0:01:20 > 0:01:22That's what I'm talking about!
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Wahey!
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Whoo-hoo-hoo!
0:01:42 > 0:01:44Uh-oh...waaah!
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Waaah-ha-ha-ha!
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Tee-hee!
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Bonjour! I'm here in the sun-drenched south of France -
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Marseille, to be exact - waiting for our next record breaker to arrive.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03It seems he's a bit late, but I've not let that get me down.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06I found myself on this little dinghy out in the ocean for a bit of
0:02:06 > 0:02:10r'n'r time - that's rod and reel, to you and me.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13'But fishing is merely a distraction to pass the time
0:02:13 > 0:02:15'while I wait for the main event.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18'And it's looming right beneath me as I float.
0:02:18 > 0:02:20'Prepare yourselves for something incredible -
0:02:20 > 0:02:23'prepare yourselves for flyboarding!'
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Big Franky Zapata!
0:02:36 > 0:02:39French flyboarding fanatic, Franky Zapata,
0:02:39 > 0:02:41actually invented the Flyboard
0:02:41 > 0:02:44and can do just about anything on his Jet Ski-powered machine.
0:02:44 > 0:02:47Just look at the man soar!
0:02:47 > 0:02:49He's actually flying with the power of water,
0:02:49 > 0:02:51like some sort of aquatic Iron Man!
0:02:54 > 0:02:55He can spin!
0:03:00 > 0:03:01He can flip!
0:03:06 > 0:03:08He can disappear!
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Where is he?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Incredible!
0:03:20 > 0:03:21And, more than that...
0:03:21 > 0:03:24He's going to break a record on this, too! We hope! Yes!
0:03:26 > 0:03:29Wow, and he can even carry idiots on that thing?!
0:03:29 > 0:03:33Don't be too jealous, Al. So, how does a Flyboard work?
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Well, bored of being a Jet Ski champion,
0:03:36 > 0:03:40Franky took his water bike, attached a mahoosive hose to it,
0:03:40 > 0:03:42and started experimenting.
0:03:42 > 0:03:43Water is blasted through the pipe
0:03:43 > 0:03:46to jets fitted on his specially designed board,
0:03:46 > 0:03:47which Franky is attached to
0:03:47 > 0:03:49with some even more specially designed boots.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Using this hand-held throttle,
0:03:52 > 0:03:56he controls the water pressure from his Jet Ski.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59Higher pressure allows him to soar over 15 metres in the air,
0:03:59 > 0:04:03while his Jet Ski sits down below all alone.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06All in all, this is an incredibly difficult machine to operate,
0:04:06 > 0:04:08but Franky is the best in the world at it.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I think it's time to meet Mr Flyboard himself.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Ahh-ha-ha-ha!
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Oh, look at that! Look at that!
0:04:21 > 0:04:23He's still going! I need to dry my feet.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25- That was brilliant!- Thanks.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27So Franky, it's great to meet you, first of all.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- But, please tell me - is this thing off?- Yep!
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- There's no water jets about to fly out?- No, no - it's fine.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Do you feel like a superhero up there?
0:04:35 > 0:04:38You feel like you're superhero because you can jump
0:04:38 > 0:04:43in the water as a mermaid, and you can also fly as Iron Man.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Nothing is like this. Nothing give you the ability to fly.
0:04:46 > 0:04:49You were telling me earlier, you haven't really done any
0:04:49 > 0:04:52- flyboarding for about four months? - Yeah, I didn't practice too much.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54But it's like bicycle, you never forget.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00Well, let's hope not, because today, he's attempting to get a new
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Guinness World Records title for...
0:05:05 > 0:05:07And this is a backflip.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Right, as Franky completes his last-minute checks,
0:05:12 > 0:05:15why don't we take a look at those all-important rules?
0:05:15 > 0:05:20Only complete 360 degree rotations will count towards the final total.
0:05:20 > 0:05:24Franky has just 60 seconds to complete the attempt.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26And, to set a new record,
0:05:26 > 0:05:29Franky needs to complete at least ten backflips.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31That means more than one every six seconds!
0:05:38 > 0:05:39OK, we're just about ready,
0:05:39 > 0:05:43you can probably see flyboarder ace Franky Zapata doing last-minute
0:05:43 > 0:05:47warm-ups behind me, let's see if he's about there. Franky, you good?
