Episode 9 Officially Amazing Extra

Hello. I'm Ben Shires and this is Officially Amazing Extra.

Now if you missed yesterday's record breaking show,

this is a great way to catch up.

And if you did see it, it's a

perfect opportunity to watch the best bits all over again.

You lucky things.

Yesterday's show was something of a record-breaking feast.

In America, Al met a man who can make some unsavoury fast food.

The fastest sandwiches with his feet! Yes, his feet!

And in Officially Competitive, we saw Ray and Cherry defeated

in a chopstick jelly baby sorting challenge, by the thinking woman's

Harry Styles, Sizzling Steve, who now leads the competition overall.

And our record-breaking banquet continues today.

Later we have some exclusive Extra footage where you get to

feel like a record breaker.

And there's a brand-new record attempt from this guy,

Hercules, a huge Ukrainian who spends his life doing dangerous

and unwise things, like this.

My, oh, my.

He made a huge impression on me in yesterday's show.

Here's a reminder of his awesome skills.

HE GROANS

Hercules is going to attempt the record for the greatest

combined weight juggled.

You can use anything you like,

but Hercules has gone for a particularly tiring option.

Here are the rules.

All three tyres must be the same weight.

He must use a standard juggling technique,

so right-left, right-left.

And he must juggle for at least 30 seconds to get the record.

On his first go, Hercules managed an impressive 26 seconds,

only a fraction off his target.

It's incredible. He must be aching... Oh!

On his second go he was even closer.

Ah!

29 seconds. You're one second away.

Exhausted and bruised, the giant of a man was determined to

get his hands on the prize.

World records don't come easy. Come on Hercules.

One last go.

So close last time. Has he got it in him?

Look at the determination.

Ten seconds.

Look how high he's throwing those massive tyres. What an effort.

You can see he really wants this record.

20 seconds.

Remember, he needs to juggle this huge weight for 30 seconds.

Can he do it? Come on.

30 seconds! Yeah!

Yes!

Hercules, put it there.

You did it.

Oh...

I'm so pleased for you.

Look at this guy. He's exhausted and no wonder.

Terrific tyre juggling,

but Hercules wouldn't be called Hercules

if he stopped after one exhausting task.

After we finished filming the tyres, he wanted a go at another record.

So just for you, here's an exclusive for Officially Amazing Extra.

Ben, what's he going to be doing?

He's going to be attempting a record with his teeth.

You could have brushed them, mate.

Yes, kilt-wearing honorary Scotsman Hercules is going to attempt

the Guinness World Record for the heaviest road vehicle

pulled by teeth.

We saw how hard it was for strong man Igor Zarakov to break

this record in the last series...

as he pulled a 12.36 tonne bus

a distance of 5m with his gnashers.

So instead of adding just a teensy bit more weight,

Hercules has supersized this record by pulling this man sat

in this van carrying another van, all weighing in at 12.76 tonnes.

That's 400 kilos more than the current record.

OK, in your own time Hercules. Take it away.

And he's off.

This is the equivalent of pulling 180 men, or two African elephants,

with your teeth!

Remember, it's not just one truck.

Hercules is pulling a truck on top of another truck.

He's stopped there and it would appear his teeth hurt -

hardly surprising really.

The second attempt is on...and off pretty quickly.

A third attempt goes a little longer but something doesn't seem right.

Now I know problem why.

It's very old and now it's like really slippery.

The leather mouthpiece is old and slippery, not ideal for gripping.

Has Hercules bitten off more than he can chew?

I want to try one more. I don't know, but I will.

You do? He wants to try another. One more try?

CHEERING

The sign of a true champion.

And this is looking much better.

Just listen to the support from the crowd.

It's moving, it's moving! It's a struggle but it's coming.

Oh! Oh!

It's broken. I cannot do. Like every time slippery, go, go.

-Ah, OK.

-Sorry.

So Hercules didn't get the record for heaviest road vehicle pulled by

teeth, but to make up for it here are some other heavy-themed records.

Hey dude, have you heard about these records

that are like the heaviest in the world, ever?

No, dude, tell me.

# Wow, dude, this is so heavy

# Wow, dude, this is so heavy

# Guy Brooks was a guy from Norfolk which is in the UK... #

Oh, yeah, I've heard of Norfolk. Yeah, cool, OK.

# He decided he should be a record breaker in the month of May... #

Oh, yeah, like in 2011, right?

# He used his toes to lift 23kg of weight... #

He lifted stuff with his toes?

# That's like 23 bags of sugar,

# Which is sweet and totally great... #

Ha ha ha, cool.

# Wow, dude, this is so heavy

# Wow, dude, this is so heavy

# Well, who do you think has the heaviest tongue on planet Earth? #

The heaviest tongue? I don't know, man.

# A tongue that's so big that 50 people could stand on it

# That's quite some girth... #

50 people? That more than I had at my party.

