0:00:06 > 0:00:08Welcome to Officially Amazing,
0:00:08 > 0:00:10the show that's fit to burst with the most precarious,
0:00:10 > 0:00:14preposterous, and positively perilous world records.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17Today, for example, this man is currently practising for
0:00:17 > 0:00:22an incredibly complex and dangerous record, involving this rope.
0:00:22 > 0:00:23What, don't believe me?
0:00:23 > 0:00:25You all right up there?
0:00:25 > 0:00:27- Yes, thanks, Ben!- Great.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30Here's what else is coming up on today's show.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35What's this guy doing with that car?
0:00:37 > 0:00:40And it's surprise record time in the Bunker.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42So we've all been kicked out.
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Now, it's back to a couple who are...
0:00:49 > 0:00:50Ha! Dah-dah!
0:00:50 > 0:00:52- Ow! - CROWD GASPS
0:00:54 > 0:00:55Meet Donovan and Rebecca.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59They're a multi-record-breaking acrobatic husband-and-wife team,
0:00:59 > 0:01:02whose incredible strength allows them to perform
0:01:02 > 0:01:06some of the coolest lifts, balances and tricks I've ever seen.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09How could these two be any more awesome?
0:01:09 > 0:01:10Brace yourself.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14HE SINGS A LONG, SUSTAINED NOTE
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Sadly, there'll be no more singing today, as Donovan and Rebecca
0:01:21 > 0:01:24attempt to break their own record for...
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Let's find out what that means. Donovan?
0:01:30 > 0:01:32We hang a straight rope from the ceiling,
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Rebecca's going to put her hand in the loop,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37hold on to the rope, I'm going to give her a good spin,
0:01:37 > 0:01:40she's going to let go of the rope and hang horizontally out.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43Wow, OK. This is not just a technically difficult record,
0:01:43 > 0:01:46but it's also a physically strenuous one.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49What effect is it having on your bodies?
0:01:49 > 0:01:51When we go very fast, I feel like someone
0:01:51 > 0:01:54has just bumped me on the nose.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58So I feel a bit dizzy and it takes me a few minutes.
0:01:58 > 0:02:00It takes a good hour and a half to recover.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Wow, that's a lot of recovery time.
0:02:02 > 0:02:06It's so physically demanding that Rebecca and Donovan
0:02:06 > 0:02:08have only one chance to break their record.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10Let's take a look at the rules...
0:02:10 > 0:02:13The rope must be at least eight metres long.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Rebecca must be holding it with just one hand.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Only full, 360-degree rotations will count.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23And they must beat their own world record
0:02:23 > 0:02:25of a massive 48 spins in 30 seconds.
0:02:27 > 0:02:28Five,
0:02:28 > 0:02:29four,
0:02:29 > 0:02:30three,
0:02:30 > 0:02:31two,
0:02:31 > 0:02:32one - go!
0:02:34 > 0:02:37She's spinning so fast we can hardly see her.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40But by the magic of slo-mo...
0:02:40 > 0:02:41Look at Rebecca!
0:02:41 > 0:02:43Every single muscle is tensed.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47She's holding herself out vertically with just one arm!
0:02:47 > 0:02:50And she's still remembered to point her sparkly toes.
0:02:50 > 0:02:52Phenomenally impressive!
0:02:55 > 0:02:59And it's not just Rebecca's muscles that are working to the max.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03Donovan has to use every ounce of strength to control the rope.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07If he loses momentum or rhythm, they've got no chance.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10So gruelling, yet so graceful.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Ten, nine...
0:03:12 > 0:03:16Donovan's speeding things up! One last big push for the record.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18Come on!
0:03:18 > 0:03:20..three, two, one, time!
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Whoa!
0:03:22 > 0:03:23Wow!
0:03:25 > 0:03:26That's incredible!
0:03:26 > 0:03:31Rebecca spun so fast that official adjudicator Mark has to watch
0:03:31 > 0:03:34a slo-mo replay so he can count each rotation.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Have they beaten their own record of 48?
0:03:37 > 0:03:39How did they do?
