0:00:19 > 0:00:22# Officially, officially, officially
0:00:22 > 0:00:25# Amazing! #
0:00:25 > 0:00:30MUMBLES THROUGH MASK
0:00:30 > 0:00:31COUGHS AND SPLUTTERS
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Hello and welcome to Officially Amazing.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39I'm Ben Shires and I can guarantee you a fantastic show today.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42This is the show that brings you some of the stretchiest...
0:00:43 > 0:00:45..strangest...
0:00:46 > 0:00:48..sportiest...
0:00:50 > 0:00:53..and silliest records out there.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56First, here's what's coming up later in the programme.
0:00:56 > 0:01:00We have some incredible Guinness World Record attempts for you today
0:01:00 > 0:01:01including...
0:01:03 > 0:01:07I head to Loch Ness, but I'm not there for the monster.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10I'm there to track down the man with an unequalled record for trying
0:01:10 > 0:01:12to find Nessie.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18We witness a party-popping record attempt that you could try
0:01:18 > 0:01:20yourselves. Yes, that's right.
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Sizzlin' Steve's having a party and you're all invited.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30When Al orders a pizza, he orders big but not as record-breakingly big
0:01:30 > 0:01:32as the one he's helping to make today.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37And Haruka finds out what you get
0:01:37 > 0:01:41when you cross 2,000 bottles with a large slice of amazingness.
0:01:43 > 0:01:44But first...
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Ha-ha!
0:01:48 > 0:01:51A-a-a-a-a-a-a-gh!
0:01:59 > 0:02:03I'm here at Crown Lakes near Peterborough where people come to
0:02:03 > 0:02:06enjoy the wildlife or to pursue some of the leisure activities,
0:02:06 > 0:02:11perhaps a little bit of relaxing fishing, or a spot of boating.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Or, if you're Mark Corcoran, something a little more...active.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Forget Iron Man.
0:02:19 > 0:02:23This is a real-life Waterjetpack Man.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32This man uses jets of water to power himself out of the lake
0:02:32 > 0:02:37and up into the air. So, how on earth does he do that?
0:02:37 > 0:02:42Well, Mark is attached to a jet ski which sucks in and shoots out water
0:02:42 > 0:02:46through a big long tube attached to a platform underneath it.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49He controls the direction he goes on with his hands
0:02:49 > 0:02:52and he's capable of flying up to eight metres in the air
0:02:52 > 0:02:55and at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59People all over the world are using this high-tech
0:02:59 > 0:03:03equipment in some super cool ways. Check this lot out.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08Swimming like a dolphin AND flying like a bird?
0:03:09 > 0:03:13Wow, these guys are the best of the best and officially amazing.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20The stunts look incredible but they require a huge amount of control.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22And Mark will certainly need that for the record
0:03:22 > 0:03:25he's attempting today. What are you going to do?
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Well, at a height of 16 feet, we've mounted some balloons on a rope.
0:03:29 > 0:03:31And I've got a spike on my helmet,
0:03:31 > 0:03:32and I'm going to fly up to the balloons.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35I'm going to pierce the balloons with my helmet and then I'm going
0:03:35 > 0:03:38to drop back down and touch the water and go back up for the next one.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40I'll hopefully get about ten.
0:03:40 > 0:03:43You're obviously an expert at this kind of thing. Can anyone ride it?
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Of course they can. As long as they're willing to learn
0:03:46 > 0:03:48and take instruction we can get everyone out of the water.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50- Brilliant. Even me? - I think even you.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56A thin man, a dry suit,
0:03:56 > 0:04:00some heavy machinery and a freezing cold winter's day.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02What could possibly go wrong?
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Time to start my training.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14OK, well, I seem to have mastered the art of, erm, lying down.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16But is it possible for me
0:04:16 > 0:04:19to actually learn to operate this thing?
0:04:19 > 0:04:20Woo-hoo!
0:04:20 > 0:04:24Watch out, it's the SS Shires coming through!
