One of the nation's favourite and most heartwarming shows, The Repair Shop, is on screens tonight (June 1) for a special episode.
To mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee the show is hosting a Jubilee Special which will see some historic items repaired by the experts.
Jay Blade will lead the team as four treasure heirlooms with royal connections are brought back to life.
One of the four items includes a brass lantern that has been used for over a century by beefeaters for the ceremonial locking up of the Tower of London which will be repaired by Steve Fletcher.
Plus, team Julie Tatchell and Amanda Middleditch have the unusual task of finishing decorating a Pearly King's suit that has hundreds of mother of pearly buttons.
Steeping back into history, Kirsten Ramsay is working hard to fix a cracked decorative plate that was used to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee.
And last but not least, Tim Gun will be hard at work restoring a rusty hand-built tandem that was used by a pair of sweethearts who used the bike during the Jubilee tour of France in 1977.
Recently one expert on The Repair Show, Nicki Chapman spoke to BBC Radio Two and shared the one thing that makes all the experts nervous.
She said: "All of the experts get nervous in the sense that, people bring in an item that sometimes has never left their family and they are entrusting us to look after it.
"Each expert looks after that item and they are the only ones that are allowed to touch it. That is the cardinal rule in The Repair Shop. It's my repair, it's my responsibility, I need to be able to look after it, unless they are doing a collaboration."
How to watch The Repair Shope Jubilee Special:
