Welcome to Officially Amazing, | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
the show that guarantees to bring you | 0:00:08 | 0:00:10 | |
the most talented, the most courageous and, dare I say, | 0:00:10 | 0:00:13 | |
the most handsome record-breakers from across the planet. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
But sometimes, when they're not available, | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
we have to do the best with what we have. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
In this case, we've managed to get award-winning comic and actor | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
-Lee Mack. -I feel very welcomed, Ben. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:28 | |
Yes, it's my pleasure, Lee. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
So, tell us, what record will you be attempting today? | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
Is it the world's loudest laugh? The world's best joke? | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
The world's greatest actor to appear in a sitcom called Not Going Out? | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
No, Ben, today I will be going for the world record for the most | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
amount of number twos in a minute. | 0:00:41 | 0:00:43 | |
Both intriguing and disconcerting. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
Here's what's coming up on today's show. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
You won't belly-ieve what this man's going to do. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
And it's feeding time in the secret bunker, | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
but first, it's back to the Mack. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
We kick off today's show with the most number twos in one minute. | 0:01:11 | 0:01:15 | |
PARP! | 0:01:15 | 0:01:16 | |
Not that! We mean darts, | 0:01:16 | 0:01:17 | |
and the man attempting this possibly deliberately misleading record | 0:01:17 | 0:01:21 | |
is award-winning comedian and actor Lee Mack! | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
-So this is an exciting thing. -I'm genuinely excited. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
I'm a massive darts fan and I played for Comic Relief. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
-You won that competition. -Whatever?! I didn't want to bring it up. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
-Oh, I did, didn't I? -How's the training been going? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
I've got a dartboard at home, which annoys my kids. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
They go to bed at night and they're trying to get to sleep | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
and all they hear is thud-thud-thud | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
and an occasional thud-thud... "GRRR!" | 0:01:41 | 0:01:45 | |
Number twos isn't the only record you're going for today? | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
No, it's not. I'm going for the most bull's-eyes or outer bulls. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
-I have -practised. Good. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:51 | |
Bearing in mind it took me about 17-and-a-half days to do it once. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
-I'm looking forward to seeing it. -I'm genuinely nervous and excited. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:58 | |
Here are the rules for the number twos record attempt. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
Only darts hitting these areas that score two point will be valid. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
That means the red double and triple zones will not count. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:09 | |
Lee must throw from the standard distance of 2.37 metres | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
from the dartboard | 0:02:13 | 0:02:15 | |
and the target for this brand-new world record | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
is 14 number twos in one minute. | 0:02:18 | 0:02:20 | |
Right, Lee, it's time for the record attempt. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
Are you sure you don't want to go for a number one? | 0:02:23 | 0:02:25 | |
I'm quite nervous but I think I'll be OK. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:27 | |
Three...two...one...go. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
KLAXON SOUNDS | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
'Yes... No! | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
'But that's two quick number twos already. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
'That's more than I usually manage in a whole day. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
'Lee can only use three darts for this attempt.' | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
He's lost a flight. That's going to add time on. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
'Fallen darts or dislodged flights will cost precious seconds.' | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
-Come on. -He's having a word with himself. Come on, Lee. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
Three...two...one....time. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
KLAXON SOUNDS | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
'Ooh, time's up. Did Lee hit enough number twos to claim the record?' | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
In order to get the record, | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
you needed 14 number twos in one minute. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
You achieved... | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
-13. -Recount! Recount! I want a recount! | 0:03:07 | 0:03:11 | |
I mean, never mind, these things happen. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:13 | |
'Attempt number two. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:14 | |
'Just relax, Lee, and the number twos will come naturally.' | 0:03:14 | 0:03:18 | |
A strong start. It's a Mack attack. Come on. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
'That's five valid darts so far. Oh, six!' | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
Going great guns at the moment. Come on, Lee. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:29 | |
'To take this record, | 0:03:29 | 0:03:30 | |
'Lee needs to land a successful dart roughly every four seconds. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:35 | |
'That's nine out of nine. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:37 | |
'The watching Mini Macks will be loving this. | 0:03:37 | 0:03:40 | |
'He's so close. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
'It's a real balancing act of speed against precision. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
'If he rushes too much, his accuracy could suffer.' | 0:03:45 | 0:03:48 | |
Five...four...three...two...one. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:53 | |
KLAXON SOUNDS | 0:03:53 | 0:03:54 | |
Ooh, right on the timer! | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
'Incredible accuracy delivered at great speed, | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
'but did he reach the target of 14?' | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
That attempt you achieved... | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
..18, which is a brand-new Guinness World Record! | 0:04:06 | 0:04:09 | |
'Take a breather, Lee. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:10 | |
