0:00:02 > 0:00:05# Officially, officially, officially amazing! #

0:00:05 > 0:00:07Waah!

0:00:07 > 0:00:10Welcome to Officially Amazing, The Best Of The Bunker.

0:00:10 > 0:00:13Coming up... The Moffat brothers return

0:00:13 > 0:00:16for their most spectacular record attempt yet...

0:00:17 > 0:00:21..but first, our second team event of the series, in...

0:00:26 > 0:00:29..and things are about to get serious,

0:00:29 > 0:00:30with today's challenge...

0:00:36 > 0:00:40- This is a very serious team event.- Indeed.

0:00:40 > 0:00:44One team-mate will have their head sternly slathered in shaving foam,

0:00:44 > 0:00:48before sombrely attempting to catch ping-pong balls in the lather.

0:00:48 > 0:00:52Let's get the no-nonsense rules to this weighty challenge.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Only one 250ml can of shaving foam

0:00:55 > 0:00:57may be squirted onto the head.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00Participants must stand two metres apart.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Only one table tennis ball

0:01:02 > 0:01:04may be thrown at a time.

0:01:04 > 0:01:05And, to count,

0:01:05 > 0:01:07the balls must remain in foam for five seconds

0:01:07 > 0:01:08once the time is up.

0:01:10 > 0:01:11And the target for the new record

0:01:11 > 0:01:15is 15 table tennis balls caught in 30 seconds.

0:01:15 > 0:01:20Now, a serious challenge requires serious attire, so, as the catcher,

0:01:20 > 0:01:26I'm resplendently bedecked in competitive cape and swimming cap.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28Steve applies the shaving foam.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30PRRRFT Oh...

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Was that the cream, Steve, or was that you?

0:01:32 > 0:01:33Both.

0:01:35 > 0:01:38He'll be aiming ping-pong balls at my head

0:01:38 > 0:01:40once he is happy with the creamy coverage.

0:01:40 > 0:01:45Steve steps back to admire his work, and glory beckons.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49- Three, two, one, go! - KLAXON

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Amazing ping-pong placement from the Sizz.

0:01:56 > 0:01:58That's six in a row!

0:01:58 > 0:02:02Yes, just look at Steve's beautifully gentle lobs

0:02:02 > 0:02:04onto my creamy coiffure...

0:02:04 > 0:02:07..but his excellent early work may come at a cost.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09There's less space to aim for,

0:02:09 > 0:02:11and some balls are hitting other balls

0:02:11 > 0:02:15already lodged in my foamy crown.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Some could even be knocked off.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Watch this one hold on for dear life.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23It's hit.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Will it cling on to your frothy fringe?

0:02:26 > 0:02:28No-o-o!

0:02:30 > 0:02:31Turn.

0:02:31 > 0:02:33Steve opens up a fresh patch of cream,

0:02:33 > 0:02:36and gets a view of my noble profile.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Oh, another ball-on-ball misfire!

0:02:41 > 0:02:43Stop!

0:02:43 > 0:02:48That's time. Now they must stay stuck for five seconds.

0:02:49 > 0:02:50Team Japan are next.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53Cheeky's catching, so Cherry's throwing.

0:02:53 > 0:02:57And while the great man carefully builds his landing zone...

0:02:57 > 0:03:02Behold! The quiff has emerged from its foamy cage unscathed.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Cherry has loaded his ping-pong balls

0:03:04 > 0:03:06into his personalised popcorn pot -

0:03:06 > 0:03:09and look, Cheeky's feet are behind the line,

0:03:09 > 0:03:11but her head is bent over it,

0:03:11 > 0:03:14to lessen the distance of two metres.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17Very smart, and totally legal, Ben.

0:03:17 > 0:03:18- Go! - KLAXON

0:03:18 > 0:03:19Wish I'd thought of that.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Look how Cherry is keeping the pot close,

0:03:24 > 0:03:27so he can throw with real speed.

