0:00:24 > 0:00:25Ahh!

0:00:25 > 0:00:27Hello, and welcome.

0:00:27 > 0:00:29This is Officially Amazing...

0:00:29 > 0:00:31..Goes Bunkers!

0:00:31 > 0:00:35Yes, another huge crowd is here to see Guinness World Records' titles

0:00:35 > 0:00:37broken before their very eyes.

0:00:37 > 0:00:40And here's what we have for them and you today.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43A troupe of acrobats go skipping...

0:00:43 > 0:00:45with human ropes!

0:00:45 > 0:00:47A whirling, twirling surf dude.

0:00:48 > 0:00:50And a man jumps off a cliff.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Plus, our Bunker VIPs will be trying

0:00:55 > 0:00:58to predict the outcome of all today's challenges

0:00:58 > 0:01:00as they hope for the chance to send

0:01:00 > 0:01:04one of our Officially Competitive heroes into the...

0:01:07 > 0:01:09Speaking of which, here they come.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13Prepare for record-breaking royalty, as we cue the house band.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15One, two, three, four!

0:01:15 > 0:01:18And first down our Channel of Champions,

0:01:18 > 0:01:21it's the genius from Japan...

0:01:21 > 0:01:25# Brace yourselves, it's the man from Japan

0:01:25 > 0:01:28# The four-time Competitive Champion

0:01:28 > 0:01:31# Do Ray and Steve even have a chance

0:01:31 > 0:01:34# Of beating a man with spangly pants?

0:01:34 > 0:01:38# Who can break records like nobody else can?

0:01:38 > 0:01:41# Ch-ch-ch-Cherry-san. #

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Thank you CHERRY much!

0:01:47 > 0:01:49No, thank you, Cherry-san.

0:01:49 > 0:01:55Not bad, but gaze in awe at the electrifying entrance of this man -

0:01:55 > 0:01:58the American Eagle, US Ray.

0:01:58 > 0:02:02# Good things come in small packages, they say

0:02:02 > 0:02:06# But they don't come much smaller than US Ray

0:02:06 > 0:02:10# Can the pocket rocket break a record today

0:02:10 > 0:02:12# Everybody will go insane

0:02:12 > 0:02:14# Cos it's US Ray! #

0:02:15 > 0:02:18He's a crowd-pleaser and a diamond geezer.

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Whatever that is.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Now prepare for the atmosphere to reach fever pitch,

0:02:23 > 0:02:28as the Bunker roars in its own British badger,

0:02:28 > 0:02:30Sizzling Steve.

0:02:30 > 0:02:32- # It's Sizzling Steve - It's Sizzling Steve

0:02:32 > 0:02:35- # We do believe - We do believe

0:02:35 > 0:02:38- # What mundane skill - What mundane skill

0:02:38 > 0:02:41- # Has he got up his sleeve? - Has he got up his sleeve?

0:02:41 > 0:02:44# Well, you can send him any test

0:02:44 > 0:02:47# And he will yearn to be the best

0:02:47 > 0:02:53# Cos he's a record-breaking legend Sizzling Steve. #

0:02:53 > 0:02:55He's seriously competitive,

0:02:55 > 0:02:57but with a fun side too.

0:02:57 > 0:03:01Before we reveal the record they're about to attempt,

0:03:01 > 0:03:04it's time for a record from China, with Haruka.

0:03:04 > 0:03:07And this one is a spectacular,

0:03:07 > 0:03:11terrifying and very dangerous record attempt.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Haruka, to me, water balloons are terrifying!

0:03:14 > 0:03:17- But go ahead.- This is base jumping.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Using their special wingsuits,

0:03:20 > 0:03:23base jumpers can fly for long distances.

0:03:23 > 0:03:25But as they fly so close to the ground,

0:03:25 > 0:03:29it is much more dangerous than skydiving.

0:03:29 > 0:03:31It's beautiful but scary.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Just like my Auntie Debbie.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35We're going to see Patrick from America

0:03:35 > 0:03:37attempt the record for...

