0:00:03 > 0:00:05Amazing!
0:00:05 > 0:00:06Ta-da!
0:00:06 > 0:00:08Welcome to Officially Amazing,
0:00:08 > 0:00:10your number one destination for
0:00:10 > 0:00:12rambunctious records from around the world.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Coming up on today's show...
0:00:16 > 0:00:18What on earth is this truck doing?
0:00:18 > 0:00:19And, more to the point, how?!
0:00:21 > 0:00:23Our unsuspecting competitors face
0:00:23 > 0:00:26a stupendously soggy secret surprise record.
0:00:26 > 0:00:28And most excitingly of all...
0:00:30 > 0:00:31# This is the return
0:00:31 > 0:00:32# Of the space cowboy... #
0:00:32 > 0:00:34..in...
0:00:37 > 0:00:38BOY SCREAMS
0:00:38 > 0:00:40BOY GROANS
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Back in series one, the Space Cowboy broke
0:00:43 > 0:00:45five preposterously perilous world records.
0:00:46 > 0:00:49Although he wasn't always that nice to me.
0:00:50 > 0:00:52CRASHING SOUND EFFECT
0:00:52 > 0:00:55But I am professional enough to welcome him back with
0:00:55 > 0:00:57open, if slightly resentful, arms.
0:00:57 > 0:01:00And Spacey hasn't lost his love for the ludicrously dangerous,
0:01:00 > 0:01:03as today, he will be attempting the record for...
0:01:06 > 0:01:07Of course he is!
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Which involves juggling this...
0:01:09 > 0:01:11while riding this.
0:01:11 > 0:01:12Space Cowboy, it is
0:01:12 > 0:01:15marvellous to have you back here on Officially Amazing.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17Thank you, it is good to be here.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18You are the current holder of this record,
0:01:18 > 0:01:20why are you trying to push it even further?
0:01:20 > 0:01:23You've got a chainsaw in it, for goodness' sake!
0:01:23 > 0:01:25I have an insatiable urge to just keep going
0:01:25 > 0:01:27and pushing myself as far as I can.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Up on a unicycle and throwing a chainsaw -
0:01:29 > 0:01:33how are you training to deal with something like that?
0:01:33 > 0:01:35The problem is, when you're riding a unicycle,
0:01:35 > 0:01:37every time you juggle the chainsaw, you catch it,
0:01:37 > 0:01:41and it's almost like the weight is throwing you off the unicycle.
0:01:41 > 0:01:45- So it is a challenge.- Good luck. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:01:45 > 0:01:46Here are the rules.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50Spacey must juggle with a running chainsaw and two other objects.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52He has chosen apples.
0:01:52 > 0:01:54He can't hold the chainsaw for longer than
0:01:54 > 0:01:56five seconds at a time.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58If he drops it, the attempt is over,
0:01:58 > 0:02:01and he must beat his own record of eight catches.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03- Mark, are you ready for this?- I am.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07- OK, I will leave it up to you then, sir.- Space Cowboy, in your own time.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10'The Space Cowboy has trained for years
0:02:10 > 0:02:12'and uses a specially adapted chainsaw.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15'Even so, I will need to employ my new red button.'
0:02:17 > 0:02:21This record is SO dangerous we have had to come outside
0:02:21 > 0:02:24the performance arena to give him enough throwing room.
0:02:24 > 0:02:28And we've got a paramedic on standby. He's called Dave.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32'Chainsaw's running...
0:02:32 > 0:02:33'I can hardly watch!'
0:02:34 > 0:02:36'And he's off!' Yay!
0:02:36 > 0:02:39'Two catches and still two hands attached - great start.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48'There are so many implausible skills on show here,
0:02:48 > 0:02:50'and yet he is making it look easy.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56'And look how much effort it takes just to throw the chainsaw
0:02:56 > 0:03:02'in the air, let alone catch it, with one hand, while on a unicycle!
0:03:05 > 0:03:07'Oh, no, is he losing balance?