0:03:27 > 0:03:28Yes, maybe too fast -

0:03:28 > 0:03:31an early ball-to-ball collision, there.

0:03:31 > 0:03:32CHEEKY SPEAKS JAPANESE

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Listen to how he instructs Cheeky to tilt her head

0:03:35 > 0:03:38to reveal untouched foam.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42Oh, but he's smashed another sphere to the floor.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Wait, was that a double throw?

0:03:45 > 0:03:48It was. Two balls slipped from Cherry's grasp -

0:03:48 > 0:03:50one lodged in the splodge, but it won't count.

0:03:55 > 0:03:56Whoa!

0:03:56 > 0:04:01- Cherry just hit the same ball three times in a row.- Incredible!

0:04:01 > 0:04:04His aim is almost too accurate.

0:04:04 > 0:04:05Stop!

0:04:05 > 0:04:09Ooh, I think that last one was just too late -

0:04:09 > 0:04:11but that's the five seconds.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Team USA, step forward.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17Ray's catching, and Al's piling it high, here,

0:04:17 > 0:04:19for a really cushioned landing.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23Stick a flake in that and it would look delicious. Mm!

0:04:23 > 0:04:25- Go! - KLAXON

0:04:27 > 0:04:31- A fast start, here. - And they're landing nicely.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34Apparently, Ray's the catcher because of his agility -

0:04:34 > 0:04:36but he's not moving much, is he?

0:04:37 > 0:04:39With aim this good, he doesn't need to.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Apart from that time...

0:04:43 > 0:04:46..and also that time.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Sorry, Ray.- Right on the nose!

0:04:51 > 0:04:53- Oh!- Ray, face me.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Yeah, there you go.

0:04:55 > 0:04:56- Face the other way.- Stop!- Oh.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Can they all stick for five seconds?

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Ooh, yeah!

0:05:03 > 0:05:07Did any of these sudsy skulls snare at least 15 ping-pong balls

0:05:07 > 0:05:09for a new record?

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Official adjudicator Shantha,

0:05:11 > 0:05:13do we have a world record?

0:05:16 > 0:05:18Yes.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20Whoo!

0:05:21 > 0:05:24In third place, with 11...

0:05:25 > 0:05:27..is Team USA...

0:05:27 > 0:05:30Even they were just four off the target.

0:05:30 > 0:05:35..and in first place, with a total of 16...

0:05:37 > 0:05:38..is Team UK.

0:05:38 > 0:05:39THEY CHEER

0:05:39 > 0:05:40Yes!

0:05:40 > 0:05:43Not only our second team event triumph of the series,

0:05:43 > 0:05:48but our first Guinness World Records title together, too.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50They scored four more than Team Japan,

0:05:50 > 0:05:54meaning just a quarter of the bunker predicted correctly.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56And, with just three shows left,

0:05:56 > 0:05:58perennial champ Mr Cherry

0:05:58 > 0:06:00must be feeling the sizzling heat,

0:06:00 > 0:06:02because Steve is hot on his heels.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05Our legends will be back in a short while,

0:06:05 > 0:06:09right after we welcome back some more record-breaking royalty.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24Yes, Officially Amazing's most prolific poachers

0:06:24 > 0:06:26of world records...

0:06:34 > 0:06:36..return for a ninth appearance on the show.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41And, so far, they have yet to suffer the bitter taste of failure.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46Eight records tried, eight records smashed.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50But today, these daredevil drivers will be taken to the limit,

0:06:50 > 0:06:52as they attempt the record for...

0:06:57 > 0:07:01So, not only will Alastair be driving on two wheels,

0:07:01 > 0:07:05John will be performing doughnuts - that's skidding in full circles -

0:07:05 > 0:07:07around him as he moves.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10It's going to be demanding, dazzling

0:07:10 > 0:07:14and - well, this is the Moffats - very dangerous.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18Which is why we have a medic and a firefighter on standby.

