BLOWS A RASPBERRY

0:00:050:00:06

ENGINE REVS Welcome to Officially Amazing,

0:00:060:00:08

the show that brings you more

0:00:080:00:10

world records than you can shake a record-breaking stick

0:00:100:00:13

at record-breaking pace at.

0:00:130:00:16

Today sees the return of the Moffatt brothers.

0:00:160:00:19

Alistair, why do you always insist on driving like

0:00:190:00:22

an absolute hooligan when I'm in the car?

0:00:220:00:25

Ben, I haven't even put the key in yet.

0:00:250:00:27

Just pretend. It's called being dramatic.

0:00:270:00:30

Here's what's coming up on the rest of today's show.

0:00:300:00:32

Which body part will these caped crusaders use to crush these cans?

0:00:370:00:43

And the miraculous Moffatts return to reclaim an old record.

0:00:440:00:49

But first, three more magical mavericks.

0:00:490:00:51

Yeah. Ha-ha-ha. Woo-hoo-hoo. Uh-oh.

0:00:560:00:58

THWACK!

0:00:580:01:00

..three superheroes have assembled once more

0:01:030:01:07

to attempt world records...

0:01:070:01:09

Woohoo!

0:01:090:01:10

..that you can try at home.

0:01:100:01:12

From the States, it's the Ray Man.

0:01:120:01:16

From Japan, the Cherry Bomb

0:01:160:01:20

and from the UK, Dr Sizzle

0:01:200:01:24

or Steve for short.

0:01:240:01:28

This is...

0:01:280:01:29

Previously on Officially Competitive...

0:01:350:01:37

Steve made like the Pharaohs and built an award-winning pyramid.

0:01:370:01:42

Leaving Cherry-san adrift at the bottom of the table.

0:01:420:01:46

But that could all change today with the...

0:01:460:01:48

Let's get the team talks.

0:01:510:01:53

You must have undertaken some serious toilet roll-based research?

0:01:530:01:57

Yes, I have been to many supermarkets

0:01:570:01:58

and bought many different kind of rolls.

0:01:580:02:01

So do all the supermarkets in your local area

0:02:010:02:03

think you've got really loose bowels?

0:02:030:02:05

Er, I hope not.

0:02:050:02:06

Awkward!

0:02:090:02:10

So Steve's researched this one top to bottom.

0:02:100:02:14

Is Ray ready to rock and roll too?

0:02:140:02:17

You noticed the difference between US toilet paper and UK toilet paper?

0:02:170:02:21

All feels good.

0:02:210:02:22

King of the bathroom. Number one.

0:02:240:02:27

Actually, number two.

0:02:270:02:28

Whatever your number is, Ray, Mr Cherry has it.

0:02:280:02:32

Well, Cherry-san, you told me that you actually practised

0:02:320:02:36

on the plane on the way from Japan. How was that?

0:02:360:02:41

-TRANSLATION:

-Yes, like all the best athletes,

0:02:410:02:43

I do prefer to train at altitude.

0:02:430:02:46

But, eventually, the cabin crew told me

0:02:460:02:48

they'd rather I practised after we landed, like.

0:02:480:02:51

Sensible advice from the flight team there.

0:02:510:02:54

Now, the loo rules.

0:02:540:02:57

A standard 2-ply, 240-sheet roll must be used.

0:02:570:03:01

Only one hand may be used for the unravelling.

0:03:010:03:05

If any tissue is detached from the roll, the attempt is disqualified.

0:03:050:03:09

And the record to beat is 9.8 seconds.

0:03:090:03:13

If you want to try this yourself,

0:03:130:03:15

please make sure it's not your family's last roll.

0:03:150:03:19

TOILET NOISES AND FLUSHING

0:03:190:03:21

Sorry, guys, I'm sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

0:03:260:03:29

All right, oh. I would give it a minute in there.

0:03:290:03:32

Oof.

0:03:330:03:34

Shantha, over to you.

0:03:360:03:37

Three, two, one.

0:03:370:03:40

-AIR HORN

-Go.

0:03:400:03:41

Before he can even start unrolling,

0:03:410:03:43

Cherry must break the seal without using his other hand.

0:03:430:03:48

Oh, he's struggling.

0:03:480:03:50

Worse still, his Japanese loo rolls have been disqualified

0:03:500:03:53

for not having enough sheets.

0:03:530:03:55

All that altitude training was for nothing.

