Not aired on scheduled date of March 23 2021 due to "Coronavirus Update: BBC News Special".
Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.
Paper conservator Louise Drover rescues a water-damaged pastel portrait of a young couple. Owner Simon cherishes the portrait of him and his late wife Vicky, captured whilst on holiday in their youth. It is a delicate task for Louise as she uses more moisture to tackle the stubborn water stain.
Mechanical maestro Steve Fletcher takes receipt of a 1950s toy rocket that once had sparks. It was gifted to owner Marcus by his grandfather, who told him to be very careful with it. But a decision to take it to school ended in disaster, with the rocket overwound and broken. Now Marcus and his son James would love to see the sparks flying from the ruined rocket once again.
And leather expert Suzie Fletcher is delighted to work on a cherished purse that has become a good luck charm for owner Jennie. It is now battered and crumbling and held together with elasticated hairbands, so Suzie needs all the luck she can muster to get it back to its original state.
