Art conservator Lucia Scalisi brought a 1930s portrait by Japanese martial arts master Yukio Tani back to life, while upholsterer Sonnaz Nooranvary rebuilt a Victorian nursery chair. Finally, horologist Steve Fletcher and ceramicist Kirsten Ramsay joined forces to reconstruct an ornate porcelain clock.
Fans of the show were left disappointed when they noticed that the programme had been cut short by half an hour to make room for an episode of Panorama, titled Maternity Scandal: Fighting for the Truth.

One viewer took to Twitter, writing: "Agh #TheRepairShop cut in half again @BBCOne stop doing that," while another commented underneath: "I know. Fuming!"
A third fan tweeted: "I admit I was a bit miffed at first that #TheRepairShop was a half-hour long, but am very intrigued and delighted by tonight's #WeAreEngland," while another added: " @bbc Do we need to truncate The Repair Shop to 30 mins for Panorama - popular programming shafted!"
However, not all fans minded the shortened programme, with one person writing: "TV weekly highlight #TheRepairShop, it's only 30 minutes long but that will do."

Other fans noticed that the latest episode was a re-run from season three of the show, which originally aired in 2018. One person took to Twitter, writing: "Watching #TheRepairShop. It's like going back in time. Everyone is so young!" while another added: "Is this an old episode? It seems really different in style to the episodes recently."
