# Officially, officially, officially...amazing! #

Hello and welcome to Officially Amazing Goes Bunkers,

so-called because we've got ourselves a top-secret

record-breaking bunker and we've filled it with this lot!

These guys need Guinness World Records title attempts

and they need them now.

Well, how about horse-tastic slaloming,

trick-tastic tennis-balling,

and whoa-tastic back-bending?

Perfect.

As always, the bunker crew will attempt to predict the outcome of

every record, with the hope of gunging

one of our officially competitive

legends at the end of the show.

So let's unleash those miraculous men.

Strike up the band!

And if you've ever felt like singing along at home, the time is now.

Get ready to roar

for Mr Cherry and some Cherryoke!

It's Cherry-San!

Exquisite.

Now to sing loud from my tiny turbine...

US Ray!

# Well, it's US Ray... #

I've got a new national anthem.

Britain, set your vocal cords to stratospheric

for Singalonga-Steve.

While Steve takes a breather after all that...

exertion, Haruka says she has something impressive from Turkey.

I do indeed, Ben.

Whaaa!

That is one bendy lady.

Yes. This is expert contortionist Tsastral from Mongolia

and she's about to attempt the record for...

Ah, yes. I know it well.

As if! This is the Marinelli bend

and her attempt has started.

Wow! She's folded herself in half

and she's only holding on with her mouth!

And, for the record, Tsastral has to stay like this for

two minutes, 34 seconds!

Two and a half minutes like that?

-No way.

-The bunker crew disagree, Ben.

They've made their first predictions and 91% of them think

Tsastral can do it!

Well, it looks like she's going to be there a while, Haruka.

Do you mind if I finish my life-sized

ice sculpture of Mr Cherry?

-CLINKING

-Ah, I wondered what that was.

How dare you!

-What do you think?

-It's actually brilliant!

The hot pants are amazing.

What's this bit...? Oops.

No...no! The work, the effort!

No time for misery, Ben.

Tsastral's had enough.

How long was she up there?

Incredible!

She smashed the record,

just like Haruka smashed my sculpting dreams.

But, never mind,

for 'tis time to unleash the perennial powerhouse that is...

Cherry threw the most cards into a target

and took a slender lead in the competition.

And things are about to go from bad to worse for Ray.

Not only is he in third place, but today's record is...

He's rubbish with chopsticks and marbles.

Here are the rules.

The marbles must be moved between

two containers one metre apart.

Only one marble may be moved at a time

and only the chopsticks can touch the marbles.

No hands.

If they move 43 or more, it's a world record.

Our heroes faced this challenge in Series 3,

and Cherry and Steve narrowly missed out on the record

by just two and three marbles respectively.

Are they feeling confident today?

Let's have a team talk.

It's got to be a two-horse race, right? You or Mr Cherry.

-Yes.

-For myself and for everyone watching and rooting you on at home,

can you just regale us once more with

your masterful chopstick technique?

I usually talk Ray up in this bit, but it's chopsticks. Eurgh!

Another chopsticks record.

Honestly, we're on Series 6 and

you're not really any better than when we started.

Some might say that you're worse.

Want me to show you how it's done?

Yes, I want to see you pick that marble up,

just one marble, with those chopsticks.

Pick it up, snatch it up...

Just like that. Ray, in my mind, you've already picked it up -

no matter what the marble or the plate is saying.

I think we all see that you've gotten remarkably better.

Look. 42 more of those and the record falls.

Er, does that one count?

Now to six-time chopstick world record breaker Mr Cherry

and taskmaster Cheeky.

I know you have brought your special Japanese chopsticks with you.

Can we see them?

HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE

-Oh, aye...

-Chopstick!

..these are chopsticks!

Supersonic, Japanese, special chopsticks.

Do you have a message for Steve?

Don't lose your marbles.

May t'best man win.

So, who do YOU think will be the maximum marble mover?

57% of the audience are choosing Cherry.

They've been a bit harsh on Sizzler,

who's broken seven chopstick records in his time,

including this one!

Whatever. Ray's up first.

Three...two...

one. Go!

Come on, mate, come on. That's it...

-Ooh...

-Oh! Strong start.

I like this...

Two out of two marbles in the landing zone.

Who IS this marble-moving master

and what's he done with Ray?

Oh, no. There he is.

This is competent chopstick work from Ray.

He's moving those marbles almost like a man who can use chopsticks!

And look at that precision placement.

Precise, but also ponderous

and this IS a time-based record.

Oh... I might start a chant to speed him up a bit.

