0:00:07 > 0:00:11Hello, and welcome to Officially Amazing: The Best Of The Bunker.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15Coming up, some amazing archery courtesy of Paralympic
0:00:15 > 0:00:17athlete John Walker.
0:00:17 > 0:00:21But first, our competitors tee off at a terrifically tricky
0:00:21 > 0:00:24challenge in...
0:00:27 > 0:00:29- AL:- Previously on Officially Competitive.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Cherry obliterated the competition in a record that
0:00:32 > 0:00:35used chopsticks to move food.
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Weird. Leaving Sizzler languishing
0:00:38 > 0:00:40at the bottom of the table.
0:00:40 > 0:00:44Today, they tackle the record for...
0:00:48 > 0:00:51Before we tee off, here are the rules.
0:00:51 > 0:00:55Commercially available balls and tees must be used, and both
0:00:55 > 0:00:57must be in a container at the start of the attempt.
0:00:57 > 0:01:03The record must take place on a surface of artificial grass.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05And once the 10 tees on the 10 balls,
0:01:05 > 0:01:06they must stand for
0:01:06 > 0:01:09five seconds without falling off.
0:01:09 > 0:01:14If they do it in 14.5 seconds or under, it's a world record.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18First on the fairway is Mr Cherry.
0:01:18 > 0:01:19Mr Cherry, are you ready?
0:01:19 > 0:01:21WHIP CRACKS
0:01:21 > 0:01:22WHOOSH!
0:01:22 > 0:01:26The traditional Japanese air golf preparation from Cherry.
0:01:26 > 0:01:27YELLS
0:01:27 > 0:01:30One, two, three...
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Ooh!
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- GLASS BREAKS - Ah.- Ah.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Come on!
0:01:35 > 0:01:37- AUDIENCE LAUGHS SHANTHA:- Good.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Three, two, one...
0:01:39 > 0:01:41- ..go! - AIRHORN BLARES
0:01:43 > 0:01:46DISTANT CANNON FIRE
0:01:46 > 0:01:50It's a nervous start from the big man. Those hands are shaking!
0:01:50 > 0:01:51HARUKA SPEAKS IN JAPANESE
0:01:51 > 0:01:54Nerves are kryptonite to Mr Cherry.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58He's struggling with his tees and it's hard to watch.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02This is truly terrible tee teetering.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05HARUKA SPEAKS IN JAPANESE
0:02:05 > 0:02:10It's all going wrong for Cherry-san, and the crowd can't believe it.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14Al, they've never seen the great man flounder before.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Oh, this is a nightmare!
0:02:19 > 0:02:21And now, the tees are knocking each other off.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26HARUKA SPEAKS IN JAPANESE MR CHERRY YELPS
0:02:26 > 0:02:29And that's it. Will they hold?
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Five, four, three, two, one...
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Yes! But that was not vintage Cherry.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38Have we come up against an impossible task?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Time for my tiny T Rex to show them how it's done.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44- Go. - AIRHORN BLARES
0:02:48 > 0:02:49And Ray is away. Come on!
0:02:52 > 0:02:54It's a bumbling start, though, Al.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57Ray's tees are diving right off the ball.
0:02:57 > 0:02:58WHEE!
0:03:02 > 0:03:06But Ray's fingers are fast and furious,
0:03:06 > 0:03:08replacing those slipping tees at an astonishing rate.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13His ambidextrous abilities
0:03:13 > 0:03:15are working to full effect here.
0:03:15 > 0:03:16Impressive stuff.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- Stop!- Five, four...
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Sizzler's looking worried.
0:03:26 > 0:03:29..three, two, one.
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Glorious golfing grapplage, and he knows it.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Last to tee off is the Sizzloid.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- Go. - AIRHORN BLARES
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Oh, a swift start,
0:03:42 > 0:03:45and Steve has chosen a lankier tee for his attempt.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Will that make a difference?
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Steve's stacking is sublime.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Apart from that one.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56We are in the Sizzler sweet spot.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01An infuriating fiddly task crushed by a superhuman focus.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09Oh, but Steve's attempt at a double-hander did not pay off.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Come on, Sizz!
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- Stop. - AIRHORN BLARES
0:04:14 > 0:04:16- Five, four, three... - Will they stay stacked?
0:04:16 > 0:04:18..two, one.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22- Yeah!- All right. - Nice!- Really good.- Nice job.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25A flawless flurry of tee balancing from the Sizz,
0:04:25 > 0:04:28apart from those flaws.
0:04:28 > 0:04:32We've witnessed three beguiling balancing acts.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36But did anyone beat the target of 14.5 seconds?
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Shantha, please tell me, do we have a record?
0:04:42 > 0:04:44- No, we don't.- Oh!
0:04:44 > 0:04:49Let's move on to the all-important competitive point. Shantha?
0:04:49 > 0:04:54Well, in third place, with a time of 48.55 seconds...
0:04:54 > 0:04:56WHOOSH!
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Over three times longer than the record target.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01..is Mr Cherry.
0:05:01 > 0:05:06Cherry in last place?! Such a rare occurrence, he can't compute.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07WHIP CRACKS
0:05:07 > 0:05:14And in first place, with a time of 18.65 seconds...
0:05:15 > 0:05:20- ..is Steve!- Yeah!- Yes!