0:03:08 > 0:03:11'He has stopped juggling, attempt over, but has he done it?'
0:03:11 > 0:03:15Space Cowboy, that was INCREDIBLE.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Do you feel there could have been a record there?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Eh, I was just concentrating on not catching the sharp, spinning end.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23- So you're not even sure yourself. - I've got my fingers crossed.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25Yeah, well, luckily not during the record.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26THEY LAUGH
0:03:26 > 0:03:30'What an incredible show of strength, dexterity and guts.
0:03:30 > 0:03:34'But has the Space Cowboy broken his own world record?'
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Was it a new world record? Mark?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39Well, in order to set a new record,
0:03:39 > 0:03:43you needed more than eight catches of the chainsaw on the unicycle.
0:03:43 > 0:03:45Today you achieved...
0:03:45 > 0:03:48ten, which is a brand-new Guinness World Records title!
0:03:48 > 0:03:51- Look at that! Brilliant! - That's amazing, thank you.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54'Space Cowboy? Ace Cowboy!
0:03:54 > 0:03:58'Ten catches means jugglingly jubilant scenes.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01'And as we all know, it is customary to celebrate
0:04:01 > 0:04:04'dangerous new world records via the medium of song.'

0:05:08 > 0:05:10Look at these trucks, Haruka,
0:05:10 > 0:05:13it's like a fantastic, diesel-fuelled ballet.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15CLASSICAL MUSIC
0:05:15 > 0:05:19What's the record - most demi-plies by an HGV?
0:05:19 > 0:05:23No, Al, we are in China to see trucker trickster Sun Jin Gua
0:05:23 > 0:05:25attempt the record for...
0:05:30 > 0:05:32Whoa! How does that work?
0:05:32 > 0:05:36Well, as these confusing graphics clearly show, Sun must drive
0:05:36 > 0:05:38through a gap only 1.1 metres
0:05:38 > 0:05:40wider than his truck,
0:05:40 > 0:05:43on two wheels and without touching the poles.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45It is not going to be easy.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Any last-minute advice from the show's host?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49A-woo!
0:05:49 > 0:05:52Stirring words. You can do it, son!
0:05:54 > 0:05:58And he is through! Let's just double-check the replay.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03- Yes!- A new world record at the first attempt.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- DUBBED:- Yeah, trucks rule!
0:06:06 > 0:06:11You can go home happy after this performance, Sun. Terrific trucking!
0:06:11 > 0:06:15Hold it right there, Haruka. News just in - Sun's not finished yet.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18He lives by the trucker's code -
0:06:21 > 0:06:24He is taking the gap down to one metre.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25Unbelievable!
0:06:31 > 0:06:33He has done it! An even newer world record.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37Truck-tastic scenes!
0:06:37 > 0:06:40- Whew, I need a lie down.- Well, you can't have one. It's time for...
0:06:43 > 0:06:45APPLAUSE
0:06:49 > 0:06:50- BOY:- Uh-oh.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53AUDIENCE MURMUR AND HE SIGHS
0:06:53 > 0:06:57Sizzling Steve, US Ray and Mr Cherry.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59Three champions united in competition,
0:06:59 > 0:07:03attempting world records that you can try at home.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05This is...
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Last time, Steve's natural-born affinity with dice saw him claim
0:07:14 > 0:07:17a second victory, propelling our
0:07:17 > 0:07:19unlikely hero into an early lead.
0:07:19 > 0:07:24And he's the only competitor to have claimed a world record so far.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27But that could all change with today's secret challenge.
0:07:29 > 0:07:33If nerves were a problem for multi-record-holding superstars,
0:07:33 > 0:07:36then this place would be awash with flatulence right now,
0:07:36 > 0:07:40because today, our competitors are facing the first of
0:07:40 > 0:07:42our secret world record challenges.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45A secret record means our competitors have...
0:07:49 > 0:07:52However, I have been told that a clue lies underneath
0:07:52 > 0:07:54this mysterious and rather snazzy red cloth.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56So, shall we lift it off and see what's underneath?