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Now, I know what you're thinking,
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I bet Shires will never get that thing out of the water.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33- That's certainly what I'm thinking. - Oh, Al of little faith. Watch this.
0:04:35 > 0:04:40Behold! See how I conquer the lake and rule the waters!
0:04:40 > 0:04:42# Hallelujah
0:04:42 > 0:04:44# Hallelujah... #
0:04:44 > 0:04:45Oh...no.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Ben, as much as I love watching you succeed,
0:04:48 > 0:04:52the thing I really like is watching you fail.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54I'm going to enjoy this.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58Oh, yeah!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00All right! Go, Ben.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03It did feel more heroic than it looks.
0:05:03 > 0:05:06Well, having done it myself, I can see just how difficult
0:05:06 > 0:05:09and exhausting this challenge is going to be.
0:05:09 > 0:05:10Mark, I did it!
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- I actually did it.- Well done. - Yes, thank you.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14First time out of the water.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I'll tell you one thing - it's still a bit cold out there, isn't it?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20- It is very cold. Very cold. - But that's snow business for you.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Come on! You're going to be attempting a record in a bit.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- How are you feeling about that? - Confident.- Yes?- Yes.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28Guinness World Record officials have set
0:05:28 > 0:05:32the target at 11 balloons in three minutes to get the record.
0:05:32 > 0:05:35This is the course and the coloured balloons are being strung up
0:05:35 > 0:05:38across the lake during these final preparations.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41We'll find out shortly if Mark will succeed.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44But, for now, it's over to the other side of the pond where Al's
0:05:44 > 0:05:48appetite for consumption is about to be tested to the limit.
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Mm.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Mm. Nom-nom-nom-nom-nom!
0:05:56 > 0:05:58BELCHES
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Well, the word on the street is if you like your pizzas big,
0:06:01 > 0:06:02this is the place to come.
0:06:05 > 0:06:08These guys specialise in huge pizzas.
0:06:08 > 0:06:12And when I say huge, I mean Guinness World Record breaking huge.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16Bigger than this.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18Even bigger than this.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22They have a pizza on their menu that can feed up to 100 people,
0:06:22 > 0:06:25even if they're all as hungry as me.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29Yes, it's the world's largest commercially available pizza,
0:06:29 > 0:06:31and I want a slice.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35But that's not it.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38My man Ernesto is here and he's going to help me make my own pizza.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Today, this record-breaking pizza has a purpose.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45The restaurant are making one for a local homeless shelter.
0:06:45 > 0:06:48You start with what looks like a pillow sized portion of dough.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51The base requires 11 kilograms of it.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Look at that! It's more like a blanket.
0:06:57 > 0:06:58Add a large sack of tomato sauce.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03And you have a base measuring 1.37m square.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08OK, time to top this baby off.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11And this is how I remember the ingredients.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Ooh! I love this one.- What?
0:07:13 > 0:07:15# First on my topping list to top this pizza
0:07:15 > 0:07:19# Is a big amount of cheese-a, if you please-a-a-a... #
0:07:19 > 0:07:20Ben, what are you doing?
0:07:20 > 0:07:23# Next you take a lot of pepperoni
0:07:23 > 0:07:26# So the cheese-a isn't so lonely... #
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Ben, stop!
0:07:29 > 0:07:34# Mushrooms, lovely fungi, lovely mushrooms all over the pizza
0:07:34 > 0:07:37# Tomato puree, pizza base, a-lovely fungi... #
0:07:37 > 0:07:39Ben, stop! What was that?
0:07:39 > 0:07:43- Sorry, Al, I just like that song. - Let us never speak of that again.
0:07:43 > 0:07:45Yeah, that was bad, even for me.
0:07:45 > 0:07:49Moving on, the team can make up to 14 of these per week.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51So, what's next, Al?
0:07:51 > 0:07:54It's time to bake this bad boy. Ernesto!
0:07:55 > 0:07:57All right, let's put it in the oven.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59Careful, don't drop it, Al!
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Yes, thanks for the advice, Ben(!)
