0:01:04 > 0:01:07and officially amazing Guinness World Record attempts include...

0:01:08 > 0:01:13Al tries to guess what mysterious thing this guy can do with his feet.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15It's a bit gross!

0:01:16 > 0:01:20This incredible OAP prepares to jump from up here...

0:01:20 > 0:01:21into here...

0:01:21 > 0:01:24with just some elastic tied to his legs!

0:01:25 > 0:01:28The three kings of competitive go at it head-to-head...

0:01:28 > 0:01:31to head...in the brutal world of...

0:01:31 > 0:01:35Erm, sorting jelly babies with chopsticks. But first...

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Oh! Nnngah!

0:01:42 > 0:01:43Ow!

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Hello and welcome to Nairn in the north of Scotland.

0:01:49 > 0:01:53I've come here today to meet some of the amazing performers

0:01:53 > 0:01:55of the astonishing circus and, in particular,

0:01:55 > 0:01:59one of those performers who's got record-breaking on his mind.

0:02:00 > 0:02:06Ah... Ahhh! Whaaah! Oh, get me out of here!

0:02:06 > 0:02:11This circus is full of some pretty colourful characters.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14In charge is Norman Barrett, who holds the world record

0:02:14 > 0:02:17for being the longest-serving ringmaster.

0:02:17 > 0:02:21Then there's the incredible aerial acrobats...

0:02:21 > 0:02:25the bonkers motorcycle stunt team and their globe of death...

0:02:25 > 0:02:29and, of course, the circus isn't the circus without clowns.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31And last, but not least,

0:02:31 > 0:02:37this towering brute of a man, strongman Hercules.

0:02:37 > 0:02:42This huge Ukrainian spends his life doing dangerous and unwise things

0:02:42 > 0:02:43like this...

0:02:43 > 0:02:45and this...

0:02:46 > 0:02:49But today, he's going to be attempting the record

0:02:49 > 0:02:52for the greatest combined weight juggled.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54You can use anything you like,

0:02:54 > 0:02:57but Hercules has gone for a particularly TIRING juggling option!

0:02:57 > 0:02:59- BEN STIFLES A LAUGH - Let's meet him.

0:03:00 > 0:03:03- Hello, Hercules.- Hello, Ben.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06- Now, get down from there, this is ridiculous.- OK.

0:03:06 > 0:03:07SQUEAK!

0:03:07 > 0:03:11- Why did you become a strongman? - My father was a strongman.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Wow, so it's in your blood, it's in your genes.

0:03:13 > 0:03:17In terms of the record, are you feeling confident?

0:03:17 > 0:03:19I think, yes, I can do it.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23OK, so Hercules has gone off to prepare for his challenge.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Will he do it? We'll find out soon.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28Now, I'm joined by two clowns who are preparing

0:03:28 > 0:03:30for a classic slapstick routine.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Basically, what happens is, they look to size me up

0:03:33 > 0:03:35to throw a cream pie in my face,

0:03:35 > 0:03:38but then, at the last possible moment, they, of course,

0:03:38 > 0:03:39go for each other.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Never, ever, trust clowns!

0:03:49 > 0:03:50Here are the rules.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54All three tyres must be the same weight.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56He must use a standard juggling technique -

0:03:56 > 0:03:58so right-left, right-left.

0:03:58 > 0:03:59And he must juggle for at least

0:03:59 > 0:04:0130 seconds to get the record.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05OK, it's time to get juggling, and not only that,

0:04:05 > 0:04:08but the whole circus has turned out to support Hercules.

0:04:08 > 0:04:12- Guys, is he going to do it? - ALL:- Yes!

0:04:12 > 0:04:14CHEERING

0:04:14 > 0:04:17I think that was a yes. Hercules, are you ready?

0:04:17 > 0:04:20- I am ready. - Excellent. Then let's do this.

0:04:22 > 0:04:26'Hercules starts by balancing one tyre on his head.'

0:04:26 > 0:04:28- KLAXON BLARES - 'And he's off!

