0:00:02 > 0:00:05# Officially, officially, officially... Amazing! #

0:00:07 > 0:00:10Welcome to Officially Amazing - The Best Of The Bunker.

0:00:10 > 0:00:15Still to come - this man goes water-skiing using his bare feet.

0:00:15 > 0:00:21Before that, though, the first team event of the series. Oh, no!

0:00:28 > 0:00:32The Sizzler proved quickest at the ancient art of balancing

0:00:32 > 0:00:34golf tees on golf balls.

0:00:35 > 0:00:39Which means we have a three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard.

0:00:39 > 0:00:43But someone will surely step out from the pack after today's

0:00:43 > 0:00:44tasty challenge...

0:00:49 > 0:00:54A team event. Good news for Team USA. Less so for Team UK.

0:00:55 > 0:00:57Yes, let's be honest.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00When Sizz and I have teamed up for record attempts in the past,

0:01:00 > 0:01:02things have not always gone well.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05You've never won a team event, have you, Ben?

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Yes, yes, all right, Al!

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Let's just get the rules.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12One contestant must be blindfolded before passing their arms

0:01:12 > 0:01:15under the arms of their team-mate, who can see.

0:01:15 > 0:01:19The seeing contestant can only give verbal instructions,

0:01:19 > 0:01:22and the sandwich must be made in this exact order.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26Both slices of bread must be fully buttered before a slice of ham,

0:01:26 > 0:01:29then cheese, then tomatoes are laid on top.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32Followed by a cocktail flag to finish.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Poorly made sandwiches will be disqualified.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39The sandwich must be made in under 48.38 seconds.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Just 18% of our audience think Steve and Ben will triumph

0:01:44 > 0:01:46in this tasty tea-time test.

0:01:48 > 0:01:49But what do you think?

0:01:49 > 0:01:51Team USA are up first.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55Ray will be the eyes, and will give instructions to blind-folded Al

0:01:55 > 0:01:57and his sandwich-making hands.

0:01:57 > 0:02:00It's over to official adjudicator Shantha.

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

0:02:02 > 0:02:04Right there, grab it.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06Bread - nailed.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09You got it, man. You got it. Knife right there.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Those slices must be buttered to all corners.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Al, do you think you have enough butter there?

0:02:14 > 0:02:16I'm leaving nothing to chance.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Also, I can't see, so I don't know.

0:02:19 > 0:02:20Cool, cool. Grab the ham.

0:02:20 > 0:02:21Grab the ham.

0:02:21 > 0:02:23Al moves on to handle the ham.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Yeah, there we go. All right, grab that cheese.

0:02:27 > 0:02:28Get that cheese, Al. Come on, Al!

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Al has actual butter fingers!

0:02:30 > 0:02:33And can't get the wrapping off the cheese.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36No, no, no, be careful. Don't rip the cheese. There we go.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Be careful. Right there, right there.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43Al has finally released his cheese, but he's also torn it,

0:02:43 > 0:02:46and not all of it's in the sandwich.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Shantha may not be impressed.

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Yep, yep. Flip it.

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Turn it.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55- A bit more. One more rotation. - Oh, dear.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57Bit of a sarnie setback here.

0:02:57 > 0:02:58This isn't easy, Ben!

0:02:59 > 0:03:01- Stop!- Yeah!

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Well, that was certainly enthusiastic.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07Thanks, Ben.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11Poor Shantha is left to inspect Team USA's sorry sandwich.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15But now I can stand back and watch Team UK implode.

0:03:15 > 0:03:17Again.

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Steve's the hands, Ben's the eyes.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22- Go!- All right, Steve. We need the bread. Here it is.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25Go on. Tear into it, Steve, like you tear into those records.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27Steve tosses aside the loaf.

0:03:27 > 0:03:29He means business!

0:03:29 > 0:03:31That's nice. That's the first slice.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Yeah, lovely, lovely, lovely.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36Beautiful butter work from The Sizzler!

0:03:36 > 0:03:38The ham's on.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40But the cheese is buried!

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Move it. Another slice. Go, go.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46All thanks to Steve's impetuous loaf-lobbing at the start.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48Down the other side.

