0:00:02 > 0:00:05# Officially, officially, officially amazing. #
0:00:05 > 0:00:06Ha!
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Looks like Ben's too busy screaming to tell you
0:00:28 > 0:00:29what's on today's show,
0:00:29 > 0:00:30so I'll do it.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Just what are these guys volunteering for?
0:00:38 > 0:00:40And there's a tactile test for our trio of
0:00:40 > 0:00:42world record connoisseurs.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Dice.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Now, back to Shires.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52Urgh! Argh!
0:00:52 > 0:00:54HE LAUGHS Brr!
0:00:54 > 0:00:55HE SIGHS SHE GIGGLES
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Meet Dan Rowan and Liam Mellott -
0:00:58 > 0:01:02two of the best professional aquabike stunt riders in Europe.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06They're capable of performing incredible tricks.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11They can flip!
0:01:12 > 0:01:13They can fly!
0:01:14 > 0:01:16And they can...
0:01:16 > 0:01:18Whoa! They can do whatever that was!
0:01:20 > 0:01:23Today, Dan and Liam will be going head-to-head
0:01:23 > 0:01:26as they both attempt to break the world record for the...
0:01:33 > 0:01:38How many barrel rolls are we hoping for in this two-minute segment?
0:01:38 > 0:01:40- I think the record is 12.- Yeah.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Got a number of 30 in my head.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46- That's a big leap from 12! - That's optimistic,
0:01:46 > 0:01:48- but I'll stay positive.- Yeah.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50I mean, is it a friendly rivalry or once you get on the water
0:01:50 > 0:01:52is it every man for himself?
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- We'll see.- Oh, I'd say friends!
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Well, hang on, it doesn't work if one says friendly
0:01:57 > 0:01:58and the other says not.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01I was going for a friendly rivalry today.
0:02:01 > 0:02:02- Good luck.- Thank you very much.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04- Thank you.- Cheers.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06This is what a barrel roll looks like.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09The bike launches into the air
0:02:09 > 0:02:11and performs a 360 degree rotation
0:02:11 > 0:02:12in a corkscrew motion
0:02:12 > 0:02:14before landing.
0:02:15 > 0:02:18Only complete 360 degree rotations,
0:02:18 > 0:02:20where the aquabike sweeps
0:02:20 > 0:02:21above the rider,
0:02:21 > 0:02:23will count towards the total.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25The record to beat is
0:02:25 > 0:02:2712 barrel rolls in two minutes.
0:02:28 > 0:02:31And remember, these highly trained professionals
0:02:31 > 0:02:34only ride these high-powered specialised bikes
0:02:34 > 0:02:36in safe areas.
0:02:36 > 0:02:37Liam's up first.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43THAT is some wondrous water wizardry!
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Oh, ho, ho! That is good!
0:02:47 > 0:02:48'It looks amazing!
0:02:50 > 0:02:53'But remember, if the aquabike isn't fully above Liam,
0:02:53 > 0:02:54'the roll won't count.'
0:02:58 > 0:03:00So beautiful to watch,
0:03:00 > 0:03:01but pretty tough to do.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03'Liam's aquabike is out of commission,
0:03:03 > 0:03:05'so he's been forced to ride Dan's.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08'That makes this attempt even harder!
0:03:08 > 0:03:10'But it's not stopping him from twisting and flipping
0:03:10 > 0:03:13'like some sort of motorised performing dolphin!'
0:03:13 > 0:03:14Oh, lovely!
0:03:14 > 0:03:16HORN BLARES
0:03:16 > 0:03:17Hey!
0:03:17 > 0:03:20'An incredible effort on an unfamiliar bike from Liam.
0:03:21 > 0:03:22'Can Dan do better?'
0:03:24 > 0:03:25Here he comes.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30'It's 12 barrel rolls to break the record,
0:03:30 > 0:03:33'but Dan stridently told us he's aiming to roll 30 times
0:03:33 > 0:03:35'in two minutes!
0:03:35 > 0:03:38'Clearly, for Dan, records aren't there to be broken -
0:03:38 > 0:03:40'they're there to be savagely pulverised!
