An episode of The Repair Shop that visited Dumfries House and featured The King win the daytime Bafta TV award.
In the one-off special, the repair team - including Jay Blades - visited Charles at Dumfries House for The Repair Shop: A Royal Visit.
During the show’s episode, Charles saw a bracket clock and a piece made for Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee by British ceramics maker Wemyss Ware fixed and also joked and laughed with Blades.
The show marked the BBC’s centenary with a one-off special which saw the repair team visit King Charles, when he was still the Prince of Wales, at the iconic house near Cumnock.
Arriving on the stage to accept the gong, Blades said: “Wow, just give me two seconds, I have to take a picture, it’s quite special.
“We started as a daytime show on BBC Two, I’m so glad we’ve got an (award).”
Blades added that it was the “first time” that a “6ft black guy, from Hackney, (with a) gold tooth, (from a) single parent (family)” was presented with an award for daytime TV.
Speaking to the PA news agency from the red carpet of the Bafta TV awards, Blades said that The Repair Shop has a “simple message, but a big message”.
He said: “It’s all about community – there’s a community of us at The Repair Shop and then we’re helping people that we don’t know, so what you’re doing there is you’re actually showing humanity. That’s what the show’s all about.”
Dumfries House's appearance on the special episode The Repair Shop- A Royal Visit can be watched on the BBC iPlayer.