0:03:550:03:58

How will he cope now in this tricky, toilety test?

0:03:580:04:03

Oh, this is some riveting unravelling.

0:04:030:04:07

Yes, that arm is rotating at full speed.

0:04:070:04:11

And he's done.

0:04:110:04:14

His roll can unroll no further, so the attempt is over.

0:04:140:04:19

Can Ray wipe up a storm in response?

0:04:190:04:22

-AIR HORN

-Go.

0:04:220:04:24

Look at Ray attack that seal.

0:04:250:04:27

But wait!

0:04:270:04:28

He attacked it too much and four sheets of that precious paper

0:04:300:04:34

have been savagely ripped off.

0:04:340:04:36

What? No!

0:04:360:04:38

Does that end Ray's bathroom-themed dreams?

0:04:380:04:42

Well, that is up to Shantha.

0:04:420:04:44

Look at him. He's an unwhirling dervish.

0:04:450:04:50

It's almost hypnotic.

0:04:500:04:52

Ray has refused to unravel while unravelling.

0:04:520:04:55

He does not deserve disqualification after this textbook toilet rolling.

0:04:550:05:01

That's not your call, Al. But if he doesn't win,

0:05:010:05:05

at least there'll be plenty of tissue to wipe away his tears.

0:05:050:05:08

Harsh, Ben.

0:05:080:05:09

Come on, Sizzler.

0:05:090:05:11

-AIR HORN

-Go.

0:05:110:05:12

It's taking valuable seconds to break that seal. Not a great start.

0:05:120:05:18

No, indeed. He's already getting BOGGED down.

0:05:180:05:21

Come on, Sizzle.

0:05:210:05:24

What a twirly tornado of tumbling tissue.

0:05:240:05:28

Has a lifetime of using British loo roll given Steve a crucial edge?

0:05:310:05:35

Surely not. Loo roll is the same the world over.

0:05:350:05:38

Except in Japan, where it's shorter.

0:05:380:05:41

-Stop.

-Uncurling complete. Nice one, Sizzler.

0:05:410:05:44

A tissue, a tissue, it all falls down.

0:05:440:05:47

Let's find out who uncoiled the quickest.

0:05:470:05:50

Shantha, have we broken a world record?

0:05:500:05:53

-No, we haven't.

-Aw.

0:05:530:05:56

Never mind though. There's still the

0:05:560:05:58

all-important competitive point to play for.

0:05:580:06:00

Shantha, the results please.

0:06:000:06:02

Ray, you were disqualified as you ripped the paper from the roll.

0:06:020:06:07

Two disqualifications in a row!

0:06:070:06:10

Oh, Ray.

0:06:100:06:12

And in first place, with a time of 43.583 seconds,

0:06:120:06:18

-Steve.

-BOTH: Yeah!

0:06:180:06:20

Oh, excellent work, Sizz.

0:06:200:06:23

-I know, I couldn't believe it.

-I didn't think any of us could.

0:06:230:06:27

Yes, for once things have unravelled in the right way

0:06:270:06:29

for the Sizzler.

0:06:290:06:31

And he tops the leaderboard.

0:06:310:06:32

And, remarkably, Mr Cherry's still rock bottom.

0:06:320:06:37

Next time, he needs to put his lucky pants on,

0:06:370:06:40

then take them off, then back on again.

0:06:400:06:42

Now, from pants to parking.

0:06:420:06:44

Aw.

0:06:500:06:52

Yes, those magnificent Moffatts in their motoring machines are back.

0:06:520:06:57

We've seen these spectacular stunt-driving siblings

0:06:570:07:00

set a stunning six records in four series.

0:07:000:07:03

But today, their remarkable record-breaking run

0:07:030:07:06

is under severe threat.

0:07:060:07:08

Back in series two, Alistair and John claimed the record for the...

0:07:080:07:13

..as they slid two cars into this petite parking spot.

0:07:150:07:19

But Chinese pair Tian Linwen and Xia Hongjun

0:07:190:07:22

have since beaten it twice

0:07:220:07:24

with their alternative, simultaneous parking method -

0:07:240:07:28

setting a record of just 42cm of space between the four cars.

0:07:280:07:33

Now the brothers want their title back.

0:07:330:07:37

So the Chinese team set the record at 42cm.

0:07:370:07:40

Guys, what are you hoping for today?

