0:01:11 > 0:01:13Oh, I just love them!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16And Al and I are in America
0:01:16 > 0:01:19facing off with some record-breaking junk food.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21But first, here's a record attempt that's...
0:01:25 > 0:01:28Huh? Oh!
0:01:28 > 0:01:29ARGH! Oh!
0:01:32 > 0:01:36This is Sam, or as he likes to be known, Samsam Bubbleman.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41A man so good at making bubbles he named himself twice.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- So, you're a bubbleologist? - That's correct.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51I do all kinds of things with soap bubbles from teaching
0:01:51 > 0:01:54the science behind bubbles to breaking Guinness World Records,
0:01:54 > 0:01:57- to making special effects for films. - Wow.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59So, everything to do with bubbles...
0:01:59 > 0:02:02- Everything to do with bubbles, yeah. - ..Samsam the Bubbleman is your man.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04That's right.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Sam already holds many records for his in incredi-bubbles and today
0:02:08 > 0:02:14he's hoping to set a new one for the largest free-floating indoor bubble.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16But before his attempt, I've asked Sam to show me
0:02:16 > 0:02:19some of his other bubbly record-breaking creations,
0:02:19 > 0:02:23like the longest chain of bubbles, or the caterpillar.
0:02:23 > 0:02:25Oh, so this is the caterpillar forming then?
0:02:27 > 0:02:30The wand becomes what I'm using to hold the bubble with
0:02:30 > 0:02:34and the straw becomes what I'm using to make bubbles.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38And lots of bubbles inside another bubble.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I... Wow. I lost count after about three.
0:02:46 > 0:02:48- Ta-da!- Look at that!
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Look at that, you released them into the wild!
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Now, I've always used washing-up liquid and water
0:02:54 > 0:02:57but what's the secret to Sam's bubble solution?
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Every great bubble man needs his... bubble solution.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Yeah, I call it Super Pop.- Wow.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Because I like to celebrate the fact that bubbles pop, you know?
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Every bubble I've ever had has popped.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- What's in it? Can you tell us? - I can't tell you I'm afraid.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- It's a secret?!- Top secret.- So, how did you come up with this solution?
0:03:14 > 0:03:16Is it your own special formula?
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Yeah, this is what I've been working on for the last 24 years
0:03:18 > 0:03:22- and I've been improving it and improving it.- Oh, no way.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Yes, way, your eyes aren't deceiving you,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Sam can also make square bubbles filled with smoke!
0:03:28 > 0:03:30So, Sam, I loved all your bubble tricks
0:03:30 > 0:03:33but you're here to do more than just tricks today, aren't you?
0:03:33 > 0:03:35I'm going to try and set the new world record
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- for the largest indoor bubble. - How big could this be?
0:03:38 > 0:03:41Well, I'm hoping that we'll get a bubble the size of a car.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Wow, that sounds great - if a little impossi-bubble!
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Oh, that was a bad one. Oh, dear.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49Anyway, whilst Sam makes his vast bubbly creations
0:03:49 > 0:03:52using his giant wands and secret bubble solution,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55our assistants will take photographs from all angles so that the
0:03:55 > 0:03:59size of Sam's biggest bubble can then be calculated by computer.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04He'll try this many times and when he's happy he's got a nice big
0:04:04 > 0:04:08record-breaking bubble, he'll shout, "Take!" To cue the photographers.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Let's get the rules.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Sam is allowed to use his own mix for the soap bubble solution,
0:04:14 > 0:04:18each bubble must be sealed at the end to make it complete
0:04:18 > 0:04:21and Sam's biggest bubble will need to be photographed
0:04:21 > 0:04:23to verify its size.
0:04:23 > 0:04:26Right, it's record time again.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Bubble assistants, are you ready? - ALL: Yeah.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Excellent. Official adjudicator Craig, are you ready?- I'm ready.
0:04:32 > 0:04:36- Excellent. Samsam the Bubbleman, are you ready?- I'm ready, Ben.
0:04:36 > 0:04:39Good. Then let's blow a massive bubble!
0:04:42 > 0:04:46Well, it's big but not quite big enough to fit a car in.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Wow!
