0:00:24 > 0:00:25Heh-heh-heh!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31Yeah, pretty good, if a little basic.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34I'd have probably thrown in an extra flip, but there you go.
0:00:34 > 0:00:37Welcome to Officially Amazing, the show that delivers
0:00:37 > 0:00:41only the best records and record attempts from across the globe.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Again, fairly good, but I'd have smiled. That's just me.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50Anyway, today we're witnessing a rather special
0:00:50 > 0:00:53and unique flipping record attempt.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56It's not one that involves me directly, but that doesn't mean that
0:00:56 > 0:00:58I don't have the skills.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Yeah, come on, Shires, don't shame the leotard!
0:01:10 > 0:01:11CLUNK!
0:01:11 > 0:01:13PARP!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Some teething problems, but it's getting there.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23Anyway, while I go change my shorts,
0:01:23 > 0:01:25why don't you check out what's coming up
0:01:25 > 0:01:26on the rest of today's show?
0:01:26 > 0:01:27PARRRP!
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Yes, you don't want to miss these awe-inspiring Guinness World Records
0:01:31 > 0:01:33title attempts, including...
0:01:34 > 0:01:36Somebody stop this woman!
0:01:36 > 0:01:38She's setting a load of doors on fire.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42But fret ye not, it's for good record-breaking reason.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45In America,
0:01:45 > 0:01:49cowboy Will Roberts is going to attempt two Wild Western records.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52But will it be yee-haw or rode-oh-no?
0:01:54 > 0:01:58The Sizzler, US Ray and Mr Cherry really don't seem to like balloons
0:01:58 > 0:02:02and you can see who likes them the least and pops them quickest
0:02:02 > 0:02:04in today's Officially Competitive.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07First, it's over to Al in America.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13Uh-oh!
0:02:13 > 0:02:14Argh!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16Heh-heh-heh!
0:02:16 > 0:02:19BIRDS CAW
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- AMERICAN ACCENT:- In the Wild West of America,
0:02:21 > 0:02:24where the harsh sun stings your eyes
0:02:24 > 0:02:27like when you accidentally get soap and conditioner in them
0:02:27 > 0:02:29when you're washin' your hair...
0:02:29 > 0:02:31- NORMAL VOICE:- Oh, come on, Al, go with it.
0:02:32 > 0:02:33'I'd be careful, Ben.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36'Folks don't take kindly to your jokes around these parts.'
0:02:36 > 0:02:37BULLET PINGS
0:02:37 > 0:02:40- HARUKA:- Yeah, it's not just round those parts, Al.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Um, can we focus on the real bandit round here, thank you?
0:02:43 > 0:02:46Let me just get back into character. Ahem!
0:02:47 > 0:02:50- AMERICAN ACCENT:- We've rounded up a rootin' tootin', rope-swingin',
0:02:50 > 0:02:54gunslingin' bandit and he's got breakin' records in his sights.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56BIRD CAWS
0:02:56 > 0:02:58- NORMAL VOICE:- Can someone shut that crow up?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00They've got some cliched cowboy staring to do.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02BOING!
0:03:02 > 0:03:05Um, I'm not quite sure you've got it, Al.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07Howdy, partner!
0:03:07 > 0:03:10I heard you got some officially amazing skills.
0:03:23 > 0:03:24'Ah, boy!'
0:03:25 > 0:03:29OK, he is good, and that's because he's Will Roberts,
0:03:29 > 0:03:33one of the most highly skilled and trained cowboys in the West.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35Just look at the moves!
0:03:35 > 0:03:39Later on, Will's going to be trying a record with these specially adapted
0:03:39 > 0:03:41safe performance guns.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43But first, he's going for a record involving rope.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49This type of rope is called a lasso.
0:03:49 > 0:03:53And it was originally designed to help the cowboys catch and move cows,
0:03:53 > 0:03:56hence where the cowboys get their name.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Mind the camera, Will!
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Honestly, the things I get roped into on this show!
0:04:02 > 0:04:05Will, here we are. Tell me a bit about, you have a rope in your hand,
0:04:05 > 0:04:08- what's this record attempt about? - So, it's called the Texas Skip.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12It's basically about a 25-foot rope that I'm going to take
0:04:12 > 0:04:15and spin out, get it vertical
0:04:15 > 0:04:17and then jump through it.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20This is going to spin. Now, you've got to move back a little bit.
