0:00:190:00:23

This is Officially Amazing.

0:00:250:00:27

I'm Ben Shires and we have been scouring the globe to bring

0:00:270:00:31

you the fastest, longest,

0:00:310:00:35

highest, strongest, youngest,

0:00:350:00:39

and weirdest world records we can get our sticky hands on.

0:00:390:00:44

Coming up in today's show, we see some extraordinary official

0:00:440:00:47

Guinness World Record attempts, including...

0:00:470:00:51

We see perhaps the most British record attempt possible

0:00:510:00:54

as this woman tries to become the fastest chip-wrapper in the world.

0:00:540:00:58

-Done.

-And this juggling genius tries to bite his way to a new record.

0:00:580:01:04

USA reporter Al hotfoots it to Las Vegas to meet

0:01:050:01:08

a record breaking fire-breather.

0:01:080:01:10

And this'll make your hair stand on end.

0:01:110:01:14

Our Japanese reporter, Haruka,

0:01:140:01:15

is in Tokyo to find the world's tallest Mohawk.

0:01:150:01:18

But first, let's meet this man as he attempts to enter the

0:01:200:01:23

record books on the back of a pram.

0:01:230:01:26

It's...

0:01:260:01:28

This is Shakespeare Raceway in Stratford-upon-Avon,

0:01:330:01:36

where you'd usually see souped-up supercars.

0:01:360:01:40

But today, I'm here to see something entirely different.

0:01:400:01:43

A much stranger vehicle is going to try and set a new world record.

0:01:430:01:48

Isn't that right, little Ben?

0:01:480:01:50

Come on, buddy. We practised this. You now say...

0:01:510:01:56

Yes, big Ben. This is one of the silliest speed records ever.

0:01:560:01:59

But it's not for dummies like you.

0:01:590:02:02

All right then, smarty-pants, what is the record?

0:02:040:02:08

It's for the snappily-titled...

0:02:080:02:10

Without a baby in it, of course.

0:02:140:02:16

Serial record breaker and plumber Colin Furze

0:02:160:02:19

specialises in homemade speed machines with a difference,

0:02:190:02:23

and he's recently been working on this little baby...

0:02:230:02:26

carrier.

0:02:260:02:27

Now, I'm no expert but I think I know that prams don't

0:02:270:02:30

generally come with engines attached. What is this under here?

0:02:300:02:33

This is basically a 125 cc motorbike engine.

0:02:330:02:36

I've put it in the pram where you would normally

0:02:360:02:39

put your shopping or your nappies.

0:02:390:02:40

I'm kind of guessing that you don't generally put babies in this,

0:02:400:02:43

-is that right?

-Not when it's going fast, no.

0:02:430:02:46

You can use it as a normal pram for pushing,

0:02:460:02:48

and you could stick a baby in it if you wanted, but it's not advisable.

0:02:480:02:51

Riding instead of a baby is a highly-trained stunt doll.

0:02:510:02:54

Oh, she's very realistic.

0:02:550:02:57

OK then, let's get the rules for this absolutely ridiculous

0:02:570:03:01

record attempt. To get a Guinness World Record,

0:03:010:03:03

Colin's creation must resemble a pram. Well, it does.

0:03:030:03:07

Be capable of accommodating a baby. Aw, cute.

0:03:070:03:11

Nappy change needed, I think.

0:03:110:03:13

And thirdly, it needs to go fast. Very fast.

0:03:130:03:17

It needs to go faster than 30 miles per hour to get to him

0:03:170:03:20

that new world record.

0:03:200:03:21

I'm not really sure what happens if it goes on the grass.

0:03:210:03:24

Let's hope it doesn't.

0:03:240:03:25

Today is actually Colin's birthday, but he doesn't want jelly

0:03:250:03:28

and ice cream. He wants a world record.

0:03:280:03:31

On previous birthdays, Colin has set world records for the largest ever

0:03:310:03:35

bonfire, the longest motorcycle and the fastest mobility scooter.

0:03:350:03:41

And look at that!