'A far tougher challenge awaits you after Al and Haruka and...' | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
This is Wang Zhanjun, a master of the martial art of t'ai chi, which, | 0:04:23 | 0:04:29 | |
as you can see, focuses on internal power. | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
And that should help in his attempt to set a record for | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
the farthest distance flipping | 0:04:36 | 0:04:38 | |
a 2kg weight...with the stomach?! | 0:04:38 | 0:04:41 | |
They've even built a miniature long jump pit for him to flip it into. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
Impressive scenes. The target for this new world record is 65cms. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:51 | |
First, like all athletes, Wang must warm up. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
Whoa! what is going on here? | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
Is something trying to escape? | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
Amazing! And slightly disconcerting. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:07 | |
Remember, that thing weighed the same as two bags of sugar. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
That is what I call stomach-churning. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
How on earth did he do that? | 0:05:14 | 0:05:15 | |
No idea, but Wang's beguiling belly flipped that weight | 0:05:15 | 0:05:19 | |
a record-breaking distance of 98cms. | 0:05:19 | 0:05:23 | |
He really gave it some welly with his belly. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
Now the return of the Mack. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
Earlier, Lee Mack proved he's the world's number one at number twos, | 0:05:29 | 0:05:34 | |
but this comedian now faces a challenge that would daunt | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
even a professional darts player. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
This time, Lee must only land his darts in the inner and outer | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
bull's-eyes and the record to beat is 11 bulls-eyes in one minute. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:53 | |
Let's get darted. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:55 | |
Three...two...one...go! | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
Lee has played darts for years. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:00 | |
He's good, | 0:06:00 | 0:06:01 | |
but now he's aiming at a circle not much larger than a 50 pence piece. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:05 | |
This will not be easy. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:07 | |
Let's see how his first attempt went. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:10 | |
-That was just six. -So over halfway. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
Just six?! | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
'He's back out for another go | 0:06:15 | 0:06:18 | |
'but he's having a few problems with those flights.' | 0:06:18 | 0:06:21 | |
-Seven. -Right, heading in the right direction. | 0:06:21 | 0:06:24 | |
'The longer he plays, the more accurate he's becoming. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
'Will all those hours of late-night practice in his bedroom pay off?' | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
Nine bull's-eyes. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
-Ooh! Getting better, Lee. -Getting close. | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
-You feel it's coming on? -I feel... | 0:06:36 | 0:06:38 | |
Give me another 16 days. All I ask. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
'We don't have that long, Lee, but you were just two short. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
'You're so close. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
'Crack! Whack! Thwack! | 0:06:47 | 0:06:49 | |
'He's not slack. He's got the knack. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
'He won't crack and his name's not Jack. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:54 | |
'It's the Lee Mack darts attack. | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
'Ooh, that looked like a strong attempt. How did he do?' | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
11. You equalled the world record. | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
'Incredibly, he's equalled the record. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
'Can he go just one bull's-eye further and break it?' | 0:07:06 | 0:07:10 | |
Go. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:12 | |
'Two out of three. A solid start.' | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
Come on. This is pace. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:18 | |
'His eye's in. His arm's in. Come on, Lee, get those darts in.' | 0:07:18 | 0:07:22 | |
'A perfect set. That's five bulls in six throws.' | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
-Yes. -15 seconds. -Come on, Lee. Come on. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:33 | |
'Time is running out. Can he hold his nerve?' | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
Time. | 0:07:37 | 0:07:38 | |
'We've seen him equal this record. | 0:07:38 | 0:07:40 | |
'Has he now done the unthinkable and broken it?' | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
On that attempt, you achieved... | 0:07:43 | 0:07:45 | |
..12, which is a brand-new Guinness World Record! | 0:07:47 | 0:07:50 | |
Come on! Come on! | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
-Congratulations. -I'm genuinely delighted. Thank you so much. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
'Two records in one day and the Mini Macks are delighted. | 0:07:57 | 0:08:01 | |
'Now another record that requires skill, speed and real hunger.' | 0:08:01 | 0:08:06 | |
Once again, three superheroes with no superpowers clash in a bid | 0:08:18 | 0:08:22 | |
to find out who's best at breaking records you can try at home. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:27 | |
They are America's finest, US Ray. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:31 | |
Japan's finest, Mr Cherry. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
-And Britain's finest... -Wait, really?! -Of course! | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
Sizzling Steve! | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
This is Officially Competitive 3-D. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
Brought to you in glorious 2-D. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:46 | |
Last time out, Mr Cherry sharpened his way | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
to the top of the leaderboard. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:52 | |
Cherry! | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
And with four events left, anyone can still win. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:59 | |
Today is my kind of record. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:01 | |
Yeah, I'm afraid it's not as deliciously simple as it sounds, Al. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
They're not allowed to use their hands. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
Hands schmands, man! | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
'Oh, sorry you had to see this. It's both unhealthy and unseemly. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:15 | |
'Let's get to the team talks.' | 0:09:15 | 0:09:17 | |
How many have you eaten in preparation for this record attempt? | 0:09:17 | 0:09:21 | |
Er, one. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:22 | |
