0:00:02 > 0:00:03# Officially, officially, officially
0:00:03 > 0:00:05# Amazing! #
0:00:07 > 0:00:11Hello, and welcome to Officially Amazing: The Best Of The Bunker.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Very shortly, our Competitive Legends
0:00:13 > 0:00:16will be battling it out for another record.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18And there will be gunge.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21But first, this incredible canine.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25Meet Jessica, the jumping Jack Russell.
0:00:25 > 0:00:27She can dance.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28She can barrel walk.
0:00:28 > 0:00:30She can skateboard.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32She can drive!
0:00:32 > 0:00:36And she can impersonate royalty with her best mate, Jacob.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39But today, this talented terrier
0:00:39 > 0:00:42will team up with her human sidekick, Rachael.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44To attempt the record for...
0:00:49 > 0:00:52How did you discover that this was one of her skills?
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I was playing with her, just asking her to jump without skipping.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58And then I thought, "She's jumping quite high, I'm going
0:00:58 > 0:01:00- "to give it a go."- So basically, you were there with a rope anyway...
0:01:00 > 0:01:04Well, I started off with a bit of sausage in my hand.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Just seeing if she could jump up for the sausage.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Many great stories start that way.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Jessica, don't take this the wrong way,
0:01:10 > 0:01:12but you have got quite little legs.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14Is that going to make things harder?
0:01:14 > 0:01:18They might be small, Shires, but I've got four of them.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20Ha-ha-ha!
0:01:20 > 0:01:26So, the record at the moment stands at a gargantuan 51 in a minute.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- That's a lot, isn't it? - That's a lot of skips, yeah.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32So, what have you been averaging in training, then?
0:01:32 > 0:01:35In training, we've been doing about 60, 64 skips.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- Ooh, so breaking the record?- Yeah.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Of course, in a pressure environment like this, anything can change.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42That's right, anything can happen on the day.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- I often get my foot caught in the rope!- Oh, really?- Yeah!
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Before Jessica and Rachael jump to it, let's get the rules.
0:01:51 > 0:01:55Jessica and Rachael must jump simultaneously over the same rope.
0:01:55 > 0:01:58If either of them touches the rope while jumping,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00that skip will not count.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02And the record to beat
0:02:02 > 0:02:06is a flabbergasting 51 skips in one minute.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10Despite this mammoth target, back in the Bunker,
0:02:10 > 0:02:1388% of our perceptive predictors reckon this pairing
0:02:13 > 0:02:16will be jumping with record-breaking joy.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18But do you agree at home?
0:02:18 > 0:02:21The time will start when Rachael begins the first skip.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Stay, Jessie. Stay.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Ready?
0:02:25 > 0:02:27And they're off!
0:02:27 > 0:02:29Look at this!
0:02:29 > 0:02:30Skippidy-doo-dah!
0:02:30 > 0:02:34This is possibly the most joyous thing I've ever seen.
0:02:34 > 0:02:36As you might be able to tell from my happy face.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Jessica sure can jump.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44Those little legs are propelling her so high,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46she could be bouncing over herself.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55Disaster! Jessica jumped too late, and her back leg snagged the rope.
0:02:55 > 0:02:58Valuable seconds lost, will it cost them?
0:02:58 > 0:03:01Eye of the tiger! Yes! Go on!
0:03:01 > 0:03:04Oh, no! Not again!
0:03:06 > 0:03:07Magnificent.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12And now, Jessica's jumping without the rope.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14They've completely lost their rhythm.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Yes, go on!
0:03:20 > 0:03:23But they're back in the groove. Come on!
0:03:23 > 0:03:26This is magnificent, this is poochy poetry in motion!
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Time!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Scintillating skipping.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32But was it a new world record?
0:03:32 > 0:03:35It's over to official adjudicator, Mark.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38The record to beat today was 51.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40In the time, you achieved...
0:03:44 > 0:03:49- ..47. - Oh, it's close! It is so close!
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Just four skips short of the record.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Those entanglements cost Jessica and Rachael dearly.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Gutting.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00But, after time out for a sports massage,
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Jessica is ready for one last attempt.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05This is it!
0:04:08 > 0:04:12Great start! Human and dog united in perfect motion.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Aw, Jessie, go on.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18No! Jessica's going walkies.
0:04:18 > 0:04:19It's a reluctant dog.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Oh, a superb recovery! That is not easy.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30And look at Jessica's tail, wagging with joy.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35They're right back on world-record pace now. Jump, Jessica, jump!
0:04:39 > 0:04:42Oh, no, did Rachael's heel catch the rope then?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Let's look at the slow-mo.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46It certainly looks like a foot foul.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49If Mark saw that, that skip won't count.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51They've strayed right off course.
0:04:51 > 0:04:55Rachael's exhausted, and yet still, they skip.
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- Right to the end... - Time!- Oh, well done!
0:04:58 > 0:04:59Wow!
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Did they reach 51 skips for a new record?
0:05:03 > 0:05:05We did need to disqualify one skip
0:05:05 > 0:05:09as the rope did catch your foot as it went under.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10You achieved...
0:05:11 > 0:05:12..50.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15And the disqualified one!
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Ugh!
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Devastation as that flailing foot prevents Jessica and Rachael
0:05:21 > 0:05:23from equalling the world record.
0:05:23 > 0:05:29It's subdued in the Bunker too, as only 12% predicted that sad outcome.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33Oh, Jessica, you're still officially amazing in our eyes.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35And at least you got a lift home.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36And now, it's time for...
