Include films, tv and stage shows, books, some posts and so on. Creating an emotional response is pretty routine. Emotion is part of life. Football too. Not too sure what point you are trying to make.

None, other than I just do not like it.

I've learnt to block out the emotional sob stories and just appreciate the workmanship in these kind of programs. It's a diminishing art.

Fair enough.

It makes me regret not finding something to do very much like this
Even if only as Hobby.
Genuinely Highly skilled people.

One of the repairs made on tonight's program was something I have been proficient at for a number of years. All I can say is 'Hmm, that is not the way I would have done it'. Partly a bodge job and not enough care to prevent a disaster.

Which one LJ ?

Guessing it was the stained glass?

What would you have done differently?

That is a serious accusation.

It was actually the oil painting of the lady. Firstly I must point out that it had very little commercial value but did have sentimental value to the owner. After the restorer had assessed the painting the first thing she should have done was to remove the surface dirt and then the varnish. She stuck a bright white piece of something around the edge using a hot meld glue and risked sticking the old varnish to the painting. I personally would have stuck a whole new canvas on the back using either a special glue or wax. I noticed as the lady took the painting away that it was not flat and had minor indentations in it, a full reline would have removed this. She left the new edge white which was aesthetically poor, she should have at least used something of a similar colour or made it the same colour.

Paging tuffers. Views on the resident Lovejoy pointing out poor workmanship.

A program on Channel 4 tonight at 8pm called Mend It For Money which looks very similar to The Repair Shop.

I started at a top London Auction House and stayed there for nearly 10 years. My nickname there was Young Wildenstein after the Wildenstein Institute in Paris. The restoration side came later, that is all you are going to get.