0:03:410:03:42

Colin has brought that very same mobility scooter along today.

0:03:420:03:46

-If you want to turn heads, then get one of these.

-How fast can it go?

0:03:460:03:49

-My world record is 71 miles an hour.

-That's crazy.

0:03:490:03:53

But it's also officially amazing, can I have a go, please?

0:03:530:03:56

You can't have a go on this one, but I've got another one you can try.

0:03:560:03:59

I like the way you're talking. So just for fun,

0:03:590:04:01

in lane one it's Colin Furze on his pimped-up 125 cc

0:04:010:04:05

mobility scooter, which has five gears and twin exhausts.

0:04:050:04:10

In lane two, it's me on a normal mobility scooter,

0:04:100:04:13

which has none of that, dressed as my granny.

0:04:130:04:16

I hope she doesn't mind I've borrowed her best shoes.

0:04:160:04:19

So, who do you think is going to go fastest?

0:04:190:04:21

Maybe I can psych him out by looking tough.

0:04:210:04:24

No, I can't psych him out by looking tough.

0:04:250:04:28

Three, two, one, go!

0:04:280:04:31

There goes Colin, really put the hours into that machine,

0:04:310:04:33

whereas I have not. And it's blatantly clear to see now.

0:04:330:04:37

He's whizzing off into the sunset,

0:04:370:04:39

there's no whizzing as far as I'm concerned.

0:04:390:04:42

Slow and steady wins the race.

0:04:420:04:44

Or not.

0:04:440:04:45

So, we've seen that Colin's scooter is incredible,

0:04:450:04:48

but can his pram get him another world record?

0:04:480:04:51

He's making his final preparations.

0:04:540:04:56

Will the mechanical masterpiece make it up to the magic 30 miles an hour?

0:04:560:05:00

Will Colin get another world record?

0:05:000:05:02

Well, we're not going to tell you now. We're only five minutes into

0:05:020:05:05

the show. We'll come back later to find out.

0:05:050:05:07

Time now to go over to America and to this man,

0:05:090:05:12

our US reporter, Al Jackson.

0:05:120:05:15

He's about to meet a record holder who is...

0:05:150:05:17

Uh-oh.

0:05:230:05:24

Thanks, Ben.

0:05:280:05:29

Welcome to Las Vegas, USA, where I'm going to meet

0:05:290:05:32

one of the hottest record breakers there is. I'm excited.

0:05:320:05:36

So are they.

0:05:360:05:38

Now I understand why my friend Ben was too chicken to come meet

0:05:380:05:41

this world record holder.

0:05:410:05:43

I mean, it's officially weird. It's officially scary. Officially ugly.

0:05:430:05:48

Fire is really dangerous and not something to mess around with.

0:05:520:05:56

This man is a professional fire-breather, but even he needs to

0:05:560:05:59

be extremely careful, otherwise

0:05:590:06:02

that lovely long hair will get singed.

0:06:020:06:04

Antonio Restivo may look like he's in a rock band,

0:06:040:06:08

that's because he's in a rock band.

0:06:080:06:10

No, not really.

0:06:100:06:11

Antonio is actually the world's highest fire-breather.

0:06:110:06:16

In 2011, he recorded the highest flame ever blown by a fire-breather.

0:06:160:06:21

It was a massive 8.05 metres in length.

0:06:210:06:25

That's longer than a fire engine,

0:06:250:06:27

something Antonio probably needs from time to time.

0:06:270:06:30

Making a flame that high takes a lot of training,

0:06:300:06:33

so we won't be trying to beat his record today.

0:06:330:06:35

But he's still got plenty of hot stuff to show us.

0:06:350:06:38

First though, I've got one question I have asked this man of fire.

0:06:380:06:43

-So, Antonio, why do you do this?

-Because I love fire.

0:06:450:06:49

SCARY MUSIC

0:06:490:06:51

You should do that any time a guy comes up wanting to

0:06:510:06:53

-date your daughter. "What were you saying?"