0:04:28 > 0:04:31'Each tyre weighs a massive nine kilos -

0:04:31 > 0:04:33'that's like juggling three toddlers,

0:04:33 > 0:04:35'though that would be a bad idea!'

0:04:35 > 0:04:36Ten seconds!

0:04:36 > 0:04:38'He needs height in each throw

0:04:38 > 0:04:41'and he's hitting a rhythm - that's vital.'

0:04:41 > 0:04:44He's getting closer, oh!

0:04:44 > 0:04:4620 seconds!

0:04:46 > 0:04:48'Can he juggle this huge weight for the full 30 seconds?'

0:04:48 > 0:04:52It's incredible, he must be aching now. The... Oh, oh!

0:04:52 > 0:04:56'Oh, 26 seconds in, and he's dropped one!'

0:04:56 > 0:04:59So close for Hercules and yet so far.

0:04:59 > 0:05:00Four seconds from glory.

0:05:00 > 0:05:05'Mere mortals might manage one attempt, but this is Hercules.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08'A quick rest and he's ready again.'

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Well, Hercules has had a five-minute breather.

0:05:10 > 0:05:13I've had a bickie and a cup of tea. It's time for a second attempt.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17- Hercules, are you ready?- I'm ready.

0:05:17 > 0:05:18Excellent, let's do it.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21'Determination versus exhaustion now.'

0:05:24 > 0:05:28'Composing himself, getting his tyres ready, here we go.'

0:05:28 > 0:05:30KLAXON BLARES THEN CHEERING

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Ten seconds!

0:05:32 > 0:05:36'Look at this man-mountain of muscle motoring through this attempt!'

0:05:36 > 0:05:3820 seconds!

0:05:38 > 0:05:41'Each huge throw draining his energy.'

0:05:41 > 0:05:42Five!

0:05:44 > 0:05:48'Oh, tyres colliding, sending one sideways. Can he catch it?'

0:05:48 > 0:05:49Oh!

0:05:49 > 0:05:53'A mighty effort, but did he reach that magic 30 second mark?

0:05:53 > 0:05:55'Over to official adjudicator, Anna.'

0:05:55 > 0:05:5729 seconds.

0:05:57 > 0:06:0029 seconds, you're one second away.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03- You can definitely do it.- I must.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06You must. Everyone knows you can do it.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10- But I must...a little bit...rest. - Yeah.

0:06:10 > 0:06:12He's physically exhausted, mentally exhausted,

0:06:12 > 0:06:16but it's got to be on this third attempt. You can't miss it.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19'Can Hercules pull off this Herculean task

0:06:19 > 0:06:21'with his final attempt?

0:06:21 > 0:06:24'We'll find out later. But first...'

0:06:27 > 0:06:30- Huh? Whoo!- What?

0:06:30 > 0:06:34Ow! Oh...

0:06:34 > 0:06:38We've sent Al to a Las Vegas diner to meet an officially mysterious

0:06:38 > 0:06:40record breaker.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44He's got to try to guess what record that person holds.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Guessing records is not Al's strong point.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49Last series he failed to figure out

0:06:49 > 0:06:52what Chanelle's mouthwatering record was.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Oh, my God! Oh-ho!

0:06:54 > 0:06:57And Kim gave him a real eyeful when he couldn't work out

0:06:57 > 0:06:59her eye-boggling record.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Oh, my God! I was not ready for that!

0:07:02 > 0:07:05We thought we'd give him another chance.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07So, meet Rob Williams.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10- Al!- Hey, how you doin'? Good to meet you.

0:07:10 > 0:07:11Nice to meet you too.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14All right, Rob Williams, let's just get right to it.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17- We've never met before.- No. - I'm excited to meet you.- You too.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21But honestly, I don't know why I'm meeting you.

0:07:21 > 0:07:22Is it something to do with your tongue?

0:07:22 > 0:07:24- My tongue?- Yes.

0:07:24 > 0:07:26- No.- OK. Are you particularly fast?

0:07:26 > 0:07:28Yes, I am fast.

0:07:28 > 0:07:30Are you physically fast with your legs?

0:07:30 > 0:07:34- I am fast with my legs, yes.- OK.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Right! Last question, Al.

