0:00:06 > 0:00:08Welcome to Officially Amazing,

0:00:08 > 0:00:10the show that guarantees to bring you

0:00:10 > 0:00:13the most talented, the most courageous and, dare I say,

0:00:13 > 0:00:17the most handsome record-breakers from across the planet.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19But sometimes, when they're not available,

0:00:19 > 0:00:22we have to do the best with what we have.

0:00:22 > 0:00:26In this case, we've managed to get award-winning comic and actor

0:00:26 > 0:00:28- Lee Mack.- I feel very welcomed, Ben.

0:00:28 > 0:00:30Yes, it's my pleasure, Lee.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32So, tell us, what record will you be attempting today?

0:00:32 > 0:00:35Is it the world's loudest laugh? The world's best joke?

0:00:35 > 0:00:38The world's greatest actor to appear in a sitcom called Not Going Out?

0:00:38 > 0:00:41No, Ben, today I will be going for the world record for the most

0:00:41 > 0:00:43amount of number twos in a minute.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46Both intriguing and disconcerting.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48Here's what's coming up on today's show.

0:00:50 > 0:00:54You won't belly-ieve what this man's going to do.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59And it's feeding time in the secret bunker,

0:00:59 > 0:01:01but first, it's back to the Mack.

0:01:11 > 0:01:15We kick off today's show with the most number twos in one minute.

0:01:15 > 0:01:16PARP!

0:01:16 > 0:01:17Not that! We mean darts,

0:01:17 > 0:01:21and the man attempting this possibly deliberately misleading record

0:01:21 > 0:01:24is award-winning comedian and actor Lee Mack!

0:01:24 > 0:01:27- So this is an exciting thing. - I'm genuinely excited.

0:01:27 > 0:01:29I'm a massive darts fan and I played for Comic Relief.

0:01:29 > 0:01:32- You won that competition.- Whatever?! I didn't want to bring it up.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Oh, I did, didn't I? - How's the training been going?

0:01:34 > 0:01:37I've got a dartboard at home, which annoys my kids.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39They go to bed at night and they're trying to get to sleep

0:01:39 > 0:01:41and all they hear is thud-thud-thud

0:01:41 > 0:01:45and an occasional thud-thud... "GRRR!"

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Number twos isn't the only record you're going for today?

0:01:47 > 0:01:50No, it's not. I'm going for the most bull's-eyes or outer bulls.

0:01:50 > 0:01:51- I have- practised. Good.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55Bearing in mind it took me about 17-and-a-half days to do it once.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58- I'm looking forward to seeing it. - I'm genuinely nervous and excited.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Here are the rules for the number twos record attempt.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05Only darts hitting these areas that score two point will be valid.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09That means the red double and triple zones will not count.

0:02:09 > 0:02:13Lee must throw from the standard distance of 2.37 metres

0:02:13 > 0:02:15from the dartboard

0:02:15 > 0:02:18and the target for this brand-new world record

0:02:18 > 0:02:20is 14 number twos in one minute.

0:02:20 > 0:02:23Right, Lee, it's time for the record attempt.

0:02:23 > 0:02:25Are you sure you don't want to go for a number one?

0:02:25 > 0:02:27I'm quite nervous but I think I'll be OK.

0:02:27 > 0:02:29Three...two...one...go.

0:02:29 > 0:02:31KLAXON SOUNDS

0:02:31 > 0:02:33'Yes... No!

0:02:33 > 0:02:36'But that's two quick number twos already.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39'That's more than I usually manage in a whole day.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42'Lee can only use three darts for this attempt.'

0:02:42 > 0:02:44He's lost a flight. That's going to add time on.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48'Fallen darts or dislodged flights will cost precious seconds.'

0:02:49 > 0:02:52- Come on.- He's having a word with himself. Come on, Lee.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Three...two...one....time.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56KLAXON SOUNDS

0:02:56 > 0:03:00'Ooh, time's up. Did Lee hit enough number twos to claim the record?'

0:03:01 > 0:03:03In order to get the record,

0:03:03 > 0:03:05you needed 14 number twos in one minute.

0:03:05 > 0:03:07You achieved...

0:03:07 > 0:03:11- 13.- Recount! Recount! I want a recount!

0:03:11 > 0:03:13I mean, never mind, these things happen.

0:03:13 > 0:03:14'Attempt number two.

