0:01:22 > 0:01:24Yes, really! For something...

0:01:52 > 0:01:55I've not brushed my teeth or changed my... AL!
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Oh, Ben! You're not in bed,
0:01:58 > 0:02:00you're in a bed race.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04Yes, bed races in fancy dress are an actual thing.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I was surprised too.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10And yes, those weird trolleys are in fact competition standard beds.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13But hey, anything that features an Oompa-Loompa in shades
0:02:13 > 0:02:15is cool in my book.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19And today, the Knaresborough Bed Race will witness two teams
0:02:19 > 0:02:21attempting a brand-new World Record.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- Ben, are you dressed yet? - MUMBLING:- All right, all right, Al.
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I'm almost there. Give me a chance. Ugh, back in the game!
0:02:28 > 0:02:31Today, we're here to see a bed racing sprint.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Two elite teams are taking on a new record
0:02:33 > 0:02:36for the fastest 200 metre bed race.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38The track starts up there
0:02:38 > 0:02:41and ends over that side of the river.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44Let's go and meet the teams who are taking part.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Meet bed race champions the Harrogate Harriers
0:02:46 > 0:02:48and their passenger Charlotte.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51And local heroes, the Knaresborough Striders,
0:02:51 > 0:02:53who will be shuttling Abigail.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57They'll be competing against each other in the race for the record.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01It's the combination of beds, speed, rivers and lunacy that we've
0:03:01 > 0:03:04all been waiting for and finally, that moment is here.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- Who's ready to break a World Record? - ALL: Yeah!
0:03:07 > 0:03:09I thought so!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11To show you how gruelling the course is,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13we hired a premier athlete to demonstrate.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17But he couldn't make it, so Ben will have a go instead!
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Now, the racers will start here and they're off! We're going.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22It's quite a jog. Er, all the way down this track.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25It's muddy underfoot and they're going to be going at quite a pace.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27And remember, they're also going to...
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- PANTING:- Ooh, they're also going to have a bed.
0:03:30 > 0:03:32And luckily, they get to the river and they think,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34"Oh, I don't have to push a bed through a river, do I?"
0:03:34 > 0:03:35Yes, you do. Here goes.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37Ugh!
0:03:37 > 0:03:38The teams will sprint to the river
0:03:38 > 0:03:41and fearlessly tackle the slippy incline...
0:03:41 > 0:03:43- BEN SQUEALS - ..before heroically crossing
0:03:43 > 0:03:47the treacherous waters without ruining their hair.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51And scaling the muddy bank with superhuman strength!
0:03:51 > 0:03:53BEN GIGGLES AND SQUEALS
0:03:53 > 0:03:55How you feeling, Ben?
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Ugh, I'm tired and I'm wet and I'm squelchy in the feet.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59Ugh!
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Yes!
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Well, I think I handled that with dignity.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07While I dry off and the teams get ready for their record attempt,
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Haruka's got a puzzle for you.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Eh, heh! Eh!
0:04:15 > 0:04:16Oh!
0:04:17 > 0:04:21Welcome to China, for a World Record title attempt.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23But can you guess the record? Is it...
0:04:28 > 0:04:29..or...
0:04:33 > 0:04:34Yes.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36All the happy dancers and sparklers
0:04:36 > 0:04:38obviously means today's
0:04:38 > 0:04:39record attempt is...
0:04:44 > 0:04:46The angrier, more lethal cousin of...
0:04:48 > 0:04:51..we saw last series. SHE SCREAMS
0:04:51 > 0:04:54This is how it works - this is the sphere
0:04:54 > 0:04:57and these are the motorcyclists.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58They've got to get as many of them
0:04:58 > 0:05:01riding around inside the sphere as they can.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Ben knows from the last series just how deathly a sphere
0:05:04 > 0:05:06full of motorcycles can be.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Oh, get me out of here!
0:05:08 > 0:05:12As you can see, it's very dangerous, but don't worry, for today's
0:05:12 > 0:05:14attempt, we've got China's
0:05:14 > 0:05:16best doctors poised and ready.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18Let's check out the rules.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21All bikes must be moving within the sphere at the same time
0:05:21 > 0:05:24and they have to keep moving
0:05:24 > 0:05:26for at least 30 seconds.
