0:00:02 > 0:00:05# Officially, officially, officially... Amazing! #

0:00:05 > 0:00:06Ha ha ha ha...

0:00:06 > 0:00:10Welcome to Officially Amazing, your personal tour guide through

0:00:10 > 0:00:12the dangerously dazzling world of records.

0:00:12 > 0:00:17Today, we welcome back awesome acrobatic duo, Donovan and Rebecca

0:00:17 > 0:00:21who are going to be attempting something truly...

0:00:21 > 0:00:23Offically Amazing!

0:00:23 > 0:00:26Here's what's coming up on today's show!

0:00:27 > 0:00:32Yes! Donovan and Rebecca are back with a muscular musical record.

0:00:34 > 0:00:39And Big Z and Thor continue their two man war on white goods.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42First though, things are about to get messy in the bunker.

0:00:47 > 0:00:48Ah, ah...Ahhh...

0:00:52 > 0:00:54LAUGHS

0:00:54 > 0:00:56As surely as day follows night,

0:00:56 > 0:01:00so our Fearsome Threesome battle for glory once again.

0:01:00 > 0:01:05Competing for world record titles that you could try at home.

0:01:05 > 0:01:06They are...

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Revolutionary US Ray,

0:01:08 > 0:01:11Sizzlingly Still Steve,

0:01:11 > 0:01:14and our Triple Champion, Cherry!

0:01:14 > 0:01:15This is...

0:01:22 > 0:01:24Previously on Officially Competitive...

0:01:24 > 0:01:26Mr Cherry Pants

0:01:26 > 0:01:30pogoed his way to success, and the second world record of the series.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33And more importantly, got the

0:01:33 > 0:01:34crucial competitive point to put

0:01:34 > 0:01:37himself right back in the competition

0:01:37 > 0:01:40But today, things get terrifying!

0:01:40 > 0:01:42We have no clue, no idea,

0:01:42 > 0:01:47and probably no hope, because it's Secret Surprise Record time...

0:01:47 > 0:01:50And we're particularly dreading this one, because we've been asked to don

0:01:50 > 0:01:56these rather fetching overalls, and we still have no idea why.

0:01:56 > 0:02:01'Blindfolds on, to the bunker, comrades! Our fate awaits.'

0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Oh...- Aw great!- The record is...

0:02:13 > 0:02:17- Ray, Sizzler, and Cherry, will be throwing...- Ha ha!

0:02:19 > 0:02:22This record requires similar skill to the wet sponges record

0:02:22 > 0:02:25we have all attempted twice.

0:02:25 > 0:02:29Unfortunately for Team UK, Ben has TWICE been

0:02:29 > 0:02:31disqualified for stepping over the red line!

0:02:31 > 0:02:32LAUGHS

0:02:32 > 0:02:34So, tactically speaking, what are we going to do?

0:02:34 > 0:02:38- Fast and quickly, I think.- Fast AND quickly?- Accuracy does help as well.

0:02:38 > 0:02:41Accuracy, ok, now we're adding to the list. Anything else?

0:02:43 > 0:02:46Just hoping that you don't cross the line.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50AWKWARD! But there's nothing awkward about team USA.

0:02:50 > 0:02:53I'm a little scared now that whatever you're throwing's

0:02:53 > 0:02:55- gonna hit me in the face. - Oh, it's supposed to.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58- I'll take it in the face for victory.- USA...

0:02:58 > 0:03:01For the USA I'll take it in the face all day.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05Sorry boys, Team Japan are hungry for a foam pie facial!

0:03:05 > 0:03:08Surely, this one will be ours, no?

0:03:08 > 0:03:12- TRANSLATION: - The cream pies are very tricky to throw,

0:03:12 > 0:03:15but, I'll have a good crack at it anyhow.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18- We'll do it!- Yes! Team Japan!

0:03:18 > 0:03:19- Pie! - TRANSLATION: Pie.

0:03:19 > 0:03:23For a serious task, serious rules apply.

0:03:23 > 0:03:26Only pies that hit the target participant

0:03:26 > 0:03:28full in the face will be valid.

0:03:28 > 0:03:33The players must be at least 1.5 metres apart.