0:03:41 > 0:03:43'Take a look at that!
0:03:43 > 0:03:45'Absolutely first-class aquabatics!'
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- He looks like he's tiring, doesn't he?- Yeah.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56'And who can blame him?
0:03:56 > 0:03:59'This aquabike weighs around 150 kilos.'
0:04:01 > 0:04:02Come on, Dan!
0:04:04 > 0:04:06- Come on, Dan!- One more! - One more!
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Time. HORN BLARES
0:04:07 > 0:04:09That's it, that's time!
0:04:09 > 0:04:12'Well, that was both wet and wild.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16'But have either of our aquabats performed 12 or more barrel rolls
0:04:16 > 0:04:18'to set a new world record?'
0:04:19 > 0:04:23OK, it was the big 360 barrel roll battle
0:04:23 > 0:04:25that no-one dared to call,
0:04:25 > 0:04:27but now, we have a result.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Mark, how did they get on?
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Liam went first. In his attempt, he managed nine flips...
0:04:34 > 0:04:35SIGHS
0:04:35 > 0:04:38..but only three of them would have counted as barrel rolls
0:04:38 > 0:04:40- as stipulated in our rules.- Sure.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43'That unfamiliar bike may have cost Liam,
0:04:43 > 0:04:48'but how about Dan, who performed so stylishly on his own machine?'
0:04:48 > 0:04:51Dan, in your attempt, again, a number were disqualified
0:04:51 > 0:04:54for not being full barrel rolls.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56In order to get the record you needed 12.
0:04:56 > 0:04:58And you achieved...
0:05:00 > 0:05:02..15. THEY CHEER AND APPLAUD
0:05:02 > 0:05:04That's a brand-new Guinness World Records title!
0:05:04 > 0:05:06Excellent! Really, really strong.
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Well done.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10'It may not have been the 30 rolls Dan was aiming for,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13'but he still crushed the record.
0:05:13 > 0:05:14'Incredible!'
0:05:14 > 0:05:15Congratulations.
0:05:15 > 0:05:18THEY CHEER
0:05:18 > 0:05:20Now, over to Al and Haruka for something...
0:05:24 > 0:05:25Oh!
0:05:25 > 0:05:27HE SCREAMS
0:05:27 > 0:05:29SHE SIGHS
0:05:31 > 0:05:34Welcome to Spain for an unusual world record.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37It's Annetta v Irena.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Or, Annette vs Irene.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43First, they need some willing volunteers from the audience.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45Oh, they all look smart.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Maybe it's a kissing record!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49I guess it could be.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- Irene's up first.- Wait, what?
0:05:51 > 0:05:52What's she doing?
0:05:52 > 0:05:53Whoa!
0:05:53 > 0:05:54HE SCREAMS
0:05:54 > 0:05:57What did he do to deserve that?
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Is this what's classed as kissing in Europe?
0:05:59 > 0:06:01HE SCREAMS
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Uh, according to the script, it's the...
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Too late to back out now, boys! HE SCREAMS
0:06:09 > 0:06:12And even if they tried, I don't think she'd let them!
0:06:12 > 0:06:13So, the rules -
0:06:13 > 0:06:17each person must weigh at least 60kg.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Each person must be held aloft with arms fully extended
0:06:20 > 0:06:23for two seconds before they are thrown away.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24To their doom!
0:06:24 > 0:06:26And the target for this new record
0:06:26 > 0:06:28is ten slams.
0:06:28 > 0:06:29Come on, Irene!
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Ooh, I love that song!
0:06:31 > 0:06:33MUSIC: Come on Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Wow, this is tenuous, even for us!
0:06:37 > 0:06:38HE SCREAMS
0:06:38 > 0:06:40So, that's an astonishing ten men
0:06:40 > 0:06:41flung to the floor!
0:06:43 > 0:06:47Now, can Annetta do better and slam more man?
0:06:47 > 0:06:49Three, two, one,
0:06:49 > 0:06:50go.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53First man is up...
0:06:53 > 0:06:55and dispatched with style.
0:06:55 > 0:06:56HE SCREAMS
0:06:56 > 0:06:58She's like a quality control officer
0:06:58 > 0:07:00and everything's getting rejected!