0:07:400:07:42

Well, we're going to play it safe as we can

0:07:420:07:44

and we're just going to go for 41.

0:07:440:07:46

Sounds sensible. So, Trevor, you're here as the kind of

0:07:460:07:49

-support team and maybe offer a few words of wisdom.

-Yeah, I can watch

0:07:490:07:52

what's happening from the outside and I can give them some feedback

0:07:520:07:55

with where they're going wrong.

0:07:550:07:56

-HE LAUGHS

-What do you mean go wrong?

0:07:560:07:58

Best of luck, guys. You're going to regain this record today.

0:07:580:08:01

I've got a good feeling. Come on.

0:08:010:08:03

I've also got some rules.

0:08:030:08:05

Once parked, the cars must not be touching each other

0:08:050:08:09

and wheels must be within 30cm of

0:08:090:08:11

this white curb without touching it.

0:08:110:08:14

The target is to leave

0:08:140:08:15

a total space between all the cars of 41cm.

0:08:150:08:20

So, the Moffatts are ready for their first attempt

0:08:200:08:22

at regaining their old record.

0:08:220:08:24

John in the white car comes screeching in,

0:08:270:08:30

and Alistair is right behind him.

0:08:300:08:31

That was good.

0:08:330:08:35

Look at that. Incredible precision on the first go.

0:08:350:08:39

Seems good from this angle.

0:08:390:08:42

Ooh, but John may be too far from the white curb.

0:08:420:08:45

Ah, and the two Moffatt motors are touching,

0:08:450:08:47

so that attempt is invalid.

0:08:470:08:49

Unbelievably close.

0:08:490:08:52

Here they go again.

0:08:520:08:53

Come on now.

0:08:530:08:54

John needs to get as tight to that first car as possible.

0:08:560:08:59

He's in.

0:08:590:09:00

Oh, it's good, it's good.

0:09:000:09:02

Can Alistair squeeze into the gap that's left?

0:09:020:09:05

They're clear of the parked cars and the curb.

0:09:050:09:08

But, oh, no.

0:09:080:09:09

Same problem.

0:09:090:09:11

We got a touch situation right here.

0:09:110:09:13

What do they need to do right now?

0:09:130:09:15

They just need to concentrate.

0:09:150:09:16

I think you need to concentrate, channel their inner Moffatt

0:09:160:09:19

and tell them what they need to do.

0:09:190:09:21

-All right.

-I taught them everything they know.

0:09:210:09:23

Is that why they keep messing up?

0:09:230:09:25

All right, let's do this. Come on. Let's go, Moffatts!

0:09:250:09:28

John's in safely.

0:09:310:09:33

Oh, Alistair careers into the curb.

0:09:330:09:37

They're refusing to give up.

0:09:370:09:39

Could this be the one?

0:09:390:09:40

Ah.

0:09:400:09:42

What a car-tastophe.

0:09:420:09:44

That's not really parking, that's just stopping.

0:09:440:09:48

This is proving tough, even for the Moffatts.

0:09:480:09:51

In a record where the distances to begin with are so minute,

0:09:510:09:56

you've got to be perfect.

0:09:560:09:58

Could this be the first time we see the brothers fail to break a record?

0:09:580:10:02

Find out after watching two titans with a CAN-do attitude.

0:10:020:10:07

-AIR RUSHES

-Oh...

0:10:110:10:12

SHE LAUGHS

0:10:120:10:14

We're in China for an epic battle

0:10:170:10:18

to discover who has the toughest shoulder blades on Earth.

0:10:180:10:22

Or, to give its official name...

0:10:240:10:26

And please...

0:10:300:10:31

These guys are trained professionals,

0:10:320:10:35

as you can tell from their magnificent capes.

0:10:350:10:38

The USA's Fabrizio Milito

0:10:380:10:40

holds the current record at 41 cans.

0:10:400:10:43

China's Feng Yixi is here to take it off him.

0:10:430:10:46

Go.

0:10:460:10:47

MUSIC: Hearts On Fire by John Cafferty

0:10:470:10:51

Look at him go!

0:10:510:10:52

I had no idea shoulder blades could be so powerful...

0:10:520:10:55

or so useful.

0:10:550:10:56

To give him the best chance of breaking that record,

0:10:560:10:59

Feng relies on his helper to place those cans quickly.

0:10:590:11:03

Can after can reduced to nothing more than recyclable garbage.

0:11:030:11:08

-AIR HORN

-Time's up.

