Last night's edition on BBC One featured a badly damaged Hofner. After restoration, luthier Julyan played a bit of 'Apache' with a couple of colleagues joining in on 'The Walk'.

Having said that, I suspect that if I knew a bit more about the other things they work on rather than just guitars, I might not be happy with those restorations either! Like many programmes these days, it's aimed more at the general public rather than enthusiasts like us.
My main gripe with it is that it wastes too much time chatting, when all I want to see is the work itself.