US Ray! US Ray! US Ray! US Ray! US Ray!

Five...four...

-three...

-One more, Ray, come on!

-Come on!

-..two...

-..one.

-Stop!

GROANS

Ray denied one last marble by the clock.

And by the fact he dropped it.

But could there be 43 marbles in that bowl?

Who knows? We don't have time to count them now, Al.

Steve is in Sizzle mode!

And he's once again using his special dish -

last seen in the rice-moving challenge...that he failed to win.

Three...two...

one. Go!

And he's sizzling...

Oh...

He did NOT need a start like that.

Wheee!

But that's a beauty.

That's not. Atrocious chopsticking.

This is not the Sizzler we know and...

Well, that we know.

Come on, Steve!

Boom!

This is much better now.

Steve is nearing the coveted chopstick zone...

and the audience can clearly sense it.

This is so much better, Steve, well done.

Absolutely nailing it.

Ohhh, I spoke too soon.

Five...four...three...

two...one.

-Stop!

-Ooh!

Well done, Steve.

Really well done.

A frenetic finish, but Steve was NOT at full sizzle.

Will those mistakes cost him?

Or could the weighty weight of expectation crush Cherry too?

Mr Cherry, are you ready?

No! Chicky!

HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE

ENGINE REVS

What is going on here?

It's a mystical Japanese good luck motorbike mime, Al...probably.

As well as his special chopsticks,

Cherry has brought a state of the art wooden box from Japan.

He wants this and he's leaving nothing to chance.

Is he holding his chopsticks the wrong way around?

He is! Surely he hasn't taken inspiration from Ray

in the rice challenge?!

I would assume not.

Three...two...

one. Go!

He's off.

And those supersonic upside-down chopsticks are ferociously fast!

Oh! In off the rim.

That was close, but Cherry hasn't put a marble wrong...

..each one devastatingly dispatched into his special box.

Notice too how Cherry is working from the opposite end of the table

to Ray and Steve.

This is definitely the faster way round.

Slow-mo Cherry looks quicker than Ray in normal mode.

The audience can't believe it!

Are they witnessing a world record?

Agh! Cherry's first mistake.

Could that cost him?

This is an incredible performance!

Five...four...

..three...two...one.

Stop!

Ohhh!

Wow!

Wow!

That was an unbelievable display of marblemanship.

But did Cherry, or anyone, move the 43 marbles needed?

Only the official adjudicator knows.

Shantha, do we have a record?

-Yes, we do.

-Yeah!

CHEERING

Wow! Shantha, please reveal who got that record today.

So in third place, with six...

Just 37 short of the record.

..is Ray.

-All right, all right.

-And in first place, with a total of 43...

Equalling the current world record!

..is Mr Cherry.

Jubilation, as Cherry scores his second individual world record

of the series.

HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE

-Yeah!

-Just look what it means to him.

Yeah!

And that result sees Cherry extend

his lead with only four rounds left

-in the competition.

-Fantastic!

Majestic!

Chopstick!

Never a truer word has been spoken.

Our colossi will be back at the end of the show,

when two of them join forces to attempt another world record.

But fail and they will send

the remaining competitor to the terrifying Gunge Tank of Doom!

The dweller of the Gunge Tank will be chosen by one of the most

accurate predictors in the audience,

which is why they're poised to predict the outcome

of our next high speed record.

Earlier this series,

we introduced you to the splendiferous spectacle

that is horseboarding -

the joyous union of horse riding and mountainboarding.

We witnessed boarder Aidan and rider Charlie obliterate

a ramp jump world record.

And today Charlie's back with boarder Ross.

Together, they're four-time horseboarding UK champions

and, along with racehorse Nabu, will attempt the record for...

Can one of you explain exactly what the slalom involves?

We go on either side of the cone

and we've got to be working together as a team,

sort of making sure the tension's on the rope,

and that we're both, sort of, working in tandem.

What makes Nabu so perfect for this record?

He's fast. He would rather just go flat out in a straight line,

but he's got to weave through the cones, yeah,

and do the flying changes between each one.

I like the sound of this Nabu.

I think he's worth going and having a little chat with.

Nabu, thank you for joining us.

I know you're busy.

I'm a big CBBC fan.

I'm glad to hear it.

Now, if you could give one piece of advice for horses out there who

might want to get into horseboarding, what would it be?

Go to the loo before you race.

Humans do not like boarding through horse poop.

Considerate! Here are the rules.

The race track must comprise of ten cones spaced ten metres apart.

The horse and boarder must slalom around

alternating sides of the cones.