0:11:080:11:10

Has he beaten Fabrizio's record of 41?

0:11:100:11:13

Oh, 51!

0:11:150:11:17

Our brave American looks CRUSHED. CAN he recover?

0:11:170:11:22

AIR HORN

0:11:220:11:23

MUSIC: You're The Best by Joe 'Bean' Esposito

0:11:230:11:25

-He's certainly off to a fast start.

-His helper needs to be careful.

0:11:250:11:29

This is a bit like hand-feeding pork chops to a lion.

0:11:290:11:33

ROAR

0:11:330:11:34

-Get it wrong, and you'll lose some fingers.

-Heroic scenes.

0:11:340:11:37

Could he top Feng's tin-wrecking record?

0:11:370:11:40

-AIR HORN

-That's time.

0:11:400:11:42

Has he reclaimed his can-crushing crown?

0:11:420:11:45

Just now, Fabrizio, you achieved a final total of...

0:11:450:11:49

..60 cans. It's a brand-new world record title.

0:11:510:11:54

Wow!

0:11:540:11:56

60 cans.

0:11:560:11:58

And he CAN-not believe it.

0:11:580:12:01

But while fabulous Fab is feted

0:12:010:12:03

and has the proud pose of a true champion,

0:12:030:12:06

foiled Feng looks furious.

0:12:060:12:08

Hopefully, we won't see another frowning face like that today.

0:12:080:12:12

Come on, the Moffatts!

0:12:120:12:14

Alistair and John are trying to break the record

0:12:140:12:16

for the tightest double parallel park

0:12:160:12:18

but the only thing being broken so far is that poor, white curb.

0:12:180:12:23

These motoring masters have never failed us before,

0:12:250:12:28

but their perfect record-breaking record is now in serious jeopardy.

0:12:280:12:33

Here they come once more.

0:12:330:12:35

Ooh, could this be good?

0:12:410:12:44

The cars aren't touching,

0:12:440:12:46

but Alistair's more than 30cm from the line so it won't be valid.

0:12:460:12:51

Alistair, not quite worked just yet. I've got full confidence.

0:12:510:12:55

Have you?

0:12:550:12:56

It's on and there's a gap there so we'll try and fit a car in it.

0:12:560:12:59

If it can be done, then the Moffatts can do it. Come on!

0:12:590:13:02

They're still confident but it's late in the day

0:13:020:13:05

and this will have to be their final attempt.

0:13:050:13:07

Can they get that precision timing dead on?

0:13:090:13:12

Can they claim yet another world record?

0:13:120:13:15

They're putting everything into this

0:13:150:13:18

but it has to work this time.

0:13:180:13:20

Cracking car-eography from the magical Moffatts.

0:13:240:13:27

But have they pulled this off?

0:13:270:13:29

They have an anxious wait as adjudicator Mark checks their work.

0:13:290:13:34

This is going to be close.

0:13:340:13:36

So, Mark, please don't keep us in suspense any longer.

0:13:360:13:40

What are your results?

0:13:400:13:41

I can tell you that with a distance of 41cm,

0:13:410:13:45

we've a brand-new Guinness World Records title.

0:13:450:13:47

THEY CLAP AND CHEER

0:13:470:13:50

-Congratulations.

-Thank you very much.

0:13:500:13:52

Incredible!

0:13:520:13:53

The brothers' refusal to give up

0:13:530:13:55

means their record-breaking run remains intact.

0:13:550:13:58

Join us next time for more genuine genius like this.

0:13:580:14:02

# Well, our competitors rushed and were a little bit flushed

0:14:020:14:05

# As they unravelled for a victory

0:14:050:14:08

# The loo roll flew as Steve beat the other two

0:14:080:14:10

# And won single-handedly

0:14:100:14:12

# Alistair and John were back with a record-reclaiming attack

0:14:120:14:16

# And our mighty Moffatt men

0:14:160:14:17

# Got their double parking record back again

0:14:170:14:20

# And Fabrizio crushed Feng's dreams with his mighty shoulders

0:14:200:14:24

# But here come the rubbish bits

0:14:240:14:27

# The outtakes! #

0:14:270:14:29

I haven't even put the key in yet.

0:14:320:14:34

Oh, I've forgotten my line. Argh!

0:14:340:14:36

And with a distance of 7.5, no, that's not right.

0:14:360:14:40

THEY LAUGH