0:08:01 > 0:08:03The pizza bakes for 45 minutes.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07And the oven has a special extension, just to fit it in.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11Sure, this pizza's massive but it's not the only record-breaking pizza.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14Boy, this isn't going to help my hunger.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17The longest ever pizza was made in Spain in 2011.
0:08:17 > 0:08:22And measured 1141.5 metres.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25That's nearly as long as four Eiffel Towers.
0:08:27 > 0:08:33Ah, here it comes. The world's largest commercially available pizza.
0:08:33 > 0:08:34This is bigger than I remembered!
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Now we just need to pack it up and take it to the homeless shelter.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40But how are we going to transport this thing?
0:08:40 > 0:08:45Well, when you're pizza's 1.37m square, you need a massive box.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50And a specially adapted tiny delivery car to move it.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52That pizza will cure most people's hunger.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Except perhaps this next guy's.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Ugh...
0:09:03 > 0:09:05Welcome to sunny Portsmouth.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08Currently one of the UK's record-breaking hotspots.
0:09:08 > 0:09:13- Don't be silly, Ben, I hear you cry. - ALL:- Don't be silly, Ben.- You wally!
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Oi! No, it's true. It's because of one man.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Our own record-breaking dynamo, Sizzlin' Steve.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22This series is full of danger filled record breakers
0:09:22 > 0:09:26pushing their bodies and machines to their limits.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28And then there's Steve.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33His records are the kind you can try at home.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36In fact, Steve won't go anywhere else.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40He's the record-breaking everyman of the everyday challenge.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43He takes small domestic tasks to a whole new level of world
0:09:43 > 0:09:46domination without even taking off his slippers.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49He is a legend in his own living room.
0:09:49 > 0:09:52At least when his housemates are out. His name?
0:09:56 > 0:10:00Here we see the focus and poise of a true champion.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Precisely placing his party poppers, preparing to try and pop
0:10:04 > 0:10:07as many party poppers as he possibly can in precisely one minute.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Pretty hard, and also quite the tongue twister.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14Sizzlin' Steve! Legal Sizzle! Talk me through what is going on.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Well, I'm just setting up for the record I'm going to do,
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- which is the most party poppers popped in one minute.- OK.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Sounds quite technical, what's the current record?
0:10:23 > 0:10:27- The current record's 64 to beat.- OK. You know, this isn't pyrotechnics
0:10:27 > 0:10:29but this is about as dangerous as you get, Sizzler.
0:10:29 > 0:10:33Do you have any protection? Ear guards, goggles?
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- No.- OK, he's a man who likes to live on the edge.
0:10:36 > 0:10:38That's what I like about Sizzly Bear.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41Of course, there's no Sizzlin' Steve without the Sizzlettes.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Are you guys ready to rock?
0:10:43 > 0:10:44THEY PLAY ROCK CHORD
0:10:44 > 0:10:49Yes! And official adjudicator, are you ready to...judge?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Absolutely. - Great! Well, we're already.
0:10:52 > 0:10:55Sizzlin' Steve, are you ready to sizzle?
0:10:57 > 0:10:58Rules!
0:10:58 > 0:11:01So, in order to get the official world record,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03Sizzlin' Steve must...
0:11:09 > 0:11:11..in order to be successful.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Them's the rules, let's get to the sizzle.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18Preparation is key here. He's lining the strings up just right.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Oh, that one clearly doesn't live up to the Sizzler's high standards.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26He's laying out over 70 in total so he knows that
0:11:26 > 0:11:28if he gets through them all, he's done it.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- Sizzlin' Steve, are you ready? - Born ready.- Of course you were.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35- Official adjudicator, Claire, are you ready?- I'm ready.
0:11:35 > 0:11:40OK, it's 60 seconds, starting in three, two, one,
0:11:40 > 0:11:41pop!
0:11:47 > 0:11:50This is one record that has gone off with a bang.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53Remember, 64 is the total to beat.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00Oh, look at him go. As we all know, once you pop, you can't stop.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06That string is just slipping through his sizzly fingers.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Oh, there's quite a few not going off there.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10They're not going to count, Steve.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27Five, four, three, two, one...
