The BBC One restoration show is a huge hit with viewers
is adding a new face to the cast, the BBC revealed in a surprise announcement ahead of Wednesday night's episode., and as he revealed in a statement, couldn't be more excited about his new gig!
Impressively self-taught, Pierro revealed how he got into renovating cameras, saying: "When I started repairing film cameras over a decade ago, the world had already moved onto digital, so you couldn’t just go to a factory and learn from the specialists – I had to teach myself."What led me into repairs was my fascination for analogue cameras and the history that they hold.
"It seemed crazy to me that cameras nearly 100 years old were just ending up in landfill and I wanted to change this. To understand how these cameras worked, I started by pulling them apart to learn how to fix them. Through this process of reverse engineering, I was able to gain the knowledge I needed, to repair and save these cameras."After a few years of in-depth study across a range of cameras, I was able to approach companies in London to start working on customers repairs.
Teasing his upcoming role on the show, he revealed his "most challenging fix" so far was especially emotional.He said: "The most challenging fix so far has been the last one I did at the barn - the Adox sport camera. This camera was used by the client’s grandfather in the Vietnam War. When it arrived, it probably would have been easier to manufacture a new camera than it would have been repair – there were parts missing screws missing everything was broken, springs gone.
The Repair Shop will be shown on BBC One at 8pm on Wednesday and available on the BBC iPlayer afterwards.