0:07:56 > 0:07:57THEY AGREE
0:07:57 > 0:07:59OK...
0:08:03 > 0:08:05What's going on?
0:08:05 > 0:08:07'Helmets adorned with spiky balls?'
0:08:07 > 0:08:10'Mm, a record that's both safety-conscious
0:08:10 > 0:08:13'and extremely dangerous - what could it be?'
0:08:13 > 0:08:15I have-a no idea.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18'Even the great man is confused,
0:08:18 > 0:08:22'but the answer lies outside the bunker, and it's...
0:08:22 > 0:08:23'water balloons?!'
0:08:23 > 0:08:26The fastest time to burst ten water balloons with the head,
0:08:26 > 0:08:30blindfolded, and it's a team-of-two record.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34'So, Al, Ben and I have to guide
0:08:34 > 0:08:36'the blindfolded competitors as they
0:08:36 > 0:08:38'burst water balloons with their heads.'
0:08:38 > 0:08:40'Cue emergency team meetings.'
0:08:40 > 0:08:42How do you feel about our strategy today?
0:08:42 > 0:08:43Our strategy is great.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46OK, what do you think separates our strategy from everybody else?
0:08:46 > 0:08:47It's the...
0:08:47 > 0:08:49It's the winning strategy, th-that's what's
0:08:49 > 0:08:51going to separate us.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Ohh, a WINNING strategy? Clear as mud(!)
0:08:54 > 0:08:57What kind of instructions would you like me to...?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I'm going to say bark, because I know you're a dog man.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01What would you like me to bark at you
0:09:01 > 0:09:03as you are going down the water balloon line?
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- I think just bark when you want me to jump, basically.- OK.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- So I will make dog sounds and you will do dog actions?- Yes.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12Excellent, good boy.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14Team UK have gone barking mad!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Time for Team Japan to talk some sense.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19So, Cherry-san...
0:09:19 > 0:09:21- Hi.- ..are you feeling confident? Tell me.
0:09:21 > 0:09:22HE SPEAKS JAPANESE
0:09:22 > 0:09:25- DUBBED:- 'Course I'm confident, I'm wearing a Japan helmet!
0:09:25 > 0:09:26OK!
0:09:26 > 0:09:30Cherry is ready to jump to it. Let's get the rules.
0:09:30 > 0:09:33The water balloons must be suspended one metre apart.
0:09:33 > 0:09:35They must all be fully burst.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39And guidance may only be given by verbal commands.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43Ten balloons burst in 40 seconds and it is a new world record.
0:09:43 > 0:09:46Three illustrious sporting teams,
0:09:46 > 0:09:49ten water balloons hanging between each of us and glory.
0:09:49 > 0:09:51Are you ready?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- Yes.- Go!
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Let the balloon-bursting battle begin.
0:09:56 > 0:09:57Go!
0:09:57 > 0:09:59HARUKA SPEAKS JAPANESE
0:10:01 > 0:10:04'Mr Cherry is off to a terrible start!'
0:10:05 > 0:10:09'So is Steve! He's pierced the first balloon but it hasn't burst!
0:10:09 > 0:10:12'It won't count!'
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Ohh, I think move on, Steve, it is too flow-y.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18'Too flow-y? What kind of instruction is that?
0:10:18 > 0:10:22'This is how winners do it, Shires.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25'There is no danger of half-popped balloons from Ray.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27'He is eviscerating them.'
0:10:27 > 0:10:28All right, keep going.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30Not that one he hasn't.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32There you go, good.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33'Look at him jump.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36'He is like a kangaroo on a pogo stick on a trampoline!'
0:10:39 > 0:10:41HARUKA SPEAKS JAPANESE
0:10:41 > 0:10:42HARUKA SCREAMS
0:10:42 > 0:10:45'Oh, and the bone-chilling screams from Team Japan tell us
0:10:45 > 0:10:48'Cherry has finally burst a balloon.'
0:10:48 > 0:10:50HARUKA CONTINUES SCREAMING
0:10:50 > 0:10:52No! No!