0:05:20 > 0:05:22High five! Yeah!
0:05:22 > 0:05:25Discombobulated scenes as Sizzler celebrates by what can only
0:05:25 > 0:05:27be described as actual running.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28Woo!
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Yeah, he's going to need a long breather after that.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38Sizzler beat Ray by 5.63 seconds to leave
0:05:38 > 0:05:40the competition level on two points
0:05:40 > 0:05:42and one world record each.
0:05:42 > 0:05:43Incredible!
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Now for some amazing accuracy.
0:05:46 > 0:05:49This is astonishing archer John Walker.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53In 2012, he was watching the Paralympics on TV.
0:05:53 > 0:06:00Just four years later, he was at Rio 2016 and won double Paralympic gold.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02He's...
0:06:09 > 0:06:13But can John become Officially Amazing champion as he attempts
0:06:13 > 0:06:16the record for...?
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Here are the rules.
0:06:21 > 0:06:2412 balloons must be attached to the outer ring of a standard
0:06:24 > 0:06:30archery target. The balloons must be burst clockwise and in order.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33And the archer must be a whopping 18 metres from the target.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38That's almost as long as two double-decker buses.
0:06:38 > 0:06:39HORN BEEPS
0:06:39 > 0:06:41For the world record,
0:06:41 > 0:06:43John must burst all 12 balloons
0:06:43 > 0:06:45in three minutes or under.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48Shooting arrows is ridiculously dangerous,
0:06:48 > 0:06:51but John is a highly trained expert.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57John only has partial use of his right arm,
0:06:57 > 0:07:01so has to load the arrow and hold the bow with his left hand.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04He then attaches the bowstring to a clip on his shoulder harness,
0:07:04 > 0:07:08which will be released by one small tug on this ball.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11By stretching the bow forward, he draws the string,
0:07:11 > 0:07:13takes aim, and...
0:07:13 > 0:07:15..bull's-eye.
0:07:15 > 0:07:1876% of the audience are predicting
0:07:18 > 0:07:20a victory for the Paralympic champ.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22What do you think?
0:07:23 > 0:07:27John has requested complete silence in the room. I'll find this hard.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Time starts when John fires his first arrow.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43AIRHORN BLARES
0:07:46 > 0:07:48And it's game on.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50John gets off to a great start
0:07:50 > 0:07:54but he also encounters a few problems readying his bow,
0:07:54 > 0:07:56which loses him valuable seconds.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58Even so, he hits balloon...
0:07:58 > 0:08:00..after balloon...
0:08:00 > 0:08:01..after balloon.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05But can he score a clean sweep?
0:08:09 > 0:08:12AIRHORN BLARES Yeah!
0:08:12 > 0:08:14Look at that!
0:08:14 > 0:08:19Astronomical arrow accuracy from the Paralympian.
0:08:19 > 0:08:22Not one missed shot. But was it a world record?
0:08:23 > 0:08:26- You needed a time of three minutes or better.- Yeah.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28And that attempt...
0:08:29 > 0:08:31...was 3:07.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33- OK.- Oh!
0:08:33 > 0:08:38Discombobulation! Seven seconds from glory.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41Those tiny fumbles proved pivotal.
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Can John make it round fault-free in attempt two?
0:08:47 > 0:08:48AIRHORN BLARES
0:08:48 > 0:08:50And it's another perfect start.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59John's shooting with pinpoint precision.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05And he's hooking much more cleanly this time. Come on, John!
0:09:06 > 0:09:09He makes it look easy, but to maintain this
0:09:09 > 0:09:13level of accuracy over 18 metres is phenomenally hard.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18The yellow glasses eliminate the glare from our lights.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21And the blinker is to remove all distractions
0:09:21 > 0:09:24from John's peripheral vision.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27I'm not sure what distractions there are here, though.
0:09:29 > 0:09:30John's powering through.
0:09:34 > 0:09:35Just one...
0:09:35 > 0:09:36..balloon...
0:09:36 > 0:09:38..left.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39AIRHORN BLARES
0:09:40 > 0:09:42And boom, another perfect run.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45It looked great, but was under three minutes?
0:09:45 > 0:09:48On that attempt, it was a time...
0:09:49 > 0:09:52..of two minutes and 43 seconds.
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- You've got a world record title!- Yeah!
0:09:56 > 0:09:59A remarkable display of world-class bowmanship.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03Not many people can better double Paralympic gold
0:10:03 > 0:10:06but, John Walker, you just did.
0:10:06 > 0:10:12And finally today, meet the excellently named Ben, our audience
0:10:12 > 0:10:15member who chooses Ray and Cherry to attempt our final challenge...
0:10:17 > 0:10:21A wise choice, which puts the two best athletes
0:10:21 > 0:10:25on the bum-scooting track and Sizzler in the Gunge Tank of Doom.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29The target for this bum-bouncing 10-metre relay
0:10:29 > 0:10:30is a speedy 25 seconds.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34And Ray and Cherry are quick, but not quite quick enough.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37They're just 1.89 seconds too slow.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41A shame, because they almost broke the record, but also glorious,
0:10:41 > 0:10:45because it consigns the Sizzler to another gunging.
0:10:45 > 0:10:50Oh, I could watch this all day. But I can't, we've run out of time.
0:10:50 > 0:10:51See you again.
