0:00:22 > 0:00:24# Amazing! #
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Ha!
0:00:25 > 0:00:29I'm Ben Shires and this is Officially Amazing,
0:00:29 > 0:00:31the show that puts a spring in your step
0:00:31 > 0:00:34with some of the most spectacular records from around the world.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Today, we're in Northampton
0:00:36 > 0:00:41for a bounce-tastic synchronised record attempt, featuring these two.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44But first, here's what's coming up in the rest of today's show.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Guys, they're just going to show some lovely clips now,
0:00:47 > 0:00:48so you can stop.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Now that's officially amazing! Here's what we've got for you.
0:00:52 > 0:00:56Yes, coming up on today's ultimate penultimate show of the series,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58we have some marvellously mammoth
0:00:58 > 0:01:02Guinness World Records title attempts, including...
0:01:04 > 0:01:08With only two challenges left in Officially Competitive,
0:01:08 > 0:01:12is now really the right time for the guys to be cleaning our faces?
0:01:15 > 0:01:19Over in Italy, these three muscular men pull faces like this,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22during an unusual record attempt.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24But what is it?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28And, for the first time ever,
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Officially Amazing is hosting its own glittering award ceremony,
0:01:32 > 0:01:35to present a worthy record breaker with this -
0:01:35 > 0:01:38the prestigious Golden Shires award.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41- CRASH - Once I've fixed it!
0:01:41 > 0:01:46First, though, we bounce straight into record mode, with something...
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Aargh!
0:01:52 > 0:01:55Argh! Ooh, ah.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Oh, no. Ow!
0:01:57 > 0:01:59CRASH
0:01:59 > 0:02:02Welcome to Northampton for a brand-new world record attempt,
0:02:02 > 0:02:06involving synchronised trampolining.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10It's exactly how it sounds - two people on a trampoline
0:02:10 > 0:02:14at exactly the same time, doing exactly the same tricks.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Don't worry, they're much better than we are.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20Though, admittedly, that's not hard.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Meet top trampolinists Kat and Nathaniel.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27And when I say top,
0:02:27 > 0:02:32these two really have reached the dizzy heights of their sport.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Nathaniel has won bronze at the Junior World Championships.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40And as for Kat, well, she's Britain's number one trampolinist,
0:02:40 > 0:02:44a former world number one, and she's an Olympian,
0:02:44 > 0:02:47having represented Britain at the 2012 games.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50And today, they're hoping to add a World Record
0:02:50 > 0:02:52to their trampoline trophies.
0:02:52 > 0:02:55These are two highly trained athletes,
0:02:55 > 0:02:58so please, don't try any of their moves
0:02:58 > 0:03:00if you've got a trampoline at home.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Nathaniel, Kat, lovely to meet you.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04As someone who's mildly afraid of heights -
0:03:04 > 0:03:07and that's putting it lightly - you go really high, don't you?
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I mean, what kind of heights can you reach?
0:03:10 > 0:03:11They talk up to ten metres,
0:03:11 > 0:03:13two double-decker buses end on end, is kind of
0:03:13 > 0:03:16what the top of trampolining's doing, so it's fairly high.
0:03:16 > 0:03:19Do you ever sort of lose your nerve a little bit and think,
0:03:19 > 0:03:21"Ooh, crumbs, I'm really high"?
0:03:21 > 0:03:23It's tricky, cos if you do that when you're at that height,
0:03:23 > 0:03:25you'll, like, crumble and then you'll just fall.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- Really?- If you think about it too much you just lose concentration,
0:03:29 > 0:03:32you mess up the routine, you have to start again, pretty much,
0:03:32 > 0:03:34which is the hardest thing.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36Well, that sounds terrifying!
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Today, Kat and Nathaniel are going for...
0:03:43 > 0:03:44..for a team of two.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48What part of your body does it wreak the most havoc on?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Your back's going to be the bit that takes the most amount of it.- Really?
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Yeah, cos it's such a force that you're coming in,
0:03:53 > 0:03:55we experience more G-force at the bottom of the trampoline
0:03:55 > 0:03:58than Formula One drivers and rollercoasters and stuff do.
