0:00:07 > 0:00:09Hello and welcome to Officially Amazing -

0:00:09 > 0:00:11The Best Of The Bunker.

0:00:11 > 0:00:16Coming up, I get involved in a mind and body bending record attempt.

0:00:17 > 0:00:22But first, the tensest record the bunker has ever seen in...

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

0:00:31 > 0:00:33Here are the rules.

0:00:33 > 0:00:36Standard-sized dominoes must be stood one at a time

0:00:36 > 0:00:38using one hand only.

0:00:38 > 0:00:43Dominoes must be placed within a designated A3-sized area.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45Once the minute is up, the competitors

0:00:45 > 0:00:47must topple the dominoes.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50And any domino still standing will not count.

0:00:50 > 0:00:56For the record, our idols need to topple a colossal 75 dominoes.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59My dinky domino-ist goes first.

0:00:59 > 0:01:02Three, two, one - go!

0:01:04 > 0:01:05And he's off.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11This is bombastic balancing.

0:01:13 > 0:01:18And he has the rock-steady hand of a champion domino stacker.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Ray has nerves of steel-coated steel.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23He's flying here.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29And he's nailed the tricky second bend too.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Perfect precision with every domin...

0:01:34 > 0:01:35No!

0:01:37 > 0:01:42One minute misplacement was all it took for total wipe-out.

0:01:42 > 0:01:44None of those dominoes will count.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46But he's still got time.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Three, two, one - stop!

0:01:49 > 0:01:50Ray builds a consolation row,

0:01:50 > 0:01:54but that tiny topple will not bring glory.

0:01:54 > 0:01:58Thankfully for Ray, attempt two goes a lot better -

0:01:58 > 0:02:00no mistakes and a lengthy line.

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Five, four, three,

0:02:03 > 0:02:06two, one - stop.

0:02:06 > 0:02:07- Yes!- Topple.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Now, the moment of truth.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12Boom!

0:02:14 > 0:02:17A titanic tumble from Ray.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18Can Cherry do better?

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Mr Cherry, are you ready?

0:02:21 > 0:02:23- Magic hand.- Magic hand.

0:02:30 > 0:02:33Is a magic electro hand within the rules?

0:02:33 > 0:02:38Yep, scientists have proved it has no domino-toppling powers.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Three, two, one -

0:02:42 > 0:02:44go!

0:02:46 > 0:02:49Cherry's electro hand is quivering with nerves.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54That is going to be a real danger

0:02:54 > 0:02:56in such a precarious record.

0:02:56 > 0:02:59Even the dominoes are shaking.

0:02:59 > 0:03:03But Domino Cam displays the face of a man who's determined to succeed.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08So long as he doesn't blow his dominoes over.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11Five, four, three,

0:03:11 > 0:03:14two, one - stop!

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Topple.

0:03:21 > 0:03:22Oh!

0:03:22 > 0:03:26Agonising! Cherry's topple was unstoppable

0:03:26 > 0:03:28until it stopped three dominoes from the end.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31They won't count.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33But the champion gathers himself

0:03:33 > 0:03:37and his second attempt also goes a lot better.

0:03:37 > 0:03:38Stop!

0:03:38 > 0:03:40- Topple.- This is huge,

0:03:40 > 0:03:43but will it topple?

0:03:46 > 0:03:48CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:03:50 > 0:03:52A dazzling domino display.

0:03:52 > 0:03:57But if there is one man born to achieve world domino-tion...

0:03:57 > 0:03:59- Go!- ..it's the Sizz-Master.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02Steve's lining them up the wrong way.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05It's a tactical master plan.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Was that part of the plan?

0:04:08 > 0:04:11No. But The Sizzler will not be beaten.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14He's right back up again, building another epic...

0:04:14 > 0:04:15Argh!

0:04:15 > 0:04:18He's going for pace over precision.

0:04:18 > 0:04:20It's leaving his dominoes wobbly

0:04:20 > 0:04:22and that equals disaster.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25But like a tenacious tornado

0:04:25 > 0:04:27who stacks dominoes,

0:04:27 > 0:04:29he just keeps on going.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31And now he's building a double track.

0:04:31 > 0:04:35This one domino will topple two chains.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40Steve has turned disaster into...

0:04:40 > 0:04:42A catastrophe!

0:04:42 > 0:04:46A third collapse and no time to recover.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49Three, two, one - stop.

0:04:49 > 0:04:51Topple.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55Steve's heading for last place.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58One more attempt and it needs to be big.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00And it is.

0:05:00 > 0:05:04Sizzler again gambles on creating a split in his domino line,

0:05:04 > 0:05:06and this time...

0:05:06 > 0:05:10Three, two, one - stop.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12- If this works, Steve... Come on!- Topple.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Oh!

0:05:17 > 0:05:18Yes!

0:05:18 > 0:05:21We've seen three titanic topples,

0:05:21 > 0:05:24but who demolished the most dominoes?

0:05:24 > 0:05:27And did anyone get near that record of 75?

0:05:28 > 0:05:30We need an official adjudication.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Shantha, do we have a record?

0:05:34 > 0:05:35No.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37THEY GROAN

0:05:37 > 0:05:41But there's still the all-important competitive point to play for.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Shantha, who's got it?

0:05:43 > 0:05:48I can reveal that there were just two dominoes

0:05:48 > 0:05:50between third and first place.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53Never have we ever been so close.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55So, in third place,

0:05:55 > 0:05:57with a total of 37...

0:05:59 > 0:06:00..is Mr Cherry.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06This could blow the competition wide open!

0:06:06 > 0:06:08And in first place...

0:06:08 > 0:06:11..with a total of 39,

0:06:11 > 0:06:15so winning by just one domino is...

