0:00:16 > 0:00:19- # And a woman with a beard.- What?
0:00:19 > 0:00:22# Officially, officially, officially
0:00:22 > 0:00:24# Amazing! #
0:00:24 > 0:00:25He-ya!
0:00:25 > 0:00:30Welcome to Officially Amazing, the only place you can guarantee to see
0:00:30 > 0:00:33the best records and record attempts from across the universe
0:00:33 > 0:00:36every episode. Ben is running a little late today,
0:00:36 > 0:00:38so I'm stepping in for him.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41You all right, Haruka?
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Here's what's coming in today's show...
0:00:45 > 0:00:46CUCKOO!
0:00:46 > 0:00:47BEEP!
0:00:47 > 0:00:50- Yes, we have a...- Oi! Honestly!
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Yes, we have a superb selection
0:00:52 > 0:00:55of Guinness World Records title attempts coming up today,
0:00:55 > 0:00:57including...
0:00:59 > 0:01:03In Officially Competitive, the scores are even and nobody
0:01:03 > 0:01:06wants to be beaten, least of all these eggs.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Over in America, Al witnesses the preposterous potting skills
0:01:12 > 0:01:16of this man, in a super-cool pool-hall-based record attempt.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23And in China, this unicycle whizz can't help flaunting his skills,
0:01:23 > 0:01:27but what on Earth will his record attempt be? We'll find out later.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31But first, a wonderfully wet record attempt in the UK.
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Eugh! He-ya!
0:01:41 > 0:01:45US RAY: One man, on an epic journey to seek out the world's
0:01:45 > 0:01:46most amazing records.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51A hero who wears his quiff tall.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53He laughs in the face of danger.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55WEEDY LAUGH
0:01:55 > 0:01:58Ah, come on! Who wrote this?
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Oi, I did! Get back to the script!
0:02:01 > 0:02:03OK, OK... So tetchy!
0:02:03 > 0:02:05RAY CLEARS THROAT
0:02:05 > 0:02:08DRAMATICALLY: Today, Ben Shires is going to show the world
0:02:08 > 0:02:11his skills at wakeboarding
0:02:11 > 0:02:15and THIS...is how it's done.
0:02:15 > 0:02:16Argh!
0:02:16 > 0:02:18Oh!
0:02:18 > 0:02:20Or how it's not done!
0:02:20 > 0:02:25# Down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down... #
0:02:25 > 0:02:28- Whoa!- And hang on a second, Ben.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31ALARM BLARES Quiff down! Quiff down!
0:02:31 > 0:02:34For the first time in three series, the quiff has deflated!
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- Brilliant!- Yes, yes. Moving on!
0:02:38 > 0:02:41Let's check out who we're ACTUALLY here to see today.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44We're in Basildon, Essex,
0:02:44 > 0:02:45with Tor and Nick,
0:02:45 > 0:02:46two wakeboarding wonders!
0:02:46 > 0:02:48Check them out!
0:02:48 > 0:02:50# Seems you have forgotten... #
0:02:50 > 0:02:52These guys are sensational!
0:02:52 > 0:02:57Using the rails, the jumps and, sometimes, just their own strength,
0:02:57 > 0:03:00to wow us with their watery wizardry.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02Wakeboarders used to be towed along by boats,
0:03:02 > 0:03:04but today, there's no boat.
0:03:04 > 0:03:08Instead, the boarders are pulled by a system of wires and wheels,
0:03:08 > 0:03:09at up to 20mph.
0:03:11 > 0:03:13No time to be showing off, though.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Our two topsy-turvy wakeboarding experts will be tackling the record
0:03:18 > 0:03:23for the most inverts in 60 seconds - a record that's stood for 15 years!
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Nick and Tor must perform a minimum of two types of invert,
0:03:28 > 0:03:31which are tricks performed in the air during the attempt.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34The two for you to look out for are the mobe -
0:03:34 > 0:03:38that's an overhead rotation on the board - and the Superman...