0:05:26 > 0:05:27To set a new World Record,
0:05:27 > 0:05:30the Puyang Haoyi Acrobatic Group
0:05:30 > 0:05:32need eight motorcycles in the sphere.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33But they are going to attempt
0:05:33 > 0:05:35a treacherous ten!
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Going in one at a time, they start with four riders in the sphere.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42This is all precisely planned.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Each bike knows where they have to go.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46But if one gets it just slightly wrong,
0:05:46 > 0:05:48let's just say it's not called a...
0:05:51 > 0:05:54..for nothing! Be careful, guys!
0:05:54 > 0:05:57That's now five bikes cycling at the top
0:05:57 > 0:06:00and that's ten bikers now in the sphere.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Then they all ride for 30 seconds.
0:06:02 > 0:06:05Ridiculously dangerous.
0:06:05 > 0:06:0720 seconds left.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Every rider has to keep to exactly the right speed
0:06:12 > 0:06:16and exactly the right part of the sphere to avoid disaster!
0:06:19 > 0:06:21Five seconds to go. Can they do it?
0:06:25 > 0:06:28They've done it! Breathtaking record breaking.
0:06:28 > 0:06:32And for surviving death, they get a certificate.
0:06:32 > 0:06:36How come he gets it? He wasn't even in the sphere.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Unbelievable! Back to you, Ben!
0:06:39 > 0:06:40Thanks, Haruka.
0:06:40 > 0:06:41Back in Knaresborough,
0:06:41 > 0:06:45both teams are ready to contend the fastest 200 metre bed race.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47Here are the rules.
0:06:47 > 0:06:49The course must be 200 metres long
0:06:49 > 0:06:52and at least 10 metres of the course must be through water.
0:06:52 > 0:06:54The team must consist of six people pushing the bed,
0:06:54 > 0:06:56plus one passenger on the bed
0:06:56 > 0:06:57throughout the race.
0:06:57 > 0:07:02And to set a new World Record, the time to beat is...
0:07:02 > 0:07:04There's a World Record up for grabs.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06- Do we think we're going to get one? - ALL: Ooh, yeah!
0:07:06 > 0:07:10Yeah? And, out of the two of you, which team's going to reign supreme?
0:07:10 > 0:07:11THEY SHOUT AT SAME TIME
0:07:11 > 0:07:14Well, I think that was a consensus of no consensus.
0:07:14 > 0:07:15Well, if you guys are all ready,
0:07:15 > 0:07:18I think it's time to get set for this record, all right?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20- ALL: Yeah! - Excellent.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22Because this is a time trial record,
0:07:22 > 0:07:25the teams will run the course separately, against the clock.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Knaresborough, are you guys ready? - ALL: Yeah!
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Harrogate, are you ready? - ALL: Yes!
0:07:30 > 0:07:33Three, two, one, bed race!
0:07:33 > 0:07:35And they're off!
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Harrogate Harriers in red.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39And Knaresborough Striders in blue.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42The beds are flying down the opening sprint.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44Charlotte and Abigail have to hold on tight there.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46If they come off, it's race over.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50And they've reached that steep, muddy river bank. Wow!
0:07:50 > 0:07:51They're not hanging about.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53How did Charlotte and Abigail stay on?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55GIRL SCREAMS
0:07:55 > 0:07:58- Both teams have wet the bed! - IRONIC DRUM ROLL
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Knaresborough were just ahead as they hit the water,
0:08:01 > 0:08:02but catastrophe!
0:08:02 > 0:08:05They've been pulled off course by the river and got stuck in a tree!
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Will those seconds in the branches cost them?
0:08:10 > 0:08:11No such problems for Harrogate,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14they're charging through the water and reach the river bank first.
0:08:14 > 0:08:16Aqua-mazing!
0:08:16 > 0:08:20But oh, Harrogate are struggling to get the bed up the muddy bank.
0:08:20 > 0:08:21And so are Knaresborough.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24But look at the magnificent muscles on show!
0:08:24 > 0:08:28Straining those sinews to get a kid, in a bed, out of the river.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Don't slip, boys. Come on!
