In what I think is a first for the MissElaineous blog, MrElaineous and I have actually managed to produce joint content. Keep scrolling to read my ode to The Repair Shop or hit play to hear an original Jon Paget composition.
Just a warning, this is a long blog post and best paired with a cup of tea * or the beverage of your choice.
Back in 2017, BBC began airing a little television programme that has since become a big hit, with an average of 6.7 million viewers tuning in to watch experts fixing family heirlooms and precious items, from teddy bears and mantel clocks to model ships and pieces of furniture. MrElaineous and I are a bit late to the party; we just started watching The Repair Shop last year, but, since then, we have managed to work our way through the archive of nearly 200 episodes.
