Prestwick - Preserving the Picture Palace
Mark battles rust and dead wiring to preserve Prestwick鈥檚 derelict art deco picture palace, and Dom picks up an heirloom accordion from Shetlander Victoria.
Prestwick鈥檚 Broadway Cinema hasn鈥檛 shown a film since its doors closed in 1976, so Mark Stuckey and Steve Rowley must battle rust, missing wires and obsolete carbon-arc lamps if they hope to bring its twin projectors back to life.
Dom meets Shetlander Victoria, who needs her grandfather鈥檚 accordion fixed if she is to realise her busking ambitions, and then discovers the centuries-old art of enamelling watch dials, a craft that demands steady hands.