0:03:40 > 0:03:42He'll jump from this platform and

0:03:42 > 0:03:45use his wingsuit to fly 1.6km

0:03:45 > 0:03:47in a bid to hit this

0:03:47 > 0:03:48three-metre-square target.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52Why anyone would want to do this is beyond me.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54But Patrick is ready to go.

0:03:54 > 0:03:59And now it's time for our big brains in the Bunker to get predicting.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02They'll be trying to guess the outcome of every record today

0:04:02 > 0:04:05and one of them will play a vital role in our final challenge

0:04:05 > 0:04:07at the end of the show.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10And 79% of them think he'll hit that target.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12What do you think?

0:04:14 > 0:04:16Well, there's no turning back now.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21Just look at the speed!

0:04:21 > 0:04:22Here comes the target...

0:04:26 > 0:04:28Whoa! He went through the gate.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30But he didn't hit the target.

0:04:30 > 0:04:34He missed by only 50cm - so close!

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Not to be deterred, he's going again.

0:04:37 > 0:04:40But the wind speed is increasing, and so is the danger.

0:04:43 > 0:04:45Ooh, look how far they're dropping!

0:04:45 > 0:04:47My knees are wobbling, and I'm sat down!

0:04:47 > 0:04:49Can he hit the target this time?

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Oh, he can!

0:04:55 > 0:04:57An incredible achievement,

0:04:57 > 0:04:59and a new world record.

0:04:59 > 0:05:03Just as 79% of the Bunker crew predicted.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06What a display of danger-defying daredevilry.

0:05:07 > 0:05:10And there are surely more feats of unimaginable bravery

0:05:10 > 0:05:12coming up next in...

0:05:17 > 0:05:19Previously on Officially Competitive...

0:05:20 > 0:05:23Quadruple champ Mr Cherry took the biscuit

0:05:23 > 0:05:27as he stacked his way to a seriously sweet record-breaking start.

0:05:29 > 0:05:30So the Cherry tops

0:05:30 > 0:05:32the competitive cake.

0:05:32 > 0:05:34But that could all change today,

0:05:34 > 0:05:37as our three legends attempt the record for...

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Let's brew up some rules.

0:05:44 > 0:05:50Teabags must be dry and thrown from behind a line 1.5m from the mugs.

0:05:50 > 0:05:52Starting at one end of the row,

0:05:52 > 0:05:57bags must be thrown one at a time into the mugs in sequence.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59And the target for a new world record

0:05:59 > 0:06:02is five teabags in five mugs

0:06:02 > 0:06:04in 30 seconds.

0:06:04 > 0:06:08Let's get the team talks, starting with America's sweethearts,

0:06:08 > 0:06:09Team USA.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Now, you could have purchased any shaped tea.

0:06:12 > 0:06:13Which one did you go for and why?

0:06:13 > 0:06:15I went for the four corners.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18- OK.- I'm going to ball it up, make it small, and then I'm just going to...

0:06:18 > 0:06:20- So you have a strategy?- Oh, yeah.

0:06:20 > 0:06:22- Let's test the strategy right now. - Let's test it out.

0:06:22 > 0:06:24- All right, I've got a cup. - Oh, excellent.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26All right.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29- OK.- Yeah, yeah.

0:06:29 > 0:06:31There we go. How about we do one more?

0:06:31 > 0:06:33- One more, all right. Just to show it wasn't a fluke.- Exactly.

0:06:33 > 0:06:36Just to show everybody out there...

0:06:36 > 0:06:38In my mind, that went in.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40Well, that was rubbish.

0:06:40 > 0:06:43Is this one already in the tea bag for the Sizzler?

0:06:43 > 0:06:46It seems to me that this is a record made for you.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Tell me why?- I've had years of experience making cups of tea,

0:06:49 > 0:06:50throwing teabags in cups.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53That's how I make all my tea everyday.

0:06:53 > 0:06:58Well, Steve, I hope that you will sail to victor-tea.

0:06:58 > 0:07:00- Victory?- Ah.- Victor-tea?

0:07:00 > 0:07:01Nah. Nah.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05Cherry has travelled from Japan with Chiki, his tutor,

0:07:05 > 0:07:08trainer and tea-bag-tossing teacher.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Let's see what he makes of this one.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14What is more important for this record, speed or accuracy?

