Glasgow - A Theatre Icon Gets an Encore
Dom hopes to get a tune out of an Edwardian pianola at the world’s oldest surviving music hall, while Will and Kirsten team up to make a handmade chess set playable once again.
Dom steps inside Glasgow’s Britannia Panopticon, the world’s oldest surviving music hall, to help piano technician Jamie revive Henrietta, a 1904 Nilson pianola with roots in a New York speakeasy.
Will is in Inverness to collect Debbi’s handcrafted chess set, a family heirloom that requires Kirsten’s expert touch if it is to be played with again.
In Birnam, Dom is getting hands on with a craft that has remained unchanged for centuries as he masters steam bending and pine-tar finishing with Scotland’s only wooden ski maker.
