The premise
Here’s the bit.
In a parody of gentle restoration television, presenter Benji welcomes viewers to The Weeping Shed, where craftsperson Sam is mending a miniature grandfather clock that once belonged to Maureen's late grandfather. Benji keeps lavishing strangely personal compliments on Sam while nudging the chat toward Brexit and the programme's faintly churchy atmosphere. After the break, the pair agree that Maureen's hope of seeing her grandfather revived must be a metaphor, but Benji's musings on Jesus, carpentry and Lazarus end with Sam hailed as the next best thing to a miracle-working restorer.

Say it with us
Highly quotable.
Yes, it's nonsense. I repair clocks, not brain damage.
If you believe the story of Lazarus, Jesus was both a carpenter and a necromancer.
It's incredibly wholesome.
A little extra
Notes from the archive.
This upload joins both halves of the sketch, which Channel 4 aired at the start and near the end of episode 5. The Weeping Shed parodies the BBC heirloom-restoration series The Repair Shop.

One more couldn’t hurt.