0:03:33 > 0:03:36And if either participant touches their red line,

0:03:36 > 0:03:39the whole attempt will be disqualified.

0:03:39 > 0:03:44The target for this new world record is 40 pies in 30 seconds.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Team UK are up first. - 3...2...1...GO!

0:03:49 > 0:03:50CLAXON SOUNDS

0:03:51 > 0:03:55Oh, a classic behind table underarm flip technique.

0:03:55 > 0:03:59- But Steve's underarm flip is flopping!- Higher Sizzler!

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Ah! Too high!

0:04:01 > 0:04:05It grazed the quiff, but the pie escapes un-splattered.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Sizzler's lobbing at an implausible rate here.

0:04:09 > 0:04:13Some great hits, but way to many misses.

0:04:14 > 0:04:18Ben has no idea what's going on! He's in a shaving foam snowstorm.

0:04:20 > 0:04:25- 5...4...3...- A late flurry of splats, but oh dear!- What?

0:04:25 > 0:04:26BUZZER SOUNDS

0:04:26 > 0:04:32- That looks like a foot over the line, Betty Boy! Haha, again!- No...

0:04:33 > 0:04:39- Team UK are in meltdown!- And I just smashed my specs! A metaphor for our

0:04:39 > 0:04:44- shattered dreams.- Surely, we can't do any worse than that.

0:04:44 > 0:04:46Pie me like a champion!

0:04:46 > 0:04:48- Pie! - TRANSLATION: Pie.

0:04:48 > 0:04:53- REFEREE: Team Japan, are you ready?- Yes! - TRANSLATION: Yes.

0:04:53 > 0:04:553...2...1...GO! CLAXON SOUNDS

0:04:57 > 0:04:58- And that's a miss!- And another.

0:04:58 > 0:05:03It's worse than that, Al, check out his foot in this replay.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06Looks like it's on the line to me, and I'd know.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09It could already be over for Team Japan.

0:05:09 > 0:05:10So there's a chance

0:05:10 > 0:05:13I just got a mouthful of cream for nothing?!

0:05:13 > 0:05:15'Fraid so!

0:05:15 > 0:05:21- But Cherry's on a roll now...- He selects a pie, eyes his target and...

0:05:21 > 0:05:23BOOM!

0:05:23 > 0:05:24Bazookas Haruka!

0:05:26 > 0:05:28ALL: Ahhh...

0:05:28 > 0:05:31A hearty effort from Team Japan, but...

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Have they got one foot in DQ territory?

0:05:34 > 0:05:39There will be no line-crossing issues for Team USA.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43Ray's moved the pie table back to give himself more space.

0:05:43 > 0:05:47- And you, Al?- I stay still, and wait for Ray to pie me good.

0:05:47 > 0:05:53- "Do nothing," a classic Jackson approach.- Yep, suck it up DQ Boy!

0:05:53 > 0:05:54CLAXON SOUNDS

0:05:55 > 0:06:00- Oh, a chin-grazer!- But that's full-contact and so's that!

0:06:00 > 0:06:03A full arm-extension from Ray there,

0:06:03 > 0:06:07sending the plate hurtling into Al's motionless mug.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13Hmm...Ray's not pieing him full in the face,

0:06:13 > 0:06:15but still, Al doesn't budge.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18Deviating from the pie plan is not an option.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21REFEREE: 5...4...

0:06:21 > 0:06:25But that's a splendid splodger,

0:06:25 > 0:06:28and that's known in the trade as a "gloopy drooper".

0:06:28 > 0:06:29REFEREE:..3...2...1... Stop!

0:06:29 > 0:06:32CLAXON SOUND

0:06:32 > 0:06:36And Ray leaves Al looking like a slightly melted Abominable Snowman.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41Get yourself clean, Abominib-Al, time to find out

0:06:41 > 0:06:44if anyone got close to that 40 Pie target.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47There were no records broken.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51So, who got the all-important Officially Competitive

0:06:51 > 0:06:57- point at least?- Well, two of the teams were disqualified.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01Shockwaves reverberate around the bunker at the double DQ!