0:03:39 > 0:03:41..where you flip the board out behind you
0:03:41 > 0:03:45and end up looking like, well, Superman, when he's flying.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Both tricks require amazing amounts of skill, timing and confidence.
0:03:48 > 0:03:52Being towed at 20mph means, if you get it wrong,
0:03:52 > 0:03:54you're in trouble.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57What happens, Tor, when you wipeout on there?
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Cos it looks like you hit the water quite hard, as well.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Well, it hurts, yeah, half the time.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Just as hard as hitting concrete, sometimes.- Wow!
0:04:05 > 0:04:10Hopefully, today, they're smashing records and not bones.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15And there's only one way to decide who goes first in this epic battle.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17Rock, paper, scissors!
0:04:17 > 0:04:21- Ooh!- I'm first!- Oh, right, so the loser goes first, do they?!
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- That's it!- Chivalry is not dead.
0:04:24 > 0:04:28While Nick goes and prepares for that, check out the rules.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33A standard wakeboard and bindings must be used.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37Falling, or dropping the towrope, means it's the end of the attempt.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38They have 60 seconds to complete
0:04:38 > 0:04:40a combination of as many mobe
0:04:40 > 0:04:42and Superman flips as possible
0:04:42 > 0:04:43and the record to beat
0:04:43 > 0:04:45is 15 inverts.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47It hasn't been broken for 15 years.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Will that change today?
0:04:54 > 0:04:56And he's off!
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Starting with a Superman.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00It's really hard to get the board back in front of him
0:05:00 > 0:05:02and not faceplant into the water.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04That's four.
0:05:04 > 0:05:07Switching to a mobe now,
0:05:07 > 0:05:10using the edge of the board to flip himself round.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Flipping fantastic! Check this guy out!
0:05:13 > 0:05:15It's such physical activity.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18I can't believe that he can actually get himself round.
0:05:18 > 0:05:22That's ten. He's racking up the numbers. 15 to beat, remember.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27Back to Superman. He's obviously tiring now. No wonder!
0:05:27 > 0:05:31Another mobe, but more of a slow mobe.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Let's see that slow-mo mobe in slow-mo.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39This guy's a machine. A wave machine!
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Ooh, did Nick sneak one in right at the end of the minute?
0:05:42 > 0:05:47It looked amazing to me, but was it Officially Amazing?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Well, we'll find out later.
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Tor's getting ready for her go, but first,
0:05:52 > 0:05:54here's Haruka, with a record from China
0:05:54 > 0:05:56in something...
0:06:00 > 0:06:01Ha!
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Ow!
0:06:03 > 0:06:08We're in Beijing, China, to witness a truly wondrous record attempt
0:06:08 > 0:06:13featuring this excitable chap - Peter Rosendahl from Sweden.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15He's certainly proving very handy with a unicycle,
0:06:15 > 0:06:19but what record will he be attempting today?
0:06:19 > 0:06:20Is it...
0:06:20 > 0:06:22Most skips on a unicycle?
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Most hops up and down the stairs on a unicycle?
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Or, longest distance on a unicycle
0:06:30 > 0:06:33with a wheel diameter of 15mm?
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Well, it sounded the least likely,
0:06:36 > 0:06:39but it is, indeed, the longest distance travelled on a unicycle
0:06:39 > 0:06:42with a 15mm diameter.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45Hang on a minute, surely this can't be possible -
0:06:45 > 0:06:48that wheel's smaller than a 5p piece!
0:06:48 > 0:06:52But Peter is the Swedish superstar of the unicycling circuit
0:06:52 > 0:06:55and actually already holds the current record,
0:06:55 > 0:06:58with a distance travelled of 4.31 metres.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Today, he's hoping to travel over 5 metres!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04That would beat his old record by quite a distance.
0:07:04 > 0:07:09And, as you can tell by the host's attempt, it's not very easy.
0:07:12 > 0:07:13Right, he's set.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Look at that focus!