# It weighs as much as an elephant

# I bet you can't guess right but this is fun... #

Fun for you maybe. Just tell me, dude.

-# Do you give up? #

-Yeah.

# It's the blue whale with a tongue that weighs about four tons... #

A four-tonne tongue? Whoa!

# Wow, dude, this is so heavy

# Wow, dude, this is so heavy

# The heaviest man weighed something crazy

# The same as six bouncing elephant babies

# And what about the world's heaviest bird?

# Was as heavy as a grand piano, that's absurd

# The heaviest squid, well do you know

-# It weighed the same as a golf buggy... #

-Whoa.

# These things are amazing I have to say

# Who could have guessed how much things weigh?

# Wow, dude, this is so heavy

# Wow, dude, this is so heavy... #

Well, I actually feel like I learned something. Thanks, dude.

ROARS

Here's another of my favourite bits from yesterday's show.

This is Ray Woodcock, a 71-year-old grandad

and great grandad who loves to push himself to the absolute limit.

But today he hopes to trump all his past achievements by smashing

the Guinness World Record for the

highest ever bungee jump into water.

You must have been bungee jumping pretty much your whole life, right?

First one.

-Your first bungee jump...

-Yeah.

-..is a 400-feet water submersion.

-Yes.

HE LAUGHS

What are you doing, Ray?

The original record was set from 50m in 2006 -

that's about here.

Ray is going for more than double that attempt

from the top of this 116-metre crane.

That's the equivalent of nearly three 12-storey blocks of flats.

While Ray gets ready, here are the rules.

Ray's entire body, excluding his feet,

must be submerged in the water for the jump to count,

and he must then be pulled free of the water by the bungee cord.

On Ray's first attempt, he fell short of the water.

Good practice for the first timer though, and he was on his way

up again quicker than you could say Grandpa on a bungee. Here we go.

They've lengthened the bungee cord,

so this time Ray should get a proper dunking.

On his second attempt there was splashy success,

but official adjudicator Eva needed to check the footage to make

sure he went deep enough.

However, before she could even do that,

Ray was up and off again, just to make sure.

The man is incredible.

Ray's already jumped twice more than any sane 71-year-old would,

but he's going to do it again.

Time for a third and final go.

Here we go. Three, two, one, bungee.

Hooraaaay.

Like a massive blue digestive biscuit in a huge cup of blue tea,

that looked dunk-a-liciously promising.

I think we could be looking at something pretty special here.

Adjudicator Eva is reviewing the footage.

Ray's looking confident.

Let's find out if the Grandad has grand done it.

It's a new Guinness world record title, congratulations.

He has!

To me, personally, Ray is an OAP - an Officially Amazing Person.

Fancy trying that for yourself?

I think you'd be silly to attempt anything of the sort.

But as this is Officially Amazing Extra, we're going to give you as

close an experience of doing Ray's jump as you can get on your sofa.

Stand by for the whole record-breaking attempt,

but seen from a camera attached to Ray's body.

Ooh, I'm starting to feel dizzy...

and a little bit sick.

Look how high we are.

Remember, Ray had never done a bungee before.

The people look like ants down there,

and those ones look like Decs.

Nearly at 116m now.

There, we're at the top and the gate is opened.

How terrifying must it be?

We're about to find out.

That's where you'll be viewing from,

falling all that way with Ray.

OK, the camera is on. Good luck.

I'll keep quiet for the fall so you can feel like you're there.

Three, two, one, bungee!

There's the dip.

Wow! Well done, you did it.

Well, I need a lie down after that, but there's no time.

Here comes an exclusive look at what's coming up on this

afternoon's brand-new show.

# We girls gonna run this... #

Meet Beci, Gemma and Rachel.

They're already world champions,

they all performed at the 2012 Olympics,

and today they want to become world record holders too. Greedy.

So we're here to break a record today. What is this record?

It's actually a double Dutch record, which all three of us are doing.

It's the most double Dutch snappers in 30 seconds.

-OK. I'm not quite sure what that is. Can you explain?

-Yeah.

Basically it's three of us doing the record, two turners,

one person in the middle jumping, and there two ropes.

Both ropes have to go under her feet at the same time.

So, Gemma, this is a brand-new Guinness world record.

How many jumps do you have to make?

The minimum we have to do is 100 in 30 seconds.

-So that's more than three a second.

-Yep.

-LAUGHTER

-That sounds really, really fast.

Will the team succeed? And will I be any good?

All will be revealed in this afternoon's brand-new show,

along with this lot.

# Well, our competitive guys keep balloons in the sky

# For as long as they possibly can

# Who'll come out on top

# And who will go pop

# The USA, Britain or Japan?

# Can this man get his wish

# And break a record with raw fish?

# These ladies skipping will amaze

# This guy's attempt is crazy

# And can Ben and Steve become one in a pantomime horse?

# It'll all be Officially Amazing. #