0:04:50 > 0:04:54And just look at it dissolve as it pops. Amazing.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57But he's going again.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01Surely this is the one? It's a gargantuan bubble.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03No, Sam thinks he can go bigger.
0:05:03 > 0:05:07Remember, the bubble must be closed at the end or it's not
0:05:07 > 0:05:10a proper bubble - more of a soapy windsock.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- Oh, is this the winning bubble?! - Take.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Well, Sam certainly thinks so.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28Now what happens is all the photographs that we've taken
0:05:28 > 0:05:31of those bubbles will go off to a third party
0:05:31 > 0:05:35who compiles them into 3D images. That's how they measure it.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37This is the computer image they used
0:05:37 > 0:05:41to calculate exactly how big the bubble was.
0:05:41 > 0:05:45This bubble is so big you could fit a small car in it
0:05:45 > 0:05:47but has it set a new world record?
0:05:49 > 0:05:51Yes, it has.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56That bubble would hold a staggering 3,300 litres of water -
0:05:56 > 0:05:59that's enough for 33 nice hot baths.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00Now, here's Haruka.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06Ahh! Oh.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Oh.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15We take our food very seriously here in Japan.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17In fact, if you're in a Japanese restaurant,
0:06:17 > 0:06:20you will hear a lot of people slurping their food.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Slurping is considered a sign
0:06:25 > 0:06:27that you really appreciate what you're eating.
0:06:27 > 0:06:32Be sure to remind your mum about that if she tells you off.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36No-one takes their food quite as seriously as this man.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Meet Hiroshi Kuroda, he's a noodle master.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Today he's going to use his noodle-making skills
0:06:44 > 0:06:48to try and break not one but two Guinness World Records.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51But what exactly is a noodle?
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Like bread and pasta, it's mainly flour, salt and water.
0:06:55 > 0:06:59Noodles are made by stretching dough out and doubling it over.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Every time he does this, it doubles the number of noodle strands.
0:07:03 > 0:07:06Then he has two stretch it out again and again,
0:07:06 > 0:07:10and break the ends off to make the strands individual.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13What does it take to become a great noodle master?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- TRANSLATION:- You must work really hard every day
0:07:17 > 0:07:21and pay attention to your noodles. You must never give up.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24The noodle master already holds three world records,
0:07:24 > 0:07:29including the longest noodle, at nearly 548 metres -
0:07:29 > 0:07:33that's almost as long as 11 Olympic swimming pools in a line!
0:07:33 > 0:07:38He also handmade the thinnest noodle at just 0.22 millimetres -
0:07:38 > 0:07:41that is the equivalent of two human hairs.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Hiroshi's first record attempt today
0:07:44 > 0:07:48is for the most portions of noodles made in three minutes.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51That currently stands at eight but can he make even more?
0:07:51 > 0:07:55As he prepares the dough for this attempt, the rules state
0:07:55 > 0:07:59he must make every noodle strand under seven millimetres in diameter
0:07:59 > 0:08:03and each portion should weigh at least 150 grams.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07Noodle master, are you ready?
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Three...two...one...go!
0:08:11 > 0:08:13To set a new world record,
0:08:13 > 0:08:16Hiroshi needs to make at least nine portions -
0:08:16 > 0:08:19that is one bowl of noodles every 20 seconds.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Literally, fast food!
0:08:21 > 0:08:23SHE SPEAKS IN JAPANESE
0:08:24 > 0:08:25Just look at him go!
0:08:25 > 0:08:28Doubling it over, stretching it out.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32Every time he does this, the noodle strands get thinner.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37Finally, he rips the ends off,
0:08:37 > 0:08:41making them all individual strands to count as a portion.
0:08:44 > 0:08:45SHE SPEAKS IN JAPANESE
0:08:45 > 0:08:47One minute and 30 seconds gone.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Hiroshi must make sure his portions comply with the rules.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53This is the eighth portion now.
0:08:53 > 0:08:57That's quick but have they all been the correct weight and size?
0:09:00 > 0:09:04He hasn't got long. Is there time to make one more portion?