0:07:36 > 0:07:38Can you jump really high?

0:07:38 > 0:07:39Oh brilliant(!)

0:07:39 > 0:07:40- No.- No, all right.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44So I'm out of questions. Is this something you can show me?

0:07:44 > 0:07:46- Yes, I can show you, yes.- OK.

0:07:46 > 0:07:49The Guinness World Record that Rob actually holds

0:07:49 > 0:07:52is the fastest sandwich made with the feet!

0:07:52 > 0:07:56You heard correctly. His record stands at one minute 57 seconds,

0:07:56 > 0:07:58and though he's not going for a record today,

0:07:58 > 0:08:02he's here to show Al his sockless sandwich-making skills.

0:08:02 > 0:08:06I'm going to clean my feet. It's a gob of anti-bacterial soap.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08- Gotta do it, Momma would be proud. - That's right.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10Cleanliness first!

0:08:10 > 0:08:13- Look at that, you're getting it in between the toes.- That's right!

0:08:13 > 0:08:16If you could teach my kids to do that with their hands, I'd be happy.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Let's make you...a baloney sandwich. - Let's do it.

0:08:19 > 0:08:24Two slices of bread - there's one and...two.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26If you're eating right now, you might want to stop.

0:08:26 > 0:08:29AL: 'Mmm, full of feety goodness!

0:08:29 > 0:08:32'Wow, he even takes the rind off the sausage!'

0:08:32 > 0:08:34- I'll give that to you. - Thank you, I appreciate it.

0:08:34 > 0:08:36- A little bit of lettuce? - Yes, please.

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Sure! It's iceberg. Want a little cheese?

0:08:39 > 0:08:41- Of course.- Why not.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43And...peeling the wrapper on this guy

0:08:43 > 0:08:45is one of the harder things for me to do.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48'If you're thinking of trying this at home, ask your mom first.

0:08:48 > 0:08:49'My guess is she'll probably say no.'

0:08:49 > 0:08:51- How about mustard too? - Oh, of course, mustard.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53Don't want to have a dry sandwich.

0:08:53 > 0:08:58'He MUSTARD trained hard for this skill! Ye-e-e-ah.'

0:08:58 > 0:09:03Another little eye, a nose... and a little mustard smile.

0:09:03 > 0:09:05Ah, that makes me happy!

0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Now, let's get a pickle. - My favourite part.

0:09:07 > 0:09:08Let's get in here.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12- Did you just reach into a pickle jar with your foot?- Yes!

0:09:12 > 0:09:16I can't do that with my hand on the first try!

0:09:16 > 0:09:18Just makes your mouth water to look at a pickle, doesn't it?

0:09:18 > 0:09:21'Not when you've got your feet in the jar, it doesn't!'

0:09:21 > 0:09:23We're almost there, we're almost there.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25I'm going to close up your sandwich now.

0:09:25 > 0:09:26'And there you have it.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29'It's a sandwich made with a man's feet. Yum-yum(!)'

0:09:29 > 0:09:31Yum-yum?! I'm not sure I'd eat that, Al!

0:09:31 > 0:09:35A little high-five on that? There you go. Knuckle bump.

0:09:35 > 0:09:36There you go.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39Have you ever taught anybody to make a sandwich with their feet?

0:09:39 > 0:09:42I've never had anybody WILLING to make a sandwich with their feet!

0:09:42 > 0:09:44All right, now what if I said I was...

0:09:44 > 0:09:46I'd possibly be willing to try, would you work with me?

0:09:46 > 0:09:48- I'm happy to try, yeah.- All right.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50- It's harder than it looks, I'll warn you.- Oh, it looks hard!

0:09:50 > 0:09:51There you go.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53Come on, Al, put in some EF-FOOT!

0:09:53 > 0:09:56'Ooh, you're going to get a knuckle sandwich in a minute, Ben!'

0:09:56 > 0:09:59I'm going to kind of prep for you - move it out a little.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Baloney is a type of mixed sausage meat popular in America.

0:10:02 > 0:10:05And it's also a funny sounding word. "Baloney".