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Back with Harrogate and disaster has struck!
0:08:34 > 0:08:37They've lost a team-mate to the river. But what's this?
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Oh, a valiant rescue.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41In bed racing, no-one gets left behind.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44And look, with Knaresborough powering through,
0:08:44 > 0:08:45they're right back in it.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48It's neck and neck going into the final straight.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Both teams giving everything to that sprint finish.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Extraordinary scenes!
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Over now to Official Adjudicator Anna, to see
0:08:56 > 0:09:00if either team beat three minutes 45 to claim the new record.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03Er, well, I can confirm that there is a new Guinness World Records
0:09:03 > 0:09:05achievement today.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07But which team?
0:09:07 > 0:09:11There's only seven seconds difference, it was very close.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13And the fastest team today was...
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- Harrogate Harriers. - THEY CHEER
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Well done! In a spectacular feat of record breaking,
0:09:20 > 0:09:23both teams demolished the target time.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Knaresborough got...
0:09:25 > 0:09:28but Harrogate Harriers set a new World Record of...
0:09:29 > 0:09:33And Charlotte did it all without even getting out of bed.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Now, let's join Al in America for something...
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Huh? Whoo!
0:09:41 > 0:09:42What!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45Argh! Oh!
0:09:45 > 0:09:48I'm Al Jackson and I have one mission in life -
0:09:48 > 0:09:51to travel America and guess the mystery records
0:09:51 > 0:09:53held by the people I meet.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57So far, I've failed to guess every one of 'em!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59I mean, how do you guess this stuff?
0:09:59 > 0:10:04Don't worry, Al, I have faith. Today you WILL finally guess a record.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Meet Mama Lou.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10She holds a powerful World Record.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13And, Al, because you're so rubbish, Mama Lou has a clue.
0:10:13 > 0:10:17OK, the clue is - it involves this.
0:10:17 > 0:10:18- Just a regular apple?- Uh-huh.
0:10:18 > 0:10:21This is a regulation standard, from a tree apple?
0:10:21 > 0:10:23What other kind of apple is there?
0:10:23 > 0:10:25So, that's your clue.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Five questions. Go!
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Does it involve putting an arrow through this?
0:10:30 > 0:10:31No.
0:10:31 > 0:10:35Does it involve you balancing this on a body part of yours?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37No.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39Do you juggle these? Do you maybe like alternate
0:10:39 > 0:10:42and you can eat two apples at the same time, like really quickly?
0:10:42 > 0:10:43No.
0:10:43 > 0:10:47Can you smash this with a part of your body part?
0:10:47 > 0:10:49- Yes.- What? Yes?
0:10:49 > 0:10:53I think you might get this, Al. You're very, very close!
0:10:53 > 0:10:55I know it! This is my last question.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- You crush this apple...- Yes?
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- ..faster than anybody on the planet...- Yes?
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Remember this moment, people, I think
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Al is about to finally guess a record.
0:11:05 > 0:11:08..in between your knees. You can just crush it like a machine.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09- No.- Oh, Al!
0:11:09 > 0:11:13Completely and utterly wrong, as usual.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16Show us what you do, Mama Lou.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22AL LAUGHS
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Yes, Mama Lou holds the World Record for...
0:11:30 > 0:11:32A staggering ten!
0:11:32 > 0:11:36But that's not all. Mama Lou can tear apart a pack of cards
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- and a phone book!- Urgh!
0:11:38 > 0:11:41It's an olden day's thing, ask your mum and dad.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44She can bend an iron bar. Crumbs!
0:11:45 > 0:11:48- GLASS SHATTERS - Even her kisses are super strong.
0:11:48 > 0:11:52Today, Mama Lou will be attempting to break the World Record for...
0:11:56 > 0:11:58That's turning this
0:11:58 > 0:11:59into this!
0:11:59 > 0:12:00Using just the hands.
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Here's Al to demonstrate.
0:12:02 > 0:12:04All you have to do is just...
0:12:04 > 0:12:06Start it...
0:12:06 > 0:12:08Roll it...
