0:00:07 > 0:00:11Welcome to Officially Amazing - The Best Of The Bunker.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15Very shortly, we'll see this - skipping with humans.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19But before that, another record you can try at home
0:00:19 > 0:00:23in Officially Competitive - The Bunker Games.
0:00:23 > 0:00:28And today, our three legends attempt the record for...
0:00:31 > 0:00:33Let's brew up some rules.
0:00:33 > 0:00:36Teabags must be dry
0:00:36 > 0:00:40and thrown from behind a line 1.5 metres from the mugs.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42Starting at one end of the row,
0:00:42 > 0:00:46bags must be thrown one at a time into the mugs in sequence.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49And the target for a new world record
0:00:49 > 0:00:53is five teabags in five mugs in 30 seconds.
0:00:53 > 0:00:55The Bunker crew have made their predictions
0:00:55 > 0:00:58and 66% of them believe
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Ray will throw the most teabags into cups.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Ray's bagsied first go, and just look at him work that teabag...
0:01:05 > 0:01:08Oh! It's over to you, official adjudicator.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11Three, two, one...
0:01:11 > 0:01:12go!
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Ray's aim hasn't improved since our interview.
0:01:17 > 0:01:21Maybe the aerodynamics of those square bags aren't quite right.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25He needs a nice, delicate lobbing action.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30Are Ray's famed bulging biceps simply too powerful for this record?
0:01:31 > 0:01:33Anything is possible.
0:01:33 > 0:01:36Except Ray getting a bag in a cup.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Maybe a special song I've written will help him.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46# Go, Ray, see jar Throw far tea... #
0:01:46 > 0:01:49- Oh... - Unlucky, Al. That deserved better.
0:01:49 > 0:01:53And look, in desperation, Ray threw two teabags at once.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56There's no two for one on these bags.
0:01:57 > 0:02:01- Come on, Ray, come on now. - Got to get one.- Come on.
0:02:01 > 0:02:05Five, four, three, two, one...
0:02:05 > 0:02:07stop.
0:02:07 > 0:02:13Yes, that was TEA-rrible. Arguably even worse than that pun.
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Shantha officially checks the mugs and...
0:02:17 > 0:02:18no, nothing there.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24- Well, the only way is up.- Steve's gone for pyramid-shaped teabags.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28- Will they prove to be a better choice?- Go!
0:02:29 > 0:02:33- Yes!- Three throws in and Siz is already in the lead.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Legendary lobbing.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38On to the next cup now.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- Yes!- And that's two! This is it.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45Look how fast he's throwing.
0:02:45 > 0:02:46Yes.
0:02:46 > 0:02:50A terrifically tender toss into the third cup.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Yes, that target of five bags in mugs is in his sights.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56That's it, that's it, keep going.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59Oh, and cup a load of that!
0:02:59 > 0:03:04- That's four.- Those pyramid bags are perfect missiles.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07Look at that precise arc.
0:03:07 > 0:03:08- That's five.- Come on.
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Come on, Yes! Six.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Brilliant.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Three, two, one, stop.
0:03:17 > 0:03:22Brilliant bagging. He really put the T in Steve.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Wow. Let's see if Mr Cherry's chucking
0:03:24 > 0:03:27is better than your punning.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30He's brought his pyramids all the way from Japan.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- Go!- And he's using a plate to hold his bags.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37An incredible innovation.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Classic, Cherry, and that's one.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44Unlike Steve, Cherry's pyramids house green tea, not black.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Could that give him an advantage?
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Er, it doesn't look like it.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54That was 11 misses before he holed cup number two.
0:03:55 > 0:04:00He's got the crowd cheering. Can they inspire him to victory?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Maybe not.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Cherry! Cherry! Cherry!
0:04:06 > 0:04:08That's three. Handsome hurling.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Three, two, one, stop.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Well, one final teabag did loop into a cup,
0:04:17 > 0:04:20but it did so after time was up.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24So, Shantha, did anyone reach the magic target of five?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Do we have a record?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28Yes, we do.
0:04:28 > 0:04:29Ohh!
0:04:29 > 0:04:35In third place, with an invalid attempt and a total of zero,
0:04:35 > 0:04:37is Ray.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Ray's attempt at tea for two cost him.
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Well, that and his 18 misses from 18 throws.
0:04:44 > 0:04:50And in the first place, with a total of six correctly thrown teabags...
0:04:53 > 0:04:54..is Steve.
0:04:54 > 0:04:55Yeah!
0:04:58 > 0:05:02One of the strangest victory celebrations I've ever seen.
0:05:02 > 0:05:07But what a win, despite only 9% of the Bunker thinking he could do it.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Yes, Siz has bagged his first Guinness World Records title
0:05:11 > 0:05:15of the series and joins Cherry at the top of the leaderboard.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18Look at that. A cup of tea, anyone?
0:05:18 > 0:05:20No, thanks, Siz, because we must move on.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24This is Acropolis, the team of 11 astonishingly strong
0:05:24 > 0:05:29and flexible young men and women aged between 11 and 22 who compete
0:05:29 > 0:05:34for Britain in the spectacular sport of acrobatic gymnastics.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37This group of British, European and World Championship winning
0:05:37 > 0:05:41gymnasts have gathered at Durham Cathedral, a famed sports arena.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43- Really?- Er, no.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45To do some skipping.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49But instead of a rope, they'll be using...