0:07:15 > 0:07:17This is partly because Peter has told his cat
0:07:17 > 0:07:22that, if he breaks the record, it can have its food bowl back.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25This requires serious balancing skills.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29I just can't believe he can even get going on it.
0:07:29 > 0:07:30It's so tiny!
0:07:30 > 0:07:33That nod confirms Peter's ready.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37And he's off! Wow! Look at him go!
0:07:39 > 0:07:42I mean, it does look a little funny,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44but what a skill!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46I don't know how he's doing this.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49The five-metre mark is coming up
0:07:49 > 0:07:51and Peter's still going,
0:07:51 > 0:07:54even though he's running out of tiny runway.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56And that's it! What a reaction!
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Never before has a man achieved such things with such
0:08:00 > 0:08:03a magnificently mini unicycle.
0:08:03 > 0:08:04Exciting times!
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Let's find out the official result.
0:08:08 > 0:08:10You can see how much this means to Peter.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Such a feat of fitness!
0:08:13 > 0:08:17He's done it! 5.79 metres -
0:08:17 > 0:08:21a brand-new world record and a standing ovation from the audience.
0:08:21 > 0:08:24That minute unicycle has brought a massive smile
0:08:24 > 0:08:27to Peter's face, which will be wiped off when he's told
0:08:27 > 0:08:30that he now has to ride it back home to Sweden.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35Thanks, Haruka. Now, back to the UK, for something...
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Whee, whee, whee!
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- Argh!- Part two.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46Welcome back to Basildon in Essex,
0:08:46 > 0:08:50where wakeboarders Tor and Nick are trying to
0:08:50 > 0:08:52bag themselves a Guinness World Records title
0:08:52 > 0:08:55for most inverts on a wakeboard in 60 seconds -
0:08:55 > 0:08:58a record that's stood for 15 years!
0:08:59 > 0:09:03Nick had an impressive run earlier, completing the full 60 seconds
0:09:03 > 0:09:05and bedazzling us with his skills.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09But now Tor is set to have her turn.
0:09:10 > 0:09:1215 is the record to beat.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16Tor's away!
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Starting with a mobe flip.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23Huge upper body strength required for that. Look at her!
0:09:23 > 0:09:26An absolute natural. That's the Superman.
0:09:26 > 0:09:30She's going so fast, she's like a Tor-pedo!
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Whoa! Huge air, there.
0:09:32 > 0:09:37Remember, the current world record is 15 flips in 60 seconds.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41There's another Superman, but she's looking a bit tired.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Has she got enough energy to keep going?
0:09:45 > 0:09:50Tor's giving it a really good go out there. Come on, Tor!
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Fast into that turn and...
0:09:52 > 0:09:56- Oh, no!- Ooh! - Tor's crash-landed that mobe,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59so her attempt's over, just at the one-minute mark.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01I believe that's known as a wipeout. That was a big crash!
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Hope she's OK.
0:10:02 > 0:10:06Thankfully, Tor wasn't hurt and she certainly filled her 60 seconds
0:10:06 > 0:10:08with many an invert.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11But has she done enough to break the record that's 15 years old?
0:10:11 > 0:10:15Over to official adjudicator Anna for the results.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20First, did Tor manage to beat 15 before her wipeout?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22So, in one minute, you achieved 12.
0:10:22 > 0:10:23ALL: Aw!
0:10:23 > 0:10:26A Tor-riffic performance,
0:10:26 > 0:10:29but, unfortunately, no world record for Tor today.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Nick stayed on his board for the full 60 seconds,
0:10:32 > 0:10:36but did he complete more than 15 inverts?
0:10:36 > 0:10:37In one minute,
0:10:37 > 0:10:38- you achieved 24!- Wow!
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- Congratulations!- Look at that!
0:10:42 > 0:10:44Nick smashed it!