0:10:52 > 0:10:55'Team Japan not enjoying their ice-cold showers.'
0:10:55 > 0:10:57'And now Cherry has sprung a leak.'
0:10:58 > 0:11:01'This is a disaster! The leaky balloon
0:11:01 > 0:11:04'is getting too small to hit.'
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- DUBBED:- Haruka, love, what ARE you doing?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10'No such problems for Ray, look at him go.'
0:11:10 > 0:11:12There we go, all right.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14'That head-waggling technique is total genius.'
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- 'Popping poetry in motion!'- Jump.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21Yes.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24'Meanwhile, Steve's tiny, robotic steps are providing great accuracy.'
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Yes.
0:11:27 > 0:11:30'Beautiful.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33'Come on, Sizzler, you dampened dreamboat.'
0:11:33 > 0:11:35Yay, oh... Yes!
0:11:36 > 0:11:39'Majestic scenes.'
0:11:39 > 0:11:41SERENE CLASSICAL MUSIC
0:11:41 > 0:11:44'Majestic but disastrous.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47'They've all been going for over three minutes.'
0:11:48 > 0:11:53- Ah!- 'And it's gone from disaster to catastrophe for Cherry.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55'He has failed to fully burst another balloon -
0:11:55 > 0:11:57'he will be penalised for that.'
0:11:57 > 0:12:01'My man Ray has got to the final balloon, but there's a problem.'
0:12:01 > 0:12:03'Without the others weighing the line down,
0:12:03 > 0:12:06'balloon ten has gone way above the minimum height.
0:12:06 > 0:12:08'It will need a superhuman leap.'
0:12:11 > 0:12:15'So close! Incredible elevation.'
0:12:15 > 0:12:18'And Sizzler's also stuck!'
0:12:18 > 0:12:22Ohh, it's so high, you may as well be charging at me head-first.
0:12:22 > 0:12:24All right, Steve, you're nowhere near,
0:12:24 > 0:12:26can we call a stop to this charade?
0:12:26 > 0:12:29Well done, Steve.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32THEY SPEAK JAPANESE
0:12:32 > 0:12:36'I'm telling Cherry that he's done very badly indeed.'
0:12:36 > 0:12:39'Ray composes himself for one final leap.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45'Such grace, such incredible hang time.'
0:12:47 > 0:12:51'Oh, he just grazed it! What an effort!'
0:12:51 > 0:12:53ALL: Ohh!
0:12:53 > 0:12:55APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:12:55 > 0:12:56'But in the end,
0:12:56 > 0:13:01'that untouchable final balloon is too much even for Ray.'
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- It's an unpleasant balloon.- Rrr!
0:13:03 > 0:13:06So, every team fails to complete the course,
0:13:06 > 0:13:10taking more than five minutes each NOT to do it.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13Well, thrilling scenes in the secret record that took so long,
0:13:13 > 0:13:14the sun has set.
0:13:14 > 0:13:17Tell me, did anyone burst ten balloons
0:13:17 > 0:13:18in the 40-second time limit,
0:13:18 > 0:13:21therefore getting a new world record?
0:13:21 > 0:13:24- No, they didn't. - I suspected as much.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27However, I am hopeful that there is still someone who has gained
0:13:27 > 0:13:29a competitive point.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32The person who burst the most balloons without incurring
0:13:32 > 0:13:33any penalties...
0:13:33 > 0:13:34was Ray.
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Woo, yeah!
0:13:36 > 0:13:39'Ecstatic scenes from Team USA,
0:13:39 > 0:13:42'as they win their first points, by default.'
0:13:42 > 0:13:45So, how does that affect the scores?
0:13:45 > 0:13:47Ray is in back in the race - yeah!
0:13:47 > 0:13:52But Lethal Sizzle clings on to that top spot like a stubborn stain.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53But for how much longer?
0:13:53 > 0:13:58It's impossible to predict with revolutionary records like these.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01# Well, way up in the skies we saw something unwise
