Seeing so many of the stars of The Repair Shop together reminds you that at the core of it are good people trying to bring people's history back to life for them. It is full of old values as well as traditional skills. Thank you for bringing that bit of brightness into our lives and you’re all winners no matter who the BAFTAs go to.

[@DominicChineas]

Thanks, it was so nice to be able to stand near each other again!

[@paulp96275]

You are all winners I love the program ,Dom nice car show not an ECU to be seen on those lovely old motors fantastic keep them coming Dom top lad 👍👨🏻‍🏭

[@DominicChineas]

Carbs everywhere I’m glad to say!

[@korosu2203]

Love how you are just you. Down to earth. Not pretending to be anyone but yourself even though you are famous now 😁

[@DominicChineas]

I just enjoy what I’m doing! Thank you

[@mikec2505]

Sunday night ritual is established: Countryfile, Antiques Roadshow, recording of this weeks Repair Shop, then Dom’s upload before lights out. Splendid! Night all!

[@DominicChineas]

Glad to hear it!

[@andrewhawkins6454]

Lovely video again Dom. Sorry to hear that you didn't get your well deserved BAFTA. But it was great to see you all together to enjoy the evening and occasion together. 🥂👍

[@DominicChineas]

It was a lovely evening either way! Thank you

[@philash5073]

You didn’t win a bafta, but congratulations to jay for his gong. He’ll be insisting you all call him sir whilst you vigorously tug on your forelocks when you see him next 🤣🤣

[@stevelucas2117]

Made me chuckle at 5:06 Dom. I've been to a lot of car shows but since in I'm the U.S. I'm not sure I'll get a chance to visit Bicester Heritage so thank you for sharing this vlog. Oh, and you and Will toasting 11:32 ...priceless!

[@AndyUK-Corrival]

Great one Dom, that open day looked brilliant. Looked a bit like Goodwood Revival. congrats on the nomination, well deserved. Andy UK

[@terrytopliss9506]

Like the guy said to you Dom,if he could only watch one tv programme it would be the repair shop and that what my wife and I think to.👍👍

[@DominicChineas]

Thanks so much!

[@brianmicky7596]

Hi Dom, Thank you for the wonderful trip around Bicester, was with you All the way Fantastic ,Yes sorry about the Bafta, Well done, All the Best Brian

[@mickblizzard1408]

Thanks Dom 🤘 Your channel and the RS are my go too feel good watches 😎

[@DominicChineas]

Thanks so much, glad to hear it!

[@CornishMiner]

Congratulations on being BAFTA nominated. Great to see those heritage motors at Bicester. Had the pleasure of driving an Austin Healey Sprite around Castle Coombe circuit twenty five years ago. Great little cars.

[@catnipmurphy5971]

Congratulations on the nomination. Repair Shop couples the love of and fascination with expertise, together with (and this is a wholehearted compliment) the closest thing to a live action re-boot of Bagpuss.

[@marieeaton-smith5168]

Such a nice video, thanks. You looked like you all had fun, and wonderful to be nominated.

[@Qspecialman]

Great video Dom. Bicester looks terrific. I am in the process of organising a trip to the UK (when Covid is sorted) to show my French friends Brooklands and Bicester. The Heritage centre looks like a dream world! Congratulations on being nominated for there BAFTAs. Would it be possible please to ask Steve if he know where I could get my elderly Shoolbred fusee clock repaired. I have tried to get it repaired here in France but they made a complete dogs breakfast of it. Keep up the good work.

[@vaudiw1]

another great vid Dom thankyou

[@DominicChineas]

Your so welcome

[@bobnorman4730]

Congrats anyway! Just being nominated is a feat in itself and worth celebrating. Cheers!

[@davethedragonlee]

Great video Dom. Look forward to the next one

[@stephendriver5853]

Marvellous.

[@andyarmstrong1493]

Fantastic vid, my great grandfather was a blacksmith in Glenarm, Co. Antrim, last century. Love to keep stuff working.

[@ellmo1022]

Enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing. Lots of cool cars to see. Congratulations on your BAFTA nomination. You all looked very nice!

[@DominicChineas]

Appreciate the kind words! Thank you

[@davidwhite4915]

What a fantastic place thanks Dom

[@fredjcarss7788]

Glad you seemed to like the Riley’s. Thanks for including them.