0:03:58 > 0:03:59That's a fact, right there.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02- Look at that! More than a Formula One driver?- Yeah.
0:04:02 > 0:04:04Wow! Rather them than me.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Here are the rules.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Warm-up bounces are allowed.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11The time begins when the pair start their first
0:04:11 > 0:04:13backward somersault with full twist.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16The time limit is 60 seconds
0:04:16 > 0:04:19and the target has been set at 22 or more
0:04:19 > 0:04:21synchronised backward somersaults with a twist,
0:04:21 > 0:04:23to set this new record.
0:04:23 > 0:04:27A gymnastics professional must confirm the total number
0:04:27 > 0:04:29of valid somersaults within each attempt.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32So we have Tracy, a qualified gymnastics judge
0:04:32 > 0:04:35and head of Team Great Britain, here to help count
0:04:35 > 0:04:38and make sure all of the moves are valid.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41And this lot are keeping a close eye on the attempt, as well.
0:04:41 > 0:04:42Best of luck.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45Right, let's get this record attempt under way.
0:04:45 > 0:04:4722 or more the target.
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Remember, their 60 seconds only starts
0:04:51 > 0:04:53when they do their first somersault.
0:04:53 > 0:04:54Just building some height.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56- HORN BLASTS - And they're off!
0:04:59 > 0:05:02Three somersaults, then they compose themselves again
0:05:02 > 0:05:04with a rest bounce, to prevent dizziness
0:05:04 > 0:05:06getting the better of them.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08They look perfectly in sync.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10Going well.
0:05:10 > 0:05:1230 seconds left!
0:05:12 > 0:05:15But Nathaniel's dangerously close to the front of the trampoline
0:05:15 > 0:05:19and he's hit the mat! That's the end of the attempt.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22So tricky! Even though they seemed in sync,
0:05:22 > 0:05:26Nathaniel drifted forward and landed on the crash mat.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29What happened then? You just sort of lost a bit of balance?
0:05:29 > 0:05:32Yeah, I just got a bit dizzy and technique went out the window.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Liz, how was that attempt?
0:05:33 > 0:05:36That was great. I mean, you still had 15 seconds left.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38I disqualified two, because they were a little bit too far
0:05:38 > 0:05:39out of synchronisation.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Yeah, so that would've been 12 with 15 seconds left.
0:05:41 > 0:05:43So pretty good going.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48So, only 12 valid somersaults in 45 seconds.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50That's not record pace.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52They need 22, remember.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Getting that all-important height and they're off!
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Their second attempt under way.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01This time, they've decided to go for five
0:06:01 > 0:06:05rather than three somersaults before each rest bounce. Good tactic!
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Ooh, but Nathaniel looks slightly ahead of Kat there.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Will those two count?
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Just look how technically difficult this is. The height,
0:06:19 > 0:06:24the backward somersault, the twist, and they have to be in perfect sync.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27So hard to get everything right.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31They've done loads so far, but will they all be valid?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Oh, Kat's taken her rest bounce early.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39That's thrown them out of sync and with ten seconds left,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41there's no chance of recovering.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43Attempt over.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45You can see Kat realise that Nathaniel is still
0:06:45 > 0:06:48in somersault mode while she's on the rest bounce.
0:06:48 > 0:06:52Such a shame, but have they done enough to break the record?
0:06:52 > 0:06:56The number of jumps that you did was actually 25.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00So, had they been in sync, we obviously would have had a record.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03I've spoken to Tracy and she believes that unfortunately
0:07:03 > 0:07:06six of them didn't count, which brings your total to 19.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- So close to the record.- Ooh!
0:07:08 > 0:07:11Kat and Nathaniel have decided to give it one more go.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15So while they catch their breath and prepare, here's Al and Haruka
0:07:15 > 0:07:18with a record from Italy, in something...
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Ow!
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Konnichiwa!- Hey, y'all!
0:07:27 > 0:07:29We're in Italy to see these three guys,
0:07:29 > 0:07:32who are almost as muscly as me.
0:07:32 > 0:07:34HARUKA GIGGLES
0:07:34 > 0:07:35I'll pretend I didn't hear that, Haruka.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39So, what unlikely world record are they about to attempt?