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Whoa, a small human!
0:05:51 > 0:05:55Well, apparently so, because this is the record for...
0:05:59 > 0:06:03Acropolis has sensationally, but hopefully temporarily,
0:06:03 > 0:06:07split itself into two teams to compete for this title.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Let's hear from the two whirling human ropes, Finn and Georgia.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15Talk me through what it feels like to be a human skipping rope.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19- I imagine it's a little bit weird, right?- Just a little bit.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22- Are you secretly enjoying it? - It's quite fun.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25So, Finn, how's training been going for your team?
0:06:25 > 0:06:27It's good. We've been keeping a log of how well we've been doing
0:06:27 > 0:06:30and our time, and how many we've been able to do.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Jessie, what could go wrong?
0:06:31 > 0:06:33We need to make sure that, firstly,
0:06:33 > 0:06:36the skipper actually jumps over Georgia.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38If they slip, it's going to go all over.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41And you need to make sure that her back doesn't hit off the floor,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43or she'll end up with a bad back.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Wow. So, lots of risk.- Yeah.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48Here are the rules.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Only full 360-degree revolutions of the human skipping rope
0:06:52 > 0:06:54will count towards the total.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Any failed jumps will not count.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00The target is 40 skips in one minute.
0:07:02 > 0:07:06Dave the medic is on standby for this dangerous record.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09Remember, Acropolis is a highly-trained team
0:07:09 > 0:07:12of acrobatic gymnastic experts.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Do not try this yourself.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Can they break the record?
0:07:16 > 0:07:2054% of our wise watchers in the Bunker predict they will.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22And it's team A up first.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26So, the two bases, twin brothers Paul and Stephen,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29get to grips with Finn's wrists and ankles.
0:07:29 > 0:07:31And Marcus is ready to start skipping.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Three, two, one, go.
0:07:37 > 0:07:43Wow. They are flinging him through the air at a frightening pace.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Why have we picked a room with chandeliers?
0:07:45 > 0:07:47At least it adds to the drama.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52Look how high Marcus jumps to avoid collision with the flying Finn.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Sharp focus from the two bases. They are in perfect sync.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59That's it, keep it up, guys, keep it up.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03That's 25 skips at the halfway point.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05They are well on course for the target of 40.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08But now they're really battling against tiredness.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13You can hear Paul and Stephen breathing heavily with exertion.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Brilliant effort. And Marcus is feeling it too.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26One tired slip now could bring this awesome foursome crashing to a heap.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- Time!- Oh, lovely!
0:08:29 > 0:08:33What a dizzying display of hazardous high jumping.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Finn the human skipping rope looks a little dazed,
0:08:36 > 0:08:40but while he unwinds, let's see how team B respond.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Go!
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Unlike Marcus, Jesse is facing sideways as he jumps.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48Could that technique prove to be better?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50The bases, Liam and Angus,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53are whipping Georgia round at a startling speed.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58Absolutely phenomenal flexibility from this human rope.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Going really strong at the moment, this is great stuff.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Oh, a tiny miscalculation.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Jesse clipped Angus's arm, but somehow they recovered.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14They've matched team A with 25 skips at the halfway point.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17But the margins are so fine.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24You can see Georgia's T-shirt brush the carpet on some revolutions.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27The bases' arms must be aching.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31Jesse's thighs must be burning. Georgia must be dizzy.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Amazing!
0:09:33 > 0:09:35Can they keep going?
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Last few seconds.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39That's it, excellent.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- Big push.- Time!
0:09:46 > 0:09:47Whoa!
0:09:47 > 0:09:52Jesse bumped into Angus, but still somehow leapt over Georgia
0:09:52 > 0:09:55to complete a final skip without disaster.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57So, which team came out on top?
0:09:57 > 0:10:01And did either reach that target of 40 skips?
0:10:01 > 0:10:04It's over to official adjudicator, Mark.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08I can tell you, both teams exceeded the minimum required.
0:10:08 > 0:10:14The first team achieved 46 skips.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18That is a new world record, but there are no celebrations yet
0:10:18 > 0:10:22because we don't know how many skips team B managed.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25The second team achieved 48,
0:10:25 > 0:10:28which is a brand-new Guinness World Records title.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30They're almost too exhausted to celebrate,
0:10:30 > 0:10:35but what a contest between these towering giants of gymnastics.
0:10:35 > 0:10:37And what is this?
0:10:37 > 0:10:40It's a gunge tank, but who's going in it?
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Well, audience member Isabel decides to put Cherry
0:10:44 > 0:10:46into the gunge tank of doom.
0:10:48 > 0:10:50His fate is in the hand of Steve and Ray
0:10:50 > 0:10:52as they attempt the record for...
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Let's face it, Ray's rubbish with chopsticks,
0:10:59 > 0:11:01so there's only one outcome here.
0:11:01 > 0:11:05Yes! A gloriously gloopy Cherry.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06We'll see you next time.
