Steve and the show's resident teddy bear repairers Amanda Middleditch and Julie Tatchell welcomed visitor Sue Gent into the barn along with a pancake-flipping toy dog, who was given to her by her parents when she was a child.
Sue explained to the experts that she has fond memories of playing with the dog with her brother Andrew, who sadly died when he was 26 years old. She added that she wanted to get the toy fixed in the hopes of triggering happy memories for her dad, who suffers with Alzheimer's.
Steve got to work on restoring the motor before handing over to Amanda and Julie, who revamped the toy's tired look.