0:04:20 > 0:04:21There. That's it.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24But this is it and I have to do as many as I can.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27The record Will is attempting today is for the...
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Out here in the Wild West,
0:04:32 > 0:04:33the temperature is hot.
0:04:33 > 0:04:36It's high noon and 43 degrees.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40That's hotter than it's ever been in the UK. Phew!
0:04:40 > 0:04:43Urgh, gross!
0:04:43 > 0:04:44'That's water, Ben.'
0:04:44 > 0:04:47While Will loosens up his lasso,
0:04:47 > 0:04:50let's check out those rooting-tooting rules.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53With each pass, Will must jump through the centre of the loop.
0:04:53 > 0:04:57Each skip must be taken on a turn and a half of the rope.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00That means he needs to twirl the rope 360 degrees...
0:05:01 > 0:05:04..and then a further 180 before stepping through.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07And he needs a minimum
0:05:07 > 0:05:09of 45 skips to set the record.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Will, are you ready to rope your way into cowboy history?
0:05:14 > 0:05:18- I am going to try. I'm telling you, it's so hot out here.- All right.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Three, two, one...
0:05:23 > 0:05:24Begin.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28He's off to a smoking start.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33- Oh!- But oh, no!
0:05:33 > 0:05:34He's barely begun before
0:05:34 > 0:05:36his boot snagged the lasso.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38That was a ropey first attempt.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42But this cowboy won't let that or this heat hold him back.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47While Will cools himself off and gets ready to go again,
0:05:47 > 0:05:50let's hop over to Ben back in the UK.
0:05:53 > 0:05:54SHE SIGHS
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Argh! Ow!
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Meet Thore, Luai and Lasse,
0:06:00 > 0:06:02three of Germany's
0:06:02 > 0:06:04most talented young gymnasts.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07These guys can do anything on this gym apparatus
0:06:07 > 0:06:11and so it comes as little surprise that today they're going to attempt
0:06:11 > 0:06:15to set an incredible new Guinness World Records' title for...
0:06:21 > 0:06:22It might sound like
0:06:22 > 0:06:24it's just drinking some water,
0:06:24 > 0:06:25but it's far from it.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27Check this out!
0:06:29 > 0:06:33This is a ridiculously difficult and unique record attempt.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37These are expert gymnasts, working in a controlled environment,
0:06:37 > 0:06:40so please do not try this at home.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44The guys have to get exactly the right pace
0:06:44 > 0:06:46to flip precisely the right height
0:06:46 > 0:06:50and get the perfect angle over the glass to suck up some liquid,
0:06:50 > 0:06:53all in a split second as they fly over the top.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58They then have to run all the way back and join the line
0:06:58 > 0:06:59to do it again.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04Which point during the whole manoeuvre is the point
0:07:04 > 0:07:05at which it could all go wrong?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09When you're not, er, deep enough in the glass with the straw.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Oh, right. - So, you have to be very deep,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14so you get the water.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17And what about speed? Do you have to get up to a certain pace
0:07:17 > 0:07:19in order to make the jump work?
0:07:19 > 0:07:22Yeah, that's difficult because you have to be fast enough
0:07:22 > 0:07:25so you can jump very good and, er, you are high enough,
0:07:25 > 0:07:28because when you go too slowly, you don't get high enough.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30Wow! But if you go too fast,
0:07:30 > 0:07:33- you'll be...- Yeah, you are too high and you'll not come into the water.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36- Wow, so that's a difficult calculation to make.- Yeah.
0:07:36 > 0:07:39It looks STRAWFULLY tricky! Let's check out the rules.
0:07:39 > 0:07:43They can't use their hands at all during the flip.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46Spill any water from the container and the attempt is over.
0:07:46 > 0:07:47The guys have a two-minute limit
0:07:47 > 0:07:49to complete their attempt
0:07:49 > 0:07:53and they need to remove a minimum of 50ml from the container
0:07:53 > 0:07:54to set a new record.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Are we ready to see a record broken?
0:07:56 > 0:07:58ALL: Yes!
0:07:58 > 0:08:01Course we are. Guys, off you go. Best of luck.
0:08:01 > 0:08:07In case you're worried, that is water. 384ml of it, to be precise.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10But it's been coloured blue to look all pretty on your telly.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13In three, two, one...
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Go!
0:08:14 > 0:08:16'Thore is up first.'