0:12:08 > 0:12:11MUSIC SCREECHES TO HALT
0:12:11 > 0:12:12Let's just do the rules.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16The frying pan must have a maximum diameter of 28 centimetres
0:12:16 > 0:12:18and the rolled pans cannot measure
0:12:18 > 0:12:21more than 24 centimetres in circumference.
0:12:21 > 0:12:24The current record is a flabbergasting five frying
0:12:24 > 0:12:26pans rolled in one minute.
0:12:26 > 0:12:29So, Mama Lou is attempting six pans today.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Ah, can you feel that? It's record-breaking time.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Mama Lou, how are you feeling?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- I'm ready. I'm ready. - Are you ready for a count in?
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Yeah. Yeah.
0:12:38 > 0:12:39All right.
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Three, two, one, begin!
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Oh, my word! Whoa! There we go!
0:12:45 > 0:12:48She just folded up a frying pan!
0:12:50 > 0:12:53- It's made of metal, people! - SHE GRUNTS
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Get it, get it, get it!
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- Urgh!- Yeah. All right! Looking good.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58On to number two. There we go.
0:13:03 > 0:13:04And it looks like she's struggling a bit.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- There you go!- Urgh!- Get it!
0:13:06 > 0:13:09She's losing vital seconds. World's strongest woman.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11World's strongest woman! Show 'em what's up.
0:13:11 > 0:13:14But just look at what she's doing. There we go, yeah!
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- Urgh! Yeah!- Perfect. Good.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- We're on our third pan.- Urgh!- Yeah!
0:13:18 > 0:13:22Rolling up a real, actual frying pan like it was a ham wrap.
0:13:22 > 0:13:23A frying pan!
0:13:26 > 0:13:29- Dig deep. Dig deep!- Urgh! - 30 seconds left.- Urgh!
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Dig deep! That's 30 seconds gone.
0:13:31 > 0:13:35She's not going to make it if she keeps up this pace.
0:13:35 > 0:13:36Come on, Mama Lou!
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Perfect! Good! Get this record, let's just get it! We're right here.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41- 20 seconds left.- There we go.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Wow! That's more like it. Superfast!
0:13:44 > 0:13:47But remember, they have to be rolled up tight enough to count.
0:13:47 > 0:13:48- Ten seconds left.- Let's go.
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Only ten seconds left and it's the final pan.
0:13:52 > 0:13:54Look at the strength in her fingers.
0:13:58 > 0:13:59- Everything you got!- Five, four...
0:13:59 > 0:14:01- Everything you got.- ..three...
0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Everything you got!- ..two, one.
0:14:06 > 0:14:07- Stop!- All right!
0:14:09 > 0:14:11It went right down to the last second,
0:14:11 > 0:14:13but was the final pan rolled in time?
0:14:13 > 0:14:18And are they all within that 24-centimetre circumference?
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- Official Adjudicator Ben measures the pans.- I'm nervous!
0:14:21 > 0:14:25The record to beat was five frying pans rolled in one minute.
0:14:25 > 0:14:28I can confirm that you've achieved a total...
0:14:31 > 0:14:33- ..of six frying pans.- Yeah.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35It's a brand-new Guinness World Records title.
0:14:35 > 0:14:38- Congratulations! Mama Lou did it. - I did it!
0:14:38 > 0:14:40New World Record holder, yes!
0:14:40 > 0:14:41She did it!
0:14:41 > 0:14:44A stupendous show of strength from Mama Lou.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Six frying pans in one minute.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49It's a brand-new World Record.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Now, I don't know about you,
0:14:50 > 0:14:55but when I see a woman bend pans with her bare hands, I need music!
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Hey!
0:15:01 > 0:15:04# What's cooking?
0:15:04 > 0:15:05# Hey!
0:15:07 > 0:15:08# Delicious
0:15:08 > 0:15:09# And strange!
0:15:11 > 0:15:13# I hope you're in the mood
0:15:13 > 0:15:15# For some record-breaking food
0:15:15 > 0:15:16# People tell me, please
0:15:16 > 0:15:19# Can I tell ya 'bout some cheese?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22# The Casu Marzu was a delicacy for some
0:15:22 > 0:15:24# But it's the world's most dangerous cheese
0:15:24 > 0:15:26# I wouldn't let that near my tongue!