0:07:39 > 0:07:43Is it fastest time to carry a car 20 metres
0:07:43 > 0:07:44whilst strapped to the shoulders?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47Largest man to play Tiddlywinks?
0:07:47 > 0:07:51Or most muscular karaoke competition?
0:07:51 > 0:07:53And the answer is...
0:07:54 > 0:07:5820-metre car carry! This is going to be mind-blowing!
0:07:59 > 0:08:01Yeah. But first, let's have a look at the car.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04It's been specifically adapted to make it lighter,
0:08:04 > 0:08:07so no roof, seats or engine.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Well, you say lighter, Haruka,
0:08:09 > 0:08:12but it still weighs 397kg.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15That's like carrying a small horse!
0:08:15 > 0:08:18And how often have you carried a small horse, Al?
0:08:18 > 0:08:21But, yes, OK, that is heavy.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Up first is Latvia's Agris Kazelniks.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Is he stuck in traffic there?
0:08:26 > 0:08:28No, he's good to go.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Three, two, one, go!
0:08:30 > 0:08:35He's off! Burning rubber from the soles of his huge feet.
0:08:35 > 0:08:40Time stops as soon as the nose of the car crosses the line.
0:08:40 > 0:08:43He's done it! Incredible.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47Jarno Hams from the Netherlands is up next,
0:08:47 > 0:08:52- and he takes the strain. Ooh! - Three, two, one, go!
0:08:53 > 0:08:55And his journey begins!
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Mind-boggling power there,
0:08:57 > 0:08:59and some awesome facial expressions.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02I presume this is a low-emissions car.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04PFFFRRT Not any more! But, you know,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07when under pressure, release the pressure.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09It's the maxim by which I live.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Nice.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13And he's over the 20-metre line.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18Our third and final driver today is Zydrunas Savickas from Lithuania.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Brace yourselves for something special.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Just like Zydrunas has!
0:09:24 > 0:09:28Green light! The other two looking on and breathing hard.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30He's going like a race car!
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Actually, I think the car's travelling faster
0:09:32 > 0:09:34than it did when it had a working engine.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38And with one final push, he's over the line.
0:09:40 > 0:09:42Fantastic!
0:09:42 > 0:09:45But who was fastest and have they got a record?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Was it the big guy?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Or the massive guy?
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Or the really large chap?
0:09:55 > 0:09:56And it's Zydrunas
0:09:56 > 0:10:00with a time of 14.44 seconds.
0:10:00 > 0:10:01So fast!
0:10:01 > 0:10:05And to make it even more special, the world's smallest woman,
0:10:05 > 0:10:09India's Jyoti Amge, is giving him his Guinness World Records medal.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12That is so officially amazing!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Interestingly enough, Haruka,
0:10:14 > 0:10:18all three men are carrying a minibus home together.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Somehow I don't believe you, Al.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Anyway, time to return to Ben in the UK.
0:10:23 > 0:10:26Yes, welcome back to Northampton,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28where terrific trampolinists Kat and Nathaniel
0:10:28 > 0:10:31are attempting to get the Guinness World Records title for the...
0:10:36 > 0:10:39Tension is high. It's Kat and Nathaniel's final record attempt.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41- Guys, are you feeling confident? - BOTH: Yeah.
0:10:41 > 0:10:43Excellent! Are they going to do it this time?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45ALL: Yeah!
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Lovely stuff. Off you go, guys.
0:10:48 > 0:10:5122 somersaults the target.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Getting a good height to begin with
0:10:53 > 0:10:54and off they go, in perfect sync.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56STARTER HORN
0:11:00 > 0:11:03There are so many things to get right.
0:11:03 > 0:11:07They're using every ounce of energy they've got.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11They're sticking with the rest bounce after five somersaults.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12It's vital they get these right
0:11:12 > 0:11:15to prevent themselves getting too dizzy.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18They're timing was off in their earlier attempt,
0:11:18 > 0:11:19but that was lovely!
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Straight back into the identical flips.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24That's 15 in 30 seconds.
0:11:24 > 0:11:28They're on course to get 22 or more in the 60-second time limit,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30IF all the somersaults are valid.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33They're bouncing so high!
