Re: BBC TV: The Repair Shop
I've now watched a couple of episodes and found them very disappointing, a real opportunity missed. There was no attempt to explain what the restorers were actually doing, and lots of extraneous 'human interest' stuff inserted. I wonder what the restorers themselves thought of the finished programmes.
I suspect the director had no real interest in what was going on and was afraid that the audience would be bored. It may have started off as a worthwhile project which was subsequently gutted during development.