-"What do you mean?

0:06:530:06:56

"I'm sorry, I didn't hear that clear."

0:06:560:06:58

Obviously, none of us should ever play with fire.

0:07:000:07:03

But because Antonio's a trained professional with over 20 years

0:07:030:07:06

experience, he's agreed to give me some training.

0:07:060:07:09

I have a special technique that we're going to go through.

0:07:090:07:12

-I'm going to teach you how to train to be a fire-breather.

-I'm excited.

0:07:120:07:15

-Yeah.

-All right! Time to become Al Jackson, breather of fire.

0:07:150:07:19

-All right, Antonio. It's time for the big moment.

-Yeah.

0:07:190:07:23

I want to see how you train. I want all the cool stuff, like,

0:07:230:07:25

-bring it on.

-You want to learn how to be the best fire-breather?

0:07:250:07:28

-I want to learn right now.

-Here it is.

0:07:280:07:30

-These are...balloons.

-Balloons, yeah.

0:07:300:07:33

Got to blow it up in one breath.

0:07:330:07:36

Balloons are not what I had in mind.

0:07:360:07:38

You only get one breath to do it, now. So when you start,

0:07:380:07:40

you only get one shot.

0:07:400:07:41

-I think this is broken.

-What's up?

0:07:430:07:46

-This one's broken.

-That one's broken?

0:07:460:07:49

-Take that one. Try that one.

-I got this.

0:07:490:07:51

Sadly, I can't even blow one up. I quit.

0:07:510:07:54

Let's make sure that there's nothing faulty.

0:07:540:07:56

Clearly, I'm not destined to become Al Jackson, fire-breather, after all.

0:07:560:08:00

In my defence, I started that one for you.

0:08:000:08:03

Although using balloons might seem like a long way from an

0:08:030:08:06

eight-metre-high fireball, they're Antonio's secret weapon.

0:08:060:08:10

Practising with them increases the size of Antonio's lungs.

0:08:100:08:13

I think this one likes you.

0:08:130:08:14

Which makes him able to breathe fire bigger

0:08:140:08:17

and longer than anyone else in the world.

0:08:170:08:21

So that's Antonio Restivo, the world's highest fire-breather.

0:08:250:08:30

Officially amazing and the guy I'm going to call the next time

0:08:300:08:33

I can't light the barbecue.

0:08:330:08:34

Thanks, Al. Now it's time for Haruka to give you a quiz in...

0:08:370:08:40

This is part of a Guinness World Record holder,

0:08:440:08:47

but what is their record? Is it - the world's hairiest chest?

0:08:470:08:51

The world's most expensive poodle?

0:08:510:08:53

Or the world's biggest Afro hairstyle?

0:08:530:08:56

Well, if you're shouting out poodle, then you can now feel justifiably...

0:08:560:09:00

wrong.

0:09:000:09:02

Because it's the world's largest Afro, measuring 16 centimetres tall,

0:09:020:09:06

21 centimetres wide, and 1.39 metres all the way round.

0:09:060:09:11

It belongs to American Aevin Dugas. She might spend a fortune on shampoo,

0:09:110:09:15

but has probably never had to buy a pillow in her life.

0:09:150:09:18

And talking of super-sized records, what about this British beauty?

0:09:180:09:22

It's the world's heaviest onion,

0:09:220:09:25

weighing in at a massive 8.15 kilograms.

0:09:250:09:28

It was grown by the UK's very own Peter Glazebrook.

0:09:280:09:31

He's the one on the left.

0:09:310:09:33

It's huge and perfectly formed, unlike this monster.

0:09:330:09:36

Argh!

0:09:360:09:38

Weighing 7.85 kilograms, that's the world's heaviest parsnip.

0:09:380:09:42

You'd need a lot of gravy to wash that down with your Sunday lunch.

0:09:420:09:46

Look, it's attacking its owner!

0:09:460:09:48

And finally, from something hideously ugly, that's the parsnip,

0:09:490:09:52

not the man, to something cute.