0:10:44 > 0:10:46The old record is history.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48He beat it by nine inverts.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51That really IS Officially Amazing.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53Right, karaoke time now.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56I've been told I have the singing voice of a cat,
0:10:56 > 0:10:59which is handy, as this is one of our favourite songs
0:10:59 > 0:11:01about record-breaking animals.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02FUNKY MUSIC STARTS
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Over to Al in America now for another record-breaking animal...
0:12:54 > 0:12:55in the form of a pool shark!
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Yeah! He-he-he-he!
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Uh?! Argh!
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Oh! Phew!
0:13:05 > 0:13:06Uh?!
0:13:06 > 0:13:08Argh!
0:13:08 > 0:13:09CRASH!
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Pool!
0:13:13 > 0:13:14Snooker!
0:13:14 > 0:13:17I mean, in snooker, there's a lot of this...
0:13:17 > 0:13:21SCRATCHED MUSIC HALL RECORD PLAYS
0:13:25 > 0:13:27In pool, there's a lot of this...
0:13:31 > 0:13:33And that's why we're doing my challenge here
0:13:33 > 0:13:35in Los Angeles, California.
0:13:35 > 0:13:38This might be an American ball game,
0:13:38 > 0:13:41but one of the best people in the world at it is a Brit -
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Dave Pearson, from Sunderland, a real pool...
0:13:44 > 0:13:47I mean, real COOL guy,
0:13:47 > 0:13:49who now lives over here in the States.
0:13:49 > 0:13:51He can do this!
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Nice!
0:13:53 > 0:13:54And even this!
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Nice-r!
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Dave already has the world record
0:14:03 > 0:14:05for the fastest time to clear one table.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08That means potting all 15 balls
0:14:08 > 0:14:11in just 26.5 seconds!
0:14:11 > 0:14:13But today, he wants to break
0:14:13 > 0:14:15the record for the fastest time
0:14:15 > 0:14:16to clear five tables,
0:14:16 > 0:14:18meaning he'll get more and more tired,
0:14:18 > 0:14:21with a greater chance of missing shots!
0:14:21 > 0:14:23Ooh! I'm in a spin just thinking about it!
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- Nice to meet you, Al. - How are you?- I'm pretty good.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Tell everybody your nickname, cos I love it.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- My nickname's The Ginger Wizard. - Who gave you that nickname?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Oh, it was given to me by a pool professional back in England
0:14:35 > 0:14:38many years ago. They just couldn't believe
0:14:38 > 0:14:40how I made the white ball dance and do crazy things
0:14:40 > 0:14:42and that's why they gave me the nickname.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45A wizard - and he's a good "potter".
0:14:45 > 0:14:48No, I can't make a connection.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Anyway, here are the rules.
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Dave will be running simultaneously between two tables
0:14:54 > 0:14:56and must clear all the balls on one
0:14:56 > 0:14:58before moving to the next one.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02Each time he clears a table, it will be reset by an assistant.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05The balls can be pocketed in any order,
0:15:05 > 0:15:08but the black eight ball has to be sunk last.
0:15:08 > 0:15:09The target for this new record
0:15:09 > 0:15:12is five minutes and 30 seconds.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14That means he'll need to average a time
0:15:14 > 0:15:17of one minute and six seconds to clear each table.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20That's ridiculously fast!
0:15:20 > 0:15:22And Dave only has three attempts at the record.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Come on, record-breaking time. Let's go!
0:15:25 > 0:15:27In Dave's first attempt,
0:15:27 > 0:15:30he couldn't keep the pace and missed too many shots.
0:15:30 > 0:15:33He was still only on table four
0:15:33 > 0:15:36when his five-and-a-half minutes ran out.
0:15:36 > 0:15:38- Time up. - It's all right. Let's go!
0:15:38 > 0:15:40Without Dave even reaching the final table,
0:15:40 > 0:15:43I was wondering if this was even remotely possible.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46But he's ready to go again and full of determination.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49Dave's second attempt started well,
0:15:49 > 0:15:53but pretty soon, he started missing pots again.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56He doesn't need to get each ball in first time,
0:15:56 > 0:15:58but the more he misses, the more time he loses.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00There we go, let's... Argh! Let's get...
