How is Fixing Britain different to The Repair Shop?
Like, The Repair shop the spin-off series will feature the comforting and often emotional moments that come with members of the public restoring some of their most prized possessions to their original state.
However, The Repair Shop: Fixing Britain will dig a little deeper into restorations at Britain’s most famous workshop. It will explore the untold stories of ordinary people, as we learn how these objects shaped our past and influenced the way we live our lives today.
A journey through the history of the heirlooms will cover everything from espionage and World War One to immigration and mid-century modern design, as each episode explores a different theme.
The series will also offer audiences the opportunity to find out a little more about the experts they’ve come to know and love.
Rob Butterfield, Director of Programmes at Ricochet, said: “The whole team is incredibly proud of The Repair Shop and it’s always wonderful to see family heirlooms restored to their former glory by our team of craftsmen and women. The Repair Shop: Fixing Britain celebrates the stories of ordinary people rather than the historical tales of Kings and Queens so it’s been an absolute joy to share those with viewers.”