0:11:33 > 0:11:36Those backward twists must be making them really dizzy.
0:11:36 > 0:11:39Oh, no! Nathaniel's a bit far forward there.
0:11:39 > 0:11:4315 seconds left and they've slipped out of rhythm.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44Is there time to recover?
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Last few seconds.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51ALL: Three, two, one...
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Stop! Whoo!
0:11:53 > 0:11:56'These two are incredible!
0:11:56 > 0:11:58'What an effort!
0:11:58 > 0:12:01'But have they done enough valid somersaults to set the record?
0:12:01 > 0:12:04'Remember, they needed at least 22.'
0:12:04 > 0:12:07Today, with a disqualification of four,
0:12:07 > 0:12:09you have achieved...
0:12:12 > 0:12:1426! It's a new Guinness World Record!
0:12:14 > 0:12:15'Fantastic!'
0:12:15 > 0:12:17CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Well, look at that!
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Terrific tumbling from our trampolining twosome.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24That'll put a spring in their step!
0:12:24 > 0:12:26Officially amazing!
0:12:26 > 0:12:29'From two legends that appear as light as a feather
0:12:29 > 0:12:31'to some of the heaviest record breakers now.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34'That's right, it's karaoke time!'
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Ah, aah, aaah!
0:14:47 > 0:14:48Argh!
0:14:48 > 0:14:50Whoohoo!

0:15:16 > 0:15:19Today, we're honouring a bunch without whom,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Officially Amazing just wouldn't be able to take place.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23That's right, Ben.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26It's the award for the best record involving an animal.
0:15:26 > 0:15:30Yes, from sensational skateboarding goats

0:15:45 > 0:15:49but the greatest beast to return again and again to our screens
0:15:49 > 0:15:51is none other than man's best friend.
0:15:51 > 0:15:54But who will be the best of the beasts? The king of the creatures?
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- The mammal with the... - Get on with it!
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Absolutely. Right, here are the nominees.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06In Series One, we met this amazing mutt,
0:16:06 > 0:16:10who held the record for the longest wave ridden by a dog,
0:16:10 > 0:16:13surfing 107 metres!
0:16:13 > 0:16:16In the show, Abbie led her team of surfing dog dudes
0:16:16 > 0:16:19in a record attempt, to try and get 20 of them
0:16:19 > 0:16:21riding the same wave at the same time,
0:16:21 > 0:16:24for at least five seconds.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26Sadly, they didn't get the record.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29But they certainly got CA-NINE out of ten for effort.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32And Abbie is still Officially Amazing!
0:16:32 > 0:16:34And the next nominee is...
0:16:34 > 0:16:37It's Hacker T Dog for...
0:16:37 > 0:16:38What?!
0:16:38 > 0:16:40No, Al, it's...
0:16:43 > 0:16:45In Series Two, Al met Jumpy,
0:16:45 > 0:16:46who broke the record for
0:16:46 > 0:16:50fastest 100 metres on a skateboard by a dog.
0:16:50 > 0:16:54On his first attempt, the record to beat of 19.68 seconds
0:16:54 > 0:16:58looked too tricky for him and he went off course.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00Here's what happened on his next go.
0:17:00 > 0:17:03Go, go, go, go, go!
0:17:03 > 0:17:06It all has to be done under Jumpy's own steam.
0:17:08 > 0:17:09He's keeping a good line
0:17:09 > 0:17:11and the pace is fast.
0:17:11 > 0:17:16He's generating speed with his back legs and his balance is good.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18He needs to keep this up, though.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20The record he's chasing is a quick one
0:17:20 > 0:17:23and there is no room for error here.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26It's looking good, and he's completed the course.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Bow-wow, wow!
0:17:28 > 0:17:30With 19.65 seconds,
0:17:30 > 0:17:32he did it!
0:17:32 > 0:17:36And the final nominee for the Golden Shires Award is...
0:17:36 > 0:17:37Ladies and gentlemen,
0:17:37 > 0:17:39it's Hacker T Dog for...
0:17:39 > 0:17:42Al, stop interrupting, it's rude!
0:17:42 > 0:17:45And why on earth should Hacker be nominated?