0:06:18 > 0:06:20..Steve.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22Whoo! Hey!

0:06:22 > 0:06:23Sizzler!

0:06:23 > 0:06:26Domi-yes! Not domi-no, domi-yes!

0:06:32 > 0:06:33A hard-fought victory

0:06:33 > 0:06:34for The Sizzler

0:06:34 > 0:06:36puts him joint with Cherry

0:06:36 > 0:06:37at the top of the leaderboard

0:06:37 > 0:06:40with only two events left.

0:06:40 > 0:06:41Our heroes will be back later on,

0:06:41 > 0:06:44but first, time for me to limber up.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49I've been perfecting my contortion skills

0:06:49 > 0:06:51for the return of our next guest.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53Argh!

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Ugh!

0:06:55 > 0:06:57No need to get yourself into a twist -

0:06:57 > 0:06:58all it takes is a bit of practice.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02And it's amazing what you can achieve!

0:07:02 > 0:07:03Oh, dear.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09Today, we welcome back our favourite elasticated enigma -

0:07:09 > 0:07:12contortionist Claudia Hughes.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14We first met Claudia in series five,

0:07:14 > 0:07:17when she came within two seconds of the record for...

0:07:23 > 0:07:26- 29.47.- Aw!

0:07:26 > 0:07:30And today, this ludicrously limber lady is back

0:07:30 > 0:07:33and determined to crack the record.

0:07:33 > 0:07:34Here are the rules.

0:07:34 > 0:07:38Claudia must place each egg fully in each cup.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40She can use her feet only.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43And if she gets six eggs in cups

0:07:43 > 0:07:45within 27.42 seconds,

0:07:45 > 0:07:46it's a world record.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Claudia, welcome back to Officially Amazing.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52- Why, thank you. - Thanks for being so flexible.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Just a minute, getting comfy.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57How's training been going?

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Have you been breaking the record?

0:07:59 > 0:08:03Yeah, very, very close. Not quite, not quite.

0:08:03 > 0:08:05Despite that revelation,

0:08:05 > 0:08:08a massive 88% of the bunker crew

0:08:08 > 0:08:11think Claudia will get the record this time.

0:08:11 > 0:08:12What do you think?

0:08:12 > 0:08:13Go.

0:08:15 > 0:08:18Nice. That's what we want to see.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21Yes.

0:08:21 > 0:08:23And that's two perfectly placed eggs.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25What talented tootsies!

0:08:27 > 0:08:29Yes, it's a little plop and roll.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33Oh, no - there's trouble on the fourth.

0:08:33 > 0:08:35It's all too tight for her toes.

0:08:35 > 0:08:36And a tiny nudge has sent

0:08:36 > 0:08:39egg number six off on a roll.

0:08:44 > 0:08:45That's five in,

0:08:45 > 0:08:47but she's off on an egg hunt

0:08:47 > 0:08:48for the final one.

0:08:50 > 0:08:53Yes! Impeccable egg work.

0:08:53 > 0:08:58Could Claudia have done it in under 27.42 seconds?

0:08:58 > 0:09:01It's a time of 30.96 seconds.

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Oh!

0:09:03 > 0:09:06Just three and a half seconds away from the record.

0:09:06 > 0:09:09Can Claudia conquer her eggy Everest

0:09:09 > 0:09:11on the next attempt?

0:09:11 > 0:09:12Go.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15This time, she's placed the cups further apart,

0:09:15 > 0:09:19so there's less chance of her feet disturbing the other eggs.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25Could this revolutionary tactic help her dip below

0:09:25 > 0:09:28that magical 27-second mark?

0:09:28 > 0:09:32This looks fast, but she can't afford any mistakes.

0:09:35 > 0:09:36Ooh. They're all in!

0:09:36 > 0:09:38You see, that again felt fast to me.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Yeah.- I think the spacing definitely helped.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43- That definitely helped. - That one egg,

0:09:43 > 0:09:45just got caught on a flailing toe

0:09:45 > 0:09:47- and trickled away, didn't it? - I know.

0:09:47 > 0:09:51- Will it have affected the record attempt?- That might have cost me.

0:09:51 > 0:09:52Mark?

0:09:53 > 0:09:56- That was your fastest attempt.- OK.

0:09:56 > 0:09:57It was a time of 20...

0:09:59 > 0:10:02..5.45! It's a brand-new Guinness World Records title!

0:10:02 > 0:10:05Oh, yes! Oh, yes!

0:10:05 > 0:10:07Claudia never gave up

0:10:07 > 0:10:09and finally has a world record to prove it.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12Eggs-traordinary scenes!

0:10:12 > 0:10:16Now meet Kristoffer, one of our best predictors

0:10:16 > 0:10:17in the bunker today

0:10:17 > 0:10:19and the man charged with deciding

0:10:19 > 0:10:21who will attempt the record for...

0:10:24 > 0:10:27The bunker is in a Christmassy mood,

0:10:27 > 0:10:31even when Kristoffer puts Cherry into the gunge tank of doom.

0:10:31 > 0:10:36Oh! Kristoffer!

0:10:36 > 0:10:38Oh!

0:10:38 > 0:10:40Kristoffer!

0:10:40 > 0:10:43Let him go, Kristoffer, let him go.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Ray and Steve then embark upon their cracker crusade.

0:10:46 > 0:10:50It's quick, but is it quicker than the 20-seconds target?

0:10:50 > 0:10:52Today, you managed...

0:10:55 > 0:10:58..16.26 seconds.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02Ding dong, merrily we end on a high,

0:11:02 > 0:11:06as they break the record and save Cherry from a gunging.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08See you next time!