0:07:02 > 0:07:06The winning team, with a total of eight successful throws is...

0:07:06 > 0:07:11A mere 32 short of the record...

0:07:11 > 0:07:13is...Team USA!

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Another proud victory for the USA!

0:07:19 > 0:07:23Puts Ray joint with Steve at the top of the table!

0:07:23 > 0:07:27Both Team UK AND Team Japan got nine foam pie hits to the face

0:07:27 > 0:07:32meaning we would have won if it weren't for those pesky lines!

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Or those pesky feet, huh Ben?

0:07:34 > 0:07:36Who knows what will happen next time

0:07:36 > 0:07:41when our competitors bid for glory with their bottoms.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45For now it's Round 2 of our Italian Behemoth-Off.

0:07:52 > 0:07:53Ow!

0:07:54 > 0:07:56Last time they fought it out by fridge carrying,

0:07:56 > 0:07:58and now they are back.

0:07:58 > 0:08:02Yes, it's Nordic Nutcracker, Thor,

0:08:02 > 0:08:07versus the Lithuanian Leviathan Zydrunas Savickas.

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Today, Big Z and Thor will

0:08:09 > 0:08:11compete for the record for the...

0:08:14 > 0:08:17Just watch Thor trying to psych out his opponents.

0:08:17 > 0:08:18I am the future!

0:08:18 > 0:08:20But Big Z's not concerned.

0:08:20 > 0:08:25Face of Granite.

0:08:25 > 0:08:27Big Z will throw first,

0:08:27 > 0:08:31and the washing machines are just like the one you might have at home.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33Not that you should ever try this!

0:08:37 > 0:08:39It's a "tumble-flyer!"

0:08:39 > 0:08:44- That machine will never remove gravy stains again.- Amazing!

0:08:44 > 0:08:48Did he throw it further than the 4.01 metre record?

0:08:48 > 0:08:51We'll find out later, because right now, it's Thor-O'Clock!

0:08:53 > 0:08:56He's good with fridges, but what about washing machines?

0:08:56 > 0:09:00They're a completely different kind of domestic appliance.

0:09:02 > 0:09:06One to Thor-get for the big man. He's well short.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10Plenty of height there, but not much distance.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13Here goes Big Z with his final attempt.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16There's still water pouring out of this one.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20It's as if Big Z ripped the machine straight from the wall!

0:09:23 > 0:09:26- Ohh! What a throw! - But Big Z is down!

0:09:26 > 0:09:30Looks like he's blown a buttock. The ultimate sacrifice!

0:09:30 > 0:09:34Can Thor capitalise? He needs something special.

0:09:37 > 0:09:39And that wasn't it.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42But has Big Z beaten 4.01 metres for a new World Record?

0:09:46 > 0:09:52Of course he has! 4.13 metres, a sensational display of strength.

0:09:52 > 0:09:53And here's another,

0:09:53 > 0:09:57although hopefully your buttocks will be blown.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08We first met husband and wife team Rebecca

0:10:08 > 0:10:13and Donovan in Series 4, when they completed 52 spins

0:10:13 > 0:10:16on a Spanish web to smash their own World Record.

0:10:16 > 0:10:21Today, they bring us the blissful union of acrobatics and vocal

0:10:21 > 0:10:25melody we've all been dreaming of in the record for...

0:10:30 > 0:10:35And here's what that muse acrobatic magic looks and sounds like.

0:10:35 > 0:10:42# I'm only human... #

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Stunning.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47It is a delight to have you back on Officially Amazing.

0:10:47 > 0:10:51So what's harder then? Holding a note, or holding your wife?

0:10:52 > 0:10:54Holding a wife while holding a note.

0:10:54 > 0:10:55THEY LAUGH

0:10:55 > 0:10:58So, you're holding your wife up with one hand.

0:10:58 > 0:11:00What are you doing at that point Rebecca?

0:11:00 > 0:11:03Once I hit the position I try and be as still as possible,

0:11:03 > 0:11:05because any movement from me is going

0:11:05 > 0:11:08to affect Donovan's strength and his breath control.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11- Can't wait to see it from you both, good luck.- Thank you.- Thank you.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13And here are the rules.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16A person weighing at least 40kg must be

0:11:16 > 0:11:20held above the singers head throughout the attempt.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22And the singer must maintain a constant

0:11:22 > 0:11:25pitch at a volume of at least

0:11:25 > 0:11:2680 decibels.

