It is a shame that this series has now finished. It was something to look forward to each evening, even though it was not really radio related, it gave some encouragement to restorers in general. I always enjoy a television series that contains an "end product" or other series that contains an element of discovery (like exploring decommissioned railways that have a possibility for re-opening). Programmes like these are rare but are really educational. With regards to the programme "The Repair Shop", I think that throwing items away (just for the sake that they are either broken or obsolete) is a pretty poor excuse,especially when they originally cost a great deal of money to purchase.
