Hello, and welcome to the final

Officially Amazing Goes Bunkers of the series.

DRAMATIC CLASSIC MUSIC

-AUDIENCE:

-Aw!

-CRYING:

-Ben, no!

I know.

I just want to say what a pleasure,

nay, an honour it has been to serve with you here in the Bunker.

Put it there, buddy.

MUSIC SKIPS, TISSUE SQUELCHES

Can someone get me some hand gel?!

-VOICEOVER:

-Emotional scenes.

Here's what's coming up on today's finale.

Olympic skeet shooting!

Bombastic balloon crushing!

And Officially Competitive is tied.

Cherry...could win.

Steve...could win.

And Ray...is also here!

As always, the Bunker crew will attempt to predict

the outcome of every Guinness world record's title attempt

for the chance to take part in our final challenge.

Which today could result in either Al or me

heading to the gunge tank of doom.

The horror!

But first, the drama, as we release our competitive heroes

for one final time.

Some monstrous rock, please.

One, two, three, four!

He's the reigning champion, but for how much longer?

It's Mr Cherry!

# Brace yourselves, it's the man from Japan

# The four-time competitive champion

# And Sizzling Steve has an actual chance

# Of beating that man with the spangly pants!

# Who can break records like nobody else can?

# Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Cherry-san! #

Whoa!

Cherry...boom-boom-boom-boom! Argh!

What a battle cry!

Next out is my mini minotaur, US Ray.

# Good things come in small packages, they say

# But they don't come much smaller than US Ray

# Could the pocket rocket break a record today?

# And what do I say? Well, it's US Ray...

# Hey! #

Oh, I love that guy!

And finally, into the arena, Britain's own rampant recordinator,

Sizzling Steve!

# In Sizzling Steve

# In Sizzling Steve

# We do believe

# We do believe

# What mundane skill

# What mundane skill

# Has he got up his sleeve?

# Has he got up his sleeve?

BOTH: # Well, you can send him any test

# And he will yearn to be the best

# Cos he's a record-breaking legend, Sizzling Steve. #

Steve's gone high-fashion for the final.

I couldn't be prouder.

So with our legendary threesome ready for one last battle,

let us commence with...

Previously, on Officially Competitive.

After 14 brave battles,

ten disqualifications,

and five obliterated world records,

Cherry and Steve are tied at the top of the leaderboard,

and the entire competition will be decided today

as they battle for this understated thing of beauty.

Truly stunning.

A win for Cherry means a fifth consecutive title.

A win for Steve means a first ever championship victory.

And a win for Ray...

..is impossible, surely.

As they're tackling the record for

fastest time to make a ten marshmallow

pyramid using chopsticks.

Here are the rules.

Ten marshmallows must be constructed into a pyramid thusly.

The marshmallows must be moved a distance of 15 centimetres,

from starting point to stacking point.

And only the chopsticks can touch the marshmallows.

If they build a marshmallow pyramid in 35 seconds or under,

it's a world record.

So, who do you think will produce the paciest pyramid?

A massive 62% of our Bunker guests

are predicting a victory for Cherry.

This promises to be the most cataclysmic clash

the universe has ever seen,

involving marshmallows.

Up first is my tiny terrahawk, US Ray.

A win for Ray today, and the overall competition ends in a tie.

But he is rubbish with chopsticks -

and pyramids.

Three, two, one, go!

He's away.

Hang on. Ray seems practically proficient.

And look at that!

He manoeuvred that meandering marshmallow like a chopstick pro.

I just hope he's remembered

the correct pyramid configuration.

It's looking promising.

I'm impressed,

and I'm not afraid to show it!

-Go on, Ray...

-Let's go...

BANG Oh, no!

I jinxed him!

Just be glad you didn't make him knock his pyramid over.

KLAXON

A staggeringly competent display of chopstickery,

by my mini marshmallow man.

But this is where it gets electrifying,

as the main contenders take to the stage.

Starting with four-time champ, Cherry.

The great man has reset the table,

so he can build sideways.

He looks focused.

This, for the title.

Three, two, one, go!

It's a speedy start,

and the shaking hands that have blighted Cherry's

season are looking almost steady.

And just look at the confident way

he nudged that marshmallow away from the yellow line.