0:17:45 > 0:17:46Go, Hacker!
0:17:47 > 0:17:49No, the final nominee is...
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Remember these pro pooches from Japan?
0:17:55 > 0:17:58In Series One, Haruka met Team Wan Wan -
0:17:58 > 0:17:59or Woof Woof in English -
0:17:59 > 0:18:02who attempted to break their own record for the most dogs
0:18:02 > 0:18:04skipping on the same rope.
0:18:04 > 0:18:07MUSIC: Good Feeling by Flo Rida
0:18:09 > 0:18:13Remember, they've all got to jump over the rope 12 times
0:18:13 > 0:18:15to break their record.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16Can they keep going?
0:18:16 > 0:18:18Look at that one going for it, on the end!
0:18:36 > 0:18:40With 14 dogs managing 16 skips over the rope,
0:18:40 > 0:18:41they broke their own record.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Wan Wan-derful!
0:18:43 > 0:18:45APPLAUSE
0:18:46 > 0:18:48Yes, it's a tough field out there, Sizzler -
0:18:48 > 0:18:50you could say, it's dog eat dog.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52- But the winner is... - OWL HOOTS
0:18:52 > 0:18:54Thank you. The winner is...
0:18:57 > 0:18:58Ha-ha-ha!
0:18:58 > 0:19:00GLASS SMASHES
0:19:00 > 0:19:01Hacker the Dog,
0:19:01 > 0:19:03inexplicably...
0:19:03 > 0:19:05Yes! I told you!
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Get yourself over to CBBC and give it to him.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10Ooh, he'll be delighted.
0:19:10 > 0:19:12Oh, do I have to accept that? It sounds horrific.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Yeah, course you do, Hacker. It's yours, you've won it.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18Oh, this is a bit tricky, but I can only apologise,
0:19:18 > 0:19:19my tank top-wearing chum,
0:19:19 > 0:19:22but I didn't actually break any records, did I?
0:19:22 > 0:19:24I just turned up and messed about.
0:19:24 > 0:19:26And while I was extremely entertaining
0:19:26 > 0:19:28and very successful long term,
0:19:28 > 0:19:31I wasn't record-breaking, was I?
0:19:31 > 0:19:33Right. Oh, this has got a bit embarrassing,
0:19:33 > 0:19:35cos I'm going to have to take that back now.
0:19:35 > 0:19:37Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hang on a minute, cocker.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40You can't just turn up and give a fellow an award,
0:19:40 > 0:19:42then take it back because you've not done your homework.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44You've given it to me and I'm keeping it!
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I've already cleared a space on me mantelpiece.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I've relegated me signed picture of Sue Barker to the lower echelons.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52I am the champion and you can't have it back!
0:19:52 > 0:19:55- Right, I'm going to have to take it back.- No, you won't!
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- Hacker, come on.- It's tarnished, you're not having it.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00'Hm, maybe I shouldn't have interfered.'
0:20:00 > 0:20:01Argh!
0:20:01 > 0:20:03'Moving on. It's...'
0:20:04 > 0:20:05Ssh!
0:20:06 > 0:20:08GENTLE APPLAUSE
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Uh, huh!
0:20:10 > 0:20:12Ya!
0:20:12 > 0:20:13- Uh-oh...- Oh...
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Oh.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18Yes, this is the nail-biting penultimate event
0:20:18 > 0:20:20for Sizzlin' Steve, Mr Cherry
0:20:20 > 0:20:23and US Ray, as they battle it out to win...
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Cherry is currently in the lead
0:20:31 > 0:20:33with four and a half points.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34Ray's just one behind
0:20:34 > 0:20:35on three and a half.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38And Steve is on two.
0:20:38 > 0:20:39Either Cherry or Ray
0:20:39 > 0:20:41could still be crowned champion
0:20:41 > 0:20:43of this magnificent melee.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46But the Sizzler, well, he can't win.
0:20:46 > 0:20:47But he's still playing for pride
0:20:47 > 0:20:50and really needs to win these final two events
0:20:50 > 0:20:51to make sure he isn't last.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55AND he really needs to stop doing that dance.
