Today in the Repair Shop, Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life. Resident clock expert Steve restores an 18th-century wall clock that is a much-loved heirloom from the owner's grandfather. It hasn't ticked for five years - will Steve get the clock to work again? Caner Rachael restores a beautiful wicker cradle that has been in use for generations. With a new addition to the family on the way the owner hopes to be able to pass this on to her grandchild and keep the heirloom alive. Meanwhile, Brenton fixes a much-loved powder compact, made in the shape of a piano. Toy restorers Julie and Amanda add the finishing touch with a new, hand-sewn pink powder puff.