0:15:26 > 0:15:30# This decomposing curd's filled with the maggots of cheese flies
0:15:30 > 0:15:33# And they're alive when you eat it!
0:15:33 > 0:15:34# I wouldn't give that a try
0:15:34 > 0:15:36Hm.
0:15:36 > 0:15:37# That cheese is funky!
0:15:37 > 0:15:38Hm.
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- # Record-breaking food - Hm.
0:15:40 > 0:15:43# Let's do it! Hah!
0:15:43 > 0:15:45# Now, if you like to throw your food
0:15:45 > 0:15:47# You might be really keen
0:15:47 > 0:15:49# On the largest annual food fight
0:15:49 > 0:15:50# It's called the Tomatina
0:15:50 > 0:15:54# 38,000 Spanish cats They threw tomatoes all around
0:15:54 > 0:15:55Argh!
0:15:55 > 0:15:59# 125 tonnes of fruit make juicy rivers flow through the town
0:15:59 > 0:16:01# Now, food can be delicious
0:16:01 > 0:16:03# And I tell you something incredible
0:16:03 > 0:16:05# There's a record for the fastest car
0:16:05 > 0:16:07# That's also edible!
0:16:07 > 0:16:08# In 2012, Mike Elder,
0:16:08 > 0:16:10# He built a car made out of cake
0:16:10 > 0:16:12# If you get hungry while driving
0:16:12 > 0:16:14# Make sure you don't eat the brakes!
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- Argh.- Hm.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- # That's tasty! - Hm.
0:16:19 > 0:16:21- # Delicious! - Hm.
0:16:21 > 0:16:22- # Nutritious! - Hm.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- # That's good for you. - Hm.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26- # Record-breaking too! - Hm.
0:16:26 > 0:16:28- # That's amazing! - Hm.
0:16:28 > 0:16:31# Now, food can grow almost everywhere
0:16:31 > 0:16:32# It don't matter about the place
0:16:32 > 0:16:36# But in 1995, some astronauts grew the first food in space
0:16:36 > 0:16:38# Up there in the stratosphere,
0:16:38 > 0:16:41# Five potato leaves they grew
0:16:41 > 0:16:44# Maybe one day we'll be growing veggies on the moon
0:16:44 > 0:16:46- # Let me tell ya now - Hm.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48- # Zero gravity food, y'all! - Hm.
0:16:48 > 0:16:50- # Space carrots! - Hm.
0:16:50 > 0:16:52# Nutritious and spacilicious!
0:16:52 > 0:16:54# Record-breaking food!
0:16:54 > 0:16:57# Mm...going to get me something to eat! #
0:16:57 > 0:17:00Never before has music made me so peckish, but no time to snack.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04- Amazing!- Take a deep breath, it's...
0:17:07 > 0:17:09Ergh, ergh!
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Oh, oh!- What!
0:17:12 > 0:17:18This is Ding, a Chinese fireman and Ding has a powerful pair of lungs.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21He can blow a hot water bottle up till it explodes.
0:17:21 > 0:17:24Wow! Ding can blow eggs upside down.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28Look! He's blowing eggs upside down!
0:17:28 > 0:17:30He's already got a World Record for this.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33And now, Ding and his mighty lungs are going to attempt
0:17:33 > 0:17:35a brand-new World Record.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37If you thought blowing on eggs was a bit niche,
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- Ding is attempting the record for... - HE INHALES DRAMATICALLY
0:17:44 > 0:17:45HE SIGHS
0:17:45 > 0:17:48That involves blowing this balloon to popping point
0:17:48 > 0:17:52with this massive fire hose in less than ten minutes.
0:17:52 > 0:17:58Ding is blowing. And blowing. And blowing. And blowing. And blowing.
0:17:58 > 0:17:59You get the gist!
0:17:59 > 0:18:04It's a lot of hose to fill with air, but gradually, very gradually,
0:18:04 > 0:18:07the balloon is getting bigger and bigger, until...
0:18:09 > 0:18:10Boom!
0:18:10 > 0:18:13The balloon is popped and Ding is a World Record holder,
0:18:13 > 0:18:17because it only took him seven minutes and 49 seconds.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Incredible blowing skills.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21- Well done, Ding! - PHONE RINGS
0:18:21 > 0:18:23Ooh, hang on, sorry. Hello?