0:10:05 > 0:10:06Baloney!

0:10:06 > 0:10:08Nice. That's a good job.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10Baloney! Baloney.

0:10:10 > 0:10:11Quiet, Ben, I'm working.

0:10:11 > 0:10:12You got it. Use both your feet,

0:10:12 > 0:10:15sometimes it's easier if you use both your feet to grab something.

0:10:15 > 0:10:16And shove it in.

0:10:16 > 0:10:19It feels like I'm putting my foot in an aquarium.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22Oh, the things I do for this show.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25- You get that side, I'll get this side.- OK...

0:10:25 > 0:10:27It's just as well Rob's here to lend a hand.

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Or should I say foot?

0:10:29 > 0:10:32There you go. You have yourself a sandwich.

0:10:32 > 0:10:35Two grown men making sandwiches with their feet?

0:10:35 > 0:10:36Now I've seen it all.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40You're not going to eat those? Really? Ugh...

0:10:40 > 0:10:42And you've both got your feet on the table - disgusting!

0:10:42 > 0:10:43Let's move on.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Hey, dude. Have you heard about these records

0:10:47 > 0:10:50that are like the heaviest in the world ever?

0:10:50 > 0:10:53No, dude. Tell me.

0:10:53 > 0:10:57# Whoa, dude, this is so heavy

0:11:23 > 0:11:25He lifted stuff with his toes?

0:11:25 > 0:11:28# That's like 23 bags of sugar which is sweet

0:11:28 > 0:11:31# And totally great... #

0:11:31 > 0:11:33Ha, ha, cool!

0:11:33 > 0:11:37# Whoa, dude, this is so heavy

0:11:37 > 0:11:43# Whoa, dude, this is so heavy

0:11:43 > 0:11:47# Well, who do you think has the heaviest tongue on planet Earth? #

0:11:47 > 0:11:49The heaviest tongue? I don't know, man.

0:11:49 > 0:11:52# A tongue so big that 50 people could stand on it

0:11:52 > 0:11:55# That's quite some girth... #

0:11:55 > 0:11:5750 people? Whoa, that's more than I had at my party.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59# It weighs as much as an elephant

0:11:59 > 0:12:03# I bet you can't guess right but this is fun... #

0:12:03 > 0:12:05Fun for you, maybe - just tell me, dude.

0:12:05 > 0:12:06- # Do you give up? # - Yep.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08# It's the blue whale

0:12:08 > 0:12:11# With a tongue that weighs about four tonnes... #

0:12:11 > 0:12:14A four-tonne tongue? Whoa!

0:12:14 > 0:12:17# Whoa, dude, this is so heavy

0:12:17 > 0:12:21# Whoa, dude, this is so heavy

0:12:21 > 0:12:23# The heaviest man weighed something crazy

0:12:23 > 0:12:26# The same as six bouncing elephant babies

0:12:26 > 0:12:27# And what about the world's heaviest bird?

0:12:27 > 0:12:29# Was heavy as a grand piano That's absurd

0:12:29 > 0:12:31# The heaviest squid Well, do you know?

0:12:31 > 0:12:33# It weighs the same as a golf buggy... #

0:12:33 > 0:12:34Whoa!

0:12:34 > 0:12:36# These things are amazing I have to say

0:12:36 > 0:12:38# Who could have guessed how much things weigh?

0:12:38 > 0:12:41# Whoa, dude, this is so heavy

0:12:41 > 0:12:46# Whoa, dude this is so heavy. #

0:12:46 > 0:12:48Wow, I actually feel like I learned something.

0:12:48 > 0:12:49Thanks, dude.

0:12:53 > 0:12:54Phew!

0:12:54 > 0:12:55- 'Part two.'- Aah!

0:12:57 > 0:12:58Back to the circus, now,

0:12:58 > 0:13:02to find out if Hercules can make it third time lucky.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04Remember, he's attempting the Guinness World Record

0:13:04 > 0:13:06for the greatest combined weight juggled.

0:13:06 > 0:13:09Which basically means he has to juggle three tyres

0:13:09 > 0:13:10for at least 30 seconds.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12OK, so here's how it stands.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15Hercules, on his first attempt, was four seconds away from a record.