0:07:14 > 0:07:1650/50.

0:07:16 > 0:07:19Six of one, half dozen of t'other, in't it?

0:07:20 > 0:07:24The pot...and the...teabags.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26I'm still none the wiser.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28But armed with that inside info,

0:07:28 > 0:07:31the Bunker crew have made their projections,

0:07:31 > 0:07:33and 66% believe Ray will throw

0:07:33 > 0:07:35the most teabags into cups.

0:07:36 > 0:07:40Ray's bagsied first go, and just look at him work that tea bag.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44Oh. It's over to you, official adjudicator, Shantha.

0:07:44 > 0:07:46Three, two, one...

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Go!

0:07:48 > 0:07:52Hm, Ray's aim hasn't improved since our interview.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Maybe the aerodynamics of the square bags aren't quite right.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01He needs a nice, delicate lobbing action.

0:08:01 > 0:08:05Are Ray's famed bulging biceps simply too powerful for this record?

0:08:06 > 0:08:07Anything's possible.

0:08:09 > 0:08:11Except Ray getting a bag in a cup.

0:08:12 > 0:08:16Maybe a special song I've written will help him?

0:08:17 > 0:08:20# Go, Ray, see jar, throw far, tea...#

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Oh.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Unlucky, Al, that deserved better.

0:08:25 > 0:08:28Look, in desperation, Ray threw two teabags at once.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31There's no two-for-one on these bags!

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Come on, Ray, come on now.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36- Got to get one!- Come on.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38- Five, four...- Oh, Ray!

0:08:38 > 0:08:42Three, two, one - stop.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Yes, that was TEA-ribble.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48Ahem. Arguably, even worse than that pun.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Shantha officially checks the mugs, and...

0:08:51 > 0:08:53No, nothing there.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Well, the only way is up.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59Steve's gone for pyramid-shaped teabags -

0:08:59 > 0:09:01will they prove to be a better choice?

0:09:01 > 0:09:03Go!

0:09:03 > 0:09:04Yes!

0:09:04 > 0:09:08Three throws in, and Sizz is already in the lead!

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Legendary lobbing.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14On to the next cup now.

0:09:14 > 0:09:16Yes! And that's two.

0:09:16 > 0:09:17This is it.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Look how fast he's throwing.

0:09:19 > 0:09:21Yes! Ooh...

0:09:21 > 0:09:24A terrifically tender toss into the third cup.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28Yes, that target of five bags in mugs

0:09:28 > 0:09:29is in his sights.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31That's it, that's it. Keep going.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34Oh, and CUP a load of that!

0:09:34 > 0:09:35That's four.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38Those pyramid bags are perfect missiles.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40Look at that precise arc.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42And that's five!

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Come on, come on, Steve!

0:09:44 > 0:09:46Yes! Six!

0:09:46 > 0:09:47Brilliant!

0:09:47 > 0:09:50Three, two, one - stop!

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Brilliant bagging.

0:09:53 > 0:09:56He really put the tea in S-tea-ve.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59Wow. Let's see if Mr Cherry's chucking

0:09:59 > 0:10:01is better than your punning.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05He's brought his pyramids all the way from Japan.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09- Go!- And he's using a plate to hold his bags.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11An incredible innovation.

0:10:11 > 0:10:14Classic Cherry.

0:10:14 > 0:10:18And that's one. Unlike Steve, Cherry's pyramids house green tea,

0:10:18 > 0:10:19not black.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Could that give him an advantage?

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Erm, it doesn't look like it.

0:10:25 > 0:10:29That was 11 misses before he holed cup number two.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32Chiki's got the crowd cheering.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Can they inspire him to victory?

0:10:34 > 0:10:35Maybe not.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- ALL CHANT:- Cherry, Cherry, Cherry...

0:10:40 > 0:10:43That's three. Handsome hurling.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Three, two, one...

0:10:46 > 0:10:47Stop.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52Well, one final tea bag did loop into a cup,

0:10:52 > 0:10:55but it did so after time was up.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59So, Shantha, did anyone reach the magic target of five?

