Season 1
Episodes
Swamp-Stang
In the first episode of the series, Derek extracts a 1967 Ford Mustang that has sat dormant for 28 years. But the years of rust and neglect won't stop him from transforming this car into a new creation.
Bandit Chevy
Derek finds a 1951 Chevrolet Deluxe worthy of a new life. However, 44 years of sitting has taken its toll. He'll need to get it running and stopping if he hopes to tackle the hills of Chattanooga and make it home.
Termite Tempest
Derek saves a 1966 Pontiac Tempest with a rare overhead-camshaft six-cylinder engine. But just dusting off the cobwebs won't do this car justice. While Dan the Interior Man works his magic on the upholstery, Derek sets to work converting this OHC six to EFI.
Hotwired Tow Truck
Derek heads to a scrapyard to find a retired tow truck he can use around the shop. But this 1979 Dodge D300 has had a hard life and proves reluctant to go anywhere. Derek will have to hotwire the entire electrical system if he has any hope of making it home.
Bare Metal Bel Air
Fighting the overgrowth and the weather, Derek battles to get a 1964 Chevrolet Bel Air out of a field in Kentucky and back to his shop in Tennessee. With some help from his brother Chris, the two intend to swap the Bel Air's tired 283 V8 for a 350 small-block, but that proves to be no easy task.
Black Hills Blazer
Derek returns to the shop where he apprenticed as a teenager, and to a 1979 Chevrolet K5 Blazer that's been sitting for over 20 years. He teams up with his brother Sean to reassemble this parts truck into a full-on trail machine to tackle the Black Hills of South Dakota. Along the way, they learn from Derek's old mentor why this truck sat forgotten for so many years.
Motor City Model A
At an inner-city Detroit car club, Derek finds a 1928 Ford Model A that hasn't run in over 60 years. He calls in the help of Model A expert Paul Shinn to dissect this derelict 94-year-old car to figure out why it sat for so long. If they can get it running in time, they might get the opportunity to drive it to Ford's legendary Highland Park plant.
Rebel With a Cause
In the season finale, Derek travels to the last standing AMC dealership, Collier Motors in Pikeville, North Carolina. With more than 100 cars sitting derelict, Derek finds an AMC Rebel SST convertible that needs reviving. Parked for over 40 years, he'll try to get it running again and give it back to its original owner, who hasn't seen it on the road since he was nine years old.

The Repair Shop
The Repair Shop is a workshop of dreams, where broken or damaged cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life.
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.

Watson is a medical show with a strong investigative spine, featuring a modern version of one of history's greatest detectives as he turns his attention from solving crimes to addressing the greatest mystery of all: illness, and the ways it disrupts our lives.
