Jay Blades and his team of expert craftspeople return with a new set of prime-time episodes of the cosy restoration show.

Then Chantal Taylor brings an Italian dressing table chair to the upholsterer Hannah Weston Smith; it reminds her of her departed parents and is in desperate need of restuffing. Ammar Kalia