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Stop.- Oh, time's up.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13The adjudicators are now measuring the noodle portions
0:09:13 > 0:09:16to check they are all the correct weight and size.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18Now, let's get the official result.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21We had to disqualify three portions,
0:09:21 > 0:09:23as the width of the noodles that we have measured
0:09:23 > 0:09:25was over seven millimetres.
0:09:25 > 0:09:30Oh, three have gone but did he get more than the required eight?
0:09:30 > 0:09:34And with your total of...nine portions
0:09:34 > 0:09:38you have achieved a new Guinness World Record title.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39Congratulations!
0:09:42 > 0:09:46He did! Hiroshi made 12 portions and although three didn't comply with
0:09:46 > 0:09:50the rules, nine were legal and that's good enough.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57So, that's one new world record under his belt.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00Now he's got his eyes set on another one as he attempts to make
0:10:00 > 0:10:04more than 65,000 individual noodles in one minute.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Thanks, Haruka. Now here's Al in America.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19What's up and welcome to California, better known as the Golden State,
0:10:19 > 0:10:21because of that golden thing in the sky.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24You might not recognise that, Ben, that's called the sun.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Now clearly I appreciate a nice pair of shoes.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29Well, the woman we're going to meet here today has
0:10:29 > 0:10:32so many shoes, no wardrobe in the world could fit them all in.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35She's definitely the Queen of SOLE.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40Welcome to the world's largest shoe related collection.
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Hi, Al, welcome to Darl's shoe heaven.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53Darlene Flynn has fallen head over heels in love with everything
0:10:53 > 0:10:55and anything to do with shoes.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02I'm talking to you on a red shoe phone next to a shoe lamp
0:11:02 > 0:11:06on a shoe table. I feel like I died and went to shoe heaven.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09- Hi, Al, you doing OK today? - Just talking to my mom.
0:11:09 > 0:11:10Well, that's good.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Darlene, what is it with you and shoes?- Oh, I just love them.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15They're beautiful, they're unique. They're just awesome.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18What number got you the actual record for items?
0:11:18 > 0:11:22My actual Guinness Record was 15,665.
0:11:22 > 0:11:30- But as of today, I have 16,179.- 16,179.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35That's more than a millipede would need. That is staggering.
0:11:37 > 0:11:38Well this is a shoe room.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41My first shoe room that I ever had in my collection.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44'Yes, she did just say her FIRST shoe room.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46'Darlene has a house full of shoe rooms now.'
0:11:46 > 0:11:49It looks like a shoe threw up in here.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51This is shoe everything.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Darlene thinks about shoes from the moment
0:11:53 > 0:11:56she wakes up till the time she goes to bed.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57She even brushes her teeth with one.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00You have an electric shoe toothbrush.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Of course, every woman needs one of those.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04Does every woman really need one of these?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Well, the shoe lady does.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08The shoe lady needs it, OK, I'll accept that.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10The shoe lady needs it.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15And look, Ben, Darlene's got the same pair of slippers as you!
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Oh, yeah! Not!
0:12:17 > 0:12:19This one is called the 1507.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23My son made it for me, cos it's made out of 15.07 in change.
0:12:23 > 0:12:29- I paid 1,800 for this one and it's called Miss Vicky.- 1,800!
0:12:29 > 0:12:32You could buy a 60-inch flat screen TV for that, Al!
0:12:32 > 0:12:35I see a block of wood here. Can you walk me through that?
0:12:35 > 0:12:38My son saw this when he was fishing and he actually
0:12:38 > 0:12:41dug it out because he said it looked just like the shape of a shoe.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44So the shoe obsession runs in the family?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47I think I've found something in your house that is not shoe related.
0:12:47 > 0:12:51- No, I don't think so.- I did. - What could that be?- The two pups.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- I did it.- Well, you know what, they don't look like shoes,
0:12:54 > 0:12:59but this one is called Shoesy-Q and this one is Bootsy Shoebert.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01Wow, it seems nothing is safe.
0:13:01 > 0:13:05Right, from now on, Al, I'd like to be known as Ben Shoe-ires
0:13:05 > 0:13:09and you can be, wait for it, Al Jack-shoe.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13Ben! Your bad footwear puns aren't required today so go on, SHOE!
