In Great Need of Repair

This is a wonderfully loony sketch for the Red Nose Day: Comic Relief telethon in England from 2022.  The video is centered around a parody of a BBC show, The Repair Shop, in which – as far as I can tell – people bring treasured family heirlooms that need fixing and then there’s a Big Reveal when they come to pick it up.  The sketch features two of the main stars of the actual The Repair Shop, Jay Blades and Steven Fletcher, and other of the show's experts, and the guests who arrive in need of assistance are Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French, as well as Dame Judi Dench (yes, really) and her actress daughter Flinty Williams.
 
Adding some fun perspective to this, Judi Dench actually appeared as a guest on the real Repair Shop show, bringing in a very-meaningful pocket watch she had given to her late-husband 50 years earlier that needed repair.  I suspect that was the impetus for her wanting to appear in the sketch.  And not to worry, I tracked down that video and will post it soon, perhaps tomorrow.