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- and you're done.- Oh, that's it.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34Sizzlin' Steve, it's carnage over there. How do you think it went?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36I don't know, actually.
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Good, it's a strong indifferent reaction at this stage.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41Tense times.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45And official adjudicator Claire now has to count the used poppers.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Has Steve reached the magic number?
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Right, to get this world record, you needed to exceed 64,
0:12:51 > 0:12:52which is the current record.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56In one minute, you managed to pop...
0:12:58 > 0:13:0046.
0:13:00 > 0:13:06- Oh!- I'm sorry, Steve.- Close, but not quite the record, Sizzler.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08What do you think went wrong?
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- I didn't prepare them how I liked them, some of them, I think.- Oh, OK.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Well, Sizzle Man, I know this must be crushing for you,
0:13:15 > 0:13:19but the only worse news than this is that there is now
0:13:19 > 0:13:22a lot of cleaning up to do, and I think that if you want
0:13:22 > 0:13:24to get this done before your housemates come back,
0:13:24 > 0:13:26you're going to have to start on this now, mate.
0:13:26 > 0:13:29So, sorry about that, Sizzler. There you go.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33Poor Steve. Sadly, more of a fizzle than a sizzle.
0:13:33 > 0:13:35But Steve will be back!
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Don't help him, Claire.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41Steve is a man who, in the quest for perfection,
0:13:41 > 0:13:45has thrown caution to the wind and diced with...dice.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48And he's a credit to Steves everywhere.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51But there's another name that's literally music to our ears
0:13:51 > 0:13:53when it comes to world records. And that's Kevin.
0:13:55 > 0:13:59# I have known different men in my life
0:13:59 > 0:14:03# I've known some Geoffreys, I've known some Jims, even a Paul.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06# And I have liked all of the Michaels
0:14:06 > 0:14:09# And the Rorys never bore me
0:14:09 > 0:14:12# But for me there's one record breaker's name
0:14:12 > 0:14:15- # That's above them all... - What's that name?
0:14:15 > 0:14:18# Kevin, my record breaker!
0:14:18 > 0:14:20# Into my dreams I always take you
0:14:20 > 0:14:24# I don't know if I ever told you, Kevin.
0:14:24 > 0:14:27# You're like a little bit of heaven
0:14:31 > 0:14:35# Now Kevin Cole blew spaghetti out of his nose
0:14:35 > 0:14:40# 19 centimetres in a single blow
0:14:40 > 0:14:45# That's the world's longest spaghetti nasal ejection
0:14:45 > 0:14:50# But don't try it at home, for your own protection!
0:14:50 > 0:14:52# And if you think toilets are smelly
0:14:52 > 0:14:54# Stay away from Kevin Shelley
0:14:54 > 0:14:58# He broke more toilet seats on his head in one minute
0:14:58 > 0:15:00# Than anybody ever dared!
0:15:00 > 0:15:03# Oh, Kevin, my record breaker!
0:15:03 > 0:15:05# Into my dreams I always take you
0:15:05 > 0:15:10# I don't know if I ever told you, Kevin
0:15:10 > 0:15:15# Last, but not least, he's a religious muscular beast
0:15:15 > 0:15:17# Not least, but last
0:15:17 > 0:15:20# He's the Reverend Kevin Fast
0:15:20 > 0:15:23# He pulls vehicles, he puts people on his shoulders
0:15:23 > 0:15:26# The man's muscles are like giant boulders
0:15:26 > 0:15:28# So revere the Reverend because he's rather rad
0:15:28 > 0:15:31# And I hear his sermons aren't that bad!
0:15:31 > 0:15:33# Kevin, my record breaker!
0:15:33 > 0:15:36# Into my dreams I always take you
0:15:36 > 0:15:40# I don't know if I ever told you, Kevin
0:15:40 > 0:15:43# You're like a little bit of heaven! #
0:15:43 > 0:15:45That's quite enough about Kevins!
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Now back to the "revvings" of jet ski motors.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53- Officially...- popped.- Part two.
