The Repair Shop guest chokes up as viewers left 'in tears' over touching restoration

The Repair Shop took an emotional turn as viewers were left ‘in tears’ after two guests were reunited with their prized passion.

During the latest instalment of the beloved series, electrical expert Mark Stuckey was on hand to restore brother and sister duo Zaff and Nasari’s vintage projector that once belonged to their dad.

When their family was forced to flee the country in 1972, Zaff and Nasari’s dad brought the precious projector with them to Rochdale, where they eventually rebuilt their lives.

The pair were desperate to get the item restored back to working condition as they revealed that it held long-buried memories of their family’s life in Uganda.

Mark managed to work his magic and got the projector to start working again after almost half a century of it being unused.

In a touching moment, both Zaff and Nasari couldn't contain their emotions as they were reunited with their team.

Zaff was lost for words as he said: “Oh my God, wow.” Nasari continued: “It looks brand-new.” They then got to watch never-before-seen treasured memories from their childhood.

Mark asked: “Was it as you hoped?” Zaff jumped in: “And more.” Nasari was choked up as she continued: “It brought me peace, seeing my mum and dad and how we were and my grandfather, how much time we spent together. Yeah, happy memories.”

Mark pointed out: “I bet you can’t wait to get back home and get the family together.” Zaff agreed: "Absolutely. A big get-together, I think and have a viewing, basically.”

Viewers watching at home wasted no time sharing their reaction to the heartfelt moment as one said: “Brilliant projector”.

Another commented: “Don’t know why I’m tearing up. Projector #therepairshop.” One wrote: ”Mark, that really was superb craftsmanship. Congratulations! #therepairshop.”

Meanwhile one added: “Wow. Imagine watching all those films after all that time. #therepairshop.”

Elsewhere in the show, woodworker Will Kirk helped Zoe Blake-James and her grandmother Rowan restore a family heirloom that has been passed down four generations of women in the Blake-James family, making it over 130 years old.

The vintage fire screen originally belonged to Rowan’s grandmother, and she has fond childhood memories of it being used in the family living room.