0:13:13 > 0:13:18And as I leave Darlene, it seems that I've paid the ultimate price
0:13:18 > 0:13:21for looking at her gigantic shoe collection.
0:13:21 > 0:13:25From a large record breaker now, to some of the longest.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36# These are the longest things in the world
0:13:36 > 0:13:39# Yes, length is no problem here
0:13:39 > 0:13:43# Some of the longest things in the world
0:13:43 > 0:13:46# For the longest have no fear
0:13:48 > 0:13:53# Well, Lukas Steiner loved getting dressed, you could tell
0:13:53 > 0:13:57# With a lovely shirt and shoes to fit he scrubbed up pretty well
0:13:57 > 0:14:00# But his acrobatic tendencies would make you all say wowsers
0:14:00 > 0:14:05# Cos he did the longest backflip into a pair of trousers
0:14:08 > 0:14:09# So who do you live with?
0:14:09 > 0:14:11# Your mum and your dad
0:14:11 > 0:14:15# Or brothers with bad habits or a sister who drives you mad?
0:14:15 > 0:14:19# Well this lady lived with scorpions for the longest time ever
0:14:19 > 0:14:23# In 33 days she got stung 13 times I'm not sure that was clever
0:14:26 > 0:14:28# These are the longest things in the world
0:14:30 > 0:14:33# Yes, length is no problem here
0:14:33 > 0:14:37# Some of the longest things in the world
0:14:37 > 0:14:40# For the longest have no fear
0:14:43 > 0:14:47# Ken Owen love a lie in and he had pain resistant powers
0:14:47 > 0:14:51# He laid down on a bed of nails for 300 hours
0:14:51 > 0:14:54# But most of all my favourite fellow that we'll mention here is
0:14:54 > 0:14:57# Anthony Victor with the longest hair
0:14:57 > 0:14:59# To sprout from a person's ear
0:15:01 > 0:15:05# These are the longest things in the world
0:15:05 > 0:15:08# Yes, length is no problem here
0:15:08 > 0:15:13# Some of the longest things in the world
0:15:13 > 0:15:17# For the longest have no fear. #
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Time now for...
0:15:28 > 0:15:30This is Sailendra Nath Roy,
0:15:30 > 0:15:33a fearless record breaker who wants to attempt to set a new
0:15:33 > 0:15:34Guinness World Record
0:15:34 > 0:15:37for the longest distance travelled on a zip wire.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41But how is he going to do it?
0:15:41 > 0:15:46Will he hang by his feet, his ears, or his hair?
0:15:46 > 0:15:49Well, it can't be his hair, he hasn't got much of it
0:15:49 > 0:15:54and it looks about as strong as candyfloss. But, hang on...it is!
0:15:54 > 0:15:59They're tying his hair onto that hook, which he'll be hanging from
0:15:59 > 0:16:02as he travels down the zip wire. Ouch!
0:16:02 > 0:16:05Sailendra looks determined, or is that terrified?
0:16:05 > 0:16:09It's hard to tell. So, will a brand-new record be born?
0:16:09 > 0:16:13Or is there a good reason no-one has tried this before?
0:16:15 > 0:16:18And as he puts his faith in his follicles
0:16:18 > 0:16:21and whoever tied his hair in that nice plait, he's off.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Remember, his hair is supporting
0:16:25 > 0:16:28the entire weight of his body right now.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Should the unthinkable happen,
0:16:32 > 0:16:36like if his hair broke or his scalp, er...fell off,
0:16:36 > 0:16:39then this hook, which currently bears none of his weight,
0:16:39 > 0:16:42is a backup safety harness to stop him falling.
0:16:44 > 0:16:46That's got to hurt, surely.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50Yes, he's done it! Whoo!
0:16:52 > 0:16:55There you have a very triumphant Sailendra with
0:16:55 > 0:16:57a slightly baggy scalp.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59Now, while they all make a mess celebrating Hindu-style,
0:16:59 > 0:17:02let's head back to Haruka in Japan.
0:17:05 > 0:17:06Part two.
0:17:10 > 0:17:16This is Hiroshi Kuroda, or as we like to call him, The Noodle Master.