0:08:17 > 0:08:19Ooh, it's a good start.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20'A good withdrawal of water there
0:08:20 > 0:08:23'and then it's back to the start to go again.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25'Lasse up next, and oh, no!'
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- HORN BLOWS - Ooh!
0:08:29 > 0:08:30'Lasse spilt wasser
0:08:30 > 0:08:32'and so the attempt is void.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37'But these German gymnasts want another go. One more shot.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39'Can they spin things around?'
0:08:39 > 0:08:42OK, here they go. Best of luck, fellas.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44In three, two, one...
0:08:44 > 0:08:45Go!
0:08:45 > 0:08:48'Come on, guys, you can do it!
0:08:48 > 0:08:51'Great stuff! Loads sucked up there.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54'Luai a bit too fast there, he just couldn't get the angle.'
0:09:00 > 0:09:01Yes! Definitely there.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07'Ooh, they'll need to get a lot closer than that.'
0:09:08 > 0:09:11- Yes!- One minute. - Excellent! One minute to go.
0:09:11 > 0:09:15'Remember, the guys only need to remove 50ml of water.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17'That's a swig's worth from a can of pop
0:09:17 > 0:09:20'and a measure of just how difficult this is.'
0:09:20 > 0:09:2130 seconds left.
0:09:21 > 0:09:2230 seconds, come on!
0:09:24 > 0:09:25Oh!
0:09:26 > 0:09:28- Yes!- 15 seconds.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30'That's more like it! Well done, Luai.'
0:09:31 > 0:09:33Oh, come on!
0:09:34 > 0:09:36Ooh, so close.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Five, four...
0:09:37 > 0:09:38Yes!
0:09:38 > 0:09:40- ...three, two, one. - It's the last straw!
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- Stop!- Oh, excellent work, guys!
0:09:43 > 0:09:47'Well, they didn't spill any this time, so official adjudicator Liz
0:09:47 > 0:09:50'is happy, but it's a nervous wait while she measures.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54'Have the boys removed more than the target of 50ml?'
0:09:54 > 0:09:55Liz, let us know.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Well, it was a really great attempt
0:09:57 > 0:09:59and I can tell you that today you removed...
0:10:02 > 0:10:07- ..116ml! It's a new Guinness World Record!- Look at that!
0:10:07 > 0:10:09'They've got more than double the target,
0:10:09 > 0:10:12'a sensational straw-sucking success
0:10:12 > 0:10:16'that confirms Luai, Thore and Lasse are officially amazing.'
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Now, without further ado,
0:10:20 > 0:10:22let's vault back to Al in America for something...
0:10:25 > 0:10:26Argh!
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Part two.
0:10:28 > 0:10:29Ah! Ohhh...
0:10:29 > 0:10:31Argh!
0:10:31 > 0:10:32Heh-heh-heh!
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Welcome back to the hot, hot heat of California.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Earlier, we met cowboy Will Roberts, who's trying to break a world record
0:10:41 > 0:10:44for the most Texas Skips in 30 seconds.
0:10:44 > 0:10:46- During his first attempt...- Oh!
0:10:46 > 0:10:49..the strength-sapping heat and the little catching of his boot
0:10:49 > 0:10:51meant that the record was over
0:10:51 > 0:10:53almost as soon as it had begun.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56But Will is determined to go again.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59Remember, he needs 45 skips to set the record.
0:10:59 > 0:11:01As you can see, it's very difficult.
0:11:01 > 0:11:04He's getting his breath and he's ready to go again.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Three, two, one, begin!
0:11:09 > 0:11:11'Yee-haw! Look at Will go!
0:11:11 > 0:11:15'It's so hot! He must feel like he's jumping through a ring of fire!
0:11:17 > 0:11:20'The scorching sun makes this very physically challenging.
0:11:20 > 0:11:23'But can Will take the heat and take home a new world record?
0:11:25 > 0:11:29'The average summer temperature in the UK is 19 degrees.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32'It's more than twice as hot here.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35'But despite the sweltering climate, Will's not giving up.'
0:11:38 > 0:11:41- Stop!- All right.
0:11:41 > 0:11:45'Well done, Will. That was really hot stuff.'
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Take a second, catch your breath.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51We have some water on the way for you. Have some water. All right.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55Will's lasted the full 30 seconds doing those sizzling skips,
0:11:55 > 0:11:57but did he do enough to get the record?
0:12:00 > 0:12:03So, as you know, the minimum requirement for
0:12:03 > 0:12:05this category was set at 45 skips.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07With that attempt, you achieved a total...
