Steve Fletcher: Last News

Since launching on our screens back in 2017, BBC’s The Repair Shop has become known for its sentimental stories and wholesome transformations as everyday people have some of their most personal items restored back to their former glory. Among those working on The Repair Shop to make it the success that it has become is Steve Fletcher who has appeared on the show since day one.

An Ayrshire countryside estate which champions heritage crafts has been put firmly on the map as it received prime-time telly viewing last week.

Dame Judi Dench was given two pairs of "powerful" glasses on 'The Repair Shop' to enable her to see her late husband's watch. The 87-year-old actress - who was married to actor Michael Williams from 1971 until his death in 2001 - took a timepiece once belonging to her late husband onto the BBC One craft show, but she was unable to see the team's work until horologist Steve Fletcher loaned her his spectacles. Steve said: "She was looking at the watch and couldn’t see the engraving we’d put on the back.

Dame Judi Dench was thrilled when The Repair Shop fixed a treasured watch, but she had not expected a ­magnify-cent gift as well. For horologist Steve Fletcher gave her two pairs of his super strong specs, which meant Judi, whose eyesight is failing, could see every tiny detail in her late husband’s pocket-watch. Dame Judi, 87, recently took part in a special Repair Shop show, where Jay Blades and his team helped to repair the timepiece belonging to her late husband Michael Williams.

DAME Judi Dench was resorted to tears after The Repair Shop team fixed her late husband's treasured possession. The veteran actress had the sentimental item mended as part of a special live session of the BBC show to mark the programme's fifth anniversary.   Before Judi appeared on stage, a video tape played which showed her presenting the team with the pocket watch.

Two Minneapolis City Council Members are denying their involvement with the "defund the police" movement just days after the council approved a budget that shifted approximately $8 million from the police department and months after they joined colleagues in calling for the dismantlement of the Minnesota city's department. City Council Member Steve Fletcher rejected the idea that the council's goal was to defund the police during a recent interview with local news station KSTP-TV – and instead said the budget cuts came as a result of the need to fund other programs.
