DRAMA THE REPAIR SHOP

8PM, BBC1 ★★★★★

Celebrating craftsmanship, as well as preserving memories and family histories, this show always delivers. Tonight, follow the emotional restoration of a military bugle, see spit and polish applied to a pair of leather children’s shoes that are more than 75 years old, and watch the painstaking repair of a model of Big Ben made entirely of matchsticks. The final project sees electronics whizz Mark Stuckey getting a Russian-built portable radio singing again. Pictured:
