The Repair Shop renewed for further 3 years at BBC
Jay Blades' heirloom rescue programme isn't going anywhere.
The Repair Shop will reportedly stay open for business on BBC One for the next three years.
The hit factual show sees Jay Blades and his team of expert craftspeople restore cherished family heirlooms to their former glory, utilising rare and fascinating skills.
Debuting on BBC One as a daytime show back in 2017, the series was bumped up to a primetime slot following the success of last year's Christmas special.
In its new peak timeslot, The Repair Shop has seen further success, with millions tuning in to see antique items be gifted a new lease of life - and the emotional reactions from their delighted owners.
Jay Blades acts as the main host of the series, asking visitors about the stories behind their possessions, from heartfelt memories to jaw-dropping historical tales.