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Do we have a record?

0:11:01 > 0:11:02Yes, we do.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04ALL GASP

0:11:04 > 0:11:10In third place...with an invalid attempt and a total of zero...

0:11:10 > 0:11:12is Ray.

0:11:12 > 0:11:16Ray's attempt at tea for two cost him.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Well, that and his 18 misses from 18 throws.

0:11:19 > 0:11:25And in first place, with a total of six correctly thrown teabags...

0:11:28 > 0:11:30- ..is Steve!- Yes!

0:11:30 > 0:11:32CHEERING

0:11:33 > 0:11:36One of the strangest victory celebrations I've ever seen.

0:11:36 > 0:11:38But what a win.

0:11:38 > 0:11:42Despite only 9% of the Bunker thinking he could do it.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45Yeah, Sizz Biz bags his first

0:11:45 > 0:11:47Guinness World Records' title of the series,

0:11:47 > 0:11:48and joins Cherry

0:11:48 > 0:11:50at the top of the leaderboard.

0:11:50 > 0:11:51Look at that.

0:11:51 > 0:11:52Right, cup of tea, anyone?

0:11:52 > 0:11:55No thanks, Sizz, because we must move on.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57Our heroes will be back later on.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Two will team up to attempt another world record.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02But should they fail,

0:12:02 > 0:12:05the third will be trudging to a sludging inside the...

0:12:08 > 0:12:12And the decision on just who will be cruising for an oozing will be taken

0:12:12 > 0:12:16by one of the most successful predictors in the Bunker.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19So they will be watching carefully as Haruka and I take to the water.

0:12:21 > 0:12:26This is Lee Debuse, one of the country's leading wakesurfers.

0:12:27 > 0:12:31Wakesurfing starts with being towed on a short surfboard

0:12:31 > 0:12:32behind a motorboat.

0:12:32 > 0:12:35But unlike wakeboarding, once you're balanced,

0:12:35 > 0:12:38you chuck away the cable and then simply surf the wave,

0:12:38 > 0:12:41or wake, created by the boat's speed.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46Today, Lee's going to be attempting the record for...

0:12:51 > 0:12:53A 360 is a vertical spin performed

0:12:53 > 0:12:55whilst riding the waves behind the boat.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Let's see how Lee's feeling.

0:12:58 > 0:13:02Tell me exactly how you make that 360 work, then?

0:13:02 > 0:13:03What technique is involved?

0:13:03 > 0:13:06Using your body, your head, your arms.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09Once you pick up the momentum from that, you can keep turning.

0:13:09 > 0:13:11- Sounds easy.- Hopefully!

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Are there any danger elements?

0:13:13 > 0:13:15We're not going too fast,

0:13:15 > 0:13:19so as long as you wear a life jacket and you've got a good driver,

0:13:19 > 0:13:20you should be fine.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23And during training, what's the best you've done?

0:13:23 > 0:13:25I've not done it all together,

0:13:25 > 0:13:27so we're going to see how we go today.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29Now, Lee, don't hammer me for this,

0:13:29 > 0:13:31but has anyone said you look a bit like Thor?

0:13:31 > 0:13:33LAUGHTER

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Erm, yeah, my girlfriend does, actually.

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Oh!

0:13:38 > 0:13:41Oh, my hard-hitting questions do it again.

0:13:41 > 0:13:43Here are the rules.

0:13:43 > 0:13:48Only full 360-degree rotations will count towards the total.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51And if Lee falls, the attempt is over.

0:13:51 > 0:13:57And the target for a new world record is 16 360s in one minute.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00The Bunker Bunch have made their predictions.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02And even though Lee admitted he's never tried this

0:14:02 > 0:14:04in the one-minute timeframe,

0:14:04 > 0:14:0772% still think he'll end up with a world record.

0:14:07 > 0:14:08What do you think?

0:14:10 > 0:14:14- He's in.- Makes it look so easy! - He really does.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17Once he gives the signal to official adjudicator Mark...