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Today's record could have been made for Ray. It's the...
0:05:48 > 0:05:50Let's get the rules.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53This is what a jumping jack looks like.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57To count, the hands must meet at the top, and at the same time,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00the feet must be spread at least shoulder-width apart at the bottom
0:06:00 > 0:06:03before the contestant returns to the start position.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09And the record to beat is 53 jumping jacks in 30 seconds.
0:06:10 > 0:06:14So, who do you predict will be our jubilant jump-jacker?
0:06:14 > 0:06:18Well, our Bunker crew were clearly impressed by Ray's demo.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22But a surprisingly high 2% have gone for Sizzler?
0:06:22 > 0:06:24Oh! Maybe his mum and dad are in?
0:06:24 > 0:06:25He's up first.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28So, it's over to official adjudicator, Shantha.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Three, two, one...
0:06:31 > 0:06:32..go!
0:06:33 > 0:06:35Wait, what's this?
0:06:35 > 0:06:38The Sizzy Rascal seems to know what he's doing!
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Come on, Sizzler!
0:06:40 > 0:06:43No-one could have predicted this, Ben.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Especially from a man who thinks sensible shoes
0:06:45 > 0:06:48and casual slacks are acceptable athletic attire.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Just look at the concentration.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54He's putting everything into this.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58Fact alert - Steve is wearing an extra layer of deodorant.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02Presumably in case this 30 seconds of moderate exercise
0:07:02 > 0:07:04causes a tsunami of sizzling sweat.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Ugh! TMI, Ben.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08TMI.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12But Britain's little flower is beginning to wilt.
0:07:13 > 0:07:16Oh, and he's lost his rhythm.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20Five, four, three, two, one...
0:07:20 > 0:07:21..stop!
0:07:21 > 0:07:23And what a finish!
0:07:23 > 0:07:25Pure showbiz from the Sizz-biz.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Well, that was a revelation.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32Cherry's up next.
0:07:32 > 0:07:35Mr Cherry, are you ready?
0:07:35 > 0:07:37I was born ready!
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Go!
0:07:39 > 0:07:40Ooh...
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Ben's right, this is quick.
0:07:42 > 0:07:47Possibly helped by those aerodynamic leggings and spangly pants.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Cherry, Cherry, Cherry!
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Ooh, starting to get a little bit wobbly there.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56And what was that?
0:07:56 > 0:07:59He was going so fast that he lost control
0:07:59 > 0:08:01and collided with the Ramp Of Glory.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05That jumping jack may not count. Will that cost him?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10But he's recovered again and picked up speed.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Could he threaten the target of 53?
0:08:13 > 0:08:17Three, two, one...
0:08:17 > 0:08:18..stop!
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Oh, dear me!
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Man down!
0:08:22 > 0:08:23Cherry topples to the floor
0:08:23 > 0:08:27after 30 seconds of extraordinary, exhausting exercise.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Two unexpectedly impressive displays, then.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35The pressure is on US Ray.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36Go!
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Look at that speed.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43Impeccable technique.
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Ray's got this in the bag.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46Mesmerising.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50This is the difference between a real athlete
0:08:50 > 0:08:53and a man in casual slacks, Ben.
0:08:53 > 0:08:54Come on, Ray!
0:08:55 > 0:08:56Flawless.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01But Ray's feet aren't always coming together,
0:09:01 > 0:09:03and those jacks won't count.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Minor errors, Ben.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Time's nearly up and Ray's superspeed is showing
0:09:10 > 0:09:15no signs of slowing. This is a world-class workout.
0:09:15 > 0:09:16Come on, Ray.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Five, four, three, two, one...
0:09:20 > 0:09:21..stop!
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Textbook technique, as Ray jump jacks to the max.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28But did he do enough to earn a record?
0:09:28 > 0:09:31Shantha, do we have a record?
0:09:33 > 0:09:34Yes.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38In third place...
0:09:38 > 0:09:40..with a total of 44...
0:09:40 > 0:09:42..is...
0:09:42 > 0:09:44..Steve.
0:09:44 > 0:09:4544!
0:09:45 > 0:09:47The very definition of heroic failure from Sizz!
0:09:47 > 0:09:49We salute him.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50And in first place...
0:09:50 > 0:09:54..equalling the current record of 53, is...
0:09:58 > 0:10:00..Ray!
0:10:01 > 0:10:03My man has done it.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07And he treats the Bunker to a spectacular celebration.
0:10:07 > 0:10:12Cherry and Ray actually managed exactly 57 jacks each.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16But while six of Cherry's didn't count, only four of Ray's were
0:10:16 > 0:10:20disqualified, leaving him with a narrow, but record-equalling, win.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Just as 73% of the Bunker predicted.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26That's one win each,
0:10:26 > 0:10:27one record each.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29It couldn't be closer.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33And finally, why is Cherry pulling this face?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36Well, it's because audience member Owen here has just put him
0:10:36 > 0:10:38into our gunge tank of doom.
0:10:38 > 0:10:39Gungey!
0:10:39 > 0:10:41He seems fine.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45This means Steve and Ray join forces for the record for...
0:10:49 > 0:10:51However, there's far too much going coin toppling going on
0:10:51 > 0:10:54in this attempt for the record to be broken.
0:10:54 > 0:10:58Meaning Owen's delighted and, well, you know what comes next.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00Splendidly splodgy scenes.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02We'll see you next time.
