Stewart Lee on The Art of Repair, with Hackney Artisans in East London

Comedian Stewart Lee narrates a unique and touching insight into life in London's East End. Hackney has a long tradition of artisan craftsmanship and repair, but in recent years the once familiar landscape of low rise workshops and light industrial buildings have made way for more profitable, high-rise residential dwellings.

The Art of Repair follows the story of four artisans that see their work as a way of life. The changing demographic has been a godsend to some who thrive on the supply of magnificent, bespoke, hand-built instruments and furniture, whilst others struggle to withstand squeeze from manufacturers who promote the built in obsolescence of their products.

This very personal, and sometimes moving story is an honest account from a community that's lived through change. There's more behind that old shop door than you might think.