0:18:23 > 0:18:24What?
0:18:24 > 0:18:26What? Ugh!
0:18:26 > 0:18:30That was Al. Some guy called Brian Jackson in America has just done
0:18:30 > 0:18:32the same thing in 53.2 seconds.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35A mere seven minutes faster!
0:18:35 > 0:18:38Oh, Ding! He looks so happy too!
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Let's nobody tell him and quickly head over to...
0:18:44 > 0:18:46- Ah!- Hm?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49- Hah!- Eh? Eh...
0:18:51 > 0:18:52DRUM ROLL
0:18:52 > 0:18:53- Eh. - BOTH: Argh!
0:18:56 > 0:18:59This series, we've taken three incredible men,
0:18:59 > 0:19:04who hold a magnificent 20 World Records between them, and set them
0:19:04 > 0:19:08against each other, competing for records that you can try at home.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13Representing the UK, quite possibly the greatest human this small
0:19:13 > 0:19:17island has ever produced - Sizzling Steve.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20For Team USA, proving all the best things come in
0:19:20 > 0:19:24small fleeced onesies, it's US Ray.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27And with the mighty expectations of Japan on his even mightier
0:19:27 > 0:19:29shoulders, I give you Mr Cherry!
0:19:31 > 0:19:34This is...
0:19:39 > 0:19:41With nine events played,
0:19:41 > 0:19:42Ray and Cherry are ahead
0:19:42 > 0:19:44with three wins each.
0:19:44 > 0:19:45Early leader Steve
0:19:45 > 0:19:48is behind with a slovenly two.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Let's find out what our competitors will be attempting today.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55The record today is a very intriguing one...
0:19:59 > 0:20:03For the first time this series, Al, Haruka and I will be working
0:20:03 > 0:20:05in partnership with our legends,
0:20:05 > 0:20:09as we throw the very lemons our heroes will catch.
0:20:09 > 0:20:12First though, our traditional battle to decide the order in which
0:20:12 > 0:20:14we would compete.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18We had to decipher the ridiculously bad scribbles our team-mates
0:20:18 > 0:20:20drew whilst blindfolded.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21Is that a duck? It's an elephant.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24In all too familiar scenes, Team Japan won!
0:20:24 > 0:20:28And after Team UK handled the loss with dignity...
0:20:28 > 0:20:31- HE SHOUTS:- Steve! - Ben, it's your fault!
0:20:31 > 0:20:35..Cherry chose the advantage of going third in the lemon challenge.
0:20:35 > 0:20:39But before we release the lemons, it's time for a team talk.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41So, Steve, this is a record all about lemons.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44If we don't bag it, are you going to be feeling bitter?
0:20:46 > 0:20:49Well, the way I see it, Steve, because I'm the thrower,
0:20:49 > 0:20:52I'm the helper, I'm giving you lemon aid.
0:20:52 > 0:20:53Mm.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57Ooh, it's still tense in the UK camp, but over at Team USA,
0:20:57 > 0:21:00it's all about teamwork, baby!
0:21:00 > 0:21:02We need to come up with a cohesive strategy,
0:21:02 > 0:21:05so we can take out Ben and Haruka. What do you think we should do?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- We just need that mind connection. - OK.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11Little Jedi tricking and then we'll just intimidate them
0:21:11 > 0:21:14- and do our thing.- We have that connection. We can't lose.
0:21:14 > 0:21:15We got this!
0:21:15 > 0:21:18So, are we guaranteeing a victory right now? I think we are.
0:21:18 > 0:21:20- I think we are. - All right, you heard it here.
0:21:20 > 0:21:22Guaranteed victory.
0:21:22 > 0:21:23HARUKA: Nothing is guaranteed
0:21:23 > 0:21:27when you're up against the citrus-sucking sorcerer of Japan, Al.
0:21:27 > 0:21:32So, for the next record, I will have to throw the lemons at you.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34How are you feeling about that?
0:21:34 > 0:21:35- Lemon, lemon. - HE SPEAKS JAPANESE
0:21:35 > 0:21:37- TRANSLATION:- Oh, lemons!