0:16:00 > 0:16:01And after two-and-a-half minutes,
0:16:01 > 0:16:03Dave realised at table three
0:16:03 > 0:16:07that he just couldn't make the time back up, no matter how fast he went!
0:16:07 > 0:16:10- There's no way I can get it. - So, you've made a decision -
0:16:10 > 0:16:12- you want to stop with this record cos you're behind pace?- Yeah.
0:16:12 > 0:16:15- We have one more round to go.- OK. - Now, let's make sure that we get it.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- OK.- Save all your energy, relax a little bit.
0:16:17 > 0:16:20- Let's wipe the sweat off our brow. Focus.- Perfect.
0:16:20 > 0:16:21We'll get this record the third round.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25Don't sweat it, Dave, we have faith in you.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27This is the wizard's final attempt.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30Can he pocket himself a new Guinness World Records title?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Five minutes 30, the target.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I'm going to count you in. Three...
0:16:35 > 0:16:38..two, one, go!
0:16:38 > 0:16:40Sink some on that break. There's one.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42There, I think we sunk two.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44'Yes! With two balls potted from the break,
0:16:44 > 0:16:47'the wizard is off to a magical start.'
0:16:47 > 0:16:48- Come on! - Look at this!
0:16:48 > 0:16:51- Knock this in and let's get to that second table.- Yo!
0:16:51 > 0:16:55'A triumphant call from Dave. Table one down in 54 seconds.'
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- We already sunk one.- One minute. - Let's go, keep our pace.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00'Remember, Dave needs to clear each table
0:17:00 > 0:17:03'in an average of one minute and six seconds
0:17:03 > 0:17:07'if he's to beat the overall target of five minutes and 30.'
0:17:07 > 0:17:09- Two minutes. - 'He's down to the eight ball.'
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- Who says you can't break a sweat playing pool?- Two minutes and four.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Two tables down and he's eight seconds ahead of schedule,
0:17:16 > 0:17:17but can he keep it up?
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Get that shot... - Oh, yeah!
0:17:19 > 0:17:21- Look at that, he's rolling. - Oh, yeah!
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Let's knock this one in.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26'Ooh, that's valuable time lost.'
0:17:28 > 0:17:30- And... - Three minutes, 17.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32We're on to table four.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34'At three minutes, 17 seconds,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37'he's now only one second ahead of schedule,
0:17:37 > 0:17:38'so he's losing time!'
0:17:38 > 0:17:40I need 4.24.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43Get in, five ball. Get in, five ball.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- All right.- Oh, yeah! We've got a chance, guys.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47- We've got a chance! - Four minutes, 21.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50'Dave has got to the fifth and final table for the first time
0:17:50 > 0:17:53'and he's now just three seconds ahead of the record pace.'
0:17:53 > 0:17:55We're getting close.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58'Can the wizard work his magic on this final attempt?'
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Oh, yeah! - Come on, Dave, you can do it!
0:18:02 > 0:18:07Another pot missed - that's seconds that he just can't afford to lose.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11'Ah, and another! Come on, Dave.'
0:18:11 > 0:18:13- What time? Time check. - 5.15.
0:18:13 > 0:18:18'He now has less than 15 seconds to pot the final three balls.'
0:18:18 > 0:18:23..22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27...
0:18:23 > 0:18:27If he misses this, it's all over.
0:18:31 > 0:18:3229!
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Unbelievable!
0:18:34 > 0:18:36Come on!
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Dave thinks he's potted the final ball
0:18:38 > 0:18:40with just one second to go,
0:18:40 > 0:18:42but he was so caught up in the moment,
0:18:42 > 0:18:44it's hard to count accurately.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47Did he officially pocket the record?
0:18:47 > 0:18:49And you manage to complete the five tables...
0:18:49 > 0:18:52'Five minutes and 30 seconds is the target...'
0:18:52 > 0:18:53..in five minutes...
0:18:56 > 0:18:57..and 27 seconds!