0:15:58 > 0:16:03You've heard of Spiderman. You know Captain America.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Well, this is Jetpack Man!
0:16:06 > 0:16:11With the superpower to rise from the seas and...pop balloons.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13At least, we hope so.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20This is a very cold Crown Lakes in Peterborough
0:16:20 > 0:16:23where Mark Corcoran is making final preparations to try
0:16:23 > 0:16:26and set an entirely new world record for the most balloons
0:16:26 > 0:16:29popped in three minutes, wearing a water jetpack.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Here's a quick reminder of the rules.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37Guinness world record officials have decided that in order to set
0:16:37 > 0:16:40a new record, Mark has...
0:16:40 > 0:16:43A three-minute limit in which to pop at least 11 balloons
0:16:43 > 0:16:45using the spike on his helmet.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47And he must dip back down into the water
0:16:47 > 0:16:50between each attempt at popping the balloons.
0:16:50 > 0:16:55Well, here we are on the middle of a lake, in the middle of winter,
0:16:55 > 0:16:58about to see a man hopefully break a record for popping balloons
0:16:58 > 0:17:01with a spike on his head, using a water jetpack.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05I can't believe that's a sentence I've not said before, can you?!
0:17:05 > 0:17:09And I can confirm, having been in the water, that it is freezing cold.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12So Mark is wearing a specially designed drysuit to keep him warm.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16Shivering official adjudicator, Annelise,
0:17:16 > 0:17:19is on board to watch over proceedings.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Got my trusty megaphone here. Let's see if Mark's ready.
0:17:22 > 0:17:26- Yes, let's go for it. - Three, two, one, go!
0:17:26 > 0:17:28So, is Mark going to be Top of the Pops?
0:17:28 > 0:17:32Remember, he needs 11 to succeed. First one!
0:17:32 > 0:17:36So he's got to go up, pop a balloon, back down into the water each time.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41Oh! He came on it from the side. Cheeky!
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Oh, he missed it there.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45After a while, you just start getting tired.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48You have to keep your body rigid. You have to concentrate.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51That's three balloons.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54Heading back into that icy water every single time
0:17:54 > 0:17:57really is exhausting.
0:17:57 > 0:17:58A miss!
0:17:58 > 0:18:02Oh, he's hit the water really hard there.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04That must have hurt.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09Look at that! The clock is ticking for the record. Come on, Mark!
0:18:09 > 0:18:11That's one minute gone!
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Oh, come on, Mark. You can do this!
0:18:17 > 0:18:19So is Mark going to be successful?
0:18:19 > 0:18:22Or is he going to have his bubble burst? Another balloon popped.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24That's four.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31Oh! He's gone down again.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Something is definitely wrong here.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40It looks like Mark's not happy about something.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44I think he's signalling he's going to stop this one, for some reason.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46He's popped one, two, three, four.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Let's just have a look at that again.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Oh, a really heavy fall there.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56After failing in his attempt, Mark's feeling a bit deflated.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59Will he manage to go again?
0:18:59 > 0:19:01OK, you can probably see behind me
0:19:01 > 0:19:04that Mark's just getting towed to shore now.
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Once back on shore,
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Mark's decided he's just too tired to keep going in the cold.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Awww!
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Mark, there you are. Bad luck. But really, really well done.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Commiserations. It wasn't to be today.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Probably more a weather condition thing than an ability
0:19:21 > 0:19:23- and talent thing.- Yeah, I think so.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26I think swallowing the first lot of water and hitting my forehead,
0:19:26 > 0:19:28brain freezing. I lost concentration.
0:19:28 > 0:19:31And let's face it, when he's out there, he looks like a superhero.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34Which, in my book, kind of makes you pretty cool anyway.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38- Yeah, I won't be defeated. I'll be back.- That's the attitude!
0:19:38 > 0:19:41Well, the weather's been against him today, but once he's thawed out,
0:19:41 > 0:19:46we're sure Mark will be back and the record will be his.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48Now, over to Haruka.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Officially... What?!
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Ha!