0:14:17 > 0:14:18KLAXON BLARES

0:14:18 > 0:14:19..the surf is up.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26And the surf is down!

0:14:26 > 0:14:27Aw!

0:14:27 > 0:14:31He got halfway through the turn, then got a mouthful of lake.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34He's straight back on the board for another go.

0:14:37 > 0:14:41And this time, he completes the first 360.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Tremendous balance here!

0:14:45 > 0:14:47Sensational surf spinning.

0:14:49 > 0:14:52Look at him paddling to keep up.

0:14:52 > 0:14:57The wake got wobbly, and he weally had to work to wemain on that wave.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59He's working really hard now!

0:14:59 > 0:15:02He hung on, but he'd lost precious time.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04Could that be crucial?

0:15:04 > 0:15:05- Time!- That's it.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08- Did he do it?- Well done, Lee!

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Has Lee twirled his way to a new record?

0:15:11 > 0:15:17Lee, you needed a minimum of 16 360s within the one-minute timeframe.

0:15:17 > 0:15:19On that occasion...

0:15:19 > 0:15:21- 15.- Aw, no!

0:15:21 > 0:15:24So close!

0:15:24 > 0:15:26Oh, he can't get that close and give up.

0:15:26 > 0:15:28One more time, come on, Lee!

0:15:31 > 0:15:32First one down.

0:15:32 > 0:15:36A minute of precarious perching and treacherous turning ahead.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38He'll need to be almost faultless.

0:15:38 > 0:15:40Ooh, a wobble. He stayed upright.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43And he's quickly back on track.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48It looks like he's using his hand as a kind of rudder

0:15:48 > 0:15:50to help guide himself along the wake.

0:15:50 > 0:15:5330 seconds!

0:15:53 > 0:15:57That's nine 360s at the halfway stage.

0:15:57 > 0:16:01Just seven away from the magical 16 required.

0:16:01 > 0:16:03He only needs one more spin than last time.

0:16:05 > 0:16:08But he must be exhausted.

0:16:08 > 0:16:10Can he keep going?

0:16:10 > 0:16:12This is looking good, but it's going to be close.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18Don't WAVE goodbye to this record, Lee.

0:16:18 > 0:16:20- Stop!- That's it, that's time.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23Well, he thinks he's done it.

0:16:23 > 0:16:26But did he manage the 16 required this time?

0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Let's find out.- On that occasion...

0:16:30 > 0:16:34..18, which is a brand-new Guinness World Records' title!

0:16:34 > 0:16:38He needed one more 360, he got three more 360s!

0:16:39 > 0:16:42And what a celebration!

0:16:42 > 0:16:46He even kept the certificate safe and dry.

0:16:46 > 0:16:5072% of the Bunker was spot on there, including Demi Lee,

0:16:50 > 0:16:54who gets the coveted Al Jackson high five.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56How about a hand for Demi Lee, everybody?

0:16:56 > 0:16:58'I'm the gift that keeps on giving.'

0:16:58 > 0:17:02Our Bunker guests now have one final prediction to make

0:17:02 > 0:17:04before someone will be banished to the...

0:17:07 > 0:17:10- So what's next? - Well, Al, this is Acropolis -

0:17:10 > 0:17:14a team of 11 astonishingly strong and flexible young men and women,

0:17:14 > 0:17:17aged between 11-22,

0:17:17 > 0:17:20who compete for Britain in the spectacular sport

0:17:20 > 0:17:22of acrobatic gymnastics.

0:17:22 > 0:17:23This group of British,

0:17:23 > 0:17:27European and World championship-winning gymnasts

0:17:27 > 0:17:30have gathered at Durham Cathedral - a famed sports arena.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32- Really?- Erm, no.

0:17:32 > 0:17:34To do some skipping!

0:17:34 > 0:17:37But instead of a rope, they'll be using...

0:17:37 > 0:17:40Whoa! A small human?!

0:17:40 > 0:17:43Well, apparently so, because this is the record for...

0:17:48 > 0:17:52Acropolis has sensationally - but hopefully temporarily -

0:17:52 > 0:17:55split itself into two teams to compete for this title.

