The Repair Shop sparks memories of performing parents with remarkable restoration

BBC show. Paula, 67, said: “Steven found the unicycle in my cellar and we were upset about the state it was in. “I worried I’d disrespected my parents by not looking after it – it was a symbol of their life.
”Paula and Steven, who also have a brother called Richard, 68, see the unicycle as a reminder of their unusual upbringing. They travelled across Britain and Europe while their parents performed. Their mum, a dancer, met their father when both performed in Blackpool aged 17.
Dorothy joined his family act and learned the unicycle, which she rode while cracking ropes and spinning ribbons. Steven, 71, said: “It was hard for Mum, with three young kids, being in theatre in Southampton one night and Glasgow the next. “In the end they settled in Deal, Kent, so we could go to school.
My dad ran an entertainment company and did not want me to go in to the business. He refused to teach me to ride the unicycle. “But my grandad secretly taught me.
He and Nanny kept performing. “Grandad was in his 70s when he fell in to an orchestra pit in a dark theatre and died three days later. “Nanny had a new act with 10 dogs she’d taught to do tricks, and she had a little pocket sewn in to her costumes for their cooked liver rewards.
She went in to an old people’s home for performers alongside Thora Hird and Alan Freeman. ” The unicycle was made specially for Dorothy by Rolls-Royce in the 1940s. Repair Shop bike engineer Tim Gunn cleaned the chrome and fitted new spokes.
Vintage leather was moulded into a new saddle, and he found vintage pedals to keep its authentic look. Steven, a former Radio Caroline DJ who later set up a jingle company, could not resist riding the unicycle. It now has a special stand at Paula’s home in Deal.