And should any being - human or horse - touch a cone,

the attempt is invalid.

For a world record, they must complete the course in

25 seconds or under.

This is an incredibly dangerous sport with a highly trained horse.

Do you think they'll get the record?

81% of our bunker guests think they will.

Let's see if they're right.

There he comes...

Nabu takes a run-up.

The attempt begins when the front wheels of Ross's board

cross the start line.

-They're away.

-And they're whizzing around the cones.

Look how Ross adjusts the rope to maintain the tension

and keep himself boarding at maximum speed!

And Charlie's riding Nabu at an incredible pace!

So intricate.

This is a real test of Charlie's riding skills.

Watch how Nabu has to adjust his footwork to go around every cone

and how they lean together into the corners.

Oh!

-Ohhh!

-Oh, no.

Let's watch that last cone again.

Ross should have gone round the left-hand side,

but he took the right-hand side - that's an automatic fail.

-Hey, guys.

-Ah, so close!

It was so close.

I got a bit cone-dizzy and thought I'd done it, and I was like, "Yeah!

"Oh, there's another cone."

Can they complete a valid run on attempt number two?

Ross makes it look easy, but it takes strength,

balance and nerve to go at this pace.

And look at Nabu's magnificent muscles in action!

But he needs to stay focused on the course.

Charlie needs skill and strength to keep him on track.

Guiding a 70st horse with such precision is not easy.

Here comes that tricky final cone...

Yeah!

And that's a valid run.

Yes! No mistakes this time, but was it fast enough?

Over to official adjudicator Mark.

So, Mark, was it a world record?

Yay or ne-ighhh?!

Well, Charlie, Ross, and Nabu needed a time of 25 seconds or less.

You achieved a time...

..of 13.005 seconds

It's a brand-new Guinness World Records title!

Incredible from the human-horse-human combo.

They almost halved the target time.

Hyperbolic horseboarding! And congratulations to the 81% of our

bunker crew who correctly predicted they'd do it.

Priceless Al Jackson low fives for this

entire row of fabulous forecasters.

They're all living the Jackson dream.

And they have one more prediction to make now

regarding some ridiculous racket work.

Meet Stefan Bojic, a freestyle tennis phenomenon from Serbia.

Stefan has a colossal collection of brilliant ball skills.

He's even taught some of them to tennis titans,

like Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.

And today, Stefan will attempt the record for...

The around the world trick looks like this.

Stefan bounces the ball off the frame of his racket

and moves the racket around the ball whilst it's in the air

to then hit it again.

I fancy learning a little more about this freestyle tennis thing.

You have got some brilliantly named tricks, haven't you?

So what are they?

This is, like, a half spin.

This is, like, full spin, and then

you have, like, this one is flip.

-Yes!

-This one is half flip.

-Oh!

-This one is, like, kick flip.

-So stuff like that.

-Oh!

Now, there is one called the lemon, isn't there?

-There is.

-What's the lemon?

It's just, like... I don't know why I called it lemon,

but I guess I like lemonade.

Is it because, if you don't nail it, you feel bitter?

Ha! I'll take that, all right.

Yeah, good.

I've still got it! Here are the rules.

The racket must move a full 360 degrees around the ball

between each hit.

Any hits not played with the racquet frame will not count.

And the world record target is...

60% of the audience are predicting success.

What do you think?

Come on, Stefan.

That's one, two...

This is quick and it needs to be.

He must hit the ball on average every 0.6 seconds

to reach that target.

His racket is a blur!

But in slow-mo, you can see it swiftly circling the ball between each hit.

Just try it yourself to see how difficult this skill is.

It's mesmerising stuff.

We're halfway through and Stefan has managed 53 hits,

well on course for that goal of 100.

Oh, he's recovered! Oh!

Beautiful! Oh, it just clipped off the edge of the frame,

but Stefan saved it.

We're dealing in millimetres of accuracy here.

Flawless technique.

-Time.

-Oh, lovely!

What a brilliant run!

I think I got it. I think I got it.

Stefan thinks he's done it, but did he get 100 hits?

On that occasion, you managed...

-98.

-Oh, come on!

Have you rechecked?

We have checked, we've double-checked,

-we've watched it in slow motion.

-Oh, man.

-98.

-So frustrating!

Just two short and it gets worse on attempt two.

30 seconds in and...

Oh! Stefan's not sure he's got the strength left in his forearm,

but he's going for a third attempt.

He wants this.

He's straight back in the groove.

This is turbo tennis tricking!

Stefan's arm must be in agony, but he can't slow down.

