0:00:06 > 0:00:09Welcome to Officially Amazing,
0:00:09 > 0:00:11the show that features some of the craziest,
0:00:11 > 0:00:13fastest and most dangerous record
0:00:13 > 0:00:15attempts the world has to offer.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Speaking of which, check out the new Shires-mobile,
0:00:18 > 0:00:20it's pretty much the quickest thing...
0:00:20 > 0:00:22Wow! Wow there!
0:00:22 > 0:00:24Road hog!
0:00:24 > 0:00:25Right, whilst I go chase him down,
0:00:25 > 0:00:29why don't you check out what's coming up on today's show?
0:00:29 > 0:00:32Engine turbo-ised.
0:00:32 > 0:00:34ENGINE MAKES FART SOUND
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Why is this guy dancing with dough?
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Plus, table tennis,
0:00:46 > 0:00:49only without tables or anything resembling tennis.
0:00:49 > 0:00:53But first, the speedy return of an old friend.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02We're here at this former United States Air Force base
0:01:02 > 0:01:06because we need its runway for something a little bit special.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08It's a super speedy record attempt,
0:01:08 > 0:01:13involving an old friend of our and this incredible machine!
0:01:13 > 0:01:18Yes, it's Colin Furze - the fearless inventor who broke the world record
0:01:18 > 0:01:22for the fastest pram on the first ever episode of Officially Amazing!
0:01:24 > 0:01:28Now, Colin's back with this fire-burping monster of a
0:01:28 > 0:01:31machine for an extremely dangerous record attempt.
0:01:36 > 0:01:38Well, he looks confident...sort of.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Colin, it's great to see you again and back with, well, another
0:01:41 > 0:01:43ridiculous contraption.
0:01:43 > 0:01:46Well, it looks great but can it do the thing that it needs to do?
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Normally, I have a rough idea and I feel a bit of confidence and think,
0:01:49 > 0:01:52"Yeah, its going to do that." Not a clue today!
0:01:52 > 0:01:55- Wow! Well, Colin, I'm going to leave you to get her fired up.- Cool.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56Here are the rules.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00The vehicle must have go-kart sized wheels
0:02:00 > 0:02:03and be powered by a jet engine.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05The speed must be measured by a speed trap
0:02:05 > 0:02:07and to break this new record,
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Colin's contraption must travel faster than 71mph.
0:02:12 > 0:02:16This is a genuinely dangerous record attempt.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Colin will be in full safety gear and paramedics are on standby.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23Do not try anything like this at home...
0:02:23 > 0:02:26should you have a jet engine in your shed.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27Colin's on the start line.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32Go, go, go-kart!
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Furze's fire breathing fire cracker is scorching down that runway!
0:02:46 > 0:02:50Colin's onboard speedometer shows he's less than ten miles per
0:02:50 > 0:02:52hour short of the target.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54He's tantalisingly close.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02But oh, no, that looked like some kind of engine misfire!
0:03:02 > 0:03:06Yes, he's slowing down and as he's crossing the finish line
0:03:06 > 0:03:10the speed camera clocks him at just 14.31 miles per hour.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Didn't quite look 71mph to me.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19No, it cut out. I over-gassed it halfway and then the engine cut.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21Well, you are known for your over-gassing.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23So, I think we'll give it
0:03:23 > 0:03:25- another go.- Yes, that's the spirit.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Off you go. Let's get a record this time.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30Furze goes forth once more.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33Can his home-grown greased lightning go-kart bring him yet another
0:03:33 > 0:03:35world record?
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Just listen to that power!
0:03:38 > 0:03:42That's an actual jet engine strapped to the cart
0:03:42 > 0:03:46and Colin is protected from that glowing red-hot pipe by a small
0:03:46 > 0:03:48but effective heat shield.
0:03:48 > 0:03:51Passed 60mph now. He's close!
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Here's what it would look like if you were somehow
0:03:54 > 0:03:57perched on Colin's head, pointing backwards.
0:03:57 > 0:03:59Pretty terrifying!
0:03:59 > 0:04:04Wow! That's why they call it a go-kart and not a slow-cart.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07He's over the line but does he have the record?
0:04:09 > 0:04:11For the record you'd need 71mph.
0:04:11 > 0:04:15That was 61.06 miles per hour.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- So, we need 10mph. Has it got it- in it?
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Well, I think there's a couple of things we can do to it.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22So, I'm not giving up yet.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- OK, excellent.- So, we'll have another go and see if we
0:04:24 > 0:04:26can find that mystery 10mph.
0:04:26 > 0:04:30Will Colin's hopes and dreams catch fire or go up in smoke?
0:04:30 > 0:04:31We'll find out after this.
0:04:42 > 0:04:47Hiya, we are four guys who think pizza dough is magic!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- Pizza dough.- Pizza dough.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51We're in China to see a world record attempt...
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Look at these guys! They're like some kind of pizza-based boy band!
0:04:58 > 0:05:00What are they called?
0:05:05 > 0:05:09Actually, Al, they just work in a Korean pizza shop called Mr Pizza.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Oh...