0:18:57 > 0:18:58- Yeah!- Yeah!
0:18:58 > 0:19:00'So, it's a new World Record.'
0:19:00 > 0:19:01THEY LAUGH
0:19:01 > 0:19:05And Dave achieved it with three seconds to spare!
0:19:05 > 0:19:08He is an "Officially Amazing" wizard.
0:19:08 > 0:19:13Now, from one record-breaking wonder to three of them in something...
0:19:13 > 0:19:14Officially...
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Ssh! Competitive!
0:19:16 > 0:19:19Eh, huh!
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Ergh! Uh-oh!
0:19:22 > 0:19:27Welcome to the wondrous place where Mr Cherry, US Ray
0:19:27 > 0:19:30and the sizzlingest Steve on the planet
0:19:30 > 0:19:34come to break records you can try at home.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Welcome to...
0:19:42 > 0:19:44With the scores all ever so even at two apiece,
0:19:44 > 0:19:47and only six record attempts left to go,
0:19:47 > 0:19:51this is going to be a sensational scramble for the finish.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54But the last two events have seen a lack of record-breaking
0:19:54 > 0:19:57and so our competitors are desperate to get back on track.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59So, what's the Guinness World Records title
0:19:59 > 0:20:01they'll be attempting today?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03It's time for an eggs-citing
0:20:03 > 0:20:06Officially Competitive eggs-travaganza.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08Yes, I am of course referring to the record
0:20:08 > 0:20:10for the fastest time to move six eggs
0:20:10 > 0:20:12into egg cups using your feet.
0:20:12 > 0:20:13We've all done it, right?
0:20:13 > 0:20:16The guys are warming up behind me, but before we get cracking,
0:20:16 > 0:20:19it's time to find out what the presenters will be up to.
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Hmm.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Bull's-eye? What?
0:20:23 > 0:20:27Yes. First of all, Haruka, Al and I took part in a challenge
0:20:27 > 0:20:30to help decide the order in which Cherry, Ray and Sizzler
0:20:30 > 0:20:33would compete in the egg-shifting record.
0:20:33 > 0:20:34ALL: Oh!
0:20:34 > 0:20:35'We had one dart each...'
0:20:35 > 0:20:36Wind's picking up round here.
0:20:36 > 0:20:39'..and had to throw it and get it as close to the middle of the board,
0:20:39 > 0:20:41'also known as the bull's-eye,
0:20:41 > 0:20:43'as possible.
0:20:43 > 0:20:45'I was closest after two darts
0:20:45 > 0:20:47'and only Al could beat me.'
0:20:47 > 0:20:49All right, excuse us guys, pro up.
0:20:49 > 0:20:51All right, Al, you got this.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53- Go on, Al! I know you got this in you.- Let's do this, baby.
0:20:53 > 0:20:57- A big right arm.- Take your time. - Yeah, just like that.
0:20:58 > 0:21:00'But of course, Al was rubbish
0:21:00 > 0:21:02'and I won!
0:21:02 > 0:21:05'So, Steve chose to go last in the eggy record attempt
0:21:05 > 0:21:09'and, due to Al's pathetic effort, Ray will be going first.
0:21:09 > 0:21:12'But not before our usual pre-match chat.'
0:21:12 > 0:21:16Is it moving to watch you moving eggs with your feet?
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Well, I don't watch myself, really, I just watch my feet.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Are you worried you're putting all your eggs in one basket?
0:21:21 > 0:21:23No, because they're going into egg cups.
0:21:23 > 0:21:26Yeah. OK.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Mm - powerful words from Steve.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32But he's not alone when it comes to deep, meaningful philosophy.
0:21:32 > 0:21:34How are you feeling?