0:09:520:09:56

Aw.

0:09:560:09:57

This is Bruschi, who has the largest eyes of a dog,

0:09:570:10:00

measuring 28 millimetres in diameter.

0:10:000:10:03

Bruschi can look fierce, but not when he's dressed as a bumblebee.

0:10:030:10:07

-Aw.

-Thanks, Haruka. I'm off to meet a man who's...

0:10:070:10:11

There are loads of people who love breaking Guinness World Records.

0:10:180:10:22

Today, we're going to meet one of them.

0:10:220:10:24

This is Chayne Hultgren, who's also known as the Space Cowboy.

0:10:240:10:28

So how's he going to try and become officially amazing today?

0:10:280:10:31

Wish I could juggle.

0:10:310:10:33

Well, the new world record is for the most bites taken from apples

0:10:330:10:37

whilst juggling them in a minute.

0:10:370:10:39

Yes, it's the biting apple juggle record attempt.

0:10:410:10:45

To get it, the Space Cowboy must take 100 bites or more

0:10:450:10:48

from his three apples in a minute.

0:10:480:10:50

He must use two hands to juggle with

0:10:500:10:52

and must take a bite out of a different apple each time.

0:10:520:10:55

Them's the rules, here we go.

0:10:550:10:57

This is the moment of truth.

0:10:570:10:59

Hopefully, we're about to set a new world record.

0:10:590:11:02

Craig here is the official adjudicator,

0:11:020:11:04

he's going to be counting how many bites you to take.

0:11:040:11:07

-So, if you're feeling ready, are you?

-I was born ready.

0:11:070:11:11

-Craig, are you ready?

-I'm ready.

-And are you at home ready? Good.

0:11:110:11:16

Three, two, one, go.

0:11:180:11:22

It's a great start. Look at those hands and those jaws go.

0:11:220:11:26

The Space Cowboy there, using a different apple for each bite.

0:11:260:11:29

He's read the rules, that's good.

0:11:290:11:32

Oh, he's nearly dropped one there, but it didn't touch the floor

0:11:320:11:34

so he's OK to carry on.

0:11:340:11:36

Remember, he needs to do at least 100 bites in the 60 seconds

0:11:360:11:39

to set a new record. That's a lot of bites and a lot of mess,

0:11:390:11:43

but there's no rule you that says you can't be messy, so he's OK.

0:11:430:11:47

He has to keep up that rhythm to make sure he's biting

0:11:470:11:50

a different apple each turn.

0:11:500:11:52

30 seconds.

0:11:530:11:56

I really hope he's still hungry. Time's almost up. Can he do it?

0:11:560:12:00

Five, four, three,

0:12:040:12:08

two, one. Stop.

0:12:080:12:11

That's nice.

0:12:110:12:12

OK, that's it, it's a minute. He had to beat 100 to get the record.

0:12:120:12:17

Craig, has he done it?

0:12:170:12:18

He did 108. That's a brand new Guinness World Record.

0:12:200:12:23

CHEERING

0:12:230:12:26

Well, congratulations. It's a new world record

0:12:300:12:33

and it's officially amazing.

0:12:330:12:35

CHEERING

0:12:350:12:36

We'll see the Space Cowboy again soon for another record attempt.

0:12:360:12:39

But somehow, I don't think even he would fancy this next one.

0:12:390:12:43

And that's because it's...

0:12:430:12:44

This is a forest in Finland.

0:12:500:12:53

These are people slapping themselves in a forest in Finland. But why?

0:12:540:12:59

Well, I can tell you it involves these,

0:12:590:13:02

and plenty of them, mosquitoes.

0:13:020:13:04

Those buzzy, whiny little flies that bite your ankles

0:13:040:13:07

when you're on holiday.

0:13:070:13:09

Believe it or not, these people are actually taking part

0:13:090:13:11

in the world mosquito killing championships.

0:13:110:13:14

# Another one bites the dust. #

0:13:140:13:16

It seems incredible, but it's absolutely true.

