First broadcast: on CBBC ChannelLatest broadcast: on CBBC HD

Ben Shires investigates the world of record breaking and record breakers. Ben meets Colin Furze as he attempts to break the Guinness World Record for the world's fastest pram. This is no ordinary baby carrier: Colin's souped it up with a motorbike engine. But can it pass the thirty miles-per-hour test?

Al Jackson is in Las Vegas to find out some trade secrets from Antonio Restivo. Antonio is the holder of the record for the world's highest flame by a fire-breather and one cool dude - despite the flames.

Back in the UK, Shayne Hultgren, who likes to be known as the Space Cowboy, just can't stop attempting records. He fights for the record for the most bites taken out of apples while juggling them - scrumptious!

We reveal some amazing record-breaking animals, and in Japan, Haruka Kuroda discovers how Guinness World Record breaker Kazuhiro Watanabe achieves greatness. He's the proud owner of the world's tallest mohawk. He shows Haruka the challenge of making his hair stand on end and of getting around Tokyo with an extra metre on top of his head.

Ben finishes at a very British record attempt. Stephanie Celik is amazing at wrapping chips - but can she become Officially Amazing? She'll try to wrap five bags of chips in under one minute under the watchful eyes of the adjudicator! Show less