0:17:55 > 0:18:00Let's hear from the two whirling human ropes - Finn and Georgia.

0:18:00 > 0:18:04Talk me through what it feels like to be a human skipping rope?

0:18:04 > 0:18:06I imagine it's a little bit weird, right?

0:18:06 > 0:18:09- Just a little bit. - Are you secretly enjoying it?

0:18:10 > 0:18:13- It's quite fun. - You're just like, "whee!"

0:18:13 > 0:18:15So, Finn, how's training been going for your team?

0:18:15 > 0:18:19It's good. We've been keeping a log of how well we're doing and our time

0:18:19 > 0:18:21and how many we've been able to do.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23Who do you think, out of the two teams,

0:18:23 > 0:18:25is more likely to get the record?

0:18:25 > 0:18:28- Definitely us.- I saw that coming, but excellent.

0:18:28 > 0:18:29Jesse, what could go wrong?

0:18:29 > 0:18:31We need to make sure that, firstly,

0:18:31 > 0:18:34the skipper actually jumps over Georgia.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36If they slip, it's going to go all over.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38And we need to make sure her back doesn't hit off the floor,

0:18:38 > 0:18:41otherwise she's going to end up with a bad back.

0:18:41 > 0:18:42Wow. So, lots of risk.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Yeah!- Prediction, then, how do you think you're going to do?

0:18:45 > 0:18:47Are you going to beat this team?

0:18:47 > 0:18:49If we do as well as we've been doing in training, I think we should.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52Here are the rules.

0:18:52 > 0:18:56Only full 360-degree revolutions of the human skipping rope will count

0:18:56 > 0:18:58towards the total.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00Any failed jumps will not count.

0:19:01 > 0:19:04The target is 40 skips in one minute.

0:19:06 > 0:19:09Dave the Medic is on stand-by for this dangerous record.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12Remember, Acropolis is a highly trained team

0:19:12 > 0:19:15of acrobatic gymnastic experts.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18Do NOT try this yourself.

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Can they break the record?

0:19:20 > 0:19:2454% of our wise watchers in the Bunker predict they will.

0:19:24 > 0:19:27And it's Team A up first.

0:19:27 > 0:19:30So, the two bases - twin brothers Paul and Stephen -

0:19:30 > 0:19:33get to grips with Finn's wrists and ankles,

0:19:33 > 0:19:35and Marcus is ready to start skipping.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Three, two, one - go!

0:19:38 > 0:19:39KLAXON

0:19:41 > 0:19:46Wow! They are flinging him through the air at a frightening pace!

0:19:46 > 0:19:49Why have we picked a room with chandeliers?

0:19:49 > 0:19:52At least it adds to the drama.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55Look how high Marcus jumps to avoids collision with the flying Finn.

0:19:57 > 0:20:01Sharp focus from the two bases - they're in perfect sync.

0:20:01 > 0:20:03That's it, keep it up, guys, keep it up!

0:20:03 > 0:20:07That's 25 skips at the halfway point.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09They're well on course for the target of 40.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12But now they're really battling against tiredness.

0:20:12 > 0:20:14THEY PANT

0:20:14 > 0:20:17You can hear Paul and Stephen breathing heavily with exertion.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20Brilliant effort. And Marcus is feeling it too.

0:20:26 > 0:20:30One tired slip now could bring this awesome foursome crashing to a heap.

0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Time!- Oh, lovely!

0:20:34 > 0:20:37What a dizzying display of hazardous high jumping.

0:20:37 > 0:20:40Finn the human skipping rope looks a little dazed.

0:20:40 > 0:20:44But while he unwinds, let's see how Team B respond.

0:20:44 > 0:20:45Go!

0:20:45 > 0:20:49Unlike Marcus, Jesse is facing sideways as he jumps.

0:20:49 > 0:20:51Could that technique prove to be better?

0:20:52 > 0:20:54The bases - Liam and Angus -

0:20:54 > 0:20:58are whipping Georgia around at a startling speed.

0:20:58 > 0:21:02Absolutely phenomenal flexibility from this human rope.

0:21:02 > 0:21:05Going really strong at the moment, this is great stuff.

