The
BBC show about fixing treasured heirlooms is the TV equivalent of sinking into a warm bath. It’s just what everyone needs right now
The world is a terrible, terrifying place to be. Trump,
Brexit, the
Amazon fires, microplastics, the shadow of recession; it can sometimes feel as if everything is conspiring against us at once. We’ve grown tried. We’ve become bad-tempered. We’ve burned out. What we need is a long, leisurely, comforting soak in a warm bath. We need to relax. We need to exhale.
By God, The Repair Shop is exactly the television show we all need right now.