0:05:11 > 0:05:13But they are bringing rock and roll
0:05:13 > 0:05:15to the world of bread based fast food!
0:05:15 > 0:05:17I guess.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Let's get the rules.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24The pizza base must be in contact with the body at all times,
0:05:24 > 0:05:28as it's rolled across the shoulders and the record to beat is 37 rolls.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33And that is a delicious looking pizza!
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Two, one...go!
0:05:37 > 0:05:38And we're off!
0:05:40 > 0:05:43He's like a turbo-charged Korean Harry Potter.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45You're a pizza wizard, Harry!
0:05:45 > 0:05:47A stuffed crust sorcerer.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49A calzone conjurer.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51CLAXON SOUNDS
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Time's up. Did he beat 37 rolls?
0:05:54 > 0:05:56No, just 26.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Bad luck, Harry.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Back you go to Pizza Hogwarts.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02Here comes his band-mate.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06- Just two of them are attempting the record today.- Pizza dough!
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Like with most boy bands, half of them are only there to look nice.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Al, where's that pizza gone?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I don't know...mmm-mmmm!
0:06:15 > 0:06:17Two, one...go!
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Just watch him throw that dough, Al!
0:06:22 > 0:06:24He's going so fast,
0:06:24 > 0:06:27he's starting to make one of the hosts feel a bit dizzy.
0:06:27 > 0:06:29He's fast!
0:06:29 > 0:06:31CLAXON SOUNDS
0:06:31 > 0:06:34But was he fast enough to beat that target of 37 rolls?
0:06:38 > 0:06:40Oh, no, he's fallen just short!
0:06:40 > 0:06:44All that delicious dough - ruined for nothing!
0:06:44 > 0:06:48- There's only one word for that, Haruka.- What?- Doh!
0:06:48 > 0:06:49Back to Ben.
0:06:49 > 0:06:53So far, Colin Furze's fire squirting go-kart has fallen
0:06:53 > 0:06:57short of the 71mph needed for a new world record.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59This will be the third
0:06:59 > 0:07:03and final chance for Britain's brave answer to the Batmobile.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Come on, Colin!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Come on!
0:07:09 > 0:07:11Colin's made some technical tweaks
0:07:11 > 0:07:15and thinks they'll be enough to give him the extra power he needs.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20The early signs are good, this could be it!
0:07:22 > 0:07:27But no, he's signalling to call it off, the engine keeps cutting out.
0:07:28 > 0:07:33Sadly, it's back to the lab, well, shed, for Colin's chariot of fire.
0:07:33 > 0:07:36Colin, it still looked great, though, You must be pleased?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Well, it looks good and it's an awesome machine
0:07:38 > 0:07:42but just a little bit of tinkering, I might be back here again.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45Still a fantastic effort and still, come on, officially amazing!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Put there, boy, put there!
0:07:47 > 0:07:51And so Colin pootles home, probably dreaming up his next invention.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53How about a jet-propelled ping pong ball?
0:08:05 > 0:08:10With the two failures so far today, the pressure to deliver some record
0:08:10 > 0:08:15breaking glory rests firmly on the shoulders of our three icons.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20They are many people's favourite, Japan's Mr Cherry!
0:08:20 > 0:08:25Many other people's favourite, America's US Ray.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28And his mum's favourite, our own Sizzling Steve.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31This is...
0:08:36 > 0:08:40Shock waves are still reverberating around the bunker the triple
0:08:40 > 0:08:45disqualification in the plastic cup pyramid challenge last time out.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48No completed pyramids meant no points and the scoreboard was
0:08:48 > 0:08:50stuck in limbo...
0:08:50 > 0:08:52until today.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56Speed, stamina, balance, dexterity, all things that I posses
0:08:56 > 0:08:59in abundance and the kind of skills that our heroes are going
0:08:59 > 0:09:02to need to demonstrate today if they want to compete in
0:09:02 > 0:09:04the record for the...
0:09:07 > 0:09:09First, the team talks.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11What?!
0:09:11 > 0:09:14So, Steve, let's look at your ping pong skills. First things first,
0:09:14 > 0:09:16can you play the game?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18- Yes, I'm quite good at it, actually.- Really?
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- And how important is that in this record attempt.- Not at all.
0:09:21 > 0:09:25Meanwhile, it seems Cherry's preparations have been
0:09:25 > 0:09:26a little traumatic.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29How has your ping pong training been?
0:09:32 > 0:09:34- TRANSLATION:- Practice has not gone very well.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36During training, I accidentally hit
0:09:36 > 0:09:38myself in the face with bat.
0:09:38 > 0:09:39I had a cracking nose bleed.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42I looked silly!
0:09:42 > 0:09:44Good luck, Mr Cherry.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46Yes! Ping pong.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Sorry, Cherry but this is an athlete's record and this
0:09:52 > 0:09:53is an athlete!
0:09:53 > 0:09:55How's your training going?
0:09:55 > 0:09:56Training's going outstanding.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58We know you have the speed.
0:09:58 > 0:09:59Once you balance and you've
0:09:59 > 0:10:01centred it out, smooth sailing.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03Ping pong, it's on!
