Midlands - A Celestial Projector Is Brought Back to Life
Season 1, Episode 1
Dominic Chinea and Mark Stuckey are in the Black Country, tackling the needs of a big red bus. After being used as a mobile shelter by a homelessness charity for a few years, a leaking roof and outdated electrics have combined to keep it off the road. It's a huge fix to take on, in every sense, and the team needs all the help vintage vehicle restorer Mark Owen can provide if they're to get it back into service. Plus, Pauline presents a celestial projector, once owned by her husband. Now the light has stopped working, and many of the constellations have worn away