0:05:48 > 0:05:49I think he's ready.
0:05:49 > 0:05:50Bonne chance!
0:05:54 > 0:05:58The time doesn't start until he attempts his first backflip.
0:06:00 > 0:06:01One.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02Two.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03Three.
0:06:04 > 0:06:05And that's four already!
0:06:07 > 0:06:10'But after each set, Franky has to make sure the pipe uncoils -
0:06:10 > 0:06:13'otherwise, it could cut off his water supply
0:06:13 > 0:06:14'and end his record attempt.'
0:06:17 > 0:06:19Look at that, it's incredible!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21He's a human dolphin!
0:06:21 > 0:06:24But each flip must be making him more and more dizzy!
0:06:26 > 0:06:28It takes such effort to do that.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30A little break in-between to let the tube uncoil
0:06:30 > 0:06:34and his head settle again, but the 60 seconds are ticking away.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43He seems to be doing brilliantly, but he must be exhausted -
0:06:43 > 0:06:47and don't forget, he's controlling the Jet Ski at the same time.
0:06:53 > 0:06:54Not long left.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57Go on Franky!
0:06:57 > 0:06:59'One last push.'
0:07:05 > 0:07:06- Stop!- That's it!
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Stop!- That's it.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11That was absolutely brilliant, wasn't it?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17Franky has done all he can. Only official adjudicator Anna
0:07:17 > 0:07:20knows whether he's done more than ten back flips.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22All right, stop showing off.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Come on over here, Franky.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26That was incredible! How do you feel?
0:07:26 > 0:07:30- Ah, I feel not so bad.- Yeah? - I feel it was good.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34He seems pretty confident, and has that French cool about him,
0:07:34 > 0:07:36that je ne sais what.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39He seemed to do well, but were all the loops legal?
0:07:41 > 0:07:43Anna, how did he do?
0:07:43 > 0:07:45He did brilliantly, he achieved 26!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47- Wow, yes!- Congratulations!
0:07:47 > 0:07:4826?!
0:07:48 > 0:07:53Wow, a new world record, and more than double the target!
0:07:53 > 0:07:55- Yes!- Ah, look at that!
0:07:55 > 0:08:00Are you off? He's going! He's a superhero!
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Best record celebration ever!
0:08:06 > 0:08:08What have we got next, Haruka?
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Well, it involves spiders, Ben.
0:08:11 > 0:08:13Spiders?! Ahem, I mean...cool.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21Ow!
0:08:21 > 0:08:25Say g'day to 11-year-old Australian Tom Buchanan,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28also known as Spider-Boy.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30But he's not a real Spider-Boy -
0:08:30 > 0:08:33he's not been bitten by a spider and given spider powers.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35That's just silly.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36He is, however, about to attempt
0:08:36 > 0:08:40to obtain a Guinness World Record title, but which of these is it?
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Well, this isn't an easy one
0:08:53 > 0:08:55to spy...der.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Yes, it's the record for...
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Ew, why?!
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- Sounds fun. - Sounds fun? Sounds frightening!
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Tom has to lie in the Perspex booth for over 30 seconds with the
0:09:10 > 0:09:15spiders on his body, but at least he's wearing sufficient safety gear.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Those shorts should do the trick(!)
0:09:17 > 0:09:19The other guys are wearing thick gloves!
0:09:19 > 0:09:23These golden orb spiders are a little creepy and crawley,
0:09:23 > 0:09:26but, don't worry, they're not VERY poisonous. I think.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28SPIDER: Nah, he's safe, mate. Don't you worry.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32Phew! Well, they've got lovely voices.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34The current record is...
0:09:34 > 0:09:36But Tom wants to try...
0:09:37 > 0:09:43Which is precisely 125 more spiders than I'd ever want on me!
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Ew!
0:09:44 > 0:09:4915 seconds gone, he's halfway and handling this amazingly.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51And the spiders aren't doing too bad either.
0:09:51 > 0:09:56Strewth! They stinkles, mate! They smell worse than a possum's poo.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58He's nearly there!
0:09:58 > 0:10:01- 30 seconds, Tom.- He's done it! - Well done, mate! Bonza! Ripper!