0:03:48 > 0:03:50Steve's unwrapping is super slow.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52Can we move over? And it goes there.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56But admire how neat and delicious it looks.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Great, Steve. That's lovely. One down there.

0:03:58 > 0:04:02Top tomato topping there. Just bread and flag to go.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05Bread goes down. That's lovely. Is victory within our buttery grasp?

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Stick it in the bread... Yes!

0:04:09 > 0:04:11Savour the sight of our superior sarnie!

0:04:12 > 0:04:16Look at it compared to your mashed-up mess.

0:04:16 > 0:04:20Well, you may have had the finesse, but did you have the speed?

0:04:20 > 0:04:24We won't know until after Cheeky and Cherry's first team event ever.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26Go!

0:04:27 > 0:04:29SHE SPEAKS JAPANESE

0:04:29 > 0:04:31He's struggling to get that lid off.

0:04:33 > 0:04:37Different tactic here as Cherry holds his bread while buttering it.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42But is that thumb preventing complete coverage?

0:04:42 > 0:04:45To be valid, the butter must be spread all over the bread.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48I wonder what Cheeky's saying to him.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Only one way to find out.

0:04:50 > 0:04:52TELEPHONE DIALLING

0:04:54 > 0:04:55- Hello.- Hi, Haruka. Could you

0:04:55 > 0:04:57translate what Cheeky is saying for us?

0:04:59 > 0:05:03Sounds like she's instructing Mr Cherry on how to make a sandwich.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Thanks, Haruka.

0:05:05 > 0:05:06Love to the baby!

0:05:06 > 0:05:07- Bye!- Bye...

0:05:07 > 0:05:09There you go, Ben.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11Brilliant. Whatever she's saying, it's working.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15Oh, but there's an errant tomato slice!

0:05:16 > 0:05:18It's back in.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20- CHEERING - And done.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22Super sanger sorcery!

0:05:22 > 0:05:25But will all the sandwiches pass official adjudicator

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Shantha's stringent sarnie standards?

0:05:28 > 0:05:30And do we have a record?

0:05:31 > 0:05:32No.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Oh!

0:05:35 > 0:05:39There's still the all-important competitive point to play for.

0:05:39 > 0:05:40Team USA...

0:05:42 > 0:05:48..you had an invalid attempt because you ripped your cheese.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50So you are disqualified.

0:05:50 > 0:05:54Yes, and sadly it's not the first time Team USA has ripped

0:05:54 > 0:05:56the cheese today either.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58- FLATULENCE - Oh, yeah, sorry about that.- Ugh!

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Team Japan...

0:06:01 > 0:06:05..you had an invalid attempt

0:06:05 > 0:06:08because you did not fully butter

0:06:08 > 0:06:10your bread.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12Oh, Shantha!

0:06:12 > 0:06:14Shantha!

0:06:14 > 0:06:15Cherry looks distraught.

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Team UK,

0:06:17 > 0:06:19you had a valid attempt.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22And a time of two minutes and one second.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26- Look at that!- Look at that, Ben!

0:06:26 > 0:06:28At last!

0:06:28 > 0:06:30Unbelievable.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33In a team of two records fraught with failures,

0:06:33 > 0:06:35none were committed by Team UK!

0:06:35 > 0:06:38Two wins on the trot sends Steve storming to the

0:06:38 > 0:06:40top of the leaderboard.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42The British are coming!

0:06:44 > 0:06:45But now...

0:06:45 > 0:06:49This is Ted Baber, a champion barefoot water-skier.

0:06:49 > 0:06:53Which is basically water-skiing, but without skis!

0:06:53 > 0:06:56That means Ted is skidding along the top of the water at high

0:06:56 > 0:06:59speed with nothing at all on his feet.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Not even a pair of socks!

0:07:01 > 0:07:03Today, he's attempting the record for...

0:07:09 > 0:07:12And this is what a tumble turn looks like when you are water-skiing.

0:07:14 > 0:07:19But if he fails, he could always try a longest bum slide record.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Seat-of-the-pants stuff.

