Having watched and mainly enjoyed all the programmes so far, I must say that the title "The Repair Shop" is a bit of a misnomer. Most items featured to date have been substantial restorations, rather than repairs. We aren't told how many hours were spent on each item either, which I think is a major omission.

The fact that these cherished objects have lain unrepaired until now probably indicates that the owners were reluctant to pay the going rate for professional repair expertise, so the prospect of being on the telly and getting a free repair into the bargain must have been appealing!
