0:00:07 > 0:00:11Welcome to Officially Amazing: The Best Of The Bunker.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14Coming up, an incredible freestyle rugby ball record.

0:00:14 > 0:00:18But first, things are about to get very tense in...

0:00:22 > 0:00:25Today, our legends confront a challenge

0:00:25 > 0:00:27that beat them all last series.

0:00:33 > 0:00:34Here are the rules.

0:00:34 > 0:00:38Each competitor has 30 seconds to form a horizontal line of dice

0:00:38 > 0:00:40before lifting them with two fingers,

0:00:40 > 0:00:43which must keep touching the dice throughout.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45They must lift the dice to a height

0:00:45 > 0:00:48of at least 45.7 centimetres.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51And hold them there for five seconds.

0:00:51 > 0:00:53And the record to beat

0:00:53 > 0:00:55is a colossal 40 dice.

0:00:55 > 0:00:59Cherry's up first, and he looks focused.

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

0:01:02 > 0:01:07Cherry is using the dual-hand method to form his line of dice.

0:01:07 > 0:01:11And Cheeky's hair is so excited, it's bobbing around with joy.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14Cherry's constructed a crooked column,

0:01:14 > 0:01:18but operation dice dishevelling is go.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Precision is paramount in professional pinch picking.

0:01:21 > 0:01:25Five, four, three,

0:01:25 > 0:01:28two, one, stop.

0:01:28 > 0:01:30Building time is over.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32Now for the lift.

0:01:39 > 0:01:43The crowd barely dare to breathe as the great man raises his dice.

0:01:43 > 0:01:47- Cherry! Cherry!- Impressively, they can still chant, though.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51Cherry! Cherry! Go, go, Cherry!

0:01:51 > 0:01:54Now for the 5-second hold.

0:01:54 > 0:01:57But he's looking shaky and in pain.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59- Stop.- Yes!

0:01:59 > 0:02:02Cherry has conquered his Everest.

0:02:03 > 0:02:04And doesn't he know it?

0:02:04 > 0:02:07But here cometh the little man,

0:02:07 > 0:02:10my mini mountaineer, US Ray!

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Three, two, one, go!

0:02:16 > 0:02:18And look at him go.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21This is fastidious finger work.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Meticulous dice placement too.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27This level of precision impresses me.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29And so it should.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31Check out dice cake.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Luxuriantly long and linear.

0:02:34 > 0:02:38Five, four, three,

0:02:38 > 0:02:40two, one, stop.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43- Can he lift it? - You must lift the dice, Ray.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46A little warm-up and we're good to go.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Oh, no!

0:02:57 > 0:02:59Almost a drop, but he recovered

0:02:59 > 0:03:03and crucially it looked like his fingers stayed touching the dice.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Come on, Ray!

0:03:09 > 0:03:13Whoa, a spectacularly speedy lift!

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Now for the 5-second hold.

0:03:18 > 0:03:19Stop.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26That is the smile of a man that is delighted with his dicey deeds.

0:03:28 > 0:03:32Now to the Sizzler. Last time he pinched too hard.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Can he be gentle this time? Or is he too pumped?

0:03:35 > 0:03:39- Steve, are you ready? - Yeah, I guess so.

0:03:39 > 0:03:41Oh, he is pumped.

0:03:41 > 0:03:42Go!

0:03:43 > 0:03:49Head down, eager fingers, Steve is determined not to fail this time.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52He's barely allowing himself time to blink.

0:03:52 > 0:03:55Blinking is for the weak-willed pinch picker.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58Sizzler's will is superhumanly strong.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Steve! Steve! Steve!

0:04:00 > 0:04:03Five, four, three,

0:04:03 > 0:04:05two, one, stop.

0:04:06 > 0:04:10He added one more dice at the last second. He wants this.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12It's lifting time.

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Come on, Steve.

0:04:18 > 0:04:19Yes.

0:04:19 > 0:04:20No.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27Whoa! Did I just see what I think I did?

0:04:27 > 0:04:30He's completely changed grip.

0:04:30 > 0:04:33Did his finger stop touching the dice?

0:04:33 > 0:04:35And did Shantha see?

0:04:35 > 0:04:37A nation holds its breath.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40That new grip is working.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44I think he's going to make it.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48Even Ray is happy for Sizz. Heart-warming stuff.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52Nice one, well done!

0:04:52 > 0:04:54Well done.

0:04:55 > 0:05:01Three epic escalations. But did anyone get near that target of 40?

0:05:01 > 0:05:03Over to official adjudicator, Shantha.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06Do we have a record?

0:05:07 > 0:05:09No, we don't.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11GROANS

0:05:11 > 0:05:15But there's still the all-important point to play for.

0:05:15 > 0:05:17Shantha, over to you.

0:05:18 > 0:05:22In third place, with a disqualified attempt...

0:05:23 > 0:05:25..is Steve.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Shock waves reverberate throughout the Bunker...

0:05:28 > 0:05:31..emanating from Sizzler's furious face.

0:05:31 > 0:05:36Shantha did spot that Sizzy finger fumble before his successful lift.

0:05:36 > 0:05:39Instant disqualification.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41In first place...

0:05:41 > 0:05:44..with a total of 27 dice...

0:05:48 > 0:05:50..is Ray.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55US-Yay!