0:17:16 > 0:17:20Earlier, he set a new world record for the most portions of noodles
0:17:20 > 0:17:22made in three minutes.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25But a man this driven is never going to be satisfied with just one
0:17:25 > 0:17:31noodle record. He's now going for the most noodles made in one minute.
0:17:31 > 0:17:38Hiroshi's aiming to make more than an incredible 65,536 noodles to
0:17:38 > 0:17:41beat his own current world record.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44Now pay attention because here comes the noodley maths bit.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47The noodles are made by folding over the length of dough
0:17:47 > 0:17:49and stretching it out.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Every time he folds it over, it doubles the number of strands.
0:17:52 > 0:17:57Then he has to stretch it out again, making the strands thinner each time.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00Double once and you get two strings of dough.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Double again, you get four strings and so on, doubling again
0:18:04 > 0:18:06and again within one minute.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10Until he reaches 65,536.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13If Hiroshi can double that once more then he'll have,
0:18:13 > 0:18:19I'm sure you've guessed it, 131,072 strings.
0:18:19 > 0:18:23So, whilst The Noodle Master gets ready for the final preparations,
0:18:23 > 0:18:24let's get the rules.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28Noodles can be any length or thickness
0:18:28 > 0:18:32but they must be individual strands and not attached to each other.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Oh! This is tricky!
0:18:36 > 0:18:39- Noodle Master, are you ready?- OK.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42Three, two, one, go.
0:18:48 > 0:18:50He's off to a great start.
0:18:50 > 0:18:54Stretching the dough out until it gets thinner and thinner.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58Hiroshi needs plenty of flour to stop the noodles sticking together.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00Ten seconds.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03He must remember to break off the ends he's been holding
0:19:03 > 0:19:06in order to make them into individual noodle strands.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15Only 20 seconds are now left. The pressure is on for Hiroshi.
0:19:23 > 0:19:24Stop.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29Time is up. He gave his all. But was it enough to set a new record?
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Let's get the verdict.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36Today you tried to break your own record for the most
0:19:36 > 0:19:38noodle strings made in one minute.
0:19:40 > 0:19:45Today's attempt was invalid as you didn't cut
0:19:45 > 0:19:50the ends of the noodle strings that you had folded.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52Disaster!
0:19:52 > 0:19:53Hiroshi has been disqualified
0:19:53 > 0:19:58as he hasn't managed to separate the noodles by taking the ends off.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01But he's still the holder of the current Guinness World Record,
0:20:01 > 0:20:0665,536 noodles made in a minute and to us
0:20:06 > 0:20:09he's still the officially amazing Noodleman.
0:20:16 > 0:20:19BELCHING
0:20:19 > 0:20:22We, the people of Officially Amazing HQ,
0:20:22 > 0:20:25worship a hero who stands above the rest.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27His name is Sizzlin' Steve
0:20:27 > 0:20:31and he's the very model of a modern major record breaker.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34By day a student, by night asleep.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38Still, there's just time in between to attempt some records.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40But not just ANY records,
0:20:40 > 0:20:43ones you can try at home.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47- Sizzlin' Steve, you are about to attempt another record.- Yep.
0:20:47 > 0:20:48Tell me about it.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51This record is for the most flags identified in one minute.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Entertaining and educational. I'm calling that edutainment, Steve.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58I like it a lot. How many flags are there?
0:20:58 > 0:21:02There's 192 world flags. The current record is 57.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06- And you reckon you can do it? - I think I can get about 60.
0:21:06 > 0:21:10That's the confidence of The Sizzler, and if any man can, HE can!
0:21:10 > 0:21:12So for this Guinness World Record attempt,
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Sizzlin' Steve will be shown randomly selected
0:21:15 > 0:21:17pictures of national flags one at a time
0:21:17 > 0:21:21and he'll have to guess which country that flag represents.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24So this is the UK flag, but what's this one?
0:21:25 > 0:21:28If you got that right you're better than me.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32To beat the current record of 57 flags guessed in one minute,
0:21:32 > 0:21:35he'll need to name a country pretty much every second.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39He needs to not just sizzle, he needs to be on fire.
0:21:39 > 0:21:42He gets one guess for each flag and he can pass on the ones
0:21:42 > 0:21:43he doesn't know.