0:12:10 > 0:12:12..of 40 skips!
0:12:12 > 0:12:13Oh!
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Oh-ho! Sometimes it's worse to get that close.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21So, Will narrowly missed out on the record by just five skips,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23a truly great effort.
0:12:23 > 0:12:28But the heat has proven too much for Will, so he won't be trying again.
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Just seems like it's just too hot out here.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32It's hot, but I had to try, you know.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36He's not done yet - Will has another cowboy skill ready to go.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38He's determined to break a record,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40by spinning these specialised performance pistols.
0:12:40 > 0:12:44So, let's get inside, out of the heat, and find out exactly
0:12:44 > 0:12:46what the record is.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48The gun spin that I'm going to do for the record
0:12:48 > 0:12:50looks like this - single action,
0:12:50 > 0:12:52you're going to basically take the gun
0:12:52 > 0:12:55and you're going to put it back in like this.
0:12:55 > 0:12:57This movement is what cowboys call unholstering.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02And this one is called holstering.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04Will is going to be attempting the record for the...
0:13:07 > 0:13:09So, are you ready to do this record?
0:13:09 > 0:13:12- You mean break the record? - Break the record, that's right,
0:13:12 > 0:13:15'Yeah! Let's do this! Let's break a record, let's...
0:13:15 > 0:13:18'Urgh! Not get hit by the door!
0:13:18 > 0:13:22'While I go recover, why don't you guys go check out the rules?'
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Will must remove the gun from the holster completely,
0:13:26 > 0:13:29spin it for at least 360 degrees
0:13:29 > 0:13:32and place it back in the holster for it to count.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34He must remove his hand from the gun after each spin,
0:13:34 > 0:13:37to show that it stays in the holster unaided.
0:13:37 > 0:13:41And he needs at least 30 repetitions to set a new record.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46Guns are lethal weapons and not toys,
0:13:46 > 0:13:50which is why Will is using specially adapted pieces of kit
0:13:50 > 0:13:51made for spinning.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54'We're all rooting for you, Will.'
0:13:54 > 0:13:56Three, two, one...
0:13:56 > 0:13:57Go!
0:13:57 > 0:14:00'He's off and he's on a roll -
0:14:00 > 0:14:01'or a spin in this case!
0:14:01 > 0:14:05'Although these are performance guns, they are extremely heavy.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08'Each one is like spinning a litre of water.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11'Oh, he's dropped it!'
0:14:11 > 0:14:14Oh, man! The gun falls apart.
0:14:14 > 0:14:17'These aren't the rugged real guns you'll find in the Wild, Wild West.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19'He was a little too gung-ho there.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22'But he does have one more performance pistol.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27'If that breaks, it's all over. This really is his last chance saloon.'
0:14:27 > 0:14:28Three, two, one, begin!
0:14:30 > 0:14:34'It's a strong start, but can this cowboy keep his cool
0:14:34 > 0:14:35'in the desert heat?
0:14:37 > 0:14:42'He has to hit the spin exactly right each time or he might drop it again.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44'Look at the pain etched on his face.'
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- I'm in pain. - Fight through it, you got it!
0:14:47 > 0:14:50'The repetitive action he is doing is really making his arm ache.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54'Remember, he's got to do more than 30, but can he keep it going?
0:14:56 > 0:14:58You got about three seconds left.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Bring it home.
0:15:00 > 0:15:01'Come on, cowboy!'
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- So excellent! All right!- Whoo!
0:15:06 > 0:15:08'That was officially fast
0:15:08 > 0:15:11'and Will's arm has officially turned to jelly.'
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- Yeah, ask me to wave. - All right, let me see you wave.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14That's all you got left!
0:15:14 > 0:15:17'Hopefully, he hasn't just waved goodbye to the world record.'
0:15:17 > 0:15:19Ben, how did he do?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21So, as you know, the minimum requirement for this category
0:15:21 > 0:15:23- was set at 30 repetitions.- Yeah.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25With that attempt, you achieved a total...
0:15:28 > 0:15:29..of 44 repetitions.
0:15:29 > 0:15:33- Are you serious?!- That's a brand-new Guinness World Records title.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- Congrats!- Yee-haw!
0:15:35 > 0:15:37'44! It's a new world record.
0:15:37 > 0:15:40- Congratulations. - 'Will is officially amazing
0:15:40 > 0:15:42'and I'm officially line dancing in celebration.'
