The Repair Shop

[Tortuga]

The Repair Shop is a British television show that was recently made available on the Discovery channel.

 

I love the show. The shop repairs old family heirlooms for free and it's amazing to see the reaction when people pick up their memories...

 

I really enjoy the show.

Great suggestion, I will check it out 

I think for us Down Under,  it streams on Foxtel - Lifestyle channel.

We have been enjoying it also.

We love it. WE feel we are getting to know the specialist repairers quite well and also learning so much about how to fix up different things rather than just throw them away or put up with them broken.

 

Jay Blades, the host of the show is dyslexic and never learned to read at school and has just done a program about his latest struggles to learn to read as a man in his 50s.

 

Fascinating insight into a skill that most of us take for granted when we learned to read as little children, when our brains were more flexible and not afraid of making loads of mistakes at first.