0:13:15 > 0:13:19On his second attempt, one second away from a record.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21No question about his strength or determination.

0:13:21 > 0:13:25But has he got enough stamina to nail this on the third attempt?

0:13:25 > 0:13:28Those tyres weigh 9kg each.

0:13:28 > 0:13:29And there are three of them!

0:13:31 > 0:13:35So, Hercules, third attempt time. You came so close before.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37This time you've changed your shoes.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Yeah, that's right. I want to try these shoes.

0:13:39 > 0:13:43- OK, so is that for better grip on the floor?- I hope.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46All right. Well, I'm going to stand back, give you a bit of time to set.

0:13:46 > 0:13:47OK, thank you.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51New shoes - check. Game face on - check.

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Deep breath - check.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55Vital necklace adjustment - check.

0:13:55 > 0:13:59World records don't come easy. Come on, Hercules!

0:13:59 > 0:14:02One last go. So close, last time.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05Has he got it in him?

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Look at the determination.

0:14:07 > 0:14:09Ten seconds.

0:14:14 > 0:14:19Look how high he's throwing those massive tyres. What an effort.

0:14:19 > 0:14:22You can see he really wants this record.

0:14:22 > 0:14:2420 seconds.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27Remember, he needs to juggle this huge weight

0:14:27 > 0:14:31for 30 seconds. Can he do it? Come on!

0:14:31 > 0:14:3430 SECONDS!

0:14:34 > 0:14:37YES!

0:14:37 > 0:14:39YES!

0:14:39 > 0:14:44Hercules, put it there. You did it!

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Oh, I'm so pleased for you.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51Look at this guy, he's exhausted. And no wonder!

0:14:55 > 0:14:57That was incredible.

0:14:57 > 0:15:00How are you feeling right now, apart from very sweaty?

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Very sweaty and very tired.

0:15:02 > 0:15:03You did it, Hercules.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06And that one of the most exciting things I've ever seen.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09You've achieved a new Guinness World Record title. So, congratulations.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Thank you so much.- Well done.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16Is there any doubt that this guy is officially amazing?

0:15:33 > 0:15:36You can forget the World Cup, the Olympics

0:15:36 > 0:15:38and your mum's bingo night.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42Welcome to the greatest competition on the planet.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45Each time our three record-breaking titans face off

0:15:45 > 0:15:49in a fierce battle of agility, skill and nerve.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53They're playing for personal glory, potential Guinness World Records

0:15:53 > 0:15:59and national pride in records that you can attempt at home.

0:15:59 > 0:16:03Representing the UK is Sizzling Steve.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06This steadfast stick of record-breaking rock

0:16:06 > 0:16:08is Cool Britannia personified.

0:16:11 > 0:16:16This half-dressed man from Japan is the legend that is Mr Cherry.

0:16:16 > 0:16:18He's a hot to trot record-breaking hotshot.

0:16:18 > 0:16:21You know what? He's got the lot.

0:16:21 > 0:16:22Ay, ay, ay, ay!

0:16:23 > 0:16:29And our man in the USA is the one and only US Ray.

0:16:29 > 0:16:33This pint-sized patriot performs with the pride of many lions -

0:16:33 > 0:16:36in fact, with the pride of a pride of lions.

0:16:37 > 0:16:38So far in the competition,

0:16:38 > 0:16:40US Ray has star jumped his way

0:16:40 > 0:16:42to one victory,

0:16:42 > 0:16:44but he trails behind Mr Cherry and Sizzling Steve,

0:16:44 > 0:16:47who have charged to three victories each.

0:16:47 > 0:16:52Between them they've broken five world records in the process.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54Today's challenge involves sorting out

0:16:54 > 0:16:56some mixed-up little jelly babies -

0:16:56 > 0:16:58they're going for the record for...

0:17:02 > 0:17:06Our heroic challengers need to place 30 of these little blighters

0:17:06 > 0:17:08into separate containers according to their colour,

0:17:08 > 0:17:10as quickly as they can.