0:07:22 > 0:07:24Here are the rules.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28Each tumble turn must be a full 360 degree rotation,

0:07:28 > 0:07:31starting and ending in a standing position

0:07:31 > 0:07:33like that.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35No footwear is permitted.

0:07:35 > 0:07:39And the target is 17 tumble turns in 30 seconds.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43This is a dangerous record!

0:07:43 > 0:07:44So we have a safety boat

0:07:44 > 0:07:48and a tiny paramedic on standby.

0:07:49 > 0:07:54Back in The Bunker, a monumental 85% think Ted will be a tumbling

0:07:54 > 0:07:57triumph, but what do you reckon?

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Let's see how he does.

0:07:59 > 0:08:02The arm on the side of the boat allows Ted to ski next to it

0:08:02 > 0:08:03rather than behind.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06And he's close enough to be able to communicate

0:08:06 > 0:08:09with his experienced driver, Rod.

0:08:09 > 0:08:12Remember, Ted is a trained professional who's been doing

0:08:12 > 0:08:14this for years.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Whilst Ted is ready,

0:08:17 > 0:08:20he'll give official adjudicator Mark the nod to start the clock.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24And he's off!

0:08:24 > 0:08:27And straight away, he's into his tumble turns.

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Remember, it's 17 needed for the record,

0:08:30 > 0:08:33so Ted needs to rotate quicker than once every two seconds.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Oh, look at him go! Look at that!

0:08:37 > 0:08:39Look at this!

0:08:39 > 0:08:41He starts on his feet,

0:08:41 > 0:08:43lowers to his bum,

0:08:43 > 0:08:44rotates on his back,

0:08:44 > 0:08:47and then pulls himself back to his feet again.

0:08:48 > 0:08:53That is taking immense strength and incredible balance,

0:08:53 > 0:08:57particularly as he's skating across the lake at around 40mph.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02Look how Ted spins one way first, then the other!

0:09:03 > 0:09:07Presumably, that stops him from getting dizzy, losing control,

0:09:07 > 0:09:11and spiralling across the lake like a watery whirling dervish!

0:09:14 > 0:09:16And that's it!

0:09:16 > 0:09:20He lets go and skitters towards shore like a skimming stone.

0:09:20 > 0:09:21Look at that!

0:09:21 > 0:09:24- He's on his bum!- He's on his bum!

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Terrific tumble turning.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30But did he manage the 17 needed for the record?

0:09:30 > 0:09:33It's over to official adjudicator Mark.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37On that occasion, you achieved

0:09:37 > 0:09:3816.

0:09:41 > 0:09:43- One away!- Oh, just short!

0:09:43 > 0:09:44Well, you said you could go faster,

0:09:44 > 0:09:48so do you think you've got that one more tumble turn at least in you?

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Yeah, I reckon I could get that, yeah.

0:09:50 > 0:09:54Ted goes again, tumbling and turning his way through another wild

0:09:54 > 0:09:57and wet 30 seconds out on the water.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59And this time...

0:09:59 > 0:10:00On that occasion,

0:10:00 > 0:10:01you managed...

0:10:04 > 0:10:07..18, which is a brand-new Guinness World Record!

0:10:07 > 0:10:08He's done it!

0:10:08 > 0:10:11Ted may feel like he's just been through the rinse cycle

0:10:11 > 0:10:15in a washing machine, but it must be worth it for that new world record.

0:10:15 > 0:10:19Now for one of our legends to also get a thorough soaking

0:10:19 > 0:10:23courtesy of Adam, our choosy audience member of the day

0:10:23 > 0:10:26who put Sizzler in the gunge tank

0:10:26 > 0:10:29so that Ray and Cherry can attempt the record for...

0:10:32 > 0:10:36A wise choice, as our two most athletic competitors give

0:10:36 > 0:10:40everything in a bid to hit the target of 85 jumps.

0:10:40 > 0:10:42Do they do it and save the Sizz?

0:10:42 > 0:10:45Today, you managed...

0:10:47 > 0:10:51..nothing, because Mr Cherry broke the rules after his first jump.

0:10:54 > 0:10:55Oh... No!

0:10:55 > 0:10:59Which means the Sizz gets another good gunging.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02This machine is my favourite thing ever!

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