0:13:160:13:21

It started 20 years ago and it's an annual contest held in

0:13:210:13:24

Pelkosenniemi, Finland. The aim is simple,

0:13:240:13:28

to kill lots of mosquitoes using just your hands with

0:13:280:13:31

no weapons or chemicals allowed.

0:13:310:13:33

Competitors simply use themselves as bait. So in terms of skill,

0:13:330:13:38

all you need for this one is to look tasty to a mossie.

0:13:380:13:41

Some people clearly think the more flesh available,

0:13:410:13:44

the better your chances.

0:13:440:13:45

Contestants then sit in the forest and wait to be bitten.

0:13:450:13:49

And when one does come to bite them, they splat it.

0:13:490:13:52

# Another one bites the dust. #

0:13:520:13:55

They then run to the judges' table

0:13:550:13:56

and show them their squashed mossie as evidence.

0:13:560:14:00

And as for the judges, well, the very latest insect storing

0:14:000:14:04

equipment and digital counting technology...

0:14:040:14:07

has all been abandoned in favour of a long bit of polystyrene,

0:14:070:14:10

some sticky tape and a pair of tweezers.

0:14:100:14:13

OK. So it's quite basic and a little bit strange,

0:14:130:14:17

but I've tried it myself, you know, and I was soon bitten by the bug.

0:14:170:14:22

But it's no laughing matter for these guys.

0:14:220:14:24

The judging table is even guarded by police. As we're in a forest,

0:14:240:14:28

they must be from... Special Branch.

0:14:280:14:31

And here he is.

0:14:310:14:33

The world-record mossie killer, Henri Pellonpaa,

0:14:330:14:35

who killed an impressive 21 mosquitoes in the five minutes

0:14:350:14:39

allowed, setting a brand-new world record, earning him

0:14:390:14:42

a trophy, and hopefully, some soothing cream for his bites.

0:14:420:14:45

And what's more, this spectator clapped so much,

0:14:450:14:48

he killed enough mossies to come fourth. So well done him.

0:14:480:14:51

Humans using animals there to break a world record,

0:14:520:14:55

but sometimes it's the animals who set records of their own.

0:14:550:14:58

It's time for the animalympics.

0:15:000:15:05

# It's the animalympics These animals are going for the gold

0:15:050:15:10

# The brawn of the faun of nature Heroes who have stories

0:15:100:15:13

# To be told

0:15:130:15:15

# Luciali was a tortoise You'd expect him to be slow

0:15:150:15:20

# But back in 1977 He gave racing a go

0:15:200:15:24

# He was quickest over the course Of five and a half metres

0:15:240:15:29

# He finished in 43.7 seconds What an incredible creature

0:15:290:15:33

# But to win more than once You got to dig down deep

0:15:330:15:38

# That's what Lamborghini did He was a super speedy sheep

0:15:380:15:42

# He won 165 races on a farm In Buckinghamshire

0:15:420:15:47

# I bet he's hard to catch When a sheepshearer comes near

0:15:470:15:50

# It's the animalympics Where the best of the beasts

0:15:520:15:55

# Are brave enough to fight Zoological legends

0:15:550:15:57

# The greatest animal athletes All right!

0:15:570:16:01

# Now some record-holding creatures Are tiny rather than big

0:16:010:16:06

# And small ones don't come cooler Than a jumping guinea pig

0:16:060:16:11

# Patch, he hails from Reading And has beautiful long hair

0:16:110:16:15

# And in 2011 he jumped 22 centimetres in the air

0:16:150:16:19

# What goes up must come down And you won't believe your eyes

0:16:190:16:23

# At the story of Miss Piggy And her record longest dive.

0:16:230:16:28

# 3.13 metres through the air Flying porkus into snout

0:16:280:16:32

# Whoever said that pigs can't fly Had better just watch out

0:16:320:16:37

# It's the animalympics Only the amazing pass the test

0:16:370:16:42

# And they're ready for glory Nature's titans are here

0:16:420:16:45

# To be the best. #

0:16:450:16:47

That poor chicken. Well, he should have been quicker.

