“But that’s okay. It’s a real experience and I’m learning a lot about myself and about the industry.”
Talking about the hit BBC restoration series The Repair Shop, he added: “There is a little bit of that about it because The Repair Shop is about people.
“Whether it’s an old pair of shoes or a violin. And in my case, whether it’s an old Toyota or a Jaguar E-type.
“People only care enough to keep them going and to restore them because they’re imbued with their own memories and emotions, and that’s important.”
“It’s lovely to do something that my wife Mindy and my daughters, Izzie and Willow.
“It’s part of our family life. I do this work, I start from home and I go to the workshop and I come back home.
“I don’t get on an aeroplane. And it’s great for them to see that.
“Yeah, I’m loving and it’s also in the county where we live. So the people that we see are the people I live amongst, which is great.”
On the reaction to the first series, Richard commented: “People have really enjoyed it they were very kind about it.
“It’s much more the real me because when I’m doing other TV shows, it’s a different experience.