0:15:44 > 0:15:48Words escape me, Al. I never knew you were such a mover,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50and until now, I never knew
0:15:50 > 0:15:54there was a great song about other records I never knew about. Enjoy!
0:15:54 > 0:15:56- Hey, Billy.- Yeah?
0:15:56 > 0:15:58You heard about all these crazy records?
0:15:58 > 0:15:59No, I never knew.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02Well, I'll tell ya. Here we go!
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- # Well, I never knew - Yee-haw!

0:16:26 > 0:16:30# He made a belch that lasted a minute and 13 seconds long
0:16:30 > 0:16:33# Well, I hope his breath didn't give off an awful pong
0:16:33 > 0:16:36# I never even knew you could move maggots with your mouth
0:16:36 > 0:16:40# But Charlie Bell, he did it well, he never had a doubt

0:16:43 > 0:16:46# He's got maggoting mouthy moving superpowers

0:17:07 > 0:17:09- # Yeah! - But did you know there's a record
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- # For most snails on the face?- No.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14# For ten seconds, Mike Dalton had a slimy wait
0:17:14 > 0:17:17# How many snails were there? Heck, 48! #
0:17:17 > 0:17:1848! That's a lot!

0:17:57 > 0:18:00Eh...
0:18:00 > 0:18:01Oh!
0:18:01 > 0:18:04G'day and welcome to Australia, where this presenter
0:18:04 > 0:18:07has walked through a door completely unnecessarily,
0:18:07 > 0:18:10and the lady he's here to meet isn't impressed.
0:18:10 > 0:18:11Before we meet her properly,
0:18:11 > 0:18:15what record do you think she'll be attempting? Is it the record for...
0:18:15 > 0:18:18most doors? Most doors on fire?
0:18:19 > 0:18:23Or the quickest time to run through burning locked doors?
0:18:23 > 0:18:26Well, it's the quickest time to run through burning locked doors.
0:18:26 > 0:18:28Obviously.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31German stuntwoman Sandra Kier set the record at 23 seconds
0:18:31 > 0:18:35a couple of years ago, so that's the target for today.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37And who's going to try and beat it?
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Step up, roller derby jammer, Vanessa Mayer.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43As a jammer in roller derby, it's my job to break through that pack
0:18:43 > 0:18:46and get up each time I get knocked down,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49which prepares me for this world record of slamming down those doors.
0:18:49 > 0:18:51Wow, she's a little scary!
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Let's light it up!
0:18:53 > 0:18:58Ten doors all on fire and locked, like a postman's worst nightmare!
0:18:58 > 0:19:01Plus, they haven't got any letterboxes.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04Can Vanessa deliver or will her dreams go up in flames?
0:19:06 > 0:19:09She's ready to go, sensibly wearing a lot of safety gear.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Can she stand the heat?
0:19:11 > 0:19:1223 seconds to beat.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17And she's off. First two doors, bang!
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- Knock, knock. - AL AND BEN: Who's there?
0:19:19 > 0:19:22Nobody, I've burst through your door already!
0:19:22 > 0:19:25She's just like Al running to get his morning doughnut.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Hey!
0:19:27 > 0:19:29Nothing can stop her.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Oh, apart from door nine.
0:19:32 > 0:19:33She's still got time.
0:19:35 > 0:19:36Ten, and done!
0:19:36 > 0:19:40But let's find out officially if Vanessa Mayer was on fire.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Nearly worked!
0:19:42 > 0:19:4323 seconds to beat, remember.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46You've just stripped five and a half seconds off.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47THEY SCREAM AND CHEER
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Ooh, I think they are pleased.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53- 17.32 seconds.- Here you go.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55So, opportunity knocked for Vanessa
0:19:55 > 0:19:59and she kicked the door in, making her flaming well officially amazing.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Thanks, Haruka. Now, the return of our record-breaking heroes in...
0:20:03 > 0:20:05LOUD VOICE: Officially...
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Ssh! Competitive.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Uh-oh!
0:20:15 > 0:20:19Here on Officially Amazing, we believe in the rule of three,
0:20:19 > 0:20:23and these three certainly rule when it comes to world record breaking -
0:20:23 > 0:20:29Cherry, US Ray and our very own Sizzling Steve are here in the UK,
0:20:29 > 0:20:32battling it out to break some new world records
0:20:32 > 0:20:34that you can try at home.