0:03:14 > 0:03:18'Just relax, Lee, and the number twos will come naturally.'

0:03:18 > 0:03:22A strong start. It's a Mack attack. Come on.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26'That's five valid darts so far. Oh, six!'

0:03:26 > 0:03:29Going great guns at the moment. Come on, Lee.

0:03:29 > 0:03:30'To take this record,

0:03:30 > 0:03:35'Lee needs to land a successful dart roughly every four seconds.

0:03:35 > 0:03:37'That's nine out of nine.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40'The watching Mini Macks will be loving this.

0:03:40 > 0:03:42'He's so close.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45'It's a real balancing act of speed against precision.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48'If he rushes too much, his accuracy could suffer.'

0:03:48 > 0:03:53Five...four...three...two...one.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54KLAXON SOUNDS

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Ooh, right on the timer!

0:03:56 > 0:03:59'Incredible accuracy delivered at great speed,

0:03:59 > 0:04:02'but did he reach the target of 14?'

0:04:02 > 0:04:05That attempt you achieved...

0:04:06 > 0:04:09..18, which is a brand-new Guinness World Record!

0:04:09 > 0:04:10'Take a breather, Lee.

0:04:10 > 0:04:15'A far tougher challenge awaits you after Al and Haruka and...'

0:04:23 > 0:04:29This is Wang Zhanjun, a master of the martial art of t'ai chi, which,

0:04:29 > 0:04:33as you can see, focuses on internal power.

0:04:33 > 0:04:36And that should help in his attempt to set a record for

0:04:36 > 0:04:38the farthest distance flipping

0:04:38 > 0:04:41a 2kg weight...with the stomach?!

0:04:41 > 0:04:45They've even built a miniature long jump pit for him to flip it into.

0:04:45 > 0:04:51Impressive scenes. The target for this new world record is 65cms.

0:04:51 > 0:04:55First, like all athletes, Wang must warm up.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Whoa! what is going on here?

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Is something trying to escape?

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Amazing! And slightly disconcerting.

0:05:07 > 0:05:11Remember, that thing weighed the same as two bags of sugar.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14That is what I call stomach-churning.

0:05:14 > 0:05:15How on earth did he do that?

0:05:15 > 0:05:19No idea, but Wang's beguiling belly flipped that weight

0:05:19 > 0:05:23a record-breaking distance of 98cms.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26He really gave it some welly with his belly.

0:05:26 > 0:05:29Now the return of the Mack.

0:05:29 > 0:05:34Earlier, Lee Mack proved he's the world's number one at number twos,

0:05:34 > 0:05:37but this comedian now faces a challenge that would daunt

0:05:37 > 0:05:40even a professional darts player.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48This time, Lee must only land his darts in the inner and outer

0:05:48 > 0:05:53bull's-eyes and the record to beat is 11 bulls-eyes in one minute.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Let's get darted.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Three...two...one...go!

0:05:58 > 0:06:00Lee has played darts for years.

0:06:00 > 0:06:01He's good,

0:06:01 > 0:06:05but now he's aiming at a circle not much larger than a 50 pence piece.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07This will not be easy.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Let's see how his first attempt went.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13- That was just six.- So over halfway.

0:06:13 > 0:06:15Just six?!

0:06:15 > 0:06:18'He's back out for another go

0:06:18 > 0:06:21'but he's having a few problems with those flights.'

0:06:21 > 0:06:24- Seven.- Right, heading in the right direction.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28'The longer he plays, the more accurate he's becoming.

0:06:28 > 0:06:32'Will all those hours of late-night practice in his bedroom pay off?'

0:06:32 > 0:06:34Nine bull's-eyes.

0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Ooh! Getting better, Lee. - Getting close.

0:06:36 > 0:06:38- You feel it's coming on? - I feel...

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Give me another 16 days. All I ask.

0:06:41 > 0:06:44'We don't have that long, Lee, but you were just two short.

0:06:44 > 0:06:47'You're so close.

0:06:47 > 0:06:49'Crack! Whack! Thwack!

0:06:49 > 0:06:51'He's not slack. He's got the knack.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54'He won't crack and his name's not Jack.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57'It's the Lee Mack darts attack.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00'Ooh, that looked like a strong attempt. How did he do?'