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Also, Ray and Cherry have gained Guinness World Records titles
0:20:58 > 0:21:00along the way.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02Without success so far this series,
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Steve is going to be doggedly determined today.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08But what IS the mystery record attempt
0:21:08 > 0:21:10that you can try at home?
0:21:10 > 0:21:12So, we've got,
0:21:12 > 0:21:13er, buckets
0:21:13 > 0:21:17with sponges and with water.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20This is not good.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21All right, let's find out.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24- OK.- Please, let us be washing something.
0:21:27 > 0:21:28Ah, man.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30'Oh, man!
0:21:30 > 0:21:33'Before we faced the sponges, Haruka, Ben and I took part
0:21:33 > 0:21:35'in a challenge to decide the order in which
0:21:35 > 0:21:39'our competitors would compete in this squelchy record attempt.'
0:21:39 > 0:21:41And this time the challenge was called...
0:21:42 > 0:21:45Yes, this one called for brilliant brain power.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48There were ten dice hidden underneath a lid on the table.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Once the lid was lifted, we had to add all the numbers facing up
0:21:52 > 0:21:54on the dice together, as fast as we could.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56Whoever was quickest, won.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Have a quick look. Can you do it?
0:22:01 > 0:22:03Well, the answer was 33.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06Did we get it right?
0:22:06 > 0:22:0733.
0:22:07 > 0:22:0833.
0:22:08 > 0:22:1032.
0:22:10 > 0:22:11Unlucky, Haruka!
0:22:11 > 0:22:13See, Cherry knows.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14But who was quickest?
0:22:14 > 0:22:16Yes, it was me!
0:22:16 > 0:22:18With a time of 11 seconds,
0:22:18 > 0:22:21compared to Al's leisurely 14, I won.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24So, Steve chose to go last in the record attempt
0:22:24 > 0:22:27and hopefully pick up some tips from watching Cherry and Ray's
0:22:27 > 0:22:30sponge-throwing technique.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33OK, I suppose we should check out the rules for
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Most Wet Sponges Thrown In 30 Seconds.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Thrower and receiver must be three metres apart,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42with lines on the ground to mark the distance.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46And each sponge must be fully immersed in water before throwing.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48Great!
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Only sponges which hit the target fully in the face will be counted.
0:22:52 > 0:22:53Perfect!
0:22:53 > 0:22:56If either participant steps over the three-metre marker line,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58the attempt is stopped.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01But valid throws up until that point still count.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03And the target for this new record
0:23:03 > 0:23:05is 18 or more sponges
0:23:05 > 0:23:07thrown in the face.
0:23:07 > 0:23:09Since Haruka lost the dice-count challenge,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11she and Cherry are going first.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Haruka's wearing a mac for protection,
0:23:14 > 0:23:15but Cherry won't let that stop him.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- GONG BELLOWS - I'm ready!
0:23:17 > 0:23:19- Japan!- Hi!
0:23:19 > 0:23:21And they're off!
0:23:21 > 0:23:22But so is Cherry's aim!
0:23:22 > 0:23:25He's not got one in Haruka's face yet!
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Haruka's doing her best,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29but she's not eight feet tall, Cherry!
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Oh, but there's one!
0:23:33 > 0:23:35A fine, firm face-sploshing there!
0:23:35 > 0:23:38And another! And a third!
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Go, Cherry!
0:23:40 > 0:23:42He's favouring speed over accuracy.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45He's going so fast, even our cameraman can't keep up!
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Go on!
0:23:47 > 0:23:50- HARUKA YELPS - Get her!
0:23:50 > 0:23:53'Ooh, now he's run out of sponges.'
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Ahh! Ah, sponges!
0:23:55 > 0:23:57'Time for one more.'
0:24:00 > 0:24:01'Poor Haruka!'
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Stop!
0:24:06 > 0:24:08- APPLAUSE - Never mind poor me.
0:24:10 > 0:24:14We'll find out just how well we did after you've both had a soaking.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17- 'Team USA is up next.' - OK, three, two, one, go!
0:24:17 > 0:24:1918, the target.
0:24:19 > 0:24:20And Ray's straight in with a hit!
0:24:20 > 0:24:22And another!
0:24:22 > 0:24:23Three hits!