0:17:10 > 0:17:14One man who is confident with his chopsticks is Mr Cherry.

0:17:14 > 0:17:16OK, so you're back.

0:17:16 > 0:17:19And, this time, using chopsticks is the key to this challenge.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21Are you confident?

0:17:21 > 0:17:26TRANSLATOR: In Japan, we use chopsticks all the time.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29I've got chopstick spirit, me.

0:17:29 > 0:17:30BOING!

0:17:30 > 0:17:33So what is your favourite jelly baby colour?

0:17:33 > 0:17:36- Orenji!- Orange.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42For this attempt, 30 separate jelly babies of five different colours

0:17:42 > 0:17:44are laid out randomly.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48Only one jelly baby at a time may be picked up with the chopsticks.

0:17:48 > 0:17:50They must be sorted according to their colour

0:17:50 > 0:17:52into five separate beakers.

0:17:52 > 0:17:57The existing record is 36.53 seconds.

0:17:57 > 0:18:01Three, two, one, go.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Mr Cherry off to a flying start.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10This is super-slick chopsticking by our man in Japan.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Look at the concentration on his face.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16They might be jelly babies, but this isn't child's play.

0:18:16 > 0:18:18It's been a methodical approach by Mr Cherry,

0:18:18 > 0:18:21one colour at a time, and he's almost...

0:18:21 > 0:18:23- there!- That looked fast to me,

0:18:23 > 0:18:27but before we find out how he got on, let's see how US Ray...

0:18:27 > 0:18:28- Are you ready?- I'm ready.

0:18:28 > 0:18:30..and Sizzling Steve do.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32- OK?- Yep.

0:18:32 > 0:18:34- Three...- ..two...- ..one... - ..jelly baby.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38A bit of a slow start by US Ray.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42Sizzling Steve is out of the traps quickly.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45They're both going for the scatter-gun approach,

0:18:45 > 0:18:47rather than Mr Cherry's one colour at a time tactic.

0:18:50 > 0:18:54These chopsticks are like an extension of the Sizzler's fingers,

0:18:54 > 0:18:55he's on fire!

0:18:55 > 0:18:59Ooh, a second of hesitation there, though - that could cost him.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01US Ray's in the groove now.

0:19:01 > 0:19:05These jelly babies are being slam-dunked into the beakers.

0:19:05 > 0:19:07Sizzling Steve is done.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10That was fast. A man on a jelly baby mission.

0:19:10 > 0:19:14And US Ray is not far behind.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16Two...one. All right.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19But who has won and do we have another world record?

0:19:21 > 0:19:23The results are in, and in third place

0:19:23 > 0:19:27is US Ray with a time of 42.59 seconds.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32So, it's between Mr Cherry and Sizzling Steve.

0:19:33 > 0:19:37The current record stands at 36.53 seconds.

0:19:37 > 0:19:41And what you have achieved now...

0:19:41 > 0:19:42is...

0:19:43 > 0:19:47..27.97 seconds.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49Oh, amazing!

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Amazing! Amazing!

0:19:52 > 0:19:55Mr Cherry has smashed the world record.

0:19:55 > 0:19:56Well done, well done!

0:19:56 > 0:19:58Congratulations, Mr Cherry,

0:19:58 > 0:20:02- another fantastic... - Wait, wait, wait, Haruka.

0:20:02 > 0:20:03Never write off the Sizzler.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06Did you do it faster?

0:20:06 > 0:20:07Yes, you did.

0:20:07 > 0:20:1027.92 seconds

0:20:10 > 0:20:14- Wow! 27 - Steve, that's incredible. - Yes, it is.

0:20:14 > 0:20:18Sizzling Steve has snatched victory and a world record

0:20:18 > 0:20:20by just four one hundredths of a second.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22Talk about close!

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Doing it for the UK, baby.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27Bad luck, Mr Cherry.

0:20:27 > 0:20:28HE ROARS

0:20:28 > 0:20:32Remarkably, this catapults a jubilant Steve into the overall lead

0:20:32 > 0:20:34in the competition on four victories.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37US Ray is still on just one win,

0:20:37 > 0:20:39and Mr Cherry is right behind

0:20:39 > 0:20:40the Sizzler on three.

