The Repair Shop - Do The Experts Do All The Work?
12 Answers
Some of the repairs seem to be very extensive and would take a lot of time to do. Because of the turnover time of TV do they experts do ALL the work themselves? Apart from the parts where a specialist skill other than the original Expert has and is passed onto another one. Or are they Damien Hurst types where they do a bit on the TV and their competent "Helpers" will do the bulk of the repair work. I can understand it because of the time constraints , but if this is the case it should be more open. Or is this the wonderful illusion of TV.

My "annoyance" with this programme is that the owners casually walk round the corner carrying their stuff, while the voice-over states that they are from Northumberlnd...OK, where are they walking from, then?

The Repair shop is there as a physical building. But there is no business as such run from the location. You cant roll up and expect to have your repairs done there .. all the repairers operate their own business's from their own premises. The Repair Shop is just a building where they present the show from. It is done at at Singleton Museum near Chichester.
Mark my point is that over the course of the series each expert will undertake maybe half a dozen projects, each one is different and may take a short or longer time to repair, however my point is they must have extra help as they would not be able to do all the projects. I believe there is some artistic license in the show.
Don't forget they will also have filmed the bit you see many times to get the exact angles and comments just right. Even on Escape To The Country they have to go in and out of the houses and different rooms many times just to make it seem natural. These programmes are all set up - the Tattoo Fixers show was not even a proper place and the 'receptionist' was an actress who is now in several adverts.