0:21:05 > 0:21:09Ooh, a tiny miscalculation, Jesse clipped Angus's arm,

0:21:09 > 0:21:11but somehow they recovered.

0:21:14 > 0:21:18They've matched Team A with 25 skips at the halfway point.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21But the margins are so fine!

0:21:24 > 0:21:28You can see Georgia's T-shirt brush the carpet on some revolutions.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31The bases' arms must be aching.

0:21:31 > 0:21:33Jesse's thighs must be burning.

0:21:33 > 0:21:36Georgia must be dizzy!

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Amazing. Can they keep going?

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Last few seconds...

0:21:41 > 0:21:43That's it, excellent.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47Big push... Ooh!

0:21:47 > 0:21:48Time!

0:21:48 > 0:21:49Whoo!

0:21:50 > 0:21:53Whoa! Jesse bumped into Angus,

0:21:53 > 0:21:55but still somehow leapt over Georgia

0:21:55 > 0:21:58to complete a final skip without disaster.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01So, which team came out on top,

0:22:01 > 0:22:04and did either reach that target of 40 skips?

0:22:04 > 0:22:07It's over to official adjudicator Mark.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12I can tell you both teams exceeded the minimum required.

0:22:12 > 0:22:17The first team achieved 46 skips.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20That is a new world record.

0:22:20 > 0:22:22But there are no celebrations yet,

0:22:22 > 0:22:26because we don't know how many skips Team B managed.

0:22:26 > 0:22:27Second team achieved...

0:22:29 > 0:22:32..48, which is a brand-new Guinness World Records' title!

0:22:32 > 0:22:35They're almost too exhausted to celebrate.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39But what a contest between these towering giants of gymnastics.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42And after that incredi-record, the results are in,

0:22:42 > 0:22:44and our top predictors are...

0:22:44 > 0:22:47- Finlay!- Amrit!

0:22:47 > 0:22:50- Charlie!- Athena!

0:22:50 > 0:22:53- Isabel!- Ms McCrory!

0:22:53 > 0:22:56- Angus!- Ms Fullerton!

0:22:56 > 0:22:58- Conor!- And Jack!

0:22:59 > 0:23:03They all predicted with an amazing accuracy

0:23:03 > 0:23:05of 74% or more across the show.

0:23:05 > 0:23:09But only one will be chosen at random by our supercomputer

0:23:09 > 0:23:11to star in our final challenge.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13And that person is...

0:23:14 > 0:23:18- ..Isabel!- Great job, Isabel!

0:23:18 > 0:23:23Chocolate-loving Isabel can balance on one foot for up to ten minutes.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26I can barely manage that on two feet.

0:23:26 > 0:23:30The animal she'd most like to be is, of course, a narwhal.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33Genuine fact - that horn is actually a really long tooth.

0:23:33 > 0:23:37Thankfully, we don't have them. But if we did, I think...

0:23:37 > 0:23:39Stop it, Al!

0:23:39 > 0:23:41And her favourite sound is whale song.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44- WHALE SONG - Soothing.

0:23:44 > 0:23:48Isabel must now choose which two of our Officially Competitive icons

0:23:48 > 0:23:51will team up to attempt the record for...

0:23:57 > 0:24:01Between them, our heroes have broken chopstick record 11 times.

0:24:01 > 0:24:05Five came from Cherry, six from Steve, and,

0:24:05 > 0:24:07erm...none from Ray.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09The choice should be easy.

0:24:09 > 0:24:13Now, Isabel, the power is well and truly in your hands.

0:24:13 > 0:24:17Because you have to choose which of our two competitors will be facing

0:24:17 > 0:24:20this final challenge, and who is going to end up...

0:24:20 > 0:24:23In the gunge tank of doom!

0:24:23 > 0:24:25SINISTER MUSIC

0:24:28 > 0:24:29Mr Cherry.

0:24:29 > 0:24:31CHEERING

0:24:34 > 0:24:36He's taking it pretty well.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38HE WAILS

0:24:40 > 0:24:43So, for the first time ever, Ray and Steve -

0:24:43 > 0:24:45Team Ray-ve, I'm calling them -

0:24:45 > 0:24:48will hunt together in a small pack in search of glory.