0:20:40 > 0:20:42It's still too close to call.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45I really have no idea what will happen next.

0:20:45 > 0:20:46Neither do I!

0:20:46 > 0:20:47Me either.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51So, join us next time on...

0:20:57 > 0:20:58IT ROARS

0:20:58 > 0:21:00Aah!

0:21:04 > 0:21:07Now, I think I've proved so far on Officially Amazing

0:21:07 > 0:21:09that I'm an all-out action man.

0:21:11 > 0:21:13Oh, no!

0:21:13 > 0:21:15Aah!

0:21:15 > 0:21:17And today's no exception.

0:21:17 > 0:21:22I'm about to bungee jump 400 feet into this quarry right here.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25After three, two, one -

0:21:25 > 0:21:28bungee!

0:21:33 > 0:21:35I tell you what, special effects these days, eh?

0:21:35 > 0:21:39Let's meet today's daredevil, who is a really old daredevil.

0:21:39 > 0:21:43This is Ray Woodcock, a 71-year-old grandad

0:21:43 > 0:21:47and great-grandad who loves to push himself to the absolute limit.

0:21:47 > 0:21:50Whether it's scaling active volcanoes,

0:21:50 > 0:21:52driving a team of huskies across the Arctic,

0:21:52 > 0:21:55or achieving the world's highest civilian sky dive

0:21:55 > 0:21:58from nearly six miles above the Earth,

0:21:58 > 0:22:00all to raise money for charity -

0:22:00 > 0:22:04age definitely isn't an issue for Grandpa Ray.

0:22:04 > 0:22:07But today he hopes to trump all his past achievements

0:22:07 > 0:22:10by smashing the Guinness World Record for the...

0:22:13 > 0:22:16Well, here's the man who proves you don't have to get less active

0:22:16 > 0:22:17as you get older.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19- Hello, Ray.- Good morning.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21- How are you doing?- I'm quite well.

0:22:21 > 0:22:22I mean, you're 71 years old.

0:22:22 > 0:22:25You must have been bungee-jumping pretty much your whole life, right?

0:22:25 > 0:22:27First one.

0:22:27 > 0:22:31- Your first bungee jump...- Yeah. - ..is a 400-feet water-submersion?

0:22:31 > 0:22:33- Yes. - BEN LAUGHS

0:22:33 > 0:22:35What are you doing, Ray?!

0:22:35 > 0:22:36What are you doing?

0:22:36 > 0:22:40Not only are you going to be falling 400 feet through the air,

0:22:40 > 0:22:42but then, at the bottom of that height,

0:22:42 > 0:22:44you're submerged completely into water.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47That sounds difficult and dangerous. Is it?

0:22:47 > 0:22:50Dangerous, yes. You've got the water tension to break.

0:22:50 > 0:22:54If you smack your hand onto water that will hurt.

0:22:54 > 0:22:58If you jump off a normal 10m board at a swimming pool,

0:22:58 > 0:23:00if you're unprotected, if you hit tummy first,

0:23:00 > 0:23:02you can split yourself from one end to the other.

0:23:02 > 0:23:04So, at 400 feet, then?

0:23:04 > 0:23:08I mean, that could literally feel like you were hitting solid ground.

0:23:08 > 0:23:10Yes, it's classed as concrete unless you break that tension.

0:23:10 > 0:23:13That's why they have to go in very, very pointed,

0:23:13 > 0:23:15to break the tension of the water.

0:23:15 > 0:23:19Concrete?! What could possibly go wrong?

0:23:19 > 0:23:24The original record was set from 50m in 2006 - that's about here.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27Ray is going to more than double that attempt

0:23:27 > 0:23:31from the top of this 116m crane -

0:23:31 > 0:23:37that's the equivalent of nearly three 12-storey blocks of flats.

0:23:37 > 0:23:40There's a helicopter and ambulance on stand-by.

0:23:40 > 0:23:42I really hope we don't need them.

0:23:42 > 0:23:46While Ray gets ready, here are the rules.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49Ray's entire body, excluding his feet,

0:23:49 > 0:23:52must be submerged in the water for the jump to count,

0:23:52 > 0:23:55and he must then be pulled free of the water by the bungee cord.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01Could we be about to see something very special?

0:24:03 > 0:24:07Oh, look at the ground disappearing rapidly beneath him.

0:24:07 > 0:24:12116m up in the air. He's 71, you know.

0:24:15 > 0:24:17I'm nervous. Is Ray nervous?

0:24:17 > 0:24:18Any last words?

0:24:22 > 0:24:24The weather's nice?!

0:24:24 > 0:24:27Have you seen almost-certain death underneath you, Ray?

0:24:27 > 0:24:28What a trouper.

0:24:31 > 0:24:33Good luck, Grandad.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Three, two, one -

0:24:38 > 0:24:40bungee.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49Prepare to get wet!

0:24:51 > 0:24:52Ah. Or not.

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Time to have a word with official adjudicator Eva.

0:24:56 > 0:24:58Something's gone wrong, hasn't it, Eva?

0:24:58 > 0:24:59Because he didn't touch the water.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02That's right, Ben. He didn't touch the water, I'm afraid.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04He wasn't submerged at all.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06Oh, well, it's a fail.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09Well tried - let's go and have a nice cup of tea...

0:25:09 > 0:25:11What?! He's going for another one?

0:25:12 > 0:25:15Here we go - they've lengthened the bungee cord,

0:25:15 > 0:25:18so this time Ray should get a proper dunking.

0:25:29 > 0:25:33He's in - and he's out.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35Let's see that again.

0:25:35 > 0:25:37Spladoosh.

0:25:37 > 0:25:41There was definitely water contact, but was it enough?

0:25:41 > 0:25:42He is so close.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44We are just trying to ascertain

0:25:44 > 0:25:48whether his entire body has gone into the water or not.

0:25:48 > 0:25:50But before adjudicator Eva

0:25:50 > 0:25:52has even had a chance to review the footage,

0:25:52 > 0:25:55Ray has decided he's going to go again, just to make sure.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57The man is incredible.

0:26:01 > 0:26:06Ray's already jumped twice more than any sane 71-year-old would.

0:26:06 > 0:26:08But he's going to do it again.

0:26:08 > 0:26:10Time for his third and final go.

0:26:14 > 0:26:18OK, here we go, in three, two, one - bungee!

0:26:24 > 0:26:26Falling 116m,

0:26:26 > 0:26:29will he get completely submerged this time?

0:26:31 > 0:26:33Ayyy!

0:26:35 > 0:26:38Like a massive blue digestive biscuit in a huge cup of blue tea,

0:26:38 > 0:26:41that looked dunkaliciously promising.

0:26:42 > 0:26:45I think we could be looking at something pretty special here.

0:26:47 > 0:26:50Adjudicator Eva is reviewing the footage.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52Ray's looking confident.

0:26:52 > 0:26:56Let's find out if the grandad has grand-done it.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59It's a new Guinness World of Records title, congratulations.

0:26:59 > 0:27:00He has!

0:27:03 > 0:27:07To me, personally, Ray is an OAP - an Officially Amazing Person.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13Congratulations, Grandad Ray.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17What a hero and what a way to end the show.

0:27:17 > 0:27:19Join us next time for more ridiculously brilliant

0:27:19 > 0:27:22record breakers like these.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24# Well, the jelly babies were jumbled

0:27:24 > 0:27:27# And the fellas all fumbled with chopsticks against the clock

0:27:27 > 0:27:30# Cherry came close but the Sizzler won

0:27:30 > 0:27:31# And now he's the guy at the top

0:27:31 > 0:27:34# We watched Hercules struggle

0:27:34 > 0:27:36# But he broke that record for his tyre juggle

0:27:36 > 0:27:38# Rob Williams' sandwich was quick

0:27:38 > 0:27:41# But it made us feel a little bit sick

0:27:41 > 0:27:45# And OAP Ray amazed on the end of a bungee!

0:27:45 > 0:27:49# It's all Officially Amazing! #