Disqualification today

would spell disaster.

Cherry's pyramid is ordered and precise!

This is magnificent marshmallow mounting!

Ooh, Cherry tussled with a topple there...

And won!

That looked fast, but Cherry seems strangely subdued.

He's thrown down the marshmallow gauntlet,

but does he think his performance is beatable?

Dare the Sizzler dream of actually winning this?

Three, two, one, go!

Hang on. What kind of marshmallow is that?

Steve scoured the world for a cuboid marshmallow.

And these are from Malta.

Could this master stroke win him the title?

Oh, he fumbled number five!

But Sizzler recovers with aplomb.

Is that bottom layer going to hold out, though?

I hope so!

Five series of trying to beat Cherry.

Is this a record-breaking -

nay - championship winning performance?

A dangerous sway right there at the end.

But Sizzler's pyramid stands firm.

So here we go. Everything has led to this moment.

Did anyone break that 35 seconds target - and, more importantly,

who is about to be crowned as Series 6 champion?

Over to the official adjudicator.

Shantha - do we have a record?

Yes.

Oh, excellent news,

we are finishing Officially Competitive with a flourish.

But the all-important question remains.

Who got that record...

and therefore, who got the final competitive points?

Well, I can confirm

that all three competitors broke the record target.

Round of applause!

VOICEOVER: What a way to end the competition.

In third place,

with a time of 30.38 seconds...

is Ray.

Well done, Ray. Well done.

-VOICEOVER:

-He came in third and last.

But let's not forget,

Ray just broke the world record in a chopstick event.

A proud non-victory for the USA.

But this...is...it.

Whoever has the record takes the Officially Competitive title.

And in first place,

with a time of 11.25 seconds...

Absolutely annihilating the record target!

..is...

..Steve!

What?

What?!

VOICEOVER: The Sizzler has done it!

A first ever Officially Competitive title.

And look what it means to him.

No-one thought the great Cherry could ever be beaten.

But with a succession of stunning performances,

Steve has finally found glory.

Sir Sizzling Steve, we salute you!

It's been a long time in coming but I tell you what,

it's been worth the wait.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I give you your Officially Competitive Series 6 champion,

Sizzling Steve!

CHEERING

Steve!

WHOOPING

But our new champion has no time to relax.

For he could be one of two heroes

joining forces to attempt another world record

at the end of the show.

Today, they will be fighting to save me or Al from a splodging,

courtesy of... the Gunge Tank Of Doom!

Our fate will be in the hands of one of the most accurate predictors in

the audience.

And they're ready to predict the outcome of our next

high-powered record.

Meet 19-year-old Amber Hill.

Amber's a beautician, hence the lipstick, the white coat,

the...cap?

The safety goggles?

And the earplugs?!

That's because Amber's special skill is actually this - skeet shooting,

a type of clay pigeon shooting.

Amber became world champion in 2015,

and was part of Team GB at the Rio Olympics.

Today, she's attempting the record for

most sporting clay targets broken in one minute, female.

Clay pigeon targets are these circular discs,

fired into the sky at 70mph and 32 metres away

for Amber to shoot.

Let's just talk about skeet shooting and how you got into it.

My grandad said, "Why don't you come shooting with me one weekend?"

And I went and absolutely loved it, and the adrenaline rush I got from

hitting my first target was incredible.

So, what happened, then?

Did you just turn up at a shooting ground and they said, "Here's a gun,

-"off you go?"

-The instructor came over to me

and started to explain all the safety aspects, how to load the gun.

It actually took months to learn all the safety aspects of shooting.

You've obviously been learning for a long time.

How has training been going, then?

It is a matter of just...shoot as quickly as possible!

Hit as many as you can!

Here are the rules.

The record must take place on a certified firing range,

and the clay pigeons will be fired from one trap.

The world record target is 25 clay hits in one minute.

73% of the Bunker crew are predicting a record.

Do you agree?

Here we go.

Two hits immediately.

She reloads to go again.

Each time Amber takes aim,

a range official releases the clays from the trap.

Amber's showing astonishing accuracy and speed.

She shoots,

reloads, aims and shoots again

in under five seconds.

As well as accuracy, it requires great strength.

Amber has built up upper body strength,

so she can comfortably handle that heavy shotgun...