0:03:39 > 0:03:40You achieved...
0:03:42 > 0:03:46- ..52, that's a brand-new Guinness World Records total!- Come on!
0:03:46 > 0:03:48Yes!
0:03:48 > 0:03:52They had one shot and Donovan and Rebecca smashed it!
0:03:52 > 0:03:55They truly are Spanish web masters!
0:03:55 > 0:04:00Now, over to Al and Haruka for an altogether less-glitzy record.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06Hnnn...
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Ow!
0:04:09 > 0:04:12Two large men jogging into a TV studio
0:04:12 > 0:04:14filled with rubbish old cars.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15Yes, please!
0:04:15 > 0:04:18Who are they, Haruka?
0:04:18 > 0:04:19They are Spain's...
0:04:21 > 0:04:22And Italian...
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Giacomo Sportelli?
0:04:26 > 0:04:28In English, he's...
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Oh, I like him.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Well, Inaqui and, erm, Jim will both attempt the record for...
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Speediest flipper gets the record.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45I hope the show's car insurance covers this entertaining vandalism.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Signor Sportelli goes first.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Ah, good old Mr Sporty!
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Come on, my man!
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Ooh, he's struggling!
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Why wouldn't he be, Haruka?
0:04:56 > 0:05:00He's trying to roll a car that weighs half a tonne!
0:05:00 > 0:05:02He's stopped!
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Maybe he's hoping the red one is a bit lighter?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07It isn't.
0:05:07 > 0:05:08Hold on, he's doing it!
0:05:08 > 0:05:10He's actually... He's not doing it.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13He's given up, with a grand total of zero.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15I don't blame him.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17Good luck, Inaqui.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21If Signor Sportelli can't do it, I doubt anyone can.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22Go!
0:05:24 > 0:05:27Wait a minute, look at that!
0:05:27 > 0:05:29He's a motor-flipping maestro!
0:05:29 > 0:05:31This is all very impressive,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34but I'm pretty sure that leaking petrol is not good.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37Health and safety, anyone?
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Anyone?!
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Poor Jim can only watch as incredible Inaqui
0:05:42 > 0:05:46flips all ten cars in one minute and 44 seconds.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51It's a world record that no-one has broken in 14 years!
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Well done, Inaqui.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56Now, if you could put the cars back how you found them,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58we'll make our way to the Secret Bunker.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Because it's time for this...
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Heh-heh!
0:06:07 > 0:06:08Aargh!
0:06:08 > 0:06:10CRASH!
0:06:10 > 0:06:15A titanic triumvirate, courageous to the core.
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Valiantly attempting world records that you can try at home.
0:06:19 > 0:06:20They are...
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Team American uberhero, US Ray!
0:06:25 > 0:06:30Team UK's inspirational idol, Sizzling Steve!
0:06:30 > 0:06:34And for Team Japan, the understated elegance of Mr Cherry.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Together they form the legend that is...
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Last time, Mr Cherry romped home, backwards on all fours,
0:06:49 > 0:06:52to claim his second world record of the series.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Which finally takes him to the top of the scoreboard.
0:06:57 > 0:06:59But it could all change,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02because today we've got another surprise record!
0:07:02 > 0:07:05We don't know what it is, but we do have a clue.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Is it going to be sorting dice, maybe?
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Shall we find out?
0:07:10 > 0:07:11Yeah, I think so.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18And here are the rules...
0:07:18 > 0:07:22Each die must be placed alternately by the two challengers.
0:07:22 > 0:07:26If the tower falls within the minute, it can be rebuilt,
0:07:26 > 0:07:29but whoever knocks the tower over must be the person to start
0:07:29 > 0:07:31that rebuilding.
0:07:31 > 0:07:35The tower must stand for a full five seconds once the minute is over,
0:07:35 > 0:07:40and the target for this new world record is a towering 50 dice!
