First