0:07:01 > 0:07:0411. You equalled the world record.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06'Incredibly, he's equalled the record.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10'Can he go just one bull's-eye further and break it?'

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Go.

0:07:13 > 0:07:16'Two out of three. A solid start.'

0:07:16 > 0:07:18Come on. This is pace.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22'His eye's in. His arm's in. Come on, Lee, get those darts in.'

0:07:24 > 0:07:27'A perfect set. That's five bulls in six throws.'

0:07:31 > 0:07:33- Yes.- 15 seconds. - Come on, Lee. Come on.

0:07:33 > 0:07:37'Time is running out. Can he hold his nerve?'

0:07:37 > 0:07:38Time.

0:07:38 > 0:07:40'We've seen him equal this record.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43'Has he now done the unthinkable and broken it?'

0:07:43 > 0:07:45On that attempt, you achieved...

0:07:47 > 0:07:50..12, which is a brand-new Guinness World Record!

0:07:50 > 0:07:53Come on! Come on!

0:07:53 > 0:07:57- Congratulations.- I'm genuinely delighted. Thank you so much.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01'Two records in one day and the Mini Macks are delighted.

0:08:01 > 0:08:06'Now another record that requires skill, speed and real hunger.'

0:08:18 > 0:08:22Once again, three superheroes with no superpowers clash in a bid

0:08:22 > 0:08:27to find out who's best at breaking records you can try at home.

0:08:27 > 0:08:31They are America's finest, US Ray.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35Japan's finest, Mr Cherry.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38- And Britain's finest... - Wait, really?!- Of course!

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Sizzling Steve!

0:08:41 > 0:08:44This is Officially Competitive 3-D.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46Brought to you in glorious 2-D.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Last time out, Mr Cherry sharpened his way

0:08:51 > 0:08:52to the top of the leaderboard.

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Cherry!

0:08:56 > 0:08:59And with four events left, anyone can still win.

0:08:59 > 0:09:01Today is my kind of record.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07Yeah, I'm afraid it's not as deliciously simple as it sounds, Al.

0:09:07 > 0:09:09They're not allowed to use their hands.

0:09:09 > 0:09:11Hands schmands, man!

0:09:11 > 0:09:15'Oh, sorry you had to see this. It's both unhealthy and unseemly.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17'Let's get to the team talks.'

0:09:17 > 0:09:21How many have you eaten in preparation for this record attempt?

0:09:21 > 0:09:22Er, one.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24Why haven't you practised for this?

0:09:24 > 0:09:26Cos I'm no good at it, Ben.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30Well, at least Steve's training won't affect his waistline.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32But how has Cherry-san fared?

0:09:32 > 0:09:34Do you have any particular technique

0:09:34 > 0:09:37that you're going to use today?

0:09:37 > 0:09:41- TRANSLATION:- No, I'll start by surveying the doughnut, then...

0:09:41 > 0:09:44HE SNORTS

0:09:44 > 0:09:48HE GULPS

0:09:48 > 0:09:50..I will consume it quickly

0:09:50 > 0:09:52like a famished little piggy.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54A piggy that loves doughnuts.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Well, good luck, Mr Cherry

0:09:56 > 0:09:58and DOUGHNUT fail!

0:10:01 > 0:10:05Well, that's one approach. How's Ray going to DOUGH it?

0:10:05 > 0:10:08How do you fit doughnuts into your muscle-bound lifestyle?

0:10:08 > 0:10:10- I just eat them faster.- Faster?

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Yeah. More power, more energy.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15That's the way you keep the weight off just eat faster?

0:10:15 > 0:10:18- Go faster. Burns more calories. - I've never read or heard that.

0:10:18 > 0:10:22Yep, that's because Ray's talking nonsense.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26Keep the doughnut diet up, Ray, and your flipping days are numbered.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Here are the rules.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Doughnuts must be covered in sugar and have jam in the middle.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34The doughnut may not be touched with any body part except the mouth

0:10:34 > 0:10:38and lips must not be licked.

0:10:38 > 0:10:39And, to break the record,

0:10:39 > 0:10:45our heroes must have eaten a full doughnut in less than 11.41 seconds.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48I guess we can say a little dough-Ray-me.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50Hey!

0:10:50 > 0:10:53Urgh, I wish you hadn't!

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Three...two...one...go.