0:21:37 > 0:21:40If you chuck the lemon willy nilly, it will bounce right off me hand.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42We don't want that!
0:21:42 > 0:21:46But, if you launch it thusly, gently, softly,
0:21:46 > 0:21:50it should land in me waiting hand, gently, like I was your boyfriend.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53So, that's a good tip. I'm feeling a little nervous about this.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55How do you think we're going to do?
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- TRANSLATION:- Oh.
0:21:58 > 0:22:02If there's love, my love, we will beat the record, love.
0:22:02 > 0:22:04- Love me.- Love.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06Oops, sorry!
0:22:08 > 0:22:12Team Japan seem to have broken with protocol and fallen in love!
0:22:12 > 0:22:15Let's never speak of this again and look at the rules.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18Thrower and catcher must be at least 3 metres apart.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20The catcher must remain blindfolded
0:22:20 > 0:22:22and the lemons can only be
0:22:22 > 0:22:24thrown one at a time.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27The record to beat is an astonishing 15 lemons,
0:22:27 > 0:22:29caught by Ashrita, the world beater.
0:22:30 > 0:22:34First to put his blindfolded fruit catching reputation on the line,
0:22:34 > 0:22:36is US Ray.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39- Ray, you ready to get this record, baby?- Let's do this!
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- Who are you?- I'm US Ray! - Say it again.- US Ray.
0:22:42 > 0:22:43- Turn to them and say it.- US Ray.
0:22:43 > 0:22:45- US Ray, let's go right now!- Yo!
0:22:45 > 0:22:46Focus! Let's go.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48What was that, Steve?
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Three, two, one, go!
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Ready. Now!
0:22:53 > 0:22:55- Sorry.- Ready? Now!
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Boom! That's one.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59Ready? Now.
0:22:59 > 0:23:03'Is it me or is Al just randomly saying ready and now?
0:23:03 > 0:23:05'Zip it, Shires!'
0:23:05 > 0:23:06Now!
0:23:06 > 0:23:08'Ooh, almost had that one.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11'You get nothing for almost, Al.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14'There is so much pressure on we throwers today
0:23:14 > 0:23:18'and Al has buckled under that pressure.'
0:23:18 > 0:23:22Now. 'Boom! That's two! Now, that is how you throw a lemon.'
0:23:26 > 0:23:29- Now.- Oh!- Ready? Now.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31- Stop!- Ugh!
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Whoo!
0:23:33 > 0:23:35All right. All right. All right.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39Who's this? Who's this? "Ready? Now."
0:23:39 > 0:23:41It's harder than it looks and you guys are going to find that out.
0:23:41 > 0:23:46Bring on the lemons, they hold no fear for Team UK.
0:23:46 > 0:23:50Whoa! Stevie, baby, are you ready to sizzle for me?
0:23:50 > 0:23:54- Oh, yeah!- OK, then. - Three, two, one, go!
0:23:55 > 0:23:58'Steve!' Come on, Steve, catch 'em.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00'It's not quite what we had planned.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02'Has Steve nodded off?
0:24:02 > 0:24:05'I think so. Nobody's reactions could be that bad!
0:24:07 > 0:24:11'A one handed catch, how's that for a reaction!
0:24:11 > 0:24:13'That is why we call him Sizzler.
0:24:13 > 0:24:14'A fluke.'
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Panicking here.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21A little bending of the knees, I've never...
0:24:21 > 0:24:23This is...this is what happens... You've...
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- Stop!- Yes! Yes!
0:24:27 > 0:24:29Um, do we need an official count on that one?
0:24:29 > 0:24:32I think a toddler could count us in on that. That's all right.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34That's great, good job(!)
0:24:34 > 0:24:36'I won't lie, that was an embarrassment and a disgrace.'
0:24:36 > 0:24:40Agh, gosh! That was rubbish!
0:24:40 > 0:24:43Ooh, it doesn't look good for Team UK, Ben.
0:24:43 > 0:24:48And it's about to get worse, here comes Cherry.
