A once-beautiful mid-century coffee table has been part of owner Graham's life for 60 years. The item belonged to his parents and took pride of place in their living room. Wood restoration expert Will uses all his knowledge to bring this unique wooden object back to life. It's collaboration time for clockmaker Steven Fletcher and our toy duo Amanda Middleditch and Julie Tatchell when a wind-up panda dating from the 1960s is brought to the barn. It is the first toy owner Gill remembers having and was a gift from her late father, who died two weeks before her sixth birthday aged just 52. After providing 50 years of comfort to Gill, panda is looking worse for wear. An unusual and ingenious contraption arrives for the attention of metal worker Dominic Chinea. It is a coconut scraper and was the creation of Dudley's father, who migrated with his family to the UK from India in 1958. Dudley and his brothers have fond memories of helping their mother make a Goan treat called Kulkuls.
