Dame Judi Dench and Craig Revel Horwood got on the fast track to make it to Edinburgh for a special edition of The Repair Shop.
Legendary actress Dame Judi and Strictly judge Craig are appearing at this year‘s Edinburgh TV festival for an entertaining edition of the hit show as it marks its fifth anniversary.
The BBC One show sees members of the public bring their family heirlooms in need of restoring to a team of experts led by furniture restorer and host Jay Blades.
The 87-year-old, who took in a pocket watch which belonged to her late husband, actor Michael Williams to the show, relaxed on her way from London to Scotland on the LNER line as she enjoyed doing the crossword in between having some toasted tea cake.
Craig, 57,also enjoyed some food as he travelled on the 4pm from London yesterday.