0:20:34 > 0:20:35Three events in
0:20:35 > 0:20:37and Mr Cherry's on one point,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39Sizzling Steve's on two
0:20:39 > 0:20:41and US Ray is on zero.
0:20:41 > 0:20:42This is intense.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44This is exciting.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47This is Officially Competitive!
0:20:47 > 0:20:49..er.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55Today, our competitors have no idea what the record is
0:20:55 > 0:20:57that they're going to be attempting.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59You might have spotted a clue at the top of the show,
0:20:59 > 0:21:01but for them, it's a puzzle.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04And speaking of puzzles, as usual,
0:21:04 > 0:21:07earlier on, Haruka, Al and I took part in a challenge
0:21:07 > 0:21:10to decide the order in which Ray, Cherry and Sizzler would compete
0:21:10 > 0:21:12in the mystery record attempt.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15Whoever completed the puzzle fastest won.
0:21:15 > 0:21:16Haruka was slow.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17I was faster.
0:21:17 > 0:21:19But somehow, Al was fastest.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21'Yeah!'
0:21:21 > 0:21:22- And I'm done.- Anyway,
0:21:22 > 0:21:24as a result, Ray chose to go last,
0:21:24 > 0:21:28to learn from Cherry and then Steve's attempts. Wise choice,
0:21:28 > 0:21:31as they still have no idea what record they'll be attempting,
0:21:31 > 0:21:35which also means that our usual pre-match chats are about
0:21:35 > 0:21:38their general competitive thoughts and preparation.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41What does the Sizzling Steve package entail?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Well, it entails bacon.
0:21:44 > 0:21:45Yeah.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47- A lot of practising.- Yeah.
0:21:47 > 0:21:48And...
0:21:49 > 0:21:52..just great skill.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- Yeah?- And eloquence.- Hmm.
0:21:54 > 0:21:59AL: So, somehow, Steve is relying on sizzling bacon. I have no words.
0:21:59 > 0:22:01Argh!
0:22:01 > 0:22:03But what is US Ray thinking?
0:22:03 > 0:22:06What kind of ways have you trained to get ready for this year?
0:22:06 > 0:22:09A lot of push-ups, a lot of chopstick using,
0:22:09 > 0:22:13a lot of whoopee cushions, a lot of just everyday things,
0:22:13 > 0:22:14just making sure I'm better,
0:22:14 > 0:22:17cos you never know what to expect on Officially Amazing.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20That's right, and the fact that whoopee cushions and chopsticks
0:22:20 > 0:22:23are everyday things to you, tells you you live a great life.
0:22:23 > 0:22:24Exactly.
0:22:24 > 0:22:28- HARUKA:- Meanwhile, for Mr Cherry, it's all about the fans.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Do you have any message to your UK fans?
0:22:31 > 0:22:33OK!
0:22:34 > 0:22:36HE SPEAKS IN JAPANESE
0:22:36 > 0:22:39VOICE-OVER: 'OK, everyone, my name is Cherry Yoshitake.
0:22:39 > 0:22:44'If you guys from the UK cheer me on, I will motivate meself even more.'
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Thank you cherry much!
0:22:47 > 0:22:48'Thank you cherry much.'
0:22:48 > 0:22:53No, thank YOU cherry much! Right, the wait is over.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57It's time to finally reveal what today's record attempt is.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00What we're about to do is the record for the...
0:23:03 > 0:23:04THEY CHEER
0:23:04 > 0:23:06Yes!
0:23:06 > 0:23:08Well, Cherry wants to know how we need to break it
0:23:08 > 0:23:09because, as you know...
0:23:09 > 0:23:11- Yeah.- Boom, boom!
0:23:11 > 0:23:14Yeah, a man with a specific set of talents.
0:23:14 > 0:23:18Well, Mr Cherry will be pleased to learn that he can use his bum,
0:23:18 > 0:23:20but he's not obliged to.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23The 20 balloons can be burst using any part of the body,
0:23:23 > 0:23:28but no additional objects, such as pins or hedgehogs, can be used.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30The quickest time to burst them all wins
0:23:30 > 0:23:33and they have to do that in under eight seconds to set the record.
0:23:33 > 0:23:36If you're going to give this a go at home,
0:23:36 > 0:23:38it's recommended you tie the balloons together
0:23:38 > 0:23:40and even attach them to the floor,
0:23:40 > 0:23:42else it'll make it an even trickier challenge
0:23:42 > 0:23:44when they go flying off in every direction.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47We've got the rules and we've blown up the balloons.