0:07:00 > 0:07:02She's a man-moving machine.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03HE SCREAMS
0:07:03 > 0:07:05- Another one eats floor! - HE SCREAMS
0:07:05 > 0:07:09These guys won't volunteer for anything ever again!
0:07:09 > 0:07:12And that's 12 men hurled into oblivion
0:07:12 > 0:07:14for an even newer world record,
0:07:14 > 0:07:18and here's our host making sure that Irene knows
0:07:18 > 0:07:20she has come second.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21Yep, second, SECOND
0:07:21 > 0:07:23out of two.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25I think she's got it now.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27Congratulations, Annette!
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Your prize is to lift a woman over your head.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Europe is weird.
0:07:32 > 0:07:33And now...
0:07:36 > 0:07:37DRUMROLL
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Hmm. - DRUMROLL
0:07:40 > 0:07:41- A-ha!- Eh?
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Urgh.
0:07:42 > 0:07:43DRUMROLL
0:07:43 > 0:07:46- Aah!- Aah!
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Three of the world's greatest athletes ever, possibly,
0:07:50 > 0:07:54have gathered once more to break records you can try at home.
0:07:54 > 0:07:58From the fragrant Far East, it's Mr Cherry!
0:07:58 > 0:08:02From the Wild West, by which I mean modern-day America,
0:08:02 > 0:08:04it's US Ray!
0:08:04 > 0:08:08And from Britain, somewhere, it's Sizzlin' Steve.
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Now for another epic record-breaking battle in...
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Last time out, the Sizzy Rascal tooted his way
0:08:22 > 0:08:25to a first world record of the series.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29He's now level with two-time champ Cherry after two events.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34Can US Ray get off the mark today and make it a three-way tie?
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Today's record requires speed,
0:08:38 > 0:08:40nifty fingers and one of our favourite bits
0:08:40 > 0:08:42of record-breaking equipment.
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Cherry-san?
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Have a dice day!
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Yes, it's the thrilling test of dice based numeracy
0:08:49 > 0:08:51that the world has been waiting for,
0:08:51 > 0:08:53as our heroes attempt the record for...
0:08:58 > 0:09:02Before battle commences, it's time for a chat.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04So, Steve, the Dice Man, at some stage,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07you've held ten world records associated with dice.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10I mean, they're something of a specialist subject, right?
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- That's correct.- There's a blindfold element as well.- Yeah.
0:09:12 > 0:09:16So, how does that impact on you attempting the record?
0:09:16 > 0:09:19Well, of course, it makes it harder cos I can't see the dice.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Right. - But I know how a dice works.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23And how does it work?
0:09:23 > 0:09:25You pick it up and roll it.
0:09:25 > 0:09:28So, the Sizzle is at one with the dizzle.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30US Ray, less so.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33Last year, you kind of let America down on your dice challenge.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35See, what had happened...
0:09:35 > 0:09:36I mean, it was terrible.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Yes, even though the target was 11 dice
0:09:39 > 0:09:40stacked on the back of his hand,
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Ray stacked three then stopped.
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Ha!
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- I mean, but see...- It was awful.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Are you ready to exorcize your dice demons today?
0:09:49 > 0:09:50I'm ready.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Let's do this! - BOOM
0:09:52 > 0:09:55Sorry, Ray, the dice are not your friends.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57They prefer Mr Cherry!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59Is it all about touch
0:09:59 > 0:10:03or will any other senses play a part?
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- TRANSLATION:- Yes, I'll try to feel
0:10:05 > 0:10:08the texture of the dice with my fingers.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11Remember when you guessed fruit while you were wearing a blindfold?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13You were right good at that and
0:10:13 > 0:10:15it's much the same principle here.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17Dice is easy!
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Dice.
0:10:21 > 0:10:23Wise words.
0:10:23 > 0:10:24Here are the rules.
0:10:24 > 0:10:27Our mighty challengers must be blindfolded.
0:10:27 > 0:10:29The dice must be shaken before the attempt begins
0:10:29 > 0:10:33and the target for this new record is to have all six dice
0:10:33 > 0:10:36in numerical order in 20 seconds.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40Six blind dice, see how they run.
