Steve Fletcher tackles a pocket watch that spent four years in a Second World War Japanese internment camp undetected while secretly sewn in to the hem of a dress.

Today in the Repair Shop, Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.

Resident clock maker Steve Fletcher tackles a pocket watch that has come all the way from Holland and which spent four years in a Second World War Japanese internment camp undetected while secretly sewn in to the hem of a dress. Metal worker Dominic Chinea and master cooper Alastair Simms get an ancient butter churn turning, and churning, once again. And leather expert Suzie Fletcher lovingly restores a trunk made by Louis Vuitton and which is showing the signs of the years it spent travelling the world with owner Tom's great grandfather.