0:23:47 > 0:23:51As Haruka completed her puzzle the slowest,
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Cherry's up first.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Good luck, Mr Cherry. Are you ready?
0:23:55 > 0:23:57- OK?- OK, pop!
0:23:57 > 0:23:59Three, two, one, go!
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Go on, Cherry! Whoo! Come on!
0:24:02 > 0:24:04'From his crouched starting position,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07'Cherry launches himself headfirst into the balloons.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09'He's out to show them who's boss.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12'Making good progress now.'
0:24:12 > 0:24:14'Look at Ray, taking it all in,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17'working out his game plan. Attaboy!'
0:24:20 > 0:24:23'Cherry's back in control now. Just three to go.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27'Did he bite that one?'
0:24:28 > 0:24:30- Yeah!- That's it!
0:24:30 > 0:24:34Pop, pop, pop! Pop, pop, pop! Pop! On the cheek!
0:24:34 > 0:24:37'Who needs balloons when you can make the noises yourself?
0:24:37 > 0:24:39'We won't find out how Cherry did
0:24:39 > 0:24:42'until Sizzler and Ray have had their turns.'
0:24:42 > 0:24:45- Can I have your glasses, please? - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48Right, Steve, I will count you in.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50Three, two, one, go.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55'Steve's straight in with a bout of indiscriminate stamping.'
0:24:55 > 0:24:59MUSIC: Colonel Bogey's March
0:24:59 > 0:25:02'And the reverse bottom park manoeuvre,
0:25:02 > 0:25:03'a tip from Cherry, perhaps.
0:25:06 > 0:25:10'Ooh! And a flurry of doggy paddle destruction right at the end there.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12'Has he done enough to get another point
0:25:12 > 0:25:14'and potentially even a record?'
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Yeah! Unorthodox, but beautiful.
0:25:22 > 0:25:25Let's see what US Ray has got to say about that.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27He's watched them go, picked up some tips,
0:25:27 > 0:25:30and, as he's the only one without a world record this series,
0:25:30 > 0:25:34'he wants this bad - under eight seconds the target.'
0:25:34 > 0:25:37Three, two, one, begin!
0:25:37 > 0:25:39'Drops to the floor, rolls!
0:25:40 > 0:25:41'Oh, my!'
0:25:41 > 0:25:43THEY CHEER
0:25:44 > 0:25:45'No-one was expecting that.'
0:25:45 > 0:25:46All right!
0:25:46 > 0:25:49'Let's see that again!
0:25:49 > 0:25:52'Takes one out with his knee there almost instantly.'
0:25:53 > 0:25:56'Most of the work done before he even hits the floor.
0:25:58 > 0:25:59'He rolls, he grabs,
0:25:59 > 0:26:02'two with the hands and bang, bang!
0:26:02 > 0:26:03'The game is over.
0:26:03 > 0:26:07'US Ray putting the X into latex.'
0:26:07 > 0:26:10'He's jumping for joy, but nothing's official yet!'
0:26:10 > 0:26:13Incredible scenes from three guys
0:26:13 > 0:26:16who basically had no idea what they were about to do.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18The results are in!
0:26:18 > 0:26:20And in last place is Mr Cherry,
0:26:20 > 0:26:21who narrowly missed the target
0:26:21 > 0:26:24with 8.17 seconds.
0:26:25 > 0:26:27So, did anyone set a new record?
0:26:27 > 0:26:29So, Steve,
0:26:29 > 0:26:30you did get a record,
0:26:30 > 0:26:35- but then Ray beat you and he's got the new Guinness World Record!- Yeah!
0:26:35 > 0:26:36THEY CHEER
0:26:36 > 0:26:39'At last, a victory for Team USA!
0:26:39 > 0:26:42'Incredible and worthy of this romantic celebration.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44'Steve achieved the record
0:26:44 > 0:26:46'with 7.95 seconds.
0:26:46 > 0:26:50'But with 3.94 seconds, Ray smashed it to smithereens!
0:26:50 > 0:26:53'Let's see how that affects the scores.'
0:26:53 > 0:26:55US Ray! US Ray!
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Team USA and Team Japan are level pegging with one point apiece,
0:26:59 > 0:27:02and one world record apiece too!
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Team UK is narrowly out in front on two points,
