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

0:00:11 > 0:00:16Coming up - an equine extreme horse board slalom record.

0:00:17 > 0:00:21But first, a little bit of marble-lous magic in...

0:00:26 > 0:00:28Today's record is...

0:00:31 > 0:00:34Ray is rubbish with chopsticks and marbles.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36Here are the rules.

0:00:36 > 0:00:41The marbles must be moved between two containers, one metre apart.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43Only one marble may be moved at a time

0:00:43 > 0:00:47and only the chopsticks can touch the marbles. No hands.

0:00:47 > 0:00:52If they move 43 or more, it is a world record.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55- Three, two, one. Go! - KLAXON BLARES

0:00:55 > 0:01:00Go on. That's it. Strong start.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02I like this.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Two out of two marbles on the landing zone.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12Who is this marble-moving master and what has he done with Ray?

0:01:15 > 0:01:17Oh, no, there he is.

0:01:17 > 0:01:22This is confident chopstick work from Ray.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26He's moving those marbles almost like a man who can

0:01:26 > 0:01:30- use chopsticks.- And look at that precision placement.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34Precise but also ponderous and this is a time-based record.

0:01:36 > 0:01:38I might start a chant to speed him up a bit.

0:01:38 > 0:01:43US Ray, US Ray, US Ray! CLAPPING

0:01:43 > 0:01:45CHANTING

0:01:45 > 0:01:50- Five, four, three, two, one. - One more, Ray! Come on!

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Ray denied one last marble by the clock.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58And by the fact he dropped it.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02But could there be 43 marbles in that bowl?

0:02:02 > 0:02:05Who knows? We don't have time to count them now, Al.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07Steve is in sizzle mode.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10And he is, once again, using his special dish,

0:02:10 > 0:02:15last seen in the rice moving challenge that he failed to win.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17- Three, two, one. Go! - KLAXON BLARES

0:02:19 > 0:02:21And he's sizzling.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25Oh, he did not need to start like that. Whee!

0:02:25 > 0:02:28But that is a beauty.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32That's not. Atrocious chopstick-ing.

0:02:32 > 0:02:37This is not the sizzler we know and, well, that we know. Come on, Steve!

0:02:39 > 0:02:41Boom!

0:02:43 > 0:02:45This is much better now.

0:02:47 > 0:02:50Steve is nearing the coveted chopstick zone

0:02:50 > 0:02:53and the audience can clearly sense it.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56This is so much better, Steve, well done.

0:02:56 > 0:02:58Absolutely nailing it.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Spoke too soon.

0:03:02 > 0:03:07Five, four, three, two, one. Stop!

0:03:07 > 0:03:11Well done, Steve. Really well done. APPLAUSE

0:03:11 > 0:03:15A frenetic finish, but Steve was not at full sizzle.

0:03:16 > 0:03:18Will those mistakes cost him

0:03:18 > 0:03:22or could the weighty weight of expectation crush Cherry too?

0:03:22 > 0:03:27- Mr Cherry, are you ready?- No! Chopstick! Bah!

0:03:28 > 0:03:30ENGINE REVS

0:03:30 > 0:03:32What is going on here?

0:03:32 > 0:03:37It's a mystical Japanese motorbike mime, Al. Probably.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39As well as his special chopsticks,

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Cherry has brought a state-of-the-art

0:03:42 > 0:03:47wooden box from Japan, he wants this and he is leaving nothing to chance.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51- Is he holding his chopsticks the wrong way around?- He is!

0:03:51 > 0:03:55Surely he hasn't taken inspiration from Ray in the rice challenge.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57I would assume not.

0:03:57 > 0:04:01Three, two, one, go!

0:04:01 > 0:04:03He's off.

0:04:05 > 0:04:09And those supersonic upside-down chopsticks are ferociously fast.

0:04:12 > 0:04:14Oh, no! In off the rim.

0:04:14 > 0:04:19That was close, but Cherry hasn't put a marble wrong.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Each one devastatingly dispatched into his special box.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Notice too how Cherry is working from the opposite end of the table

0:04:30 > 0:04:31to Ray and Steve.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34This is definitely the faster round.

0:04:35 > 0:04:40Slow-mo Cherry looks quicker than Ray in normal mode.

0:04:40 > 0:04:41The audience can't believe it.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44Are they witnessing a world record?

0:04:46 > 0:04:48Cherry's first mistake, could that cost him?

0:04:54 > 0:04:56This is an incredible performance!

0:04:57 > 0:05:04Five, four, three, two, one. Stop!

0:05:04 > 0:05:07CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Wow! Wow!

0:05:09 > 0:05:13That was an unbelievable display of marble-man-ship.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17But did Cherry or anyone move the 43 marbles needed?

0:05:17 > 0:05:20Only the official adjudicator knows.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24Do we have a record?

0:05:26 > 0:05:31- Yes, we do. - CHEERING AND LAUGHTER

0:05:35 > 0:05:39Please reveal who got that record today.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43So in third place with six...

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Just 37 short of the record.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47..is Ray.

0:05:47 > 0:05:49Yeah, all right.