[@steverickman3076]

Can’t believe I’ve missed out on the Bicester Heritage centre, I’ll be off there soon! The Austin 7 made me chuckle with the horn virtually the same size as the engine block😊. Fantastic to see another Ranalah and painted just as you described. BAFTA for next year then Dom, I mean you can’t let that suit go to waste😉

[@bozz1954]

Great vlog as usual. Had to smile when in amongst all those beautiful old cars Dom is mightily impressed by a wall. Love it. 😂

[@nickwright5531]

Another cracking film Dom. Ticked all the boxes! Keep them coming.

[@DominicChineas]

Nice one thank you!

[@rusty633]

Repair shop should have won best programme on the T v

[@highpath4776]

Loved the last christmas special, would like to see one where you all get together to make something new for a good cause to keep, or sell (via Antiques Road Trip ? )

[@almorgan68]

Also gutted they didn't win but such a great show to watch these guys should be rewarded for the work they do

[@davidsaxby5400]

Great video. Bicester heritage open day looked great. Coincidentally I was there a few weeks ago with my dad who was dropping off some classic bicycles there. It looks like an interesting place. I didn’t know about the open day otherwise I would have loved to visit. Keep the great videos coming.

[@Tommahelen]

Loving the channel mate! Top stuff..

[@daz41262010]

awesome video dom what a shame you guys didn't win the bafta award maybe next time but spending time with you looking at all them classic items including cars was amazing man thanks for posting :)

[@SuperJohnhughes]

Great work mate greetings from A Scottish Australian , 🦘 👍

[@timstoys1]

Great video this week Dom

[@bobt3374]

Hi Dom. well that was a great car day & as far as i am concerned you should have won the Bafta there is nothing that beats your program at The Repair Shop. Take care to you all.

[@meirionevans5137]

Worth the nomination just to see you in a suit! Not to be sneezed at, well done, some of the best tv at the moment.

[@ianwood-ellis5183]

Loved the Frogeye Sprite, it needs a sympathetic restoration but keep all the cool stuff, maybe even convert it back to left hand drive to make it a rare car, great video Dom will have to try and get to Bicester one year

[@markosland9746]

Bicester is amazing isn't it? I went a few times pre COVID and I've marshalled and co-driven on historic rallies there recently.......it's so good how they've left a lot of the architecture original. I love the fact that you walk around a building and find hidden gems parked up.......looing forward to returning soon!

[@MrAbowker]

Well done on the BAFTA nomination, as you say, it's yours next year. Before you get to far down the road with Ranalah how about a repair shop spinoff documentary for television following your progress with the project - something like ' Ranalah - rebirth of a legend'. I'm sure it would be popular with watchers of The Repair Shop.

[@DominicChineas]

we have all said it would make a brilliant tv show, it’s not that easy to just make one though unfortunately! I am enjoying making it for KZbin though

[@ukhottubs]

👍👍

[@richardwhatton1249]

A great video Dom, thank you. The Heritage Centre looked most interesting and definitely on my list for a future visit. Sorry about the BAFTA but being nominated was an honour and the Repair Shop (in my view) is still the best show on the television. Kind regards, Richard.

[@gianfrancochimienti3867]

Love your Channel Dom!!! keep it up!!

[@peterjones3453]

Great vlog as usual, this is becoming my Sunday treat 😊

[@salvofarnia8046]

This channel for me is one of the top on KZbin along with Harrys garage. Tyrells classic workshop all worth the wait.

[@DominicChineas]

Thanks so much! That’s lovely to hear!

[@unbalancedcrank]

Blue Riley saloon (kestrel? Falcon?) at 7:27. Another one from my lottery fantasy list!

[@Cradley684]

Them guy's said it ALL Dom take care Mate !!!.

[@jonathanb3458]

The compliments you got at Bicester are well meant and well deserved - people don't have to say anything so the fact they do so should make you proud.

[@DominicChineas]

It was really nice everyone coming and saying hi! Lots of lovely comments as you say, thank you everyone!

[@unbalancedcrank]

That blue 911 at 6 minutes. Perfection

[@DominicChineas]

So nice!!! Great choice

[@joffbrown]

Great video,

[@neilmusgrove4668]

Shame no bafta! you deserve one! All looking great, anyone sugested Will for next James Bond, looking cool!

[@tonystamp2708]

Looks like a great weekend. Hard luck on the Baftas, The Repair Shop deserved it in my opinion but hey, thats life. Loving the videos. What a great KZbin channel this is.

[@Musicdj-zz]

Great vid Dom😉

[@davidasmithreverseglassgil9868]

That was Brilliant Dom!!!! You guys deserved that Bafta, congrats on the nomination. Next year it will be the Repair shops award!. I feel it in my blood bro!

