And that cockerel looked like something my kids make out of the recycling box

What an amazing job he did though - the guitar looked superb at the end, must have made the guy's day.
He absolutely nailed it. It is repaired yet it looks like it has been on the church roof for the last 200 years. Amazing skill.

Can’t stand the TV fakery - “Oooh, look who’s just randomly turned up with a knackered clock - and by some strange coincidence, we appear to have a visiting horologist in the house”. Also can’t bear cockney geezer Jay Blades or Bill Patterson’s plummy voice-overs.
it’s like the televisual equivalent of Simon Bates’s “Our Tune” back in the ‘80’s.

I love the work the guys do - they are excellent. ...it’s the bullshit human factor I hate. Which we HAVE to endure on so many tv shows these days.
...so and so artifact meant so much to xyz, that they never bothered to ever look at getting it fixed or restored for 20-30-40 years, covered in dust and crap in the back of the shed until the offer of some free expert help turns up with 5 minutes on the telly included.
A lot of the stuff that turn up is junk worth many times less than the work and expertise would cost to fix it up.
At the moment I'm looking for:
* Hamer Watson, SS2, Vintage S, T62.
* Music Man Luke 1, Luke II
Please drop me a message.
In fact my wife calls the show Takes Out Onion.
We tend to entertain ourselves by inventing "real" back stories, like the two generations of scallys who turn up on their social sticks with a crappy twocked Hofner, to get it tarted up for free so Cash Converters will accept it.
The experts really do seem to be experts, but the schmaltz and the lies are absolutely shameless.
You can no longer have "this is Bill, he has an interesting shop that sells..." and it's into the shop to have a look.
No. Nowadays we have to find out how Bill's feet are on the wrong legs and an owl flew into him when he was twelve and left him unable to use a teaspoon.
