What will feature on The Repair Shop at Christmas 2022?

The Repair Shop At Christmas 2022 will be a 59-minute episode featuring all its regular stars and experts. A synopsis reveals what fans can expect: "Adding a touch of pizazz to a 1960s home bar, which once formed the cornerstone of family Christmas parties for a newly arrived Caribbean family, are woodwork wizard Will Kirk and restoration royalty Dominic Chinea.

"Expert duo Steve Fletcher and Kirsten Ramsay face their own festive challenge in the form of a bent and bedraggled Christmas tree that’s been at the heart of family festivities for over 100 years." The episode will also see Mark Stuckey work on an old film projector and Pete Woods will fix an old trombone.