[@pauliboo2]

That was fantastic Dom, thank you for showing us all those beautiful cars, such a nice day too.. would love to see a video at the training school.. “a day in the life of an Apprentice.. In 2021”??

[@DominicChineas]

Now that’s a good idea!! I wonder how I’d get on back in school! Haha!

[@RoyCousins]

Great video, thanks Dom. The Repair Shop is the most entertaining show on TV and easily deserves a BAFTA. I'm really looking forward to seeing how you recreate a Ranalah English Wheel as I've watched one being used and it's a real art. I was at Bicester on the following day (Sunday) and it was great to be out at a car event again.

[@bobingram6912]

Who are these Bafta people, certainly not in tume with the rest of the country, you're all winners in my book. Keep up with these vlogs Dom, just loving your enthusiasm. 👍🏻❤

[@simonevanschaik9224]

I’ve been a car fan for many years (don’t have a driver’s license) but ow what a view of those cars!!!! Being a female F1 fan is sometimes weird but my heart skipped some beats!! As always much ❤️ from 🇳🇱

[@kevinaquick]

Lovely to glimpse the traction engine at that event, and I have noticed the odd one appear fleetingly in Repair Shop programmes (I did go to a steam rally held there a few years ago) - knowing your passion for historic engineering have you thought about getting involved in working with such machines or even restoring one - mind you not a cheap pastime

[@migalito1955]

Wow, I get to make the first comment. You and Matthias Wandel have cost me a bit of cash. I watch your videos, become inspired and realize I lack a required tool and either buy one or as in the newest project aka mini wood lathe I buy the bits I need to make it with. Thanks....

[@tony.b4368]

another great vid mate… all the nice comments from the folk you met at Bicester were well deserved…keep it up…. The repair shop is the only thing Worth watching whatever the BAFTA suits say😃👍👍

[@skdinterceptor2828]

Great video......

[@DominicChineas]

Thank you!

[@simonpowell]

Always entertaining, thank you. I eagerly look forward to your next weekly instalment

[@jayne1544]

Congratulations on bafta nomination and you all looked spiffing all suited and booted.

[@nicolaliddle9622]

Bicester heritage looks incredible, looks like you were in heaven! Lovely to see the Team all dressed up and able to socialize for the BAFTAs. It’s a shame you didn’t win but great to be nominated. Looking forward to the next video!

[@kevinisaac9139]

Nice one Dom 👍

[@simonfairweather4184]

Hello Dom, Another cool Vlog. You don't need a BAFTA to know how much people enjoy what you do. I think the comments on your video are enough cheers Simon

[@DominicChineas]

Thanks Simon, so many lovely comments all the time! It makes filming these so much more enjoyable

[@TK42138]

Superb vlog, watching this and as you're walking around the Bicester show, I'm reminded how much I've missed car shows and meets over the last year. Bicester is on my visit list now. Shame about the Bafta but the nomination means Repair Shop is being noticed and gaining fans at an exponential rate so as you say - there's always next year.

[@dilihopa]

Can't wait for the day when we here in Canada can be "open for business" again. Just came out of a 3rd total lockdown after 2 months a few days ago and we are still only in phase one.. Seeing your video and people enjoying their day is heart warming to see and makes me think the future is bright. Great Video!

[@DominicChineas]

Best of luck, we will all get there!

[@lynnhaswell1690]

Bicester looked absolutely brilliant Dom - certainly a dream location for all petrol heads 👌😊 thanks for sharing another brilliant video - Very disappointed that TRS didn't win- but keeping fingers crossed for you all at the NTA Awards later this year 🤞🤞🤞😊

[@liammcmonagle7828]

Thoroughly enjoying your channel Dom. Keep it up and good luck with the Ranalah venture mate.

Loved the little Austin 7s

[@johnmurrell3175]

My father had one of those - it did not want to go up steep hills with two adults and two small children. Passengers often had to get out and walk - and push !!

[@HowWeLandscape]

Who gives videos like this a thumbs down? . . always puzzles me. Great vid as always mate, keep them up 👍

Someone needs to point him in the direction of Edd China. I imagine they might get on quite well!

Loved this video. Husband has decided we definitely need to visit Bicester now. Also enjoyed the BAFTA section. Stayed at that hotel 2 weeks ago, Genuinely don’t understand how you didn’t win . Enjoy your last few weeks of filming and the break afterwards.

Oh you absolutely have to go and visit Bicester, it was my first time there, 1 day is not enough time!
