With nothing on the telly on Sunday night I reluctantly tuned into The Repair Shop.

The programme started with the camp chippy telling the equally queer book repairer that they had to wash their hands for the first visitor.

They were then shown at the sink with soap and water, making a great deal about getting their hands clean.

The first visitor was a Muslim woman clutching a beaten up copy of the Koran.
The 2 repair gays were in awe.
I was surprised that they didn’t perform Sajdar in front of the woman and her book, prostrating themselves on the ground in submission.

They thanked her for honouring them with the Koran and the book guy set about his work.

He had to take the entire thing apart but he explained that he couldn’t write the page numbers on the now disassembled book in easily removed pencil, as it was a sacred scripture.
Instead he had to mark the pages with tiny bits of paper that could not cause any damage.

He eventually finished his work.

When the Muslim woman came to collect the repaired Koran, the book guy told her that he was really upset that he couldn’t read the beautiful scriptures as the book was in Arabic, but he had rejoiced in the holiness of it anyway.

I doubt if he would have been in such reverance had it been a Bible.

According to the link below, the viewers were in awe.
Not this one.
I almost put my foot through the television.