0:10:01 > 0:10:06And he's also managed not to scream with a spider on his face. Argh!
0:10:06 > 0:10:09Congratulations to our Spider-Boy!
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Thanks, Haruka!
0:10:12 > 0:10:13Now, another record attempt
0:10:13 > 0:10:14starring an animal.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17But, thankfully, it's one that's far less spidery.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23- Whoa!- Tee-hee!
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Here on Officially Amazing, we love a dog record.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30And I am your man, your roving reporter,
0:10:30 > 0:10:33when it comes to sniffing out the latest record breaker.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37And so, today, I'm searching high -
0:10:37 > 0:10:40and low - to find a new daring doggie.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42- HE SNIFFS - Ugh!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Yes, I've got an exclusive scoop!
0:10:45 > 0:10:48And, hopefully, somewhere, a pooper-scooper.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Nothing gets past Benedict Sherlock Shires.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54All I need is my faithful friend to help me out -
0:10:54 > 0:10:56but I just can't find him anywhere!
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- He's behind you, Ben! - Behind me?!
0:10:59 > 0:11:01I'm not falling for that one.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04Anyway, I've had a tip-off about a very special dog.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07A five-year-old labradoodle called Millie.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09Not only can she skateboard...
0:11:09 > 0:11:11Not only can she ride a scooter...
0:11:11 > 0:11:15But today, this marvellous mutt is going to walk not forwards,
0:11:15 > 0:11:18but backwards, on a barrel,
0:11:18 > 0:11:21and try and gain a Guinness World Records title in the process.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24Can she do it? Well, I met up with Millie to find out.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27So, how are you feeling about today's record?
0:11:27 > 0:11:30Well, I hope it will be a backwards walk in the park. Ha-ha-ha!
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- Millie, on a scale of one to ten, how tasty is the mic?- Terrible!
0:11:34 > 0:11:38And you're filming me from my worst side! Unbelievable!
0:11:38 > 0:11:41Whoops! Well, maybe I'll have more luck with owner Imogen.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46When did you first discover that Millie could go
0:11:46 > 0:11:49- backwards on a barrel? - She learnt it about a year ago.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52When it moved a bit, she jumped off. But she quickly...
0:11:52 > 0:11:55In about two weeks, she was doing it all right.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58The secret to Millie's success is a highly sophisticated,
0:11:58 > 0:11:59custom-made piece of kit.
0:11:59 > 0:12:03AL: Yeah, it looks like a barrel with some carpet on it to me.
0:12:03 > 0:12:04Shut up, Al.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07MILLIE BARKS
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Oh, no - I'm sorry about this.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12He follows me around a lot. Go on!
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Whilst they go prepared for the record,
0:12:16 > 0:12:17why don't we check out the rules?
0:12:17 > 0:12:19MILLIE BARKS
0:12:19 > 0:12:20I can't resist.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24'Well, that's quite embarrassing. Back to the rules.'
0:12:26 > 0:12:28Millie must travel the full ten-metre distance
0:12:28 > 0:12:29whilst on the barrel.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Imogen can't physically assist her in any way -
0:12:32 > 0:12:34that means no pushing or pulling.
0:12:34 > 0:12:35And, to set a new record,
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Millie must complete her course
0:12:37 > 0:12:39in under 30 seconds.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41That's a long distance to keep doing this tricky task,
0:12:41 > 0:12:44especially when Millie can't even see where she's going!
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- Imogen, are you ready?- Yeah.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49- Excellent. Millie, you ready? - I was born ready.
0:12:49 > 0:12:52That's what I like to hear. Let's break a world record!
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- Step on. - 'Can she labradoodle it?'
0:12:55 > 0:12:57That's OK... Oh! And we're off!
0:12:57 > 0:12:59- Come on, good girl. - It's quick! Come on, Millie!
0:12:59 > 0:13:01'Look at her legs go!'
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Millie's not putting a paw wrong,
0:13:03 > 0:13:05but there are no wing mirrors on this barrel.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06She's trusting Imogen implicitly
0:13:06 > 0:13:09to keep her going in the right direction.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13She's on a roll, quite literally! Come on, Millie!
0:13:13 > 0:13:16'She's so close, but so are Imogen's hands.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18'If she touches Millie, it's all over.'