0:16:490:16:52

Officially fast.

0:16:520:16:55

Part two.

0:16:550:16:56

We're back in Stratford, where preparations have been

0:16:580:17:02

going on for a high-speed challenge with a difference.

0:17:020:17:05

Normally, powerful supercars go up and down this track,

0:17:050:17:09

but today something rather different is about to race down it

0:17:090:17:12

because plumber and inventor Colin Furze

0:17:120:17:14

has been warming up what he hopes will be the world's fastest pram.

0:17:140:17:18

He's been preparing for this for a year

0:17:200:17:23

and is now just minutes away from his world record attempt.

0:17:230:17:26

So let's hope he's built his pram properly.

0:17:280:17:31

Man and machine must reach a speed of 30 miles per hour.

0:17:310:17:35

If they don't, or if that pram breaks down,

0:17:350:17:38

Colin will not be going home with a Guinness World Record today.

0:17:380:17:41

Just waiting for the green light now. Come on, Colin.

0:17:430:17:46

Oh, that's it, he's off.

0:17:480:17:49

Well, he's already going faster than any pram I've ever seen. Oh, dear.

0:17:500:17:55

I imagine our stunt doll has just filled her nappy there.

0:17:550:17:58

The front wheel there lifting off the ground,

0:17:580:18:00

he doesn't want to be doing wheelies at this stage.

0:18:000:18:03

Well, it looks fast but is it fast enough?

0:18:030:18:06

There's a speed camera on that track that will tell us

0:18:060:18:09

just how fast he goes.

0:18:090:18:11

And look at him go! He's as cool as a cucumber with a pram.

0:18:110:18:15

Nothing seems to rattle this man. Come on, Colin.

0:18:150:18:18

That's it.

0:18:200:18:21

He's crossed the finish line but was he going fast enough when he did?

0:18:210:18:25

CHEERING

0:18:250:18:27

It's the moment of truth. What do you reckon?

0:18:270:18:30

Has Colin's pram won him another world record?

0:18:300:18:32

OK, Colin, let's get the helmet off.

0:18:320:18:34

Colin built that the pram from scratch and he pushed it to

0:18:360:18:39

the limit, but did he and his magnificent machine go fast enough?

0:18:390:18:43

-Over to official adjudicator Gaz how to find out.

-Well, Colin...

0:18:430:18:47

I'm happy to say that with 53.46 miles per hour,

0:18:500:18:53

you are a Guinness World Record holder here today. Congratulations.

0:18:530:18:57

Colin's done it.

0:19:010:19:02

That's the second record we've set on the show today.

0:19:020:19:05

If you thought hanging off the back of a speeding pram was

0:19:070:19:10

hair-raising, wait till you see what our Japanese reporter, Haruka,

0:19:100:19:14

has got in store for us.

0:19:140:19:15

It's...

0:19:150:19:16

Konichiwa. I'm Haruka Kuroda, and welcome to Tokyo, Japan.

0:19:220:19:26

Let's talk hair.

0:19:300:19:32

Gaga, Beckham, Chezza Cole, and even our own Ben Shires.

0:19:320:19:38

They're all famous fashion icons who are trying to reinvent

0:19:380:19:42

new hairstyles. Some are better than others.

0:19:420:19:45

But when it comes to hairstyles that really do stand out

0:19:450:19:49

from the crowd, there's one man who towers above the rest.

0:19:490:19:52

Meet Kazuhiro Watanabe.

0:19:520:19:55

A world record holder with seriously tall hair.

0:19:550:19:58

So, Kazuhiro, your hair looks quite interesting now,

0:19:580:20:03

but it's not exactly what I was expecting.

0:20:030:20:05

HE SPEAKS JAPANESE

0:20:050:20:08

-TRANSLATION:

-'It's not ready yet, love.

0:20:080:20:10

'I'm going to get it washed and then lie down over there.'

