A beloved vintage radio that helped a poor Italian migrant family to learn English has been restored on The Repair Shop after being silent for 50 years.
Luigi Ciaburri, 66, was handed down the Bakelite radio when his father Giuseppe died aged 74 in 1988, but the heirloom has been mute for decades.
In emotional scenes to be shown on BBC1 tonight, Luigi brings in the dusty device that has sat broken in his attic since his parents died.
