    The team repair a microscope that once belonged to a pioneeringscientist and is now in the hands of a keen youngster wishingto use it once again. Elsewhere in the barn, there arerestoration jobs on a pair of well-worn war boots thataccompanied a captured soldier during the Second World War andan abstract sculpture that links a mother and daughter. OnWill's list is the substantial repair of a swinging bench fromIndia that threatens to collapse the next time it's saton.Arriving first are eight-year-old Felix and his dad Sam fromHertfordshire. They have broughtwith them a microscope handeddown from Felix's great-grandfather John D Bernal. Felix has akeen interest in science, perhaps unsurprising considering hisgreat-grandfather was a pioneering figure in the field ofcrystallography and helped pave the way for the scientists whodiscovered the double-helix structure of DNA. But despiteFelix's enthusiasm, he won't currently be making anydiscoveries as the microscope, dated 1890, no longer works.Optics expert Richard Biggs diagnoses the key problem: themicroscope is missing a crucial lens. He must also restore thereflective mirror that illuminates the glass slides.CobblerDean Westmoreland has an appointment with Malcolm, who isentrusting him with a very special pair of boots that saw hislate father Jack through some very difficult wartime years andbeyond. Jack was captured in Norway before seeing any combatand spent five years as a prisoner of war. His diaries, whichMalcolm still has, detail the horrific conditions that Jackand his fellow soldiers endured including periods of starvationand freezing winters. When Jack eventually returned home, theboots came with him, but the heel has worn down, thestitching is falling apart and the moths have attacked the feltuppers.Next to arrive is Krishna from Hertfordshire. She'shoping that woodwork maestro Will Kirk can repair a swingingbench that has been in her family for over 120 years. Thebench, a traditional item of furniture from Gujarat in WestIndia, belonged to Krishna's great-grandfather, and sheremembers it being in family members' homes as a child inIndia. When Krishna had cancer, the bench was a sanctuarywhere she could recover from her chemotherapy sessions. But nowits joints are loose and precarious, and the whole structurethreatens to break if sat upon. Will's plan includesdismantling the entire bench so he can assess which parts needto be replaced and remade, and he enlists Sonnaz Nooranvary torestuff the upholstery.Finally, Maria has a unique challengefor ceramics expert Kirsten Ramsay. She has brought in ahandcrafted sculpture made by her mother Betina, an artistfrom Buenos Aires, Argentina. The marble sculpture is thefirst in a triptych of works depicting a growing organicobject, and it's a work of which Betina was particularlyproud. However, when brought to the UK, it split from itswooden base, with pieces sheared off the sculpture itself.It's a tricky repair, so Kirsten calls in Dom to assist.

    The barn welcomes the poet laureate, Simon Armitage, who'shoping organ restorer David Burville can revive his treasuredharmonium, the subject of one of his poems. For Simon, theinstrument holds precious memories of his late father Peter, acreative man who encouraged Simon's own artistic journey. Theharmonium was originally in their local church in WestYorkshire where both father and son were choristers. Now Simonwants the harmonium restored to not only rekindle memories ofhis dad but also strike a more contemporary note. David sets towork so that when Simon returns to the barn with his band, theexperts are treated to a nostalgic but modern performance.Nextto arrive is Valerie from Pontefract with a pair of child'sleather clogs to test the craftsmanship of fellowYorkshireman, cobbler Dean Westmoreland. The clogs belonged toValerie's sister Iris who, in 1946, was born at least sixweeks premature. With her chances of survival slim, she wasfed with a little dropper. Although she continued to haveproblems with her health and mobility, against all the oddsIris survived. When she was around four years old, theirmother bought the little clogs to help Iris with her balance,but the little girl hated them so much that she threw them inthe fire. Burned and no longer usable, the shoes sat on themantelpiece for the next 40 years. After their mother died,Iris kept them on her own mantelpiece having never got over theguilt of upsetting their mum. The tiny shoes carry so muchweight that Dean has his work cut out bringing them back tolife for Valerie.Next, seeking the sculptural skills ofKirsten Ramsay, is Martin with a precious memento thatchronicles an extraordinary life. As a 27-year-old ceramics andsculpture student in Czechoslovakia, Martin's mother Verabefriended a fellow student sculptor called Milos Axman. Thebroken sculpture that Martin has brought to the barn was madeby Axman in 1947 and depicts his mother as a young woman.Before her studies, at the beginning of the Second World Warwhen the Germans took over Czechoslovakia, Vera had been sentto work in an ammunitions factory in Berlin. She had planned anescape with two male friends but when caught crossing theborder, her companions had been shot dead. Vera was tried inNuremberg and given a life sentence but was freed from prisonin 1945. The sculpture is an important repair for ceramicsexpert Kirsten Ramsay, aided by woodwork whizz Will Kirk, whoturns his own artistic hand to sculpting a new oak base.