0:13:21 > 0:13:23Yes, yes, yes!
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- Brilliant stuff! Wow!- Good girl!
0:13:25 > 0:13:28Speedy or what?
0:13:28 > 0:13:29Incredible!
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Millie made that look easy, but to set the world record,
0:13:31 > 0:13:34she needs to be faster than 30 seconds.
0:13:34 > 0:13:35So, has she done it?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39So, she's a canine star and so are you
0:13:39 > 0:13:41because you achieved that in eight seconds!
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- Wow!- So, congratulations!
0:13:43 > 0:13:45Eight seconds! Eight seconds, Millie!
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Wow, that's officially amazing!
0:13:47 > 0:13:50And now, officially, a new world record.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53She's travelled ten metres in eight seconds -
0:13:53 > 0:13:56that's a speed of almost 5km an hour.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00Well, what a fantastic effort from Imogen and Millie.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02- Thank goodness she didn't cross the...- Oh, Ben!
0:14:02 > 0:14:06I can't stand this any more, I'm off.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08Oh, well, my joke scared her off.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12And speaking of scary stuff...
0:14:12 > 0:14:17Spooky records! Mwah-ha-ha-ha!
0:14:17 > 0:14:20# Now, Johann Heinrich Karl Thieme
0:14:20 > 0:14:23# Had a ghoulish job which was far from dreamy
0:14:23 > 0:14:26# Digging graves for 50 years
0:14:26 > 0:14:28# Who said the dead can't help your career
0:14:28 > 0:14:31# Skeletons are scary and skinless too
0:14:31 > 0:14:33# The University of Tennessee has got quite a few
0:14:33 > 0:14:36# The largest collection of human skeletons is quite a sight
0:14:36 > 0:14:39# But you probably wouldn't want to go and see it at night
0:14:39 > 0:14:42- # Spooky - They'll give you a fright
0:14:42 > 0:14:43# Spooky
0:14:43 > 0:14:45# Don't read about these records at night
0:14:45 > 0:14:47- # Spooky - Spooky things that people do
0:14:47 > 0:14:50# Let's hope nothing spooky ever happens to you
0:14:50 > 0:14:53# Bats and birds can be nasty things

0:15:23 > 0:15:26# The spookiest of all might be Jungle John

0:15:33 > 0:15:36# Surely that's the ultimate in spooky tests?
0:15:36 > 0:15:40- Lovely!- Ew!
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- # Spooky - They'll give you a fright
0:15:42 > 0:15:43# Spooky

0:15:51 > 0:15:56Mwah-ha-ha-ha!
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Yahoo!
0:16:02 > 0:16:03Uh-oh.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11Last series, three giants of world record breaking
0:16:11 > 0:16:13engaged in a global battle
0:16:13 > 0:16:16to become the undisputed king of Officially Competitive.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21Representing America and carrying the Star Spangled Banner,
0:16:21 > 0:16:23we met US Ray.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25Representing Japan,
0:16:25 > 0:16:28we witnessed the sparkly-spangled bottom of Mr Cherry.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30It's number one!
0:16:30 > 0:16:34And, representing the UK, our un-spangly national treasure,
0:16:34 > 0:16:35Sizzling Steve!
0:16:37 > 0:16:41They competed in a series of record attempts you can try at home!
0:16:41 > 0:16:44And, in the end, Mr Cherry came out on top,
0:16:44 > 0:16:46winning six out of 13 challenges
0:16:46 > 0:16:50and gaining six Guinness World Records titles in the process.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52Number one champion!
0:16:52 > 0:16:56But for how much longer will he be able to hang onto his crown?
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Because now, they're back!
0:16:57 > 0:17:01And for the first time ever, they're in the same place.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05They've been brought together from across the globe,
0:17:05 > 0:17:06ready to compete again
0:17:06 > 0:17:10in our top secret record-breaking bunker in the UK.
0:17:12 > 0:17:13But they're not alone.
0:17:14 > 0:17:19The whole Officially Amazing team is here to witness the greatness.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22This is...
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Let the games begin!
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Earlier on, the first task was to decide
0:17:30 > 0:17:34the order in which our competitors went in today's attempt.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37That was done by yours truly, Al and Haruka
0:17:37 > 0:17:40competing on behalf of our heroes, in a challenge called...