0:11:26 > 0:11:27That's equivalent to the

0:11:27 > 0:11:29noise of a passing freight train!

0:11:29 > 0:11:32TRAIN NOISE

0:11:32 > 0:11:36To set this new world record, Donovan needs to hold the note

0:11:36 > 0:11:38and Rebecca for...

0:11:38 > 0:11:43And for this unique record, we've drafted in decibel expert

0:11:43 > 0:11:46and member of the official adjudicator house band, Sam,

0:11:46 > 0:11:50and his trusty decibel reader. The time starts

0:11:50 > 0:11:53when Donovan reaches the magic 80 decibels

0:11:53 > 0:11:55# You know...

0:11:55 > 0:11:59And we're off! Powerful in three ways.

0:11:59 > 0:12:03Physical, audibly, and emotionally.

0:12:03 > 0:12:07Meanwhile, just one small movement from Rebecca could spell disaster.

0:12:07 > 0:12:10DONOVAN CONTINUES TO SING IN BACKGROUND

0:12:12 > 0:12:14CLAXON SOUNDS

0:12:14 > 0:12:16Donovan's mighty lungs can do no more.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18He didn't drop Rebecca, so I think we're good on the holding

0:12:18 > 0:12:21a person element, but how was that note?

0:12:21 > 0:12:24The sound pressure level dipped below 80 decibels,

0:12:24 > 0:12:28ending the attempt at a time of...

0:12:31 > 0:12:38Excruciating scenes as Donovan falls short by just 2.62 seconds!

0:12:38 > 0:12:40On attempt 2... DONOVAN SINGS IN BACKGROUND

0:12:40 > 0:12:44Donovan sang for 26.81 seconds, unfortunately though,

0:12:44 > 0:12:46he sang like this...

0:12:46 > 0:12:47DONOVAN'S VOICE CRACKS

0:12:47 > 0:12:49That's not a constant pitch, you don't

0:12:49 > 0:12:53get anything for a Mariah Carey impression in this game.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56So, with one attempt too short, and one too warbly,

0:12:56 > 0:13:01can Donovan get it right on the third and final attempt?

0:13:04 > 0:13:07# HUMANS...

0:13:07 > 0:13:08A confident start.

0:13:09 > 0:13:13DONOVAN CONTINUES TO SING

0:13:17 > 0:13:21Holding a note for this long requires ludicrous lung strength.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24Let alone holding someone in the air one handed!

0:13:24 > 0:13:27Masterfully muscular musical moments.

0:13:28 > 0:13:29CLAXON SOUNDS

0:13:29 > 0:13:33- ...And that's it!- Wow!- It sounded great to me, but was it valid?

0:13:33 > 0:13:37And did Donovan and Rebecca reach that 25 second target?

0:13:37 > 0:13:42Final time was a total of

0:13:42 > 0:13:4428.4, which is

0:13:47 > 0:13:51- a brand-new Guinness World Record time!- Donovan and Rebecca aced it!

0:13:51 > 0:13:54Over three second more than they needed!

0:13:54 > 0:13:58A fantastically hard fought record. Only human?

0:13:58 > 0:14:00You're super-human to us.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04And we'll see you next time for more rambunctious records like these...

0:14:04 > 0:14:07# Well there was a nasty surprise involving shaving foam pies.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10# Our competitors aimed for the face.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12# They all really tried but with two disqualified,

0:14:12 > 0:14:15# the USA won the pie flinging race.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18# The incredible Donovan held a note and a person.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22# With Rebecca held up high, they broke the record on their third

0:14:22 > 0:14:26# try, and Big Z's mighty throwing blew a buttock.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29# But here come the rubbish bits...

0:14:29 > 0:14:31# The outtakes! #

0:14:31 > 0:14:32FART NOISE

0:14:34 > 0:14:35SCREAMS

0:14:35 > 0:14:39This is weird and slightly scary but fun!