0:24:48 > 0:24:51Which leaves Mr Cherry in the gunge tank.

0:24:51 > 0:24:55He looks scared, and rightly so.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58Ray is useless with chopsticks.

0:24:58 > 0:25:01Sorry, Cherry. Let's get the rules.

0:25:01 > 0:25:05The 30 jelly babies must be five different colours and laid out

0:25:05 > 0:25:06randomly on a plate.

0:25:06 > 0:25:08Using one pair of chopsticks,

0:25:08 > 0:25:10Steve and Ray must alternately

0:25:10 > 0:25:12pick up and sort one baby at a time,

0:25:12 > 0:25:14while always keeping one hand

0:25:14 > 0:25:15behind their back.

0:25:18 > 0:25:21If they sort all 30 jelly babies in under 54 seconds,

0:25:21 > 0:25:24they'll claim a world record.

0:25:24 > 0:25:28If they don't...Cherry-san will be taking a shower...

0:25:28 > 0:25:29..of gunge!

0:25:29 > 0:25:32Once Isabel has randomised the jelly babies,

0:25:32 > 0:25:33it's over to Shantha.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Three, two, one - go! - KLAXON

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Steve, the chief of chopsticks, goes first.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44And amazingly, no mistake from Ray.

0:25:44 > 0:25:48Even the passing of sticks is as smooth as silk.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51Ray grabs from the bottom, Steve from higher up.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53Top teamwork from these unnatural allies.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58But there's the first fumble, and it's Steve!

0:26:00 > 0:26:03Shock waves rip through the Bunker as a white jelly baby slips

0:26:03 > 0:26:06from Steve's vice-like chopstick grip.

0:26:07 > 0:26:09But they're quickly back on track.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12That 54-second target is still within reach.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16But now a fumble from Ray,

0:26:16 > 0:26:19as he can't quite grasp that green baby.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22It's a candy catastrophe!

0:26:22 > 0:26:25Mr Cherry is beginning to fear the worst.

0:26:25 > 0:26:30Last few now. But Ray's dropped another green one.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33Just choose another colour, man.

0:26:33 > 0:26:37Sizz Biz bravely hides his fury at those green-coloured gaffes.

0:26:38 > 0:26:39And that's it.

0:26:39 > 0:26:41KLAXON

0:26:41 > 0:26:42Superb sweetie sorting.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44For the most part.

0:26:44 > 0:26:46But did they dip under 54 seconds

0:26:46 > 0:26:48for a baby-bunging world record?

0:26:48 > 0:26:51Or will Cherry get a gunging?

0:26:51 > 0:26:53Today, Ray and Steve...

0:26:54 > 0:26:55..you managed a time...

0:26:58 > 0:27:00..of one minute 23 seconds.

0:27:00 > 0:27:02So, no record.

0:27:02 > 0:27:05Mr Cherry looks distraught.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08Not that the crowd seem to care.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11It's time for the glop to drop.

0:27:11 > 0:27:16ALL: Three, two, one - go!

0:27:25 > 0:27:29Mr Cherry - four-time Officially Competitive champion -

0:27:29 > 0:27:31immersed in a maelstrom of mucusy muck.

0:27:31 > 0:27:33Magical.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35Oh, wasn't that messy, marvellous mayhem?

0:27:35 > 0:27:38More next time. See you!

0:27:38 > 0:27:40# Well, out on the lake, Lee surfed the wake

0:27:40 > 0:27:43# And did a record-breaking 18 spins

0:27:43 > 0:27:46# Acropolis amazed with their skipping display

0:27:46 > 0:27:48# And Georgia's team just beat Finn's

0:27:48 > 0:27:50# Patrick took to the skies

0:27:50 > 0:27:52# And broke a record way up high

0:27:52 > 0:27:56# Steve got a victory by throwing six bags of tea

0:27:56 > 0:28:00# And the jelly baby failed and Cherry got gungey

0:28:00 > 0:28:05# They've all been Officially Amazing! #