0:10:56 > 0:10:59Come on, Ray. Get in there, get in there.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01Ray almost seems to be trying to

0:11:01 > 0:11:05inhale the entire doughnut in one go.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08Yes, no finesse, no style, just sheer jaw strength.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11That's all right, Ray. You do whatever you want to do.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13No matter how disgusting.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Ray is doing his best to chomp that dough,

0:11:15 > 0:11:19but it does not seem to be working.

0:11:19 > 0:11:22He seems to be hoarding the doughnut in his cheeks like some

0:11:22 > 0:11:25kind of giant American hamster.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27- Do you want to start chewing?- Mmm.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30- If you're done, you're done. I think this is over.- Mmm.

0:11:30 > 0:11:32All right.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35So Ray's tactic of putting the whole thing in his mouth at once

0:11:35 > 0:11:38backfires and he can't eat it.

0:11:38 > 0:11:40Don't try that at home.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45Come on Cherry-san. Go.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48Unlike Ray, Cherry is tearing off manageable chunks,

0:11:48 > 0:11:50much like a lion feasting on the rump

0:11:50 > 0:11:53of a large sugar-coated wildebeest.

0:11:55 > 0:11:57But, just like Ray, he's struggling to swallow...

0:12:00 > 0:12:04..and won't get close to that target of 11.41 seconds.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Wait, did I see a little lick there?

0:12:08 > 0:12:10Let's see that again. Oh, yes, look at that.

0:12:10 > 0:12:12A definite lip smack.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15But did official adjudicator Shantha spot it?

0:12:16 > 0:12:19I don't think he even knew he did it.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22That's the devious nature of this record.

0:12:22 > 0:12:23The doughnut is gone

0:12:23 > 0:12:27but did that tempestuous tongue end his attempt?

0:12:27 > 0:12:29So, with Ray out the running

0:12:29 > 0:12:32and Mr Cherry facing possible disqualification,

0:12:32 > 0:12:34what does the Sizzler do now?

0:12:35 > 0:12:40Does he, A, make an heroic attempt to annihilate the existing record?

0:12:41 > 0:12:44Or B, just go for the points and eat very carefully and boringly

0:12:44 > 0:12:48and hope that Shantha penalises Mr Cherry's tongue?

0:12:48 > 0:12:50Sadly, it's option B.

0:12:50 > 0:12:55That's a little against the spirit of Officially Competitive.

0:12:55 > 0:12:58Sorry, but that's the advantage of going last.

0:12:58 > 0:13:04Shantha must closely inspect there's not even a teeny bit of tongue.

0:13:04 > 0:13:06That cannot be pleasant.

0:13:06 > 0:13:07We'll save you the pain of watching

0:13:07 > 0:13:12the rest of Steve's laborious attempt and get to the results.

0:13:12 > 0:13:14All right, guys, we didn't break a record,

0:13:14 > 0:13:18but who got the all-important Officially Competitive point?

0:13:18 > 0:13:23Two of the attempts were disqualified.

0:13:23 > 0:13:26So Shantha did spot Cherry's lip-licking

0:13:26 > 0:13:29and that Ray was rubbish.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32So the winner, with the only valid attempt

0:13:32 > 0:13:36and a time of three minutes and 14 seconds

0:13:36 > 0:13:39is Steve.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42Yes! Come on!

0:13:42 > 0:13:45Winning by default is surely the best way.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48Default! Default! Default! Default!

0:13:48 > 0:13:52So Steve's healthy one-doughnut training paid off.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55Just be happy we didn't make you watch his whole attempt.

0:13:55 > 0:13:57I'm still having nightmares!

0:13:57 > 0:14:00That puts Steve joint top with Mr Cherry.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04Join us next time for more genuine amazingness like this.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06# Well, with his dart-throwing chops

0:14:06 > 0:14:07# Lee Mack was double tops

0:14:07 > 0:14:10# His aim was good and true

0:14:10 > 0:14:12# Even he was surprised at the most bull's-eyes

0:14:12 > 0:14:14# And he also took the most number twos

0:14:14 > 0:14:16# The doughnut challenge was tricky

0:14:16 > 0:14:18# Cherry lost cos he got licky

0:14:18 > 0:14:22# And Ray couldn't get his down meaning Sizzler took the crown

0:14:22 > 0:14:27# And Wang wowed us with his wobbly belly powers