..and absorb that recoil or impact of the gun on her shoulder.

And she's even able to control her heart rate,

so she doesn't shake when taking aim.

Simply premium precision!

What an effort.

KLAXON

It looked faultless - but did Amber hit 25 clays for the record?

Over to official adjudicator Mark.

On that attempt, you hit 23.

-Oh!

-No!

I can beat it.

Agonisingly close.

Amber got 23 hits from 24 shots.

But with 25 hits needed for the record,

she upped her speed on attempt two...

..and managed 26 shots.

But how was her strike rate?

On that attempt, there were 22 confirmed hits.

So close again!

Amber's determined to succeed. But each attempt is getting harder.

Her arms are taking all the strain of that weighty shotgun,

and she's missing a little more often.

On that attempt, there were 20 confirmed hits.

How are you feeling?

My arms are just going to jelly,

but I think it's just give it one more attempt, one last shot.

She's been so close -

can Amber find the strength to get 25 hits on her final attempt?

Another brilliant start.

She makes it look so easy. But this is such a difficult event.

Can she keep going?

Amber's precision is outstanding -

but she's really feeling the strain.

Come on...!

I can't do it. My arms won't work.

Oh! With ten seconds left on the clock, Amber's arms have given out.

Just confirm that that wasn't a record for us.

No, it was 17 in 50 seconds.

It was a superhuman display of awesome accuracy,

from one of the world's best.

But today, it just wasn't to be.

I'll be coming back, and definitely be getting it one day.

I do hope so, that's what we like to hear.

Only 27% of the Bunker

predicted correctly there,

and they have only one more prediction to make

before Al or I are sent to the dreaded Gunge Tank of Doom.

Hopefully, Al.

But before one of us gets a good gungeing,

it's time to get diggy with it.

Meet big-time, big digger driver Andy Ballantine,

and his collection of delightful diggers.

These colossal contraptions can dig humongous holes,

shifting tonnes of earth.

But under Andy's control,

they also have a secret special power.

Balloon bursting!

And today, Andy and his favourite digger

will attempt the record for...

most balloons popped in one minute,

using an excavator bucket.

Welcome, Andy, to Officially Amazing.

Thank you very much.

So how hard is it, and how does it work?

Well, it's relatively easy to pop one balloon,

but to pop a series of balloons,

we'll have to see how we go this morning.

What's training been like, how have you been getting on?

It's been quite full-on.

We've had some very good training days and

some good results. Let's hope we can replicate that today, I hope so.

Here are the rules.

Only the bucket attachment

can be used to pop the balloons.

And only one balloon may be popped at a time.

Andy will start with 100 balloons.

If he bursts 30 in one minute, it's a world record!

It seems a tough ask,

and only 20% of the Bunker reckon he'll pop his way

to glory. But what do you think?

Three, two, one, go!

VOICEOVER: He's off with a bang.

Two down already. Look at this!

-VOICEOVER:

-Andy is showing no mercy.

-That's five in a row!

VOICEOVER: But his accuracy's faltering now.

Come on, Andy!

VOICEOVER: That's better though...

Ooh, one balloon burst ITSELF there!

Perhaps out of sheer terror.

-VOICEOVER:

-Sadly, self-combusting balloons won't count.

Andy controls the arm and bucket with two levers.

Precision is incredibly hard with such a huge machine.

Ooh, he's caught on the string!

VOICEOVER: The bucket's caught in the string

holding the balloons down!

This lost time could spell disaster.

Amazing! Andy untangled himself without even breaking a sweat.

Every second counts now!

Come on, Andy!

Keep it up, come on!

-VOICEOVER:

-Oh! But now he's crushed two balloons in one blow.

So neither will count.

-Come on, Andy. Quick!

-Ten seconds.

-Ten seconds, Andy, last ten.

Big ten. Yes!

Oh, look at this.

The man's a machine. And he's in a machine.

KLAXON

-Ohhh!

-Yes, well done, Andy!

Well - those balloons will be regretting coming to THIS party.

Just look at the devastation.

But not all were legal, single pops.

Could Andy have burst that 30-balloon target?

On this occasion, you achieved...

44, which is a brand-new record!

THEY WHOOP

44? Top Of The Pops!