0:07:40 > 0:07:45Ray's a dicey disaster area. Time for an emergency team talk.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48All right, Ray, can you do this? Just be honest with me.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50It's not about whether I can do this,
0:07:50 > 0:07:52it's about whether or not WE can do this.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54I feel our strategy should be to start with the metal dice,
0:07:54 > 0:07:57because they're firm and strong, and they'll give us a good base,
0:07:57 > 0:08:00- we can build on that. - That sounds perfect.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- Let's do it, USA.- All the way. - All right.
0:08:02 > 0:08:03Crikey!
0:08:03 > 0:08:08Team USA have devised an actual, sensible plan of action!
0:08:08 > 0:08:11Sizzler's held ten dice-related records,
0:08:11 > 0:08:14but has a controversial tactic.
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Hope that their tower will fall over, basically.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20So essentially what you're saying is, we're praying for other
0:08:20 > 0:08:22people's failure, rather than banking on our own success?
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Sounds right.- He makes you proud to be British, doesn't he?
0:08:26 > 0:08:30Cherry has just one dice record, but it is for stacking.
0:08:30 > 0:08:33What are the things that we need to look out for?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36- TRANSLATION: - I have no special technique.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38But our hearts will be strong!
0:08:38 > 0:08:41- BOTH:- Ei! Ei! Oh!
0:08:42 > 0:08:46Today, each team gets two one minute attempts at the record.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48And for the first time ever,
0:08:48 > 0:08:50everyone is banished from the bunker.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52So there can be no seeing,
0:08:52 > 0:08:53hearing
0:08:53 > 0:08:57or even smelling of other competitors' tactics.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59Or the score we need to win.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Take it away, Team Japan.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03Three, two,
0:09:03 > 0:09:04one - go!
0:09:06 > 0:09:08And they're building confidently from the off.
0:09:08 > 0:09:11This is a team with a plan.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Their building technique is impressively precise.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I'd be worried right now,
0:09:17 > 0:09:19if I had any idea what was going on!
0:09:19 > 0:09:23MUSIC: It's A Shame About Ray by The Lemonheads
0:09:23 > 0:09:25Team Japan have moved on to the smaller,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28lighter dice as the tower grows.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Oh, no! The tower's shrunk!
0:09:31 > 0:09:34And worse than that, Cherry caused the collapse,
0:09:34 > 0:09:37but Haruka placed the next dice!
0:09:37 > 0:09:41This is straight up, no-nonsense, flagrant breaking of the rules.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43Disqualification!
0:09:43 > 0:09:46At least we have a second attempt, and a plan.
0:09:47 > 0:09:48Ni...
0:09:49 > 0:09:50Ichi...
0:09:50 > 0:09:53So we don't mess up again, this time we've decided to say
0:09:53 > 0:09:56ichi and ni when placing the dice.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58This means one and two.
0:09:59 > 0:10:03It seems to be working well, keep those fingers steady, guys!
0:10:04 > 0:10:07- Five...- Starting to wobble!
0:10:07 > 0:10:09- Four...- Can it take one more?
0:10:09 > 0:10:11One - stop!
0:10:12 > 0:10:14We daren't even breathe!
0:10:15 > 0:10:19Al and dice disaster area, US Ray, are up next.
0:10:19 > 0:10:20Go!
0:10:24 > 0:10:26A solid start from the US boys.
0:10:26 > 0:10:27Indeed, Haruka.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30What on earth is going on?
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Team USA appear to be organised and capable, Ben.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Confusing scenes!
0:10:35 > 0:10:39Ray and I are in what we call the zone.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Erecting a structure America can be proud of.
0:10:42 > 0:10:43Start with the little ones.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46It is delectable dice stacking.
0:10:46 > 0:10:47I'd be in shock,
0:10:47 > 0:10:49if I wasn't outside, thinking about Steve.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00Back in the bunker, it's still looking scarily good.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01Five,
0:11:01 > 0:11:02four,
0:11:02 > 0:11:04three, two,
0:11:04 > 0:11:06one - stop.
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Isn't she beautiful?
0:11:07 > 0:11:10Like a mini Statue Of Liberty.
0:11:10 > 0:11:14And let's not forget, Team USA get another attempt.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16The less said about that, the better.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24So what can experienced dice-keteers Team UK do?