Why haven't you practised for this? | 0:09:22 | 0:09:24 | |
Cos I'm no good at it, Ben. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
Well, at least Steve's training won't affect his waistline. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
But how has Cherry-san fared? | 0:09:30 | 0:09:32 | |
Do you have any particular technique | 0:09:32 | 0:09:34 | |
that you're going to use today? | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
-TRANSLATION: -No, I'll start by surveying the doughnut, then... | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
HE SNORTS | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
HE GULPS | 0:09:44 | 0:09:48 | |
..I will consume it quickly | 0:09:48 | 0:09:50 | |
like a famished little piggy. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
A piggy that loves doughnuts. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
Well, good luck, Mr Cherry | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
and DOUGHNUT fail! | 0:09:56 | 0:09:58 | |
Well, that's one approach. How's Ray going to DOUGH it? | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
How do you fit doughnuts into your muscle-bound lifestyle? | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
-I just eat them faster. -Faster? | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
Yeah. More power, more energy. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:12 | |
That's the way you keep the weight off just eat faster? | 0:10:12 | 0:10:15 | |
-Go faster. Burns more calories. -I've never read or heard that. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:18 | |
Yep, that's because Ray's talking nonsense. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:22 | |
Keep the doughnut diet up, Ray, and your flipping days are numbered. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
Here are the rules. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
Doughnuts must be covered in sugar and have jam in the middle. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
The doughnut may not be touched with any body part except the mouth | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
and lips must not be licked. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:38 | |
And, to break the record, | 0:10:38 | 0:10:39 | |
our heroes must have eaten a full doughnut in less than 11.41 seconds. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:45 | |
I guess we can say a little dough-Ray-me. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
Hey! | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
Urgh, I wish you hadn't! | 0:10:50 | 0:10:53 | |
Three...two...one...go. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
Come on, Ray. Get in there, get in there. | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
Ray almost seems to be trying to | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
inhale the entire doughnut in one go. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:05 | |
Yes, no finesse, no style, just sheer jaw strength. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
That's all right, Ray. You do whatever you want to do. | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
No matter how disgusting. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:13 | |
Ray is doing his best to chomp that dough, | 0:11:13 | 0:11:15 | |
but it does not seem to be working. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
He seems to be hoarding the doughnut in his cheeks like some | 0:11:19 | 0:11:22 | |
kind of giant American hamster. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:25 | |
-Do you want to start chewing? -Mmm. | 0:11:25 | 0:11:27 | |
-If you're done, you're done. I think this is over. -Mmm. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:30 | |
All right. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
So Ray's tactic of putting the whole thing in his mouth at once | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
backfires and he can't eat it. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:38 | |
Don't try that at home. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
Come on Cherry-san. Go. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
Unlike Ray, Cherry is tearing off manageable chunks, | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
much like a lion feasting on the rump | 0:11:48 | 0:11:50 | |
of a large sugar-coated wildebeest. | 0:11:50 | 0:11:53 | |
But, just like Ray, he's struggling to swallow... | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
..and won't get close to that target of 11.41 seconds. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
Wait, did I see a little lick there? | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
Let's see that again. Oh, yes, look at that. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
A definite lip smack. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:12 | |
But did official adjudicator Shantha spot it? | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
I don't think he even knew he did it. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
That's the devious nature of this record. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
The doughnut is gone | 0:12:22 | 0:12:23 | |
but did that tempestuous tongue end his attempt? | 0:12:23 | 0:12:27 | |
So, with Ray out the running | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |
and Mr Cherry facing possible disqualification, | 0:12:29 | 0:12:32 | |
what does the Sizzler do now? | 0:12:32 | 0:12:34 | |
Does he, A, make an heroic attempt to annihilate the existing record? | 0:12:35 | 0:12:40 | |
Or B, just go for the points and eat very carefully and boringly | 0:12:41 | 0:12:44 | |
and hope that Shantha penalises Mr Cherry's tongue? | 0:12:44 | 0:12:48 | |
Sadly, it's option B. | 0:12:48 | 0:12:50 | |
That's a little against the spirit of Officially Competitive. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:55 | |
Sorry, but that's the advantage of going last. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
Shantha must closely inspect there's not even a teeny bit of tongue. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:04 | |
That cannot be pleasant. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:06 | |
We'll save you the pain of watching | 0:13:06 | 0:13:07 | |
the rest of Steve's laborious attempt and get to the results. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:12 | |
All right, guys, we didn't break a record, | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
but who got the all-important Officially Competitive point? | 0:13:14 | 0:13:18 | |
Two of the attempts were disqualified. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:23 | |
So Shantha did spot Cherry's lip-licking | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
and that Ray was rubbish. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:29 | |
So the winner, with the only valid attempt | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
and a time of three minutes and 14 seconds | 0:13:32 | 0:13:36 | |
is Steve. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
Yes! Come on! | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
Winning by default is surely the best way. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
Default! Default! Default! Default! | 0:13:45 | 0:13:48 | |
So Steve's healthy one-doughnut training paid off. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
Just be happy we didn't make you watch his whole attempt. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
I'm still having nightmares! | 0:13:55 | 0:13:57 | |
That puts Steve joint top with Mr Cherry. | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