0:19:53 > 0:19:54Ow!
0:19:56 > 0:20:00Thanks, Ben. So, what is somebody going to do with all those bottles?
0:20:02 > 0:20:06Are they going to drink them all and have the world's longest wee?
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Or is somebody going to try and drive across the top of them in a car?
0:20:14 > 0:20:18GLASS SMASHES
0:20:18 > 0:20:23Or is it just the largest collection of identical bottles in the world?
0:20:23 > 0:20:28- Boring!- Hmmm. That last one wouldn't be very exciting, would it?
0:20:31 > 0:20:36So, yes. Unbelievably, you're about to witness the record attempt
0:20:36 > 0:20:38for the longest distance driven on glass bottles
0:20:38 > 0:20:43and the person at the wheel will be Army driver Li Guiwen.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Guinness world record officials have set the distance at a minimum
0:20:46 > 0:20:50of 50 metres to get the record. So, how will he do? Let's find out.
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Three. Two. One. Go.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57There is absolutely nothing holding these bottles in place
0:20:57 > 0:21:00other than gravity. They are all freestanding so balance is key.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05A few millimetres either side and the bottles will go.
0:21:08 > 0:21:12You can see those bottles are taking the weight of the entire car.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15SHE GASPS That creaking doesn't sound good.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19One green bottle accidentally falls
0:21:19 > 0:21:21but it's not the end of the record attempt.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23I think it's going to be OK.
0:21:25 > 0:21:30It's not OK! The car has fallen around the halfway mark.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32That's not a scream of celebration...
0:21:32 > 0:21:34SHRIEKING
0:21:34 > 0:21:37But these people don't know the meaning of the word fail
0:21:37 > 0:21:40or the words "dangerous record attempt".
0:21:40 > 0:21:43So fast forward a year and Li Guiwen is back for another go.
0:21:51 > 0:21:55Here he is warming up. Stretching?! Why?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57In case he needs to indicate with an arm signal?
0:21:57 > 0:22:01Ohhh! It's just to shake her hand. I see.
0:22:01 > 0:22:04He's ready now so off he goes to see if he can drive over
0:22:04 > 0:22:07nearly 2,000 green bottles sitting on the floor.
0:22:11 > 0:22:15Remember, Li has to travel over 50 metres to get the record.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17He has to keep his balance
0:22:17 > 0:22:21the whole way over these worryingly wobbly bottles. Oooh!
0:22:21 > 0:22:26You can see that each wheel rolls over about four bottles at a time.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29It seems to defy physics that they don't just break or topple.
0:22:31 > 0:22:36The crowd are really behind him. How is he keeping such control? Amazing!
0:22:39 > 0:22:40Just a bit further...
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Whoa!
0:22:46 > 0:22:49And Li Guiwen does it with a record-breaking
0:22:49 > 0:22:53no-bottle-breaking 60.19 metres.
0:22:54 > 0:22:58Such accurate, careful, precise driving.
0:23:00 > 0:23:05Now it's over to Ben who's searching for a mysterious character.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Mystery.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Intrigue.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Fog.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23HE COUGHS
0:23:23 > 0:23:24Anyway, you get the idea.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I'm here on the beautiful banks of Loch Ness.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30For centuries, people have been looking for a creature
0:23:30 > 0:23:33known as the Loch Ness Monster.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38This famous photograph caused a stir when it was taken back in 1934.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41But it turned out to be a fake.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44And so the search continued.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48But one man has tried harder than any other to find Nessie.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51His name is Steve Feltham and he holds the record
0:23:51 > 0:23:55for the longest continuous vigil seeking the Loch Ness Monster.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00If only I could find HIM.
0:24:01 > 0:24:02SCREAMING
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Oh. There he is.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08Steve, how long have you been keeping up your Nessie vigil?
0:24:08 > 0:24:0921 years.
0:24:09 > 0:24:1521 years?! This man is as much of a mystery as Nessie herself.