0:17:44 > 0:17:47All we had to do was move the chocolate from our forehead
0:17:47 > 0:17:51into our mouth using only our facial muscles as quickly as we could.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Al was discovered to be a cheeky cheat.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56- I put it back on my eye, where it was.- No!
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Then I skilled it, and came out on top.
0:17:59 > 0:18:01This meant Steve got to pick if he went first,
0:18:01 > 0:18:05second or third in their challenge, and he chose to go second.
0:18:05 > 0:18:06A tactical decision,
0:18:06 > 0:18:08meaning he could watch and learn from the first attempt,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11and then terrify the person coming after him.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14Due to Al's cheating, Ray's up first.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17But what is today's almighty record attempt?
0:18:17 > 0:18:20There's a bit of a party atmosphere pervading,
0:18:20 > 0:18:23because today, we're putting jelly on your telly.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Yes, that's right - it's the record for...
0:18:27 > 0:18:29But that's not all - there's a twist.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31They're eating with chopsticks.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Feeling confident, guys?
0:18:32 > 0:18:34- ALL:- Yes!
0:18:34 > 0:18:38If you're brave enough to want to try this at home, you will need...
0:18:41 > 0:18:43While we waited for our jelly to set,
0:18:43 > 0:18:45we caught up with the competitors.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49And after his sensational chopstick triumph over Mr Cherry last series,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52I met up with a super-confident Steve
0:18:52 > 0:18:54in his favourite picnic spot.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59So, Steve. The most jelly eaten with chopsticks in one minute.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02It's a chopstick record, surely you're a favourite?
0:19:02 > 0:19:04I'm always a favourite.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06Yeah, but "Cherry" sounds like "jelly".
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Do you think that gives him the advantage?
0:19:08 > 0:19:12If it's a cherry jelly, maybe.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15But if it's just strawberry jelly, then no.
0:19:15 > 0:19:19- So it could literally come down to jelly flavour as to who wins?- Yeah.
0:19:19 > 0:19:23Ohhhh-kay. So, flavours seem important to Steve.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25But when I spoke to US Ray,
0:19:25 > 0:19:27he was more concerned with what he'd be eating.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- The most jelly eaten with chopsticks. - Yeah!
0:19:30 > 0:19:32And I'm like, we put jelly with peanut butter and make a sandwich,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34but they call that - I guess it's our Jell-O.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37- Yeah, we need to let them know it's Jell-O.- That's right.
0:19:37 > 0:19:39- What's your favourite flavour of Jell-O?- Red.- Red.
0:19:39 > 0:19:41Red's not a flavour, that's a colour -
0:19:41 > 0:19:42but we're not here to split hairs.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45What are you going to do, what's your strategy?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47See, Jell-O's kind of tricky, it's kind of wobbly,
0:19:47 > 0:19:51so...I can't really say that I'm going to have a steady hand.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53It's just, kind of, go really fast.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57- How much Jell-O do you think you can get down?- As much as it takes.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59As much as it takes. This is a man that serious about Jell-O.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00That's right.
0:20:00 > 0:20:04And while Team USA worry about whether it's jelly or Jell-O -
0:20:04 > 0:20:06it's jelly, by the way -
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Mr Cherry was most concerned about the jelly's taste.
0:20:09 > 0:20:15So is there any difference between the UK jelly and Japanese jelly?
0:20:15 > 0:20:17HE SPEAKS IN JAPANESE
0:20:17 > 0:20:21- TRANSLATED:- Oh, aye - British jelly is disgusting.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27When I dated during practice, I knew I didn't like it.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28What?!
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Our jelly's delicious!
0:20:30 > 0:20:33Right, while the three competitors go off to mentally prepare
0:20:33 > 0:20:37for the attempt, he is a mental puzzle for you to decipher.
0:20:37 > 0:20:40- Al?- Yes, very confusing, Ben.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43This lady is sitting on a world record breaking item,
0:20:43 > 0:20:45but what is it?
0:20:45 > 0:20:50Is it the world's largest piano? The world tallest table?