0:05:49 > 0:05:52And in first place with a total of 43...

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Equalling the current world record.

0:05:55 > 0:05:56..is Mr Cherry.

0:05:56 > 0:05:59HE EXCLAIMS

0:06:01 > 0:06:04Jubilation as Cherry scores his second individual

0:06:04 > 0:06:06world record of the series.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09HE SHOUTS IN OWN LANGUAGE

0:06:11 > 0:06:13Just look what it means to him.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15HE SHOUTS

0:06:15 > 0:06:19And that result sees Cherry extend his lead with only four

0:06:19 > 0:06:22rounds left in the competition.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25Now, from one record-breaking thoroughbred to another.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Meet rider Charlie and boarder Ross.

0:06:28 > 0:06:29Together they are four-time

0:06:29 > 0:06:31horse boarding UK champions.

0:06:31 > 0:06:33And along with racehorse Nabu,

0:06:33 > 0:06:35they are attempting the record for...

0:06:41 > 0:06:42Here are the rules.

0:06:42 > 0:06:47The racetrack must comprise of ten cones spaced ten metres apart.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50The horse and boarder must slalom around alternating

0:06:50 > 0:06:55sides of the cones and should any being - human or horse - touch

0:06:55 > 0:06:57a cone, the attempt is invalid.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01For a world record, they must complete the course

0:07:01 > 0:07:03in 25 seconds or under.

0:07:03 > 0:07:07This is an incredibly dangerous sport with a highly-trained horse.

0:07:10 > 0:07:13Do you think they will get the record?

0:07:13 > 0:07:1681% of our bunker guests think they will.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Let's see if they are right.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22Here he comes. Nabu takes a runner.

0:07:22 > 0:07:25The attempt begins when the front wheels of Ross'

0:07:25 > 0:07:27board cross the start line.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29And they are whizzing around the cones.

0:07:29 > 0:07:33Look how Ross adjusts the rope to maintain the tension and keep

0:07:33 > 0:07:36himself boarding at maximum speed.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40- And Charlie is riding Nabu at an incredible pace.- So intricate.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47This is a real test of Charlie's riding skills.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51Watch how Nabu has to adjust his footwork to go around every cone

0:07:51 > 0:07:55and how they lean together into the corners.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Oh!- Oh!

0:07:58 > 0:08:01- Oh! No!- No!

0:08:01 > 0:08:03Let's watch that last cone again.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06Ross should have gone round the left-hand side,

0:08:06 > 0:08:11but he took the right-hand side, that is an automatic fail.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Hi, guys.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16- So close!- It was. I got a bit cone

0:08:16 > 0:08:18dizzy and thought I'd done it.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21- I was like, "Yeah!"- No!

0:08:21 > 0:08:27Can they complete a valid run on attempt number two?

0:08:31 > 0:08:34Ross makes it look easy but it takes strength,

0:08:34 > 0:08:37balance and nerve to go at this pace.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43And look at Nabu's magnificent muscles in action.

0:08:45 > 0:08:47But he needs to stay focused on the course.

0:08:47 > 0:08:51Charlie needs skill and strength to keep him on track,

0:08:51 > 0:08:55guiding a 17st horse with such precision is not easy.

0:08:55 > 0:08:59Here comes the tricky final cone.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Yeah!

0:09:01 > 0:09:03And that is a valid run.

0:09:03 > 0:09:08Yes! No mistakes this time. But was it fast enough?

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Over to official adjudicator Mark.

0:09:10 > 0:09:15So, Mark, was it a world record, yay or n-a-a-a-y?

0:09:15 > 0:09:19LAUGHTER

0:09:19 > 0:09:25Well, Charlie, Ross and Nabu needed a time of 25 seconds or less.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28You achieved a time...

0:09:29 > 0:09:31of...13.005 seconds!

0:09:34 > 0:09:38Incredible from the human-horse-human combo.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41They almost halved the target time.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43Hyper-bullet horse boarding.

0:09:43 > 0:09:48And congratulations to the 81% of our bunker crew

0:09:48 > 0:09:51who correctly predicted they would do it.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Speaking of which, meet Ruby.

0:09:54 > 0:09:57One of our best predictors in the bunker today.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59Our final record attempt is...

0:10:03 > 0:10:06But which two competitive legends will attempt it

0:10:06 > 0:10:09and who is going into the Gunge Tank of Doom?

0:10:09 > 0:10:13Over to Ruby and the velveteen bag of fate.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18It's Sizzlin' Steve. CHEERING

0:10:19 > 0:10:23- Ruby, do you have any final words for Steve?- Good luck.

0:10:24 > 0:10:29With Steve in the tank, Cherry and Ray unite to sort and hang socks

0:10:29 > 0:10:32like they have never sorted and hung socks before.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36The target for socks is 19 pairs hung in that minute.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39And they manage...

0:10:39 > 0:10:41- 14. - GROANING

0:10:41 > 0:10:46Five pairs short, which is no good for them, but great for us,

0:10:46 > 0:10:50as it means Steve goes cruising for another oozing.

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Huzzah for gunge!

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