0:20:100:20:13

So whilst Kazuhiro gets his hair done on the floor, I'm going to have a

0:20:130:20:17

slightly more conventional freestyle in a comfy chair.

0:20:170:20:21

Konichiwa.

0:20:210:20:22

SHE SPEAKS JAPANESE

0:20:220:20:25

I'll have what he's having.

0:20:260:20:28

What does your wife think of your hair?

0:20:320:20:35

'My wife's always asking me to get it cut.'

0:20:350:20:37

So what would you do if you wake up and you were suddenly a bald man?

0:20:440:20:49

'Well, I'd go back to bed and sleep it off.'

0:20:490:20:52

If you want to recreate the world's tallest Mohawk,

0:20:530:20:56

here's what you'll need -

0:20:560:20:57

One head with hair, lots of it.

0:20:580:21:01

Six and a half years to grow it long enough,

0:21:010:21:04

a truckload of styling products,

0:21:040:21:06

three pairs of hands and four hairdryers.

0:21:060:21:09

And two hours to spare,

0:21:090:21:12

because that's how long it's taken to

0:21:120:21:14

create Kazuhiro's record-breaking barnet.

0:21:140:21:17

But finally, we are ready to hit the streets.

0:21:170:21:20

Here he comes. That's the top of Kazuhiro's hair,

0:21:200:21:23

and that's top of his head.

0:21:230:21:26

A whole 113.5 centimetres below it,

0:21:260:21:30

making Kazuhiro the proud owner of the world's tallest Mohawk.

0:21:300:21:34

To be honest, I'm pretty pleased with my own Mohawk, even if it is

0:21:340:21:38

a whole metre shorter than Kazuhiro's.

0:21:380:21:41

Let's see what the people of Tokyo think of his record-breaking hairdo.

0:21:410:21:45

Well, clearly they think Kazuhiro is really cool.

0:21:450:21:48

But would they still think the same if they'd seen him

0:21:480:21:51

leaving the salon earlier on?

0:21:510:21:53

CIRCUS MUSIC

0:21:530:21:56

I think not.

0:21:560:21:58

In spite of his comedy waddle,

0:21:580:22:00

Kazuhiro is still the owner of officially amazing hair.

0:22:000:22:04

Ben, as impressive as your quiff is, you've still got a long way to go.

0:22:040:22:09

All right, Haruka, I'm doing my best.

0:22:090:22:12

Enough with your hair-raising Japanese records,

0:22:120:22:14

back to good old Blighty now for a record attempt that is...

0:22:140:22:17

Officially British.

0:22:170:22:19

Who's up for a record that involves a bit of rapping?

0:22:210:22:24

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Not that kind of rapping.

0:22:280:22:32

Where did you even come from? Go on, beat it.

0:22:320:22:35

No, the type of wrapping I'm talking about is for chips.

0:22:360:22:40

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.

0:22:400:22:43

The Americans, yes, they do it bigger, they do it bolder,

0:22:430:22:46

better? No. We do it properly in the UK with a tasty,

0:22:460:22:50

if slightly greasy, snack food.

0:22:500:22:52

And here in Maltby near Rotherham is where it's all about to happen.

0:22:520:22:57

But before I witness the magic, I need to get rid of my rubbish.

0:22:570:23:01

Right, let's you and me

0:23:120:23:13

take a look at a little something that makes Britain great.

0:23:130:23:16

This record is the ultimate potato challenge,

0:23:170:23:20

the pinnacle of food parcelling,

0:23:200:23:23

A death-defrying attempt.

0:23:230:23:26

Only a valiant and wise wrapping warrior would take on such a task.

0:23:260:23:30

-Meet Stephanie Celik. Let's hope she's

-haddock

-enough practice.

0:23:300:23:35

I for one can't wait to find out the trade secrets from this brave

0:23:350:23:39

contender. This sounds like it's quite an intense record.

0:23:390:23:43

What kind of training do you have to undertake to reach the top?

0:23:430:23:46

Not much.