0:20:50 > 0:20:55Or the biggest fossilised dinosaur poo ever?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Pia-pia-pia-KNOW, that the answer
0:20:58 > 0:21:01is the world's largest piano.
0:21:01 > 0:21:06And just look at it! A stonking great honky-tonk monster!
0:21:06 > 0:21:08Constructed by Daniel Czapiewski of Poland,
0:21:08 > 0:21:11the mammoth music box is over six metres long,
0:21:11 > 0:21:15two metres high, and weighs nearly two tonnes!
0:21:15 > 0:21:18But it's not alone in the world of instruments made for giants.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Check out this huge accordion made in Italy,
0:21:21 > 0:21:23it took over 1,000 hours to build!
0:21:25 > 0:21:27And that those with gargantuan lungs,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29here is the world's largest saxophone,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32which is nearly three metres in height!
0:21:32 > 0:21:35Brazilian J'Elle Stainer has built a pretty cool instrument.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Now that jazz!
0:21:38 > 0:21:42And what's more, all three of these are playable, working instruments.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Want to hear them play something? Sure, here you go!
0:21:45 > 0:21:47MUSIC PLAYS
0:21:47 > 0:21:49BOOM!
0:21:49 > 0:21:52Whoa-ho! Did not see... Oh, my... Hmm.
0:21:52 > 0:21:57Back to our jelly-based finale, then! I guess?! Go, Ray!
0:21:57 > 0:21:58Nice one, Al.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02Yes, here at Officially Competitiver HQ, we're ready for the...
0:22:05 > 0:22:06..record attempt.
0:22:06 > 0:22:11Here is the rule - you must use one hand only to hold the chopsticks,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14and that other hand must be kept behind their bag at all times.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16The record to beat is...
0:22:17 > 0:22:22..which is a lot of jelly - it's about the weight of an iPad!
0:22:22 > 0:22:24Each of them will have a large plate of jelly,
0:22:24 > 0:22:27which official adjudicator Anna will weigh before the attempt
0:22:27 > 0:22:28and then again afterwards.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31The difference in weight will confirm what they've eaten.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34US Ray's going to do America proud.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36And the crowd is cheering on the right man.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Bon appetit!- Jelly!
0:22:39 > 0:22:41I'll count you down from three...two...one...
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Begin!
0:22:43 > 0:22:45Come on, Ray.
0:22:45 > 0:22:46'Not much going in, Ray.'
0:22:46 > 0:22:50He seems to be struggling with his chopsticks.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Oh, I'm not sure that's allowed, Al!
0:22:52 > 0:22:55Just one simple rule about one hand, and he's broken it!
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Sh, Ben!
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Ah, man - Ray's chopsticks are all over the place!
0:23:00 > 0:23:04The record is for most jelly eaten - right now, I'd take any jelly.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06- Come on, Ray!- Ray, you're fine.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09There you go.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Oh! That's OK.
0:23:10 > 0:23:15Oh, that Jell-O and goodbye as it bounces off Ray's hungry mouth
0:23:15 > 0:23:16and back onto the plate.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18This couldn't end soon enough.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Yes, technique!- Five, four...
0:23:23 > 0:23:27- Go on, Ray! - ..three, two, one - stop!
0:23:27 > 0:23:30OK, now he has to show Anna his empty mouth to prove
0:23:30 > 0:23:31he swallowed all the jelly.
0:23:32 > 0:23:34It's tougher than it looks!
0:23:34 > 0:23:36- Ray, you feeling full now? - Just a little bit.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38- It's harder than it looks, right? - Definitely.- Yeah.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40We'll soon see.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Sizzling Steve chose to go second to learn from Ray's attempt -
0:23:43 > 0:23:46but in doing so, he's only learned how not to do it!
0:23:46 > 0:23:50And I'm not sure he should be doing that move either! Whatever it is.
0:23:50 > 0:23:52Anyway, go Steve!
0:23:53 > 0:23:56Count you in - on three, two, one...eat!
0:23:59 > 0:24:00ALL: Ugh!
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Steve is staying close to the plate, that's a good tactic.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07And shovelling the jelly speedily, and unpleasantly.
0:24:07 > 0:24:10But he still showing just how hard this challenge is.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Maybe you can do better at home?
0:24:15 > 0:24:17Mr Cherry's not the least bit worried.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Though, perhaps, slightly disgusted.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21And me and Ray...