0:11:24 > 0:11:26Go!
0:11:26 > 0:11:29As expected, we've started brilliantly.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32The Brits are building from the floor.
0:11:32 > 0:11:37Probably insider knowledge from Dr Dice himself, Steve.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41Could Team UK reach that record-breaking 50 dice summit?
0:11:41 > 0:11:44You know, Haruka, I think we just might.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Catastrophe! As the dice stack falls with only 15 seconds left!
0:11:51 > 0:11:56Dice master Steve just isn't used to dealing with such a wobbly column.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59Stay calm, Steve! Don't panic!
0:12:01 > 0:12:04We're panicking! Stop panicking!
0:12:04 > 0:12:05- Five...- Aargh!
0:12:05 > 0:12:06..four, three,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08two,
0:12:08 > 0:12:09one - stop.
0:12:12 > 0:12:15A mere 48 short of the world record target.
0:12:16 > 0:12:20We could be witnessing the death of a dice dynasty.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23If only we could actually see it.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26MUSIC: Cherry Oh Baby by UB40
0:12:26 > 0:12:29But don't forget, Team UK have a second attempt.
0:12:29 > 0:12:33Can they improve on that score of two?
0:12:33 > 0:12:35It's looking good...
0:12:39 > 0:12:42- Oh.- And the UK have suffered another collapse!
0:12:42 > 0:12:45Unprecedented rubbishness!
0:12:45 > 0:12:48There's still time to build a record breaker, Haruka!
0:12:48 > 0:12:49- Five, four...- Oh.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51..three, two,
0:12:51 > 0:12:52one - stop.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55Total dice-aster!
0:12:55 > 0:12:58I wonder how everyone else did?
0:12:58 > 0:13:02So, Shanta, tell us - did we get a world record?
0:13:02 > 0:13:03No.
0:13:04 > 0:13:09OK, so then, who got the Officially Competitive point?
0:13:09 > 0:13:11In third place, with 12 dice...
0:13:13 > 0:13:15..was team UK.
0:13:15 > 0:13:17Thanks for the slow clap, Team USA(!)
0:13:18 > 0:13:22And in first place...
0:13:22 > 0:13:24with 34 dice...
0:13:26 > 0:13:28..Team USA!
0:13:28 > 0:13:30Actual unbelievable scenes!
0:13:30 > 0:13:33As Team USA win the dice challenge
0:13:33 > 0:13:36and celebrate by mooing like a pair of mating whales.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43That win puts Ray joint top of the scoreboard! Yes!
0:13:43 > 0:13:45With former leader Steve now rock bottom.
0:13:45 > 0:13:48Will Steve ever sizzle again?
0:13:48 > 0:13:52Find out next time when we return with more stack-tastic records,
0:13:52 > 0:13:53like these...
0:13:53 > 0:13:56# Well, Rebecca was spun by Donovan
0:13:56 > 0:13:58# They set the record at 52
0:13:58 > 0:14:01# She spun really quick and she wasn't sick
0:14:01 > 0:14:03# And, Ben, she was much braver than you
0:14:03 > 0:14:05# Al and US Ray
0:14:05 > 0:14:07# Had a tremendous day
0:14:07 > 0:14:09# Their tower of dice stood tall
0:14:09 > 0:14:11# But Team UK had fall after fall
0:14:11 > 0:14:15# And Inaqui showed Jim Sporty how to flip cars
0:14:15 > 0:14:18# But here come the rubbish bits
0:14:18 > 0:14:20# The outtakes! #
0:14:23 > 0:14:24Dice to meet you.
0:14:24 > 0:14:25Me too!
0:14:25 > 0:14:27Mmm...dice!
0:14:27 > 0:14:28- OK!- OK.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- Can we stop, sorry?!- Are you ready?
0:14:32 > 0:14:33Shanta?
0:14:33 > 0:14:35No!
0:14:35 > 0:14:36We are ready, Shanta.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Keep calm.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Keep calm!
0:14:39 > 0:14:40- BOTH:- Cherry on!
