With the Alaska Range behind them, the mushers turn their attention to a rest strategy. Missing his leader and with an exhausted team, Lance Mackey decides to take his mandatory 24 hour rest earlier than scheduled.

These mushers must stay focused on their dogs as the other competitors, Martin Buser and DeeDee Jonrowe, pass by. DeeDee, who is nursing a virus from her own team, makes it first to the halfway mark at Checkpoint: Cripple, winning the Yukon Gold.

Eskimo Darin Nelson becomes the latest musher to withdraw from the race — a sick dog team breaks his will to continue, and he chooses to scratch. Meanwhile a tired DeeDee Jonrowe is accosted by a drunken fan, and the Buser family separates to allow former champion, Martin, a shot at the gold.

Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.

Many of these items have incredible stories behind them and a unique place in history: from an accordion played in the Blitz by a woman who is now in her 90s, to a beautifully crafted clock made by a father who was completely blind; a Pinball machine that is currently being used as a kitchen counter, and a Davenport desk with its trademark fake drawers which fooled burglars - and their crowbar.

The Repair Shop is an antidote to our throwaway culture and shines a light on the wonderful treasures to be found in homes across the country.