0:24:24 > 0:24:26Don't cover your face, Al,
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Ray's got to hit it!
0:24:28 > 0:24:31Either Ray's aim is brilliant or, more likely,
0:24:31 > 0:24:32Al's got a big head.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34DRAMATIC MUSIC
0:24:37 > 0:24:39AL ROARS
0:24:41 > 0:24:43- Go, go, go! - LAUGHTER
0:24:43 > 0:24:45You can't even see!
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Come on, open those eyes!
0:24:47 > 0:24:49'A very good attempt. Well done, boys.'
0:24:49 > 0:24:51USA! USA!
0:24:51 > 0:24:53'Yeah, all right, Al, calm down!
0:24:53 > 0:24:57'Although your salmon-like leaping was pretty impressive.
0:24:57 > 0:25:02'But now it's time for the Team Sizzle Shires sponge spectacular.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05'Talking of which, I've had to take my spectaculars off.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08'18, the target. Not a problem!'
0:25:08 > 0:25:09Team UK, are you ready?
0:25:09 > 0:25:11- Yes!- Three, two,
0:25:11 > 0:25:14one, go!
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Straight in with a sponge splat for Shires.
0:25:16 > 0:25:18Mind the quiff!
0:25:18 > 0:25:23Still, my superbly long face is giving Steve a terrific target.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Sizzler's smashing through the sponges
0:25:25 > 0:25:28and I'm doing some remarkable nutting.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38This is super-speedy sponge soaking.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41The special sponge collectors are struggling to keep up.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49KLAXON But Ben stepped over the line.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Ha! Game over!
0:25:52 > 0:25:54He had eight seconds left,
0:25:54 > 0:25:56but that's ended their attempt.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Steve's throws up until that point will still count,
0:25:59 > 0:26:02but has Ben blown it for the Sizzler?
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Stepped over the line. I was doing so well.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- You were doing good.- Oh!
0:26:06 > 0:26:09We all secretly enjoyed the secret record.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11We're wet and we're thrilled,
0:26:11 > 0:26:13and, Anna, did we get a new world record?
0:26:13 > 0:26:15It was really close, but no new world record today.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17ALL: Oh!
0:26:17 > 0:26:19- What was the result?- Right, in third place, with 14,
0:26:19 > 0:26:21- we have Team Japan. - BOTH: Oh!
0:26:21 > 0:26:23'Calamity for Cherry.
0:26:23 > 0:26:27'Is Team USA about to bag a point and draw level with Japan?'
0:26:28 > 0:26:30In second place, with 15,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32we have Team USA.
0:26:32 > 0:26:33'Phew!'
0:26:33 > 0:26:35And in first place we have Team UK, with 16.
0:26:35 > 0:26:38- CHEERING - 'Get in there!
0:26:38 > 0:26:40'Even though I stepped over the line,
0:26:40 > 0:26:43'we still won and were only two short of the record.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46'Let's see how that affects the master scoreboard.'
0:26:46 > 0:26:50Well, after that sensational sponge skills special,
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Steve has pulled back
0:26:52 > 0:26:54that all-important point.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56Cherry remains on four and a half,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58and Ray's just behind
0:26:58 > 0:26:59on three and a half.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02What will happen in our ferocious series finale?
0:27:02 > 0:27:04Might Cherry be crowned champion
0:27:04 > 0:27:06for the second series in a row?
0:27:06 > 0:27:08It's all terribly exciting!
0:27:08 > 0:27:10But that's all for today.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Join us again for more Officially Amazing World Records
0:27:13 > 0:27:16and world record attempts, like these...
0:27:16 > 0:27:19# Well, incredible scenes on those trampolines
0:27:19 > 0:27:22# With a record that was synchronised
0:27:22 > 0:27:24# Nathaniel and Kat, well, how about that?
0:27:24 > 0:27:26# They broke it on their final try
0:27:26 > 0:27:31# Team UK won the race to get most sponges in the face
0:27:31 > 0:27:34# Zydrunas was the best at the ultimate driving test
0:27:34 > 0:27:39# And Hacker grudgingly won the Golden Shires
0:27:39 > 0:27:44# It's all officially amazing! #
