repair shop abc tv program
Program on abc called repair shop can have some interesting moments.
Bloke was doing some silver chasing just now, I'd never seen that before, and there are old clocks and clockwork toys and steam toys being fixed on some previous programs. This is in between fluffy teddy bears and old hats and antique desks being restored.

Ripper show that one.
Got to be impressed with the silver chasing.
I'd never seen that before.

Got it all shame they moved it to the new time slot of 5.15pm but 5 nights a week, has us both sitting down with a cuppa to watch it.
Shame it's really only highlights of what gets done, still damn good show.
The old fellow who did the gramaphone repair not as fastidious as the rest if the crafts people, he only does whats needed very little or no major clean up.

I'm usually finishing up cooking tea so TV time works for me but don't forget there's iview. which is how SWMBO watches it, Its one of very few TV programs SWMBO and I are both interested in, for me its about the only one I'm currently interested in.

Bob you are a good bloke making dinner.
I agree very little on TV atm.
I'd like to see someone hand over cash for the work done especially Kirstan the pottery restorer. Or the clock or cabinet fellow. Jay Blades needs to remove the broom a lot.
Iview only holds them for a few days week tops pity. The show is also on earlier in the day, repeat.

I do the grocery shopping, most of the washing, and most of the day to day cooking because I want to control what is cooked to help keep blood sugars under control.
I service the robot vac and empty the rubbish bins
SWMBO does all the other cleaning.
SWMBO is a very good cook abut only cooks specialities (ie cakes etc which I don' t eat) and the odd meal only after I give her the run down of what's available.
The deal is whoever cooks, the other person has to clean up, but that means unpacking the dishwasher and repacking it.
Usually SWMBO leaves the dishes by the side of the sink and I end up unpacking and restacking the dishwasher next morning.
I bring the dry clothes in from the line and put away the small numbers of my clothes and most day to day linen.
SWMO's clothes pile up until we run out of laundry baskets and then I keep piling them on top until they fall onto the floor. Then SWMBO folds say one or two baskets worth of her stuff and we then repeat the cycle.
I mow the handkerchief lawns once in a blue moon (the dogs do a good job of keeping the back lawn down to a few tufts of grass in the winter), the heavy pruning, and SWMBO does all the other gardening.

Well I was left red faced after my comment re about not being able to repair something! A mechanism stuffed beyond repair.

I have been watching this show for a while, some good segments on metalworking. Does anyone know who pays for the repairs?
Rgds,

Who pays ?
explained here https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2...ctually-exist/
Although it might be expensive for you and I to pay for the time of some of these skilled people, in the budget of a TV show the hourly rates might be affordable - probably a lot cheaper than paying for a heap of actors to pretend to like/hate/fight/kill and generally interact with eachother in a soapy/drama/action show.
This link explains how you have to apply to get your wrecked item accepted onto the show.

I did a bit of googling and found:
Each of the artisans are "real" people who are independent of the group.
However idea of the "repair shop" is a BBC construct.
In reality there is no shop but each of the restorers work independently of the others in their own independent business.
The repairers come together for the purpose of making the show.
Basically the shop is a BBC set. Having said that, I am in awe of the skills of some of these individuals.
