0:00:02 > 0:00:05Officially, officially, officially... Amazing!

0:00:07 > 0:00:11Hello, and welcome to Officially Amazing: The Best Of The Bunker.

0:00:11 > 0:00:12Coming up...

0:00:12 > 0:00:15Hula Hooping heroics and a tonne of gloopy gunge.

0:00:15 > 0:00:19But first, we welcome back our three legends in...

0:00:24 > 0:00:26And I can reveal that today

0:00:26 > 0:00:28our heroes will attempt the record for...

0:00:32 > 0:00:36The custard cream, the bourbon, the ginger snap.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40In the hands of our legends, the humble biscuit could be the means by

0:00:40 > 0:00:44which they achieve record-breaking immortality!

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Here are the rules.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Any commercially available cream-filled biscuits may be used,

0:00:51 > 0:00:53sweet or savoury.

0:00:54 > 0:00:58The biscuits must be placed on top of each other, individually,

0:00:58 > 0:01:00to form a tower.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Once the 30 seconds are up,

0:01:02 > 0:01:05the tower must stand for a further five seconds without falling.

0:01:07 > 0:01:09And for the world record,

0:01:09 > 0:01:14our heroes need to stack 20 cream-filled biscuits in 30 seconds.

0:01:14 > 0:01:19So, who do you think will be the biscuit-stacking supremo?

0:01:19 > 0:01:20The bunkerites have voted

0:01:20 > 0:01:22and a whopping 44% of them

0:01:22 > 0:01:24think Cherry will win.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27Understandable confidence in the reigning champion who will

0:01:27 > 0:01:29open the competition.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32Mr Cherry, are you ready?

0:01:32 > 0:01:34I am ready! Go!

0:01:34 > 0:01:37Three, two, one!

0:01:37 > 0:01:39Go!

0:01:39 > 0:01:40And we're off!

0:01:42 > 0:01:44A tremendous start from the big man.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47Fingering those creamy treats with the authority you would

0:01:47 > 0:01:50expect from a four-time champion.

0:01:50 > 0:01:54CHANTING

0:01:56 > 0:01:58But look at his hand shaking.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Is the pressure of a live audience getting to Cherry?

0:02:04 > 0:02:09He is building at a phenomenal pace but that tower is swaying.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Oh...

0:02:11 > 0:02:13- Oh... - Four, three, two...

0:02:13 > 0:02:14Oh, and it nearly went.

0:02:14 > 0:02:17But some sublime biscuitry saves the day.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19Two, one, stop!

0:02:21 > 0:02:25Whoa! Did Cherry stack that last biscuit in time?

0:02:25 > 0:02:26And, more importantly,

0:02:26 > 0:02:30can his precarious pylon survive the five-second countdown?

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Yes! Unbelievable!

0:02:34 > 0:02:39A magnificent display of world-class biscuit-stacking.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42Soon to be beaten by my man US Ray!

0:02:43 > 0:02:45- I hope. - Go!

0:02:45 > 0:02:46CHANTING

0:02:46 > 0:02:47A confident start.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49That is three stacked and none eaten.

0:02:49 > 0:02:51Impressive.

0:02:51 > 0:02:53Great work, Ray!

0:02:53 > 0:02:57The view from biscuit cam is that of a perfectly aligned tower.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00Sadly, the view from every other cam is of some kind of miniature

0:03:00 > 0:03:02zigzagging monstrosity.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06OK, so it's not perfect.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07But it's still standing.

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Ooh! Think steady thoughts, America!

0:03:13 > 0:03:15What's he doing?

0:03:15 > 0:03:17He's stopped before the 30 seconds is up.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20He had no choice.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23When your tower is teetering on the brink of toppling,

0:03:23 > 0:03:25you stop topping that tower.

0:03:25 > 0:03:26Wise words.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29..two...one...stop!

0:03:29 > 0:03:32And the leaning Tower of...

0:03:32 > 0:03:34..Ray, survives.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Step forward Steve and his keks.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38That's German for biscuit.