0:24:15 > 0:24:18Hunting for the Loch Ness Monster is a full-time job.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22In fact, Steve was so committed that he left his comfortable home
0:24:22 > 0:24:25to come and live permanently on the side of the loch.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29As a great man once said, dedication is what you need
0:24:29 > 0:24:31and Steve has plenty of it.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34He's so dedicated he didn't even know he'd set a record
0:24:34 > 0:24:38- until WE contacted him. Did you, Steve?- I had no idea.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40He had no idea.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Of course, the record he really wants is to be the first person
0:24:43 > 0:24:47to properly identify Nessie. I wonder if he'll ever succeed.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Amazingly, the loch contains more water than all the lakes
0:24:52 > 0:24:55and rivers in England and Wales combined.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58That's a lot of loch for a monster to hide in.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03Steve's been doing this for a record-breaking 21 years.
0:25:03 > 0:25:07So, after all that time, he must know exactly what to expect
0:25:07 > 0:25:09when Nessie eventually does surface.
0:25:09 > 0:25:12Right, Steve, we're right in the middle of the loch here.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13What are we looking for?
0:25:15 > 0:25:19Well... Anything that pops up, really, in the way of monsters.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22- Yeah?- Yeah.- Brilliant(!)
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Over the years, various theories have been put forward
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- to explain the phenomena. - There's one guy I know who believes
0:25:27 > 0:25:30there's a spaceship on the bottom of the loch.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32There's others that believe there's a rip in time
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- and we're seeing back into the prehistoric.- Typical.
0:25:35 > 0:25:37The usual suspects.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41It's either alien spaceships or time-travelling dinosaurs.
0:25:41 > 0:25:46Well, what about this photo taken by George Edwards in 2012?
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Steve doubts its authenticity and with good reason.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53- The hump is now sat outside my van on Dawes Beach.- Why?
0:25:53 > 0:25:57It was used for a film and it's gone round the world as Nessie evidence.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01It's another fake. Well, this is tough.
0:26:01 > 0:26:06Whilst I'm here, I might as well try and find Nessie in my own unique way
0:26:06 > 0:26:10using the very latest in animal-luring technology.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Here, Nessie Nessie. Here, Nessie Nessie.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Come on. Come on out. I can't see you.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Come on, Nessie. Here, Nessie Nessie. Right, Nessie.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21The game's up. Come out with your flippers up in the air.
0:26:21 > 0:26:24Here, Nessie Nessie. Here, Nessie. Right.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28She's either not at home or she's being very, very rude.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Steve, can you remind me
0:26:29 > 0:26:32which letter in the alphabet comes after S?
0:26:32 > 0:26:35- T?- Cuppa? Don't mind if I'd do. Come on. Let's go.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Well, Steve, no Nessie today.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40But that doesn't stop you from being officially amazing.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42Anyway, I think seeing her would have been about, I don't know,
0:26:42 > 0:26:46as likely as seeing Elvis doing a Hula Hoop.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49# Rock the hula... #
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Just ignore it, Steve. Ignore it.
0:26:54 > 0:26:55# Rock the hula
0:26:55 > 0:26:57# Rock, rock the hula. #
0:26:57 > 0:27:00'Well, no Nessie, but an officially champion cuppa
0:27:00 > 0:27:03'and an officially amazing show.'
0:27:03 > 0:27:06Until next time...
0:27:06 > 0:27:07See you next time.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12# Well, I can't believe That vigilant Steve
0:27:12 > 0:27:14# Has been searching for so long
0:27:14 > 0:27:15# He's convinced that monster's
0:27:15 > 0:27:16# Lurking beneath
0:27:16 > 0:27:19# But will time prove Stevie wrong?
0:27:19 > 0:27:20# Though Sizzler failed to pop
0:27:20 > 0:27:23# His record attempts never stop
0:27:23 > 0:27:24# That pizza couldn't be beat
0:27:24 > 0:27:26# With 100 people needed to eat
0:27:26 > 0:27:28# And Mark's balloon idea
0:27:28 > 0:27:31# Just didn't hold water.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34# It's all officially
0:27:34 > 0:27:36# Amazing... #
