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

First to arrive is Eleanor Grundell from Leeds. She has her hopes pinned on master goldsmith Richard Talman saving two rings with huge meaning. The engagement and eternity rings were the beautiful possessions of her grandma Edna, whom Eleanor sadly never met but heard so much about from her late father. Eleanor views these rings as a vital link to those beloved family members and intends to wear them, should she get married one day. However, the rings in their current condition are too fragile to wear, with missing precious stones and misshapen beyond belief.

The barn鈥檚 next visitors are Richard and Kath Bond, along with Dobbin the geriatric pantomime horse, much to the glee of soft toy restorers Amanda Middleditch and Julie Tatchell. Richard, Kath and Dobbin are all members of their local amateur dramatic club and have been since the 1960s. Dobbin even made a cameo appearance at their wedding ceremony. Although Kath has tried unsuccessfully to repair his various issues, he is falling apart and in no fit state to tread the boards.

And stringed instrument expert Julyan Wallis takes on a much-loved dreadnought guitar in a diabolical condition. Owner Walter Renton played professionally in various bands in his heyday and wooed his wife with love songs played on this very instrument. His daughter Ann is immensely proud of him and not just for his musical talent. Recently Walter has been very poorly but is now well on the road to recovery. Being able to play his old guitar, that he bought over 50 years ago, would give him and his loving family hope for the future.