0:24:49 > 0:24:54The preparation this man puts into every record is truly breathtaking.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58DOOR SQUEAKS
0:24:58 > 0:25:01Team Japan, leaving the best till last. Are you ready, Cherry?
0:25:01 > 0:25:04LOUD THUD
0:25:04 > 0:25:06- More power?- Right, more power.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09LOUD THUD WHIP CRACKS
0:25:09 > 0:25:10OK!
0:25:10 > 0:25:12HARUKA MUMBLES
0:25:12 > 0:25:14- CHERRY SPEAKS JAPANESE - No, no, no, no, no.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16'Hang on, what's he up to now?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19'Cherry can't see the lemons coming, Ben,
0:25:19 > 0:25:21'so he's going to try and hear them.'
0:25:21 > 0:25:22OK!
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Three, two, one, go!
0:25:24 > 0:25:26LEMON: Here I come! Ouch!
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- 'He didn't hear that one, Haruka.' - LEMON: Ouch!
0:25:28 > 0:25:29- Or that one! - HARUKA: 'Hilarious, Ben(!)
0:25:29 > 0:25:32'Yes! That's how you do it!
0:25:37 > 0:25:38'Yes, another!
0:25:41 > 0:25:43'Yes!
0:25:43 > 0:25:47'Noooo!
0:25:47 > 0:25:49'You're not throwing them loudly enough, Haruka.
0:25:49 > 0:25:50'It's a blip.
0:25:50 > 0:25:54'Whatever! Your aim's all over the place.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57'If you throw enough lemons, some of them will be caught.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59'I hope.'
0:25:59 > 0:26:01THEY CHEER
0:26:01 > 0:26:03Stop! Stop!
0:26:03 > 0:26:06'Ooh, one more right at the end. But will it count?
0:26:06 > 0:26:10'Let's find out, but I doubt you've got the World Record target of 15.'
0:26:12 > 0:26:15Well, at the end of a thrilling lemon-throwing competition,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18the results are in. Anna, have we broken a World Record?
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Most definitely not.
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Yes, it's another shambles!
0:26:23 > 0:26:26Particularly from Team UK with just one lemon.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28The Sizzler was livid.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29- ALL:- Ooh! - STEVE: One?
0:26:29 > 0:26:32That's, that's what the Sizzle man thinks of it.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37Team UK's in meltdown. Steve's left the bunker in disgust!
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Controversial scenes, Al.
0:26:39 > 0:26:41But, as you know, the bunker is hermetically sealed,
0:26:41 > 0:26:45so Steve's, in fact, just standing behind the cameraman in a strop.
0:26:45 > 0:26:49I couldn't count the last lemon cos it was outside the 30 seconds,
0:26:49 > 0:26:52so we have joint winners - USA, Japan with two each.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54CHEERING
0:26:54 > 0:26:56- CHANTS:- US Ray! US Ray! US Ray! - Japan! Japan!
0:26:56 > 0:27:00Yet more drama as Japan's final lemon is disqualified.
0:27:00 > 0:27:04They must share the point with a thrilled Team USA.
0:27:04 > 0:27:09Nothing but bitterness for Steve. Irony is a cruel beast.
0:27:09 > 0:27:11So, what does that mean for the scores?
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Well, the shared victory sees both
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Ray and Cherry increase their lead
0:27:15 > 0:27:17over simpering Steve.
0:27:17 > 0:27:19With only three events left,
0:27:19 > 0:27:21can he fight his way back into contention?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24Find out next time, when you join us for more rollicking records,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27like these...
0:27:27 > 0:27:28# Well, believe your eyes
0:27:28 > 0:27:32# You've seen food fly in a record filled with zest
0:27:32 > 0:27:33# But the going was tough
0:27:33 > 0:27:36# And no-one really got enough to win this lemony test
0:27:36 > 0:27:39# We saw a Chinese Sphere of Death
0:27:39 > 0:27:41# Ding nearly ran out breath
0:27:41 > 0:27:45# Mama Lou's mighty hands rolled up six frying pans
0:27:45 > 0:27:49# And the Harriers went like a dream in the bed racing
0:27:49 > 0:27:54# It's all Officially Amazing! #
0:28:08 > 0:28:10- Steve! - STEVE: Ben, it's your fault!