0:21:34 > 0:21:36That's not the confident face I've been seeing all the time.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- How are you feeling? - Yeah, about that one,
0:21:38 > 0:21:40it's...it's a little difficult.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42I've got smaller feet, so trying to place these eggs
0:21:42 > 0:21:45with my feet into cups is a little bit difficult.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Well, I just want you to know, even though your toes are small,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50it's not about the size of the toe,
0:21:50 > 0:21:52it's about the size of the foot and the man.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54I just made that up.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57- That was great. - All right. Think about that.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59Yes... Nice one, Al.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03While the USA and the UK philosophise,
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Mr Cherry remains relaxed.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Are you not worried that the shells might get between your toes?
0:22:08 > 0:22:12- TRANSLATION:- No, it's no problem at all, love.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14- BUZZING/SLAPPING - Egg shells, I mean. No problem.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17I can even cope with walnut shells stuck in me bum.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20THEY SPEAK IN JAPANESE
0:22:20 > 0:22:23Right, here are the rules for the fastest time
0:22:23 > 0:22:26to put six eggs in egg cups using the feet.
0:22:26 > 0:22:28Six raw eggs must be used.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32Contestants must use their feet at all times.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34You're allowed three spare eggs
0:22:34 > 0:22:35to replace any broken ones,
0:22:35 > 0:22:36but the attempt is over
0:22:36 > 0:22:38if you break them as well.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40And the current record to beat
0:22:40 > 0:22:42is 21.15 seconds,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44to get six eggs into their cups.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46Ray is up first.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49Three, two, one, go!
0:22:54 > 0:22:55A great start for Ray.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01'Those first two eggs going in really quickly.'
0:23:01 > 0:23:03'He's certainly not yolking around.'
0:23:03 > 0:23:04'Enough, Ben!
0:23:04 > 0:23:08'It seems Ray's concerns for his smaller-than-average feet
0:23:08 > 0:23:09'were unnecessary.
0:23:09 > 0:23:13'Instead, they've given him a dainty dexterity.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14'Last one.
0:23:14 > 0:23:19'Egg number three needs to be straight inside the cup and...yes!
0:23:19 > 0:23:22'He hasn't even used any of his egg-stra eggs!'
0:23:22 > 0:23:26I hate to admit it - that was pretty impressive.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28But I'm sure Mr Cherry can do better.
0:23:29 > 0:23:33'Cherry has decided to stand for his turn.'
0:23:33 > 0:23:36'Some tactical genius from the great man.'
0:23:36 > 0:23:37- Are you confident? - Yes!
0:23:37 > 0:23:39THEY SPEAK IN JAPANESE
0:23:39 > 0:23:41Oh...50/50.
0:23:41 > 0:23:43- THEY LAUGH - OK.- OK!
0:23:43 > 0:23:45- Are you ready?- Yeah!
0:23:45 > 0:23:48Three, two, one, go!
0:23:50 > 0:23:54'Hmm - Cherry's tactic doesn't seem to be working.'
0:23:55 > 0:23:58HARUKA SPEAKS IN JAPANESE
0:24:02 > 0:24:03'That's two.'
0:24:04 > 0:24:06Oh, sorry!
0:24:06 > 0:24:09'Oh, he's smashed it, and not in a good way.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11'That egg is no more
0:24:11 > 0:24:13'and Mr Cherry is going to struggle now
0:24:13 > 0:24:15'with those slippery feet.'
0:24:15 > 0:24:18'Cherry has had to revert to my man Ray's
0:24:18 > 0:24:20'superior sitting technique.'
0:24:20 > 0:24:22'He just can't get a grip of an egg.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24'Anna puts in one of his three spares.'
0:24:24 > 0:24:26OK, thank you.
0:24:26 > 0:24:29'I have never seen the great man struggle so much!'
0:24:31 > 0:24:33- Yeah!- All right!- Hey!
0:24:33 > 0:24:37'Mr Cherry has become Mr Messy.'
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Come on, egg! Come on!
0:24:41 > 0:24:44'He's only got one of his three egg-stra eggs left!'
0:24:44 > 0:24:45Come on! Come on!
0:24:45 > 0:24:47- Oh! No! - THEY GROAN
0:24:47 > 0:24:50- CHANTING: Cherry! Cherry! Cherry! - Longer!