0:23:460:23:47

Do you have any coaches, any special kind of people that come in,

0:23:490:23:52

get you trained up for this, any breathing techniques maybe?

0:23:520:23:55

-Not really.

-Nothing like that?

-Just natural.

-Are you a machine?

0:23:550:23:59

Not really, I just like to be fast.

0:23:590:24:01

Awkward!

0:24:010:24:03

If Stephanie wants to set a new Guinness World Record,

0:24:030:24:06

she'll need to wrap five portions in under 60 seconds.

0:24:060:24:10

And stick to these rules -

0:24:100:24:12

Each of the five chip portions must include salt and vinegar,

0:24:120:24:16

each must weigh at least 350g,

0:24:160:24:18

and they must all remain tightly wrapped.

0:24:180:24:21

By my calculations, it's going to be about one portion every 12 seconds.

0:24:210:24:25

-Is it possible?

-It is.

-Excellent.

0:24:250:24:28

That's the kind of confidence you need to break records.

0:24:280:24:31

Let's give it a go. OK, I'm going to count you down from three,

0:24:310:24:34

and then we'll do this. Three, two, one, go.

0:24:340:24:38

And she's off.

0:24:380:24:40

Nothing attracts a crowd like a woman wrapping chips and boy,

0:24:400:24:43

is she wrapping chips.

0:24:430:24:46

Official adjudicator, Manu there, watching the wrapping like a hawk.

0:24:460:24:50

A hungry one.

0:24:500:24:51

Remember, she needs to wrap five portions in under one minute to

0:24:510:24:54

set a new record. And let's look at that again to make sure she's doing

0:24:540:24:58

everything correctly.

0:24:580:25:00

There we can see the salt and vinegar going on.

0:25:010:25:03

Looks like a good-sized portion to me, so hopefully the weight is OK.

0:25:030:25:06

Some tight wrapping there.

0:25:080:25:10

HE MOUTHS

0:25:120:25:13

Remember, each portion must stay wrapped. One chip has escaped.

0:25:190:25:23

Oh, oh, there goes another.

0:25:230:25:25

Might this mean the portion is underweight?

0:25:250:25:27

Time is nearly up.

0:25:300:25:31

-Stop.

-This is going to be very close.

0:25:330:25:37

Manu's going to go off and weigh those chips.

0:25:370:25:40

Hopefully, it's going to be worth the weight.

0:25:400:25:43

Oh, the crowd looks tense.

0:25:430:25:45

That's either because they're watching the weighing

0:25:450:25:47

or they're hungry.

0:25:470:25:49

-How do you think it went?

-I'm hoping it went all right, I'm hoping.

0:25:500:25:53

Time-wise, it's always difficult to judge a minute.

0:25:550:25:58

Do you think you were within the time?

0:25:580:26:00

I'm hoping I was within the time. I think I was.

0:26:000:26:02

OK, the tension is rife.

0:26:060:26:09

Manu, has she done it?

0:26:090:26:11

Well, so we've weighed the chips and you're well in there.

0:26:110:26:16

So the weight is fine. They have remained closed.

0:26:160:26:20

Well, that's two things she's got right and we know the salt

0:26:200:26:23

and vinegar went on. So all that matters now is the time.

0:26:230:26:26

Did Stephanie wrap all the chips in under one minute?

0:26:260:26:30

The 60 seconds was the time to beat.

0:26:300:26:33

And you well within two seconds, but which side?

0:26:330:26:35

It's actually 58.04.

0:26:400:26:42

CHEERING

0:26:420:26:45

Thank you very much.

0:26:450:26:48

-Look at that. Stephanie, how do you feel?

-I feel absolutely amazing.

0:26:480:26:51

Can you stomach to see any more chips ever again?

0:26:510:26:53

-I'll be back in the morning serving my chips.

-There's a true champion.

0:26:530:26:57

Officially tasty and officially amazing. Well done.

0:26:570:27:01

-Thank you very much.

-Well, what a way to wrap up the show.

0:27:010:27:06

See you next time for more Officially Amazing records.