0:05:55 > 0:06:00Simmering Steve actually matched Ray's lift of 27 dice,

0:06:00 > 0:06:04but the finger fail gifts the point to Team USA,

0:06:04 > 0:06:06just as the audience predicted.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08And Ray catapults himself

0:06:08 > 0:06:10to the top of the leaderboard.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Which he could literally do

0:06:12 > 0:06:14if he wanted to.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17This is Andrew Henderson,

0:06:17 > 0:06:21a pro-freestyler who's worked with soccer superstars Ronaldo,

0:06:21 > 0:06:26Messi and even beat Neymar in a freestyle football battle.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29To perfect his mind-boggling foot juggling,

0:06:29 > 0:06:32he trains for five hours every day.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34But footballs are just too easy.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38So today, Andrew will freestyle with a rugby ball,

0:06:38 > 0:06:40attempting the record for...

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Here are the rules.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50A competition standard size 5 rugby ball must be used.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53There must be a clear space between ball and neck

0:06:53 > 0:06:54for a throw to be valid.

0:06:54 > 0:06:58Should the ball touch the floor at any time, the attempt is over.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01And the record attempt doesn't have to take place in a disco.

0:07:01 > 0:07:04But who doesn't love a glitterball?

0:07:04 > 0:07:09For the record, Andrew needs to do this 20 times in 30 seconds.

0:07:09 > 0:07:14Only 3% of the Bunker brigade think he'll do it.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18What do you think? Is everyone else right to predict failure?

0:07:18 > 0:07:22Andrew must start with the ball in position on the back of his neck.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Three, two, one, go!

0:07:26 > 0:07:29First one. It's so hard to balance the ball.

0:07:29 > 0:07:33Andrew does brilliantly to save that wobbly landing, but he's going

0:07:33 > 0:07:37to need cleaner catches to have a chance at the record.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42A good start, a strong start. But you can see how difficult it is.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45Righting himself each time. Come on, Andrew.

0:07:45 > 0:07:47This is much better.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Andrew's really finding his rhythm now.

0:07:49 > 0:07:5010 seconds.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Look how his eyes follow the ball in the air

0:07:53 > 0:07:55until the last possible moment.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58There is no margin for error.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00A good push on this now.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02Great rhythm.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05Yeah, he's kept it. He's kept going.

0:08:06 > 0:08:07Time.

0:08:07 > 0:08:12Oh, Andrew failed to make that final catch. Could it be a record?

0:08:12 > 0:08:17In order to achieve the record, you needed 20 neck throw and catches.

0:08:18 > 0:08:21On that occasion, there were 17 complete.

0:08:23 > 0:08:25So close. But early wobbles

0:08:25 > 0:08:28and that frenetic finish really cost Andrew.

0:08:30 > 0:08:32And it didn't get any better.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Attempt... Oh, never mind.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37..after attempt...

0:08:37 > 0:08:39..after attempt.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Time.- Oh, no!

0:08:42 > 0:08:43..after attempt.

0:08:43 > 0:08:48Until finally, almost one hour after his first failed attempt,

0:08:48 > 0:08:51it looks like Andrew is about to complete

0:08:51 > 0:08:53- a precision perfect 30 seconds.- Time.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57Oh! That looked good. That looked so good.

0:08:57 > 0:08:59Time as it landed.

0:09:00 > 0:09:02Oh, wow!

0:09:02 > 0:09:04Let's have another look.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07I can't take much more of this.

0:09:07 > 0:09:08Has he done it?

0:09:08 > 0:09:11On this attempt, you did perform 20,

0:09:11 > 0:09:15but the 20th catch came just after the 30-second mark.

0:09:16 > 0:09:21Andrew was just 0.36 seconds from glory.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25He is physically and emotionally exhausted.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Can he find the energy for one last attempt?

0:09:27 > 0:09:31Three, two, one, go!

0:09:33 > 0:09:36And Andrew has found his rhythm right from the start.

0:09:37 > 0:09:42He's glued to the spot and every throw and catch is low and clean.

0:09:42 > 0:09:46If Andrew keeps this up, it could be the one.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Andrew's in the zone, pushing through the pain.

0:09:52 > 0:09:57Just 10 seconds left and he's upping the pace. Come on, Andrew!

0:10:00 > 0:10:04- Time.- Oh, come on, come on!

0:10:04 > 0:10:08He gave it everything. But was it a record?

0:10:08 > 0:10:10On this attempt, you managed...

0:10:12 > 0:10:16..20, which is a brand-new Guinness world record title!

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Look at that!

0:10:18 > 0:10:20Absolutely brilliant.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23Barely anyone thought he'd do it.

0:10:23 > 0:10:25But Andrew never gave up.

0:10:25 > 0:10:28What a performance from Andrew.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31And the 3% of the Bunker crew who had faith in him.

0:10:33 > 0:10:34And what do we have here?

0:10:34 > 0:10:39Yes, this is Sizz finally in the gunge tank of doom,

0:10:39 > 0:10:42courtesy of Bunker brigade member Carly

0:10:42 > 0:10:46who picked him out of the bag of bait. Carly, a sincere thank you.

0:10:46 > 0:10:51This means that Ray and Mr Cherry attempt the record for...

0:10:54 > 0:10:58And, well, they start well, but it all goes wrong.

0:10:58 > 0:11:02And the result is gunge for Sizzler. Magnificent.

0:11:02 > 0:11:03See you next time.
