0:00:03 > 0:00:06# Amazing! #
0:00:07 > 0:00:12Hello and welcome to Officially Amazing - The Best Of The Bunker.
0:00:12 > 0:00:16Coming up - an almost impossibly tricky juggling record.
0:00:16 > 0:00:18But first, shambolic scenes in...
0:00:23 > 0:00:28Today our fantasticals face a ferocious feat...with their feet!
0:00:28 > 0:00:30As they tackle the record for...
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Here are the rules...
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Competitors must walk for ten metres with their heels
0:00:38 > 0:00:41and toes touching, one foot after the other.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45If their heels and toes do not touch each other with every step,
0:00:45 > 0:00:46then the attempt is void.
0:00:47 > 0:00:52Ten metres in 10.58 seconds or under and it's a record.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56Who do you think will walk off with the win?
0:00:56 > 0:00:57Many of our Bunkerites
0:00:57 > 0:00:59are predicting a US Ray victory.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Despite the fact that he's
0:01:01 > 0:01:03clearly at a disadvantage with
0:01:03 > 0:01:04the smallest feet.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Cherry San goes first.
0:01:06 > 0:01:11- Mr Cherry, are you ready? - No. Power up!
0:01:11 > 0:01:13LAUGHTER
0:01:15 > 0:01:18Are electro-powered disco shoes within the rules?
0:01:18 > 0:01:22It's OK, Al, Cherry's shoes have no special powers other than
0:01:22 > 0:01:26snazziness and snazzy doesn't break records.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29Three, two, one, go!
0:01:29 > 0:01:31And he's off.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35The disco shoes doing their job of making Cherry look incredibly cool.
0:01:37 > 0:01:40Oh, he nearly fell over his own feet there.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43It's like tightrope walking without the tightrope.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Which is actually easier, but it's still tremendously tricky.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Cherry! Cherry! Cherry!
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Oh! Oh, and another stumble at the halfway mark.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- Is he going to make the full ten metres?- Cherry!
0:01:58 > 0:02:00The crowd are cheering him to the finish line.
0:02:02 > 0:02:07Oh, a dramatic denouement there as Cherry trips over the line.
0:02:07 > 0:02:12Now, to the man who could backflip this course - US Ray,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14show them how a real athlete does it.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Three, two, one, go!
0:02:17 > 0:02:21And apparently a real athlete does it in his socks.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23But just look at him go!
0:02:23 > 0:02:28Arms outstretched, knees bent, Ray's chosen the pretend to be
0:02:28 > 0:02:30a jet plane approach to heel toe walking.
0:02:32 > 0:02:35- Ray! Ray!- Go on, Ray.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40Oh, a flounder and a stumble at that tricky halfway point.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Ray's struggling,
0:02:41 > 0:02:43but this is furiously fast footwork.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Ray's not heel toe walking,
0:02:46 > 0:02:48he's heel toe running.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52And he somersaults over the line.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57A spectacular finish followed by high-fives for the crowd.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01But did Ray heel toe walk the full ten metres?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Shantha was in prime position.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Is a roly-poly valid?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09Now, bring me some sizzling feet.
0:03:09 > 0:03:12A lifetime of walking has led to this moment
0:03:12 > 0:03:16and he's licking his lips in anticipation.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19- Sensible walking shoes at the ready. - Go!
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Go on, Steve.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23This is precision pacing from Steve.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25The man knows how to walk,
0:03:25 > 0:03:26albeit slowly.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Go on, Sizzler. Oh!
0:03:31 > 0:03:32But if there's one man who could
0:03:32 > 0:03:34fall over thin air, it's Steve.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39But he does recover.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Sizzler! Sizzler!
0:03:41 > 0:03:43The home crowd are loving it.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48And rightly so with those footwork fireworks. Yeah!
0:03:48 > 0:03:50And he's over the line
0:03:50 > 0:03:53and the first competitor to cross it in an orderly fashion.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Slow and steady, that's my Sizz.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Well, we've had three heroic hikes,
0:03:58 > 0:04:03but did anyone do it in under 10.58 seconds?
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Shantha, do we have a record?
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- No.- Oh!
0:04:08 > 0:04:10However, there is still
0:04:10 > 0:04:14that all-important competitive point to play for.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Shantha, who's got it?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Mr Cherry...
0:04:18 > 0:04:24..you did an invalid attempt so you are disqualified.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32Astonishment echoes through the Bunker as Cherry is quite
0:04:32 > 0:04:34literally floored.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36He recorded the fastest time.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39But was disqualified for numerous
0:04:39 > 0:04:41incidents of disco heel
0:04:41 > 0:04:43not touching disco toe.
0:04:43 > 0:04:47So it's Ray's socks versus Steve's sensible shoes.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Ray, you did an invalid attempt
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- so you were disqualified. - Unbelievable.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Well, he foot-faulted repeatedly
0:04:58 > 0:05:00and didn't complete the course.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01Oh, yeah.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04This means there can be only one winner,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07slow and steady has won the day.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Steve...- Come on.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11..you did an invalid attempt
0:05:11 > 0:05:14so you were also disqualified.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Oh. Steve messed it up as well.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21The Bunker crew are dumbfounded.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26We have a triple DQ situation, people. What does this mean?