That's 54 hits so far - over halfway at the halfway point.

Record on!

But can he keep this speed up to the end?

Just seconds left.

It's looking good.

Could this be the record?

Oh!

Stefan lost the ball with three seconds left.

Excruciating!

But could he have made 100 hits?

Let's find out.

So on that attempt you managed...94.

-94.

-Oh, bad luck, Stefan.

-Maybe one day it will be Wimble-done by you.

-Haha!

Stefan needed six in those last three seconds.

He could have done it!

So disappointment for our tennis trickster,

but not so for these mega minds.

The most accurate predictors in the bunker today.

-Calum.

-Sammy.

-Kirsten.

-Hamish.

-Millie.

-Ellie.

-Ruby.

-TJ.

And some of our giant guests...

Mrs McLaren.

And Mr Buchanan.

They all predicted the results of today's records

with over 96% accuracy.

But only one has been chosen by our supercomputer,

at complete random,

to take part in today's final record-breaking challenge.

And, Ben, I have that name for you.

It is...

Ruby!

Tell us more about the resplendent Ruby, Ben.

Well, Ruby's favourite food is spaghetti.

Yum-isimo!

She would love to be able to speak to animals.

Done!

And her favourite band is Little Mix.

# Shout out to my ex... #

Me too! My favourite's Perrie.

Ruby must now choose a pairing to attempt the record for...

All you have to do is decide which of our competitors will be playing

in the final challenge and which will be sent to

the Gunge Tank of Doom!

Are you going to decide yourself, or are you going to leave it to fate?

I'm going to leave it fate.

Oh.

Enter the velveteen bag of fate,

containing symbols representing each competitor.

Whoever Ruby plucks from its murky depths is going in the tank.

It's Sizzling Steve.

Ruby, do you have any final words for Steve?

Good luck.

Off you trot, Sizzle Boy.

This will be the fourth time that Ray and Cherry have combined.

Let them be known as...

Can Chay break the record to save Sizzler from the gloop?

Or will they fail like they have every other time they've tried?

Either way, they'll need some rules.

Clothes pegs must start attached to a rotary washing line.

30 different pairs of socks must start in a basket

one metre from the washing line.

Socks must be sorted into pairs and hung side-by-side.

Once the minute is over, the line must be spun.

Any fallen socks will not count.

And Chay must sort and hang 19 pairs or more for the record.

Any less, it's gunge time!

The good news is that one of our competitors

is a sock-sorting record holder.

The bad news is he's currently sat in the Gunge Tank of Doom.

Shantha, over to you.

Three, two, one. Go.

And they're off.

Chay have opted to pair up a supply of socks before hanging.

A technique favoured by all leading sock hangers.

Look how focused they are,

uniting those socks without a single hesitation.

Luminescent laundering.

Cheeky appears to be timing the event, Ben.

Is she an official adjudicator now?

If she is, she's got the costume completely wrong.

-20.

-Ah-ha!

On Cheeky's 20-second command, Chay commenced hanging.

The audience are enthralled and rightly so.

Oh, Ray's dropped a sock.

A great recovery, but vital pegging seconds wasted.

And now Cherry's lost one.

His sock fell right out of the peg.

A fine catch from the big man,

but there's no room for error in world-class sock suspending.

Sizzler looks concerned.

But they're pegging at a pulsating pace now.

Hanging out the smalls has never been so exhilarating.

Come on, Chay!

Sort those stocks, for the love of Steve!

Five, four, three, two, one.

-Stop!

-And that's time!

Now let us enjoy the final sock spin in glorious slow-mo.

You don't see enough of this on TV.

There were no fallers!

But did they get 19 pairs on the washing line?

Over to Shantha.

Today you managed...

-14.

-Oh!

Five pairs short.

Disappointment for Chay

and that is the face of a sock-sorting champion

let down by amateurs.

-ALL:

-Gunge, gunge, gunge!

-But the bunker crew seem ecstatic.

-ALL:

-Three, two, one.

Hit it! Yeah!

Ruby's loving it and why wouldn't she be?

Gloriously gloopy Siz business.

No record, but a gunge bath all the same.

You can't ask for more than that, surely.

We'll see you next time. Bye!

# Well, on the slalom course with Nabu the horse,

# Ross and Charlie were galloping greats

# And Stefan gave his all with the tennis ball

# But he could only score 98

# We thought there might be no end

# To the longest Marinelli bend

# Cherry's marble transportation resulted in record-breaking elation

# But Cherry and Ray's sock-sorting was a disaster