0:21:43 > 0:21:46OK, here we go. Player's in place.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50On my count, Sizzlin' Steve, get ready to name those flags.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Three, two, one, sizzle!
0:21:59 > 0:22:00Pass.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Ecu... Pass.
0:22:12 > 0:22:13Pass.
0:22:29 > 0:22:30Pass.
0:22:33 > 0:22:34Pass.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43Ten seconds to go.
0:22:47 > 0:22:52Five, four, three, two, one, stop!
0:22:54 > 0:22:59- That's your lot, Steve. How did that go?- Not as well as I hoped it would.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04What we need to do now is check with Claire. How did Sizzlin' Steve do?
0:23:04 > 0:23:07Well, Sizzler, the record you had to beat was 57.
0:23:11 > 0:23:13I'm afraid you didn't make it this time.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16It's not a record for you today.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19So sadly, fate has rained on Steve's parade
0:23:19 > 0:23:21and drizzled on his sizzle,
0:23:21 > 0:23:24but he still managed to get 30 correct in the time.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26Good effort, Sizzler! Now for something...
0:23:33 > 0:23:36This next record holder is officially bad for you, and when I say bad,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38I mean terrible.
0:23:38 > 0:23:42You know, you got to live a clean life - exercise, good nutrition -
0:23:42 > 0:23:45and, honestly, you Brits are a lot better than Americans are at that.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47You want proof, we're here in search
0:23:47 > 0:23:50of the world's most calorific burger, and we found it.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52This is where it lives, baby.
0:23:53 > 0:23:57Welcome to the Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas.
0:23:57 > 0:24:01This place prides itself on being the world's unhealthiest restaurant.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04- # Highway to hell!- #
0:24:04 > 0:24:05It's pretty weird.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08These nurses are actually waitresses.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10That guy dressed as a doctor is the owner
0:24:10 > 0:24:14and you have to wear a hospital gown before you can eat.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18It's like something out of a movie. But what's the film?
0:24:19 > 0:24:21And who's the record-breaking star?
0:24:24 > 0:24:27- HAMMY TRAILER VOICE:- In a world where no-one is safe...
0:24:29 > 0:24:32..one burger wants revenge,
0:24:32 > 0:24:35and this time it's personal.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38Starring...
0:24:51 > 0:24:54..cooked in fat, and introducing...
0:24:57 > 0:25:00- NORMAL VOICE:- Oh, so a bit healthy. Ahem!
0:25:00 > 0:25:04- HAMMY VOICE:- One man with a loaded bun...

0:25:11 > 0:25:14MUSIC FROM PSYCHO
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Yep, it's pretty big.
0:25:16 > 0:25:23Standing at around 21.5cm tall and weighing in at over 1.5kg,
0:25:23 > 0:25:28it's the world's most calorific and, therefore, unhealthy burger.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30And I'm going to eat it.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33All right, guys, here we go. The first bite's going down the hatch.
0:25:45 > 0:25:49I got lard on my fingers, I got a food mountain to climb.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52You guys don't want to watch this. We need a burger fact. Let's go.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56From the most unhealthy burger to the biggest ever burger
0:25:56 > 0:26:00made in the USA in 1999.
0:26:00 > 0:26:05It was over 7 metres across and it weighed 2.74 tonnes.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08That's the same weight as an elephant.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12Right, let's see if Al's managed to finish the tower of terror!
0:26:12 > 0:26:16Ohhh, goodness! MOBILE PHONE RINGS
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Hello?
0:26:18 > 0:26:19Oh, hey, Al, it's Ben.
0:26:19 > 0:26:23Ben, I can't move. I just ate this whole burger.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27- Yeah, how did eating the massive burger go for you?- How did it go?
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Unbelievable!
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Yeah, cos it seems to me you hid it behind the paper towels, Al.
0:26:31 > 0:26:33It's still here!
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Yeah? Yeah, make that face.
0:26:37 > 0:26:41I'm disappointed. I'm not angry, just disappointed.
0:26:43 > 0:26:47So now, to prove my point for Queen and country,
0:26:47 > 0:26:53I, Ben Shires, will show you how us Brits do it.