0:05:26 > 0:05:28It means they're all rubbish.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31They've brought shame on this once noble competition
0:05:31 > 0:05:33and no-one gets a point.
0:05:33 > 0:05:34Right, what's next?
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Juggling - not easy.
0:05:39 > 0:05:40So, of course,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43I've been asked to do it for the whole of the introduction.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Anyway, we're here today to see
0:05:47 > 0:05:49some circus performers who are rather...
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Yeah, take that! ..rather good at juggling.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54So good, in fact, the record that they're going to do doesn't just
0:05:54 > 0:05:58involve juggling, it also involves leapfrogging over each other.
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Typical. Rubbing it in.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Yes, today we've caught up with the world-famous
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Moscow State Circus to meet
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Ilya, Olga,
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Rinat and Linar.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Four genius jugglers from Russia.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21They can juggle on barrels, juggle with their feet,
0:06:21 > 0:06:25and juggle while playing my favourite pastime - leapfrog.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Which brings us to their record attempt...
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Olga will lead the juggling while Ilya, Linar
0:06:36 > 0:06:41and Rinat take turns to leapfrog each other 20 times.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43It's a big ask under the big top.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45Here are the rules.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Six clubs must be juggled continuously throughout the attempt.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52If a club is dropped, the attempt is over.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54And if they complete 20 leapfrogs in
0:06:54 > 0:06:57one minute or under, it's a record.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59So, do you think they can do it?
0:06:59 > 0:07:04An unprecedented 95% of the Bunker crew think they can.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07The team begin juggling to find their rhythm,
0:07:07 > 0:07:10but the time won't start until the first leapfrog.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13KLAXON SOUNDS And there it is.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18And that's two and three leapfrogs down. Well, up, over and down.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20That's six in under ten seconds.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22But they've run out of space
0:07:22 > 0:07:26so they need to retreat before starting a second set of six.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33This really is unbelievably complex.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Watch what each leaper has to do.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Here Linar catches clubs from Olga
0:07:38 > 0:07:40and Ilya as he leaps.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43He juggles, then throws one to Olga
0:07:43 > 0:07:45and one to the leaping Rinat
0:07:45 > 0:07:48before finally lobbing a last club
0:07:48 > 0:07:50to Olga through Rinat's legs!
0:07:52 > 0:07:54And all that at lightning speed.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Flabbergasting club flinging.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Not forgetting Olga who holds a superbly steady juggling rhythm
0:08:01 > 0:08:04while walking backwards.
0:08:04 > 0:08:0612 leaps at the halfway point.
0:08:06 > 0:08:08That's beyond world-record pace.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Just a few more needed here.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18And that's 17. They're going to smash it on the first attempt...
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Oh, no!
0:08:20 > 0:08:23They were heart-breakingly close.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25But that club slips from Ilya's hand.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31Just two leaps from glory and doesn't Ilya know it.
0:08:31 > 0:08:32So, a second try then.
0:08:34 > 0:08:38Oh, but that's an early drop.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41A third go, but club meets floor once more.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Olga does not look impressed.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46These are some of the world's best jugglers,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49but even they can't pull off this intricate record.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54With doubts in mind, they're having one final go.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00Impeccable work so far.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04And that's the first six down. Come on!
0:09:07 > 0:09:09And the leapers are on fine form.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14That's 12 leaps before the halfway point.
0:09:14 > 0:09:15The record is on,
0:09:15 > 0:09:18but fatigue is a real danger now.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28That's 18, equalling their best attempt yet.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30Just two more needed.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35And that's 20. Yes.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38A huge achievement in itself,
0:09:38 > 0:09:42but did they do it in under one minute for the world record?
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Over to official ringmaster Mark.
0:09:45 > 0:09:47You achieved a time...
0:09:48 > 0:09:51..of 58.25 seconds, which is a brand-new world record.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55They cut it fine,
0:09:55 > 0:09:59but what joyful jumpy jugglery from these circus sensations.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03Now, meet Jessica, our chosen predictor of the day
0:10:03 > 0:10:07and our best decision maker yet.
0:10:07 > 0:10:08Our final record is...
0:10:13 > 0:10:16And, wisely, she's chosen Steve and Cherry to attempt it,
0:10:16 > 0:10:20leaving rubbish chopsticker Ray in the gunge tank of doom.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Only a time of less than 35 seconds
0:10:23 > 0:10:25can save him from getting a gunging.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27But just look at this...
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Today, you managed...
0:10:32 > 0:10:34..34.58 seconds.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37They did it!
0:10:37 > 0:10:40The first joint record for our competitors
0:10:40 > 0:10:43and a great way to end the show. See you next time.