0:03:38 > 0:03:42And feast your eyes on how meticulously Steve has laid

0:03:42 > 0:03:43out his keks.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47Not only that, he has chosen two different sized keks for his stack.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49Tactical genius.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Go!

0:03:51 > 0:03:52Poetry in motion already.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Just look how unfazed the Sizzler was

0:03:56 > 0:03:59by that early biscuit misplacement.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02He's a hawk-eyed speedster.

0:04:02 > 0:04:06Homing in on the next tasty target as he picks up each cookie.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08The Siz means biz...

0:04:08 > 0:04:09..ness.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11And just look at the roar of the home crowd!

0:04:11 > 0:04:15- CHANTING:- Sizzler! Sizzler!

0:04:15 > 0:04:17They're driving him on...

0:04:17 > 0:04:21..one German biscuit at a time.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23And he's on to the small ones.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25First-class cookie construction.

0:04:25 > 0:04:26Stop!

0:04:26 > 0:04:29And not a flutter during the five-second countdown.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35A superbly sturdy stack, and doesn't he know it!

0:04:35 > 0:04:38We've seen three towering performances.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40- Well, two.- Shh!

0:04:40 > 0:04:43But did anyone reach the world record target of 20?

0:04:43 > 0:04:46Only official adjudicator Shantha can tell us.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48Do we have a new world record?

0:04:48 > 0:04:49Yes, we do.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Yes! Oh!

0:04:52 > 0:04:58And I can confirm that two of our competitors broke the record target.

0:04:59 > 0:05:07But who has taken the biscuit and made history, nay, biscuitry?

0:05:07 > 0:05:10- Shantha?- In third place...

0:05:10 > 0:05:15..with a total of 12 biscuits, is...

0:05:17 > 0:05:18..Ray.

0:05:18 > 0:05:23Our first celebration of last place from Team USA of the series.

0:05:23 > 0:05:24Beautiful.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28And in first place,

0:05:28 > 0:05:33with a record-breaking total of 26 biscuit, is...

0:05:37 > 0:05:39..Mr Cherry!

0:05:39 > 0:05:45CHEERING

0:05:45 > 0:05:47A perfect start from the champion.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49One event, one world record.

0:05:49 > 0:05:50HE ROARS

0:05:50 > 0:05:55That last-second biscuit took Cherry out of reach, beating Sizzler

0:05:55 > 0:05:58by just one to start where he left off -

0:05:58 > 0:06:00at the top of the leaderboard.

0:06:00 > 0:06:04Just like 44% of our audience knew he would.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08Meet Hula Hooping hero Marawa The Amazing.

0:06:09 > 0:06:13Marawa already holds five Hula Hooping world records.

0:06:13 > 0:06:17She can Hula 200 hoops at the same time.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21She already holds the record for the fastest 100 metres hula

0:06:21 > 0:06:23and today, she's going for...

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Marawa the Amazing, welcome to Officially Amazing.

0:06:29 > 0:06:30Thank you for having me.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32As someone who is not very good at Hula Hooping

0:06:32 > 0:06:34where might they be going wrong?

0:06:34 > 0:06:35- With the hoop.- Right.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38- It's always the hoop's fault. - Always the hoop.- It's not you.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40When you want to spin it and get it going,

0:06:40 > 0:06:42a lot of people think they have to do some weird like,

0:06:42 > 0:06:45bend their knees and move their arms around and go...

0:06:45 > 0:06:47It's a very small, little, tiny push.

0:06:47 > 0:06:48And it's actually forwards and backwards,

0:06:48 > 0:06:50not round and round in a big circle.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Ah, so the hoop goes round, but you don't.- Yes.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54So Marawa is just checking out the course

0:06:54 > 0:06:57to see if it's up to spec for her.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59Obviously, she wants to make sure there are no divots or anything.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02- How's it looking, all right?- Yeah.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05I mean, obviously, she will be going faster than that

0:07:05 > 0:07:07and there is unlikely to be a dog on the course.

0:07:07 > 0:07:09I will tell you this.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13I ran it at full pelt without a Hula Hoop and it took me 7.5 seconds.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16And she has got to do the whole thing with

0:07:16 > 0:07:18a Hula Hoop in 10 or under.

