty yet trusty child’s bike into the barn are newlyweds James and Victoria, hoping expert Tim Gunn can revive the fortunes of this troubled two-wheeler. James and Victoria are very attached to this unassuming bike as it was James’s childhood mode of transport, which he used to visit Victoria at the Cornish campsite where they first met. Every summer, Victoria and her family stayed at the campsite on James’s parents’ farm. The childhood friends met again by chance as adults 18 years later, quickly fell in love and recently married. The bike, complete with cobwebs and rust, was on display at their wedding reception. Now the couple feel it’s high time it was given a major makeover, with a view to their nieces riding it, and possibly their own children one day. Tim is only too happy to help, and with Dom taking on the rusty paintwork, he addresses the many years of dirt and two very flat tyres.\n\nVerity is next to arrive, with her father David and a soft pink toy in need of the attention of Amanda Middleditch and Julie Tatchell. Verity lives with a condition called hydrocephalus, which has meant many operations and hospital visits from a young age. It was during one of these hospital stays, over 30 years ago, that she spotted the toy monkey in the playroom, and from that day forth they have been inseparable. She thinks of him as a lucky mascot, and although he is no longer in the flush of youth, she loves him dearly. A lifetime of cuddles has worn him out, and his face, which has been repaired several times by Verity’s mum, is not what it was. The teddy bear ladies set to work to return the monkey to his glory days.\n\nKirsten Ramsay is the last to receive her assignment, an oriental lamp cherished by owner Kate. The lamp base, depicting a Chinese scene in blue and white, belonged to Kate’s parents. When Kate was a little girl, she inadvertently smashed it to smithereens while practising her skipping skills in the living room. Although her parents glued it back together and continued to display it, it has never been the same. Several sections of the illustration are missing, and the unsightly cracks are extensive. It’s a puzzle for Kirsten to bring the shine back to this much-loved lamp.