0:10:40 > 0:10:44Or, in this case, see how they get numerically ordered.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47Cherry-san, do you have anything to say before we start?
0:10:47 > 0:10:48Dice!
0:10:48 > 0:10:49'Short and sweet from
0:10:49 > 0:10:51'the great man this time.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52'He's fully focused.'
0:10:52 > 0:10:53- Go! - HORN BLARES
0:10:54 > 0:10:59'Mr Cherry's fingertips are highly developed and finely tuned.'
0:10:59 > 0:11:03'Yes, it's mesmerising to see them glide delicately over the die
0:11:03 > 0:11:06'to expertly explore these tiny cubes of fate.'
0:11:08 > 0:11:11'He started with number one and he's working his way up to six.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14'Fascinating tactics.'
0:11:15 > 0:11:18'He's nearly there! Come on, Mr Cherry!
0:11:18 > 0:11:19'Find that five!
0:11:19 > 0:11:20'Find that five! Find that...'
0:11:20 > 0:11:21LOUD BANG
0:11:21 > 0:11:23'Three?!'
0:11:23 > 0:11:26'Shock waves reverberate through the bunker.'
0:11:26 > 0:11:27Ooh. Oh, oh, oh.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29'How will the great man cope?'
0:11:29 > 0:11:30Japanese OK.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34'Cherry might think it's OK in Japan,
0:11:34 > 0:11:36'but those dice are not in proper numerical order
0:11:36 > 0:11:39'and his attempt will not count.
0:11:39 > 0:11:43'Can Steve, AKA Dr Dice, take advantage and win again?
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Let's get ready to fumble!
0:11:45 > 0:11:47- Go! - HORN BLARES
0:11:49 > 0:11:51LOUD BANG
0:11:51 > 0:11:53'Oh, pure precision from the Sizzler.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56'He won't be making the same schoolboy error as Mr Cherry.'
0:11:58 > 0:12:00'Look at him, completely at one with his
0:12:00 > 0:12:04'favourite record-breaking apparatus - the dice.'
0:12:06 > 0:12:09'Yes, the Sizzler's dice dexterity strikes fear
0:12:09 > 0:12:12'into dice record competitors across the globe.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16'It's a privilege to see the man work those tiny cubes.'
0:12:19 > 0:12:20LOUD BANG
0:12:20 > 0:12:23'His dice dabbling digits have done it again.'
0:12:23 > 0:12:25'Six dice ordered correctly.
0:12:25 > 0:12:26'Bang.'
0:12:26 > 0:12:29- Ooh.- Get in there, you Sizzly wonder!
0:12:29 > 0:12:31Excellent stuff!
0:12:31 > 0:12:35So, Ray must get those dice in order and do it faster than Steve.
0:12:35 > 0:12:39Remember, 20 seconds is the target for a world record.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Go! - HORN BLARES
0:12:41 > 0:12:45'Can Ray finally exorcize his dicey demons?'
0:12:45 > 0:12:47'Of course he can! Ray's a competitor.'
0:12:49 > 0:12:51LOUD BANG
0:12:51 > 0:12:55'Yeah, if only he could find the number three on that one, eh?'
0:12:55 > 0:12:58'Perhaps there's no number three on it.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00'This might take a while.'
0:13:00 > 0:13:04'Look, maybe Ray's taking too long, way too long,
0:13:04 > 0:13:06'but accuracy is the crucial thing here.'
0:13:09 > 0:13:11'And that's it! Excellent work, Ray.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13'All six dice in a...
0:13:13 > 0:13:14'Oh, no.'
0:13:17 > 0:13:18'Total disaster!
0:13:18 > 0:13:21'A five instead of a three!'
0:13:21 > 0:13:25'So, he's also disqualified and the Sizzler wins again!
0:13:25 > 0:13:28'The only question now is whether he broke that
0:13:28 > 0:13:30'magical 20-second target
0:13:30 > 0:13:32'to set the world record!'
0:13:32 > 0:13:34Steve, you managed a time...
