Ben Shires investigates the world of record breaking and record breakers. Ben gets up officially early to join a coach full of record attempters from Eastbourne as they head to London to try and squeeze 28 women into a mini.

Haruka is in Japan to meet the incomparable Cherry Yoshitake. Cherry's a man with a nice line in glittery shorts but he also has a backside of steel. He endeavours to take the record for most walnuts cracked by sitting on them in one minute.

Al is in Florida, where surf dude Bernie Boehm hangs out. He's attempting to combine his two greatest skills, surfing and spinning things on his fingers, in a record attempt for spinning a basketball while surfing.

Still in America, we see a guy jump out of a plane at a death-defying 3,000 metres without a parachute. But don't worry - his parachute is thrown out of the plane separately and all he has to do is to catch up with it and attach himself to it - Officially Bonkers.

And Ben travels to Germany in search of a very clever canine. Gustl isn't just a cute mutt, he already holds a Guinness World Record for most clothes taken off a washing line in one minute. Hopefully Ben's lederhosen outfit won't put Gustl off his attempt to become Officially Amazing again as he tries to break the 'most knots undone by a dog in one minute'. Show less