0:07:18 > 0:07:20It's going to be tough.

0:07:21 > 0:07:23Well, there can be no hula without some rula...s.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30The hoop must be revolving before Marawa crosses the start line

0:07:30 > 0:07:32and must keep revolving throughout.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36She can't touch the Hula Hoop with her hands

0:07:36 > 0:07:40and if the hoop drops to the floor, the attempt is over.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42For the world record,

0:07:42 > 0:07:46Marawa has to hula 50 metres in just 10 seconds or less.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Can she do it?

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Well, our bunker brigade have made their predictions

0:07:51 > 0:07:54and a huge 84% of them think she will.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56What do you think? Let's find out.

0:07:56 > 0:08:00- Marawa, are you ready to go for hooping glory?- Yeah!

0:08:00 > 0:08:01For the record...

0:08:05 > 0:08:09..three, two, one, go!

0:08:09 > 0:08:12It's a fantastic start.

0:08:12 > 0:08:13She is flat-out sprinting

0:08:13 > 0:08:16and yet the hoop is gliding round without even a wobble.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18Sublime skills!

0:08:20 > 0:08:24She's making it look easy but check out Marawa's stomach muscles,

0:08:24 > 0:08:26they're working to the absolute limit.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30This is fast, this is really strong.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32KLAXON Brilliant!

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Great race, lovely stuff!

0:08:34 > 0:08:36That was ridiculously fast.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Let's watch again without the slow-mo.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41Go!

0:08:41 > 0:08:44No, I still can't figure out how she does it.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47She is guffawing in the face of gravity.

0:08:47 > 0:08:48Brilliant!

0:08:48 > 0:08:49Incredible.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53But was it faster than the 10 seconds she needs for a record?

0:08:53 > 0:08:55Over to official adjudicator Mark.

0:08:59 > 0:09:00It was 8.76 seconds.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03- It's a brand-new Guinness world record, thank you!- Yes, yes!

0:09:03 > 0:09:05Cue the celebration! Whoo!

0:09:05 > 0:09:088.76 seconds.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11She got the record with over one second to spare.

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Heavenly Hula Hooping.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15- Congratulations.- Yay!

0:09:15 > 0:09:16THEY CHEER

0:09:16 > 0:09:21Marawa, you're not just amazing, you're officially amazing.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25Just like the 84% of our audience who knew you'd do it.

0:09:25 > 0:09:30Including Jay, who gets a hi-fi from his hero, me!

0:09:30 > 0:09:33Dreams do come true!

0:09:33 > 0:09:38And what is this? It's a gunge tank, but who's going in it?

0:09:38 > 0:09:42Well, meet Andrew, one of today's bunker crew who joins us

0:09:42 > 0:09:43for the record for...

0:09:46 > 0:09:49And he has a very special task.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51Now, you need to make a choice.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Two of our competitors are going to be stationed here,

0:09:53 > 0:09:56hooking ducks and the other one will face...

0:09:56 > 0:09:58..the gunge tank of doom!

0:10:02 > 0:10:07Which of our three plucky competitive legends are you going to

0:10:07 > 0:10:08choose to meet their possible fate?

0:10:11 > 0:10:13Our brave warriors are reduced to begging

0:10:13 > 0:10:17in a desperate bid to avoid the gunge. Pitiful.

0:10:17 > 0:10:18Ray.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Oh! US Ray!

0:10:20 > 0:10:23LAUGHTER

0:10:23 > 0:10:26- Andrew, have you got any last words for Ray?- I'm sorry.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31Cherry and Sizzler combining powers at last.

0:10:31 > 0:10:32I have dreamt of this moment.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34I shall call them Chizzler!

0:10:35 > 0:10:39Meanwhile, Ray's excitement about being first in the gunge tank

0:10:39 > 0:10:40is palpable.

0:10:40 > 0:10:44Can Chizzler save him from a gunging by breaking the record?

0:10:44 > 0:10:47Chizzler does a fairly poor job of putting ducks, it's fair to say.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49And so the result...

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Joyous scenes! Unless you're Ray.

0:10:52 > 0:10:53See you next time!