0:24:21 > 0:24:23Well, we're just spellbound.
0:24:25 > 0:24:30- Five, four...- Yes. - ..three, two, one - stop!
0:24:30 > 0:24:32Ha-ha-ha!
0:24:32 > 0:24:34And a waterfall to finish. That was lovely.
0:24:34 > 0:24:35'Steve, showing Anna his mouth is empty -
0:24:35 > 0:24:39'ugh, I don't envy her job there... Steve had tuna for lunch.'
0:24:39 > 0:24:44Well, it's looking pretty good for Mr Cherry after that. Here we go!
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Ganbare Cherry!
0:24:46 > 0:24:49- OK! Chopsticks! - From Japan, ne?- OK.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Three, two, one - go!
0:24:53 > 0:24:56- Cherry is very speedy! - Uh-oh.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00But it's like listening to my grandmother slurping soup.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02There is a lot going on in, though.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Can he not just win, but potentially break the record?
0:25:05 > 0:25:09- Go on, Cherry - you can do it. - He's cleaning the plate.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Oh, that's a huge chunk!
0:25:14 > 0:25:16I think that piece alone was enough to beat Steve.
0:25:16 > 0:25:20And as for Ray, he was level with him before he even sat down.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24This is looking very hopeful!
0:25:24 > 0:25:29Five, four, three, two, one - stop!
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- All right!- Ew! Poor Anna.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35Well, after watching that slurp-tastic performance,
0:25:35 > 0:25:39there can really be little doubt of the outcome.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42Official adjudicator Anna dutifully weighs the leftover jelly,
0:25:42 > 0:25:46to see the difference between that and the starting weight and confirm
0:25:46 > 0:25:49exactly how much has left the plate and entered their stomachs.
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Well, in third place - unfortunately, there was
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- a disqualification. Ray, you used two hands...- Oh!
0:25:56 > 0:25:58- So you are disqualified. - Told you, Al!
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Here's the illegal move - Ray adjusting his chopsticks
0:26:01 > 0:26:02with that naughty second hand.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Not that a second hand helped, of course.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07It either Steve or Mr Cherry.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10But who was it, Anna?
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- It's Mr Cherry!- Yay!
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Yes - Steve only ate 226 grams.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20And now, the all-important question!
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Did we get a world record?
0:26:22 > 0:26:27- Yes, we did!- Yay!- Come on!
0:26:27 > 0:26:28Yes!
0:26:28 > 0:26:31With 663 grams of jelly eaten,
0:26:31 > 0:26:34he's beaten the previous record of 610 by 53 grams,
0:26:34 > 0:26:38and bagged himself a Guinness World Records title!
0:26:38 > 0:26:40CHANTING: Cherry! Cherry!
0:26:40 > 0:26:41Japanese bellies!
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Oh, bloop-bloop-bloop! Bloop-bloop-bloop!
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Japan bloop-bloop-bloooooppp!
0:26:46 > 0:26:49Oh, a traditional Japanese jelly-belly jive, there.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55And Mr Cherry begins the series as heroically as he ended the last.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57- But will his success continue? - Chopstick!
0:27:00 > 0:27:02And what does his win do to the scores?
0:27:02 > 0:27:06Well, it's the first event, so 1-0-0, obviously.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08But it's early days, with everything to play for.
0:27:08 > 0:27:11- LAUGHING:- Love Japan.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13England, no! USA...
0:27:13 > 0:27:15HE LAUGHS
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Love Japan!
0:27:17 > 0:27:20Will Steve and Ray wipe the smile off his face?
0:27:20 > 0:27:21Find out next time,
0:27:21 > 0:27:25when we will have more officially amazing record attempts, like these!
0:27:25 > 0:27:27# Well, in Officially Competitive
0:27:27 > 0:27:30# Our three legends gathered in one place
0:27:30 > 0:27:32# But Sizzler and Ray left town with dismay
0:27:32 > 0:27:35# As Cherry won the jelly-eating race
0:27:35 > 0:27:36# Franky Zapata amazed

0:27:43 > 0:27:47# And Millie wowed us all with her skills on a barrel
0:27:47 > 0:27:52# It's all Officially Amazing! #