0:07:18 > 0:07:23While the brothers get ready, here are the rules.

0:07:23 > 0:07:28The attempt must take place on a dry surface of asphalt or concrete.

0:07:28 > 0:07:32Both cars must be constantly moving throughout the attempt.

0:07:32 > 0:07:36John's in a circular motion going round Alastair's Mini on two wheels.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41And the record to beat is ten doughnuts in one minute.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43Here they go.

0:07:43 > 0:07:45OK, Alastair is on two wheels.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47Time will start when John, in the blue car,

0:07:47 > 0:07:49begins his first doughnut...

0:07:51 > 0:07:52Ooh!

0:07:55 > 0:07:57..and there is the first one.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00Absolutely superb skills from both Moffats.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03There is almost no room for error.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07But this is great driving -

0:08:07 > 0:08:10another doughnut done.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13Alastair has to keep it slow and steady.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17Oh, he did wobble - but still, John circles him beautifully.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24John must complete each doughnut

0:08:24 > 0:08:28in less than five and a half seconds to reach the target of 11.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Doing really well!

0:08:33 > 0:08:38That's halfway, and the boys have managed six doughnuts in 30 seconds.

0:08:38 > 0:08:42With just five more needed, that record is in touching distance.

0:08:42 > 0:08:47Can they keep their nerve, their speed and their precision?

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Delicious doughnutting.

0:08:51 > 0:08:52Come on, John!

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Watch as John locks the front wheels

0:08:54 > 0:08:55and spins the back ones

0:08:55 > 0:08:57to power him through that circle.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04This is a breathtaking balancing act from Alastair.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09But can he remain on two wheels for the full minute?

0:09:10 > 0:09:12This is going to be very close!

0:09:13 > 0:09:17Ooh, and speaking of close, how close was that?!

0:09:17 > 0:09:21John almost nicked Alastair's back bumper.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24That was just millimetres from a major Mini mess!

0:09:24 > 0:09:27Ooh! Such tight angles!

0:09:29 > 0:09:32Can they squeeze in one more?

0:09:32 > 0:09:33KLAXON

0:09:33 > 0:09:34And that's time.

0:09:34 > 0:09:39- Wow!- No idea how many, but it looks really good!- Wow.

0:09:39 > 0:09:41That was incredible!

0:09:41 > 0:09:45What a stunning spectacle of stunt driving.

0:09:45 > 0:09:47The boys seem in great spirits,

0:09:47 > 0:09:49but did they complete more than ten doughnuts?

0:09:49 > 0:09:52Over to official adjudicator Mark.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54On that attempt, you achieved...

0:09:57 > 0:09:59..12, which is a brand-new world record!

0:09:59 > 0:10:01ALL CHEER

0:10:01 > 0:10:04They broke the record by two doughnuts!

0:10:04 > 0:10:08That's nigh-on miraculous, even for the mind-blowing Moffats!

0:10:10 > 0:10:13That's nine records in six series.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16Surely the perfect ten can't be far away!

0:10:18 > 0:10:21And speaking of perfection, meet one of our top predictors

0:10:21 > 0:10:23in the bunker today, Tilly.

0:10:23 > 0:10:24For our final record...

0:10:28 > 0:10:31..who's she going to lock in the gunge tank of doom?

0:10:31 > 0:10:32Steve.

0:10:34 > 0:10:36Loving your work, Tilly.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40Ray and Cherry then commence some serious tandem tooting...

0:10:40 > 0:10:44Three, two, one, start!

0:10:44 > 0:10:48..but do they manage the 75 toots needed to break the record?

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Today, you managed...

0:10:54 > 0:10:55..53.

0:10:55 > 0:10:57Ohh!

0:10:57 > 0:10:59Well, you know what that means.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Yes - glorious, gungy scenes.

0:11:01 > 0:11:02See you next time.
