The Repair Shop fans were left ‘in tears’ after a family were finally ‘brought peace’ by a restoration with a heartbreaking twist.  

Electrical expert Mark Stuckey got to work on restoring guests Zaff and Nasari’s vintage projector, which was their dad’s, in Wednesday’s episode of the BBC show. 

Zaff and Nasari’s dad brought the projector to Rochdale after being forced to flee Uganda in 1972.

The brother-sister duo were hoping to restore the projector, almost 50 years after it was last used, as they said it contained precious memories from their life in the African country. 

Zaff and Nasari became emotional as the newly-fixed projector was unveiled, both tearing up.

‘Oh my God, wow,’ said Zaff, as Nasari added: ‘It looks brand-new.’

The pair then got to view memories of their parents they had never seen before, to which expert Mark asked: ‘Was it as you hoped?’

‘And more,’ Nasari said, getting choked up. ‘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.’

‘I bet you can’t wait to get back home and get the family together,’ Mark said, to which Zaff added: ‘Absolutely. A big get-together, I think and have a viewing, basically.’

The Repair Shop were also left emotional at the segment, as they said: ‘Don’t know why I’m tearing up. Projector,’;

‘Wow. Imagine watching all those films after all that time,’; 

‘Brilliant episode and stunning repair & also the family who lost everything in Uganda had their projector filled with family memories restored this was ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE viewing I Loved seeing them playing as children! A sad story but a beautiful ending.’

Last month, another episode of the show saw a guest break down in tears after revealing he felt ‘ashamed’ about the state of century-old furniture left to him by his twin, who had died of cancer.

Roger Parsons’s brother Chris pᴀssed away three years ago but years before he died he gave his twin a set of chairs as he was about to move to Florida.

In the 1990s, the guest opted to put the wooden chairs in a storage unit, but they were soon damaged after the room became riddled with damp.

This led Roger to the BBC show, becoming the star of its latest instalment and making fans emotional with his heart-wrenching story.

He said: ‘Chris sadly lost his life to cancer back in July 2022. I didn’t really look after them as well as I might have done… I am ashamed actually that they have ended up in this condition. 

‘Now that Chris has gone, everything that was attached to him is of greater significance to me.’

Roger described his lifelong friendship with his twin and explained that he often followed his sibling around.

‘We were born 17 minutes apart,’ he said.  ‘We did everything together, we played rugby, played sport together. Chris was always one step ahead, I kind of hung on to his shirt tails. He had my back and I had his.’

Expert Sonnaz Nooranvary was blown away by the furniture and told Roger that the chairs were designed at least 100 years ago and were handmade by luxury crafter Ercol.

She then joined Will Kirk in carrying out the arduous task of mending the wooden frame and making some new cushions to replace the rotten existing set.

Roger could not believe his eyes when he arrived at the barn after the repair mission, as he was greeted by patched-up chairs with fresh peach and grey cushions. 

He said: ‘Wow that’s incredible, absolutely amazing… I have never seen them looking so good and I am sure Chris didn’t either. 

‘To see the woodwork and the upholstery come back to life, it’s remarkable. Just thinking how nice it would have been to have maybe be sat with Chris in the other one.’

He then expressed intention to take the chairs back to his house straight away and not make the same mistake of placing them in storage.

The Repair Shop airs Wednesdays on BBC One at 8pm and is available to stream on iPlayer.
