The Repair Shop

We just discovered this show on Netflix and are greatly enjoying it! I join the other voices that say that I wish there were more actual restoration shown. I know the human/background piece is important, but it could easily take more of a back seat to the work. I don't mind Jay, but I'd like to see his work, too. We will watch straight through and then maybe watch some of them again.

My wife and I recently found this show on Netflix. We really love it. We love the interaction of the different restorers, and especially like Jay, Steve, Kirsten and Will. We love how they try to ensure that different objects are restored, showing the expertise of each Restorer. We love the "reveal' as each object is returned to the owner. Several times tears have been shed as the owners get back their item in first-class restored condition. What a great program. Wish something like this was on in the US, but thankful we can now watch as many programs at a time as we like. Thanks for a great idea and expert craftsmen/restorers to do the job right. I think the Weald and Downland Museum would be a great place to visit.

I can watch these all day long.

If I had to find a negative, they are not long enough. I could watch the amazing workmanship (and workwomanship) for hours on end. Maybe we could have an extended online version?

Someone mentioned costs on here.

Materials = Peanuts

Experts = Worth every penny

The look on peoples face = Priceless

Considering the success of many History Channel pickers, pawn stars and museum shows, I hope Netflix continues their support of The Repair Shop. All that is missing is failures (you know there are always failures), bloopers and personal sussex museum features regarding the location.

I am able to watch this in the States as I have live feed UKTV. It's a lovely example of the best of human potential and interaction, which contrasts profoundly to a news cycle which strives to do the opposite. This should be be picked up and broadcast in America; it would be adored.