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- Boom!- US Ray!
0:10:05 > 0:10:08Thoughtful thoughts. Now, the rules.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13The ping pong ball and bat must be of standard size.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16If the ball falls, the attempt is over.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Competitors may not touch the ball and the target for a new
0:10:19 > 0:10:23world record is to run 50 metres in 20 seconds.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25Mr Cherry is up first.
0:10:25 > 0:10:29- I happy!- Shanta, over to you.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30Go!
0:10:30 > 0:10:34And he's off, those trademark hot-pink tights cutting a
0:10:34 > 0:10:37bright swathe through the British countryside.
0:10:37 > 0:10:40He's at top speed.
0:10:40 > 0:10:42It's like he's running on air!
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Oh, but the ball is bouncing around!
0:10:45 > 0:10:48Can he stop it falling off the bat?
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Yes, he's over the line, what a run!
0:10:52 > 0:10:54HE SCREAMS
0:10:54 > 0:10:57Ping pong, yes-das-das-das!
0:10:57 > 0:11:00- Cherry! Team Japan!- Japan!
0:11:00 > 0:11:02Here goes Ray!
0:11:02 > 0:11:05Oh, the ball's off already.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10Steve's next and, oh, he's fallen foul to a vicious attack of wind.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13So, everyone has been offered a second attempt.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18But, happy with his time, Mr Cherry says thanks, but no thanks.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Remember, the target to beat is 20 seconds.
0:11:22 > 0:11:23Go!
0:11:23 > 0:11:28- A very careful start from Steve. - But he's going through the gears.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32And now he's sprinting, he's actually sprinting!
0:11:35 > 0:11:38In four series of Officially Amazing, we have never,
0:11:38 > 0:11:41ever seen Steve run!
0:11:41 > 0:11:43Come on, Steve!
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Yes!
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Stunning scenes! No-one saw that coming.
0:11:49 > 0:11:54That was a good run with a ping pong ball and a bat.
0:11:54 > 0:11:58It's time for Ray to stuff Steve and bury Cherry!
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Go!
0:11:59 > 0:12:02And the pocket rocket has shot off that start line!
0:12:02 > 0:12:07The ball's bouncing, can Ray control it?
0:12:07 > 0:12:10Down the ragged road, the rapid Ray man ran.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14Try saying that three times, too late, he's finished.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17Excellent, excellent! I've been waiting for that the whole time.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20- All right!- How did it feel?- It felt good.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23So, all three thoroughbreds galloped across the line
0:12:23 > 0:12:25with ball and bat intact.
0:12:25 > 0:12:29But who was the quickest and did we get a record?
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Well, I can confirm that all three had valid runs...
0:12:34 > 0:12:37and all three broke the minimum.
0:12:37 > 0:12:39THEY CHEER
0:12:39 > 0:12:43Let's just reflect on that for a moment.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46The Sizzler beat the target in an athletic record,
0:12:46 > 0:12:49unprecedented scenes!
0:12:49 > 0:12:51But who is our winner?
0:12:51 > 0:12:57In third place with a time of 10.029 seconds is...
0:12:59 > 0:13:01- Steve. - THEY GROAN
0:13:01 > 0:13:04Steve, that's still a great run, man, still a great run!
0:13:04 > 0:13:09Now, there were just two tenths of a second between Mr Cherry and Ray.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15The winner, with a time
0:13:15 > 0:13:20of 8.604 seconds is...
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- Ray! - CHEERING
0:13:25 > 0:13:27Yes, US rapture for US Ray.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30He claims his first record of the series!
0:13:30 > 0:13:33Congratulations, Ray, that's a new world record title.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36CHEERING
0:13:36 > 0:13:40Oh, Mr Cherry, you got it all ping pong wrong.
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Yes, not going for a second attempt cost him dear.
0:13:45 > 0:13:50So, our three warriors are now absolutely evens Sizzling Stevens,
0:13:50 > 0:13:54with two points and one world record each.
0:13:54 > 0:13:59Join us next time for another does of fully authorised amazingness...
0:13:59 > 0:14:01like this!
0:14:01 > 0:14:04# Well, Colin's go-kart really looked the part
0:14:04 > 0:14:06# The mighty beast even breathed fire
0:14:06 > 0:14:08# He tried time and again
0:14:08 > 0:14:11# But in the end he couldn't hit the speed required
0:14:11 > 0:14:13# Our competitors ping and ponged
0:14:13 > 0:14:15# And Cherry got it wrong
0:14:15 > 0:14:17# He could've done a second run
0:14:17 > 0:14:19# But he didn't and so Ray won
0:14:19 > 0:14:22# And our pizza rolling guys just couldn't deliver...#
0:14:22 > 0:14:24Pizza dough!
0:14:24 > 0:14:28# But here come the rubbish bits, the outtakes! #
0:14:30 > 0:14:35- Naughty Ben!- You're right, Mr Cherry, shame on you, Ben!
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Which camera am I coming to?
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Does it get louder?
0:14:39 > 0:14:42HE SHRIEKS AND SCREAMS