What a beautiful balloon- obliterating display from Andy

and his deadly digger.

And the party continues in the Bunker,

as we reveal our final top ten most accurate predictors of the series.

Nathan.

Scott.

Kenny.

Tatyana.

Sammy.

Adam.

Robbie.

And some of our king-sized kids...

Eilish.

Laura.

And Chris.

They all predicted the results of today's records

with over 59.8% accuracy.

But only one has been chosen at random by our super-computer

to participate in today's final record attempt -

and the final record attempt of the series -

alongside Cherry, Ray and Steve.

Ben, I have that name for you,

it is...

Tatyana!

CHEERING

Tell us more about Tatyana, Ben.

Well, Tatyana loves cucumber.

-Done.

-I didn't say she wanted to BE one!

I can't un-magic the magic.

Next?

Her favourite competitor is US Ray.

She's my kind of cucumber.

And... Oh, no,

she thinks the funniest thing

in the world is TV bloopers.

Tatyana - this is your lucky day.

DOG YAPS

A record-breaking...

Eeeghh...

Ohhhh!

Oh, I enjoyed that.

Did they ALL have to feature me?!

Now, back to business.

Tatyana has a double decision to make

for our final record-breaking challenge...

Most leapfrog jumps in one minute, by a team of two.

Today, Tatyana, you're going to be making two very important decisions.

One of those decisions

is which two of our competitors will be taking part

in today's final challenge.

The other

is deciding between Albert Jackson and I

as to who goes into...

the Gunge Tank of Doom.

Which two of our competitors do you want to compete in the final event?

Steve and Ray.

-OK.

-Steve and Ray!

Steve and Ray will be uniting

for a record seventh time this series.

Let them be known as Sizzling Ray!

Now, time for the big decision...

Tatyana -

between myself and Albert Jackson,

who would you like to send

to their gungey fate?

Please tell us now.

-Ben!

-Yes!

-VOICEOVER:

-Thank you, Tatyana!

If Sizzling Ray don't break the record - Ben gets a gungeing.

So fingers crossed for failure.

Here are the rules.

Competitors must alternate between being the leaper

and being the frog.

When leaping, both feet must leave the ground at the same time.

Any one-footed jumps won't count.

And for the record, Sizzling Ray need 57 leapfrogs in one minute.

Any fewer - and I get gunged!

Right, let's get on with it.

As the first frog, Steve IS allowed to start in the froggy position.

-BOTH:

-Three, two, one!

Go!

And they're off.

Yes...

A little too quickly for my liking.

I was hoping they'd be BAD at this.

Thank you for the support, Al!

My little leaper Ray is flying over the Sizzler.

Joyous jumping indeed.

Ray was born for records like this.

I'm not sure Steve was, though.

Come on...

Whoo!

Hang on. Did he take off with BOTH feet there?

It doesn't look like it.

That leap won't count.

Steve's never been the most athletic competitor,

but it's almost like he's being bad on purpose to get me gunged.

Slow, slow! Go slow!

And now he's having problems with his patriotic pants.

What a shame.

Come on, Steve. Come on, Ray...

They just need a bit of hearty cheering from certain colleagues!

Leap into the record books, guys, come on.

Al - you don't appear to be cheering.

-HE CLEARS HIS THROAT

-I've got a tickle in my throat, Ben.

Hmm...

Oh! Another foot fault.

My quiff is quivering with gungey fear.

Five, four,

three, two, one...

-KLAXON

-..stop!

-And that's it.

PLEASE let it have been enough to save me from a sploshing! Shantha?

The current record...

stands at 57.

Terrifyingly high...

Today, you managed a total..

..of 37. Wow!

Ohhhhh!

CHEERING

Yay!

I'm pretty sure that 37 is less than 57.

So that means one thing.

Gunge, gunge, gunge...

-AUDIENCE JOINS IN

-Gunge, gunge, gunge!

VOICEOVER: The Bunker is devastated,

as their hero is sent to the gunge tank.

Tatyana is positively distraught.

Gunge, gunge, gunge...!

-ALL:

-Five, four,

three, two, one...

I could watch this all day.

Thanks, Al.

Sizzling Steve ends this series shrouded in glory,

and I end up smothered in gunge!

But what a series it's been.