0:24:50 > 0:24:54Come on! No! No, no, no!
0:24:54 > 0:24:56No! No, come on. Another.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- No, stop.- No, stop!
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Mr Cherry hasn't enough unbroken eggs left
0:25:06 > 0:25:07to complete the challenge.
0:25:08 > 0:25:12This is devastating for the great man.
0:25:12 > 0:25:13But not for long.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14Egg-scuse me!
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Step aside for the real master.
0:25:19 > 0:25:25It's the Sizzler's turn next. 21.15 seconds to beat.
0:25:25 > 0:25:26Sizzle for me.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28'He's seen Cherry's failure
0:25:28 > 0:25:31'and so is going for Ray's two-footed system,
0:25:31 > 0:25:35'but with the cups in rows and a towel ready in case of eggy feet.'
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Come on! Come on, S-T, you've got this.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41'But, ooh - has disaster struck early?
0:25:41 > 0:25:42'He's knocked a cup over.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44'Are they too close together?
0:25:45 > 0:25:47'Like an eggy sprinter,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49'Steve is going at quite a pace.'
0:25:49 > 0:25:51Yes!
0:25:52 > 0:25:54- Ooh!- Oh, no! - Eggs-traordinary.
0:25:54 > 0:25:58Eggs-traordinary?! Steve, this is no time for yolks!
0:25:58 > 0:26:01I'm just pleased to see him finally come out of his shell.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Go on, Steve, you can do it.
0:26:07 > 0:26:08Yes!
0:26:08 > 0:26:10Ah, look at that! A pro!
0:26:13 > 0:26:17Yes! Wow, that was great! What a recovery.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Good work from Steve, but could this toppling egg
0:26:20 > 0:26:23be the defining moment in today's event?
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Let's get the results.
0:26:25 > 0:26:2821.15 seconds to beat.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Well, I'm sure you'll agree that was incrEGGable.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Sorry...that was really bad.
0:26:34 > 0:26:36But do we have a new world record, Anna?
0:26:37 > 0:26:38No, we don't.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40THEY GROAN Sorry.
0:26:40 > 0:26:42So let's move on to who won this thing.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- Anna, put us out of our misery. - OK, so in 44 seconds...
0:26:48 > 0:26:49..today's winner is US Ray!
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Oh!
0:26:50 > 0:26:54'So, it's victory for US Ray, despite his tiny feet.
0:26:54 > 0:26:56'With his time of 59.1 seconds,
0:26:56 > 0:26:58'Steve simply failed to sizzle
0:26:58 > 0:27:00'those eggs into submission.'
0:27:00 > 0:27:01Woo! You won, be gracious!
0:27:01 > 0:27:04'And Mr Cherry scrambled so many eggs,
0:27:04 > 0:27:07'he seems to have scrambled his brains too.'
0:27:08 > 0:27:11'See? Let's find out what that does to the scores.'
0:27:11 > 0:27:14After eight events, it's 3-2-2,
0:27:14 > 0:27:16with America now edging ahead.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18That's all for today.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Join us next time for more Officially Amazing world records
0:27:21 > 0:27:24and world record attempts like these...
0:27:24 > 0:27:26# Well, with his feet
0:27:26 > 0:27:27# Ray had the others beat
0:27:27 > 0:27:30# He was quicker than Cherry and Steve
0:27:30 > 0:27:32# Cherry's eggs broke which was really no yolk
0:27:32 > 0:27:33# But he did say... #
0:27:33 > 0:27:35Egg-scuse me!
0:27:35 > 0:27:36# The wizard kept his cool
0:27:36 > 0:27:38# And played some speedy pool
0:27:38 > 0:27:40# Tor did many a nifty trick
0:27:40 > 0:27:42# But not as many as Nick
0:27:42 > 0:27:47# And Peter's tiny unicycle travelled metres
0:27:47 > 0:27:51# It's all Officially Amazing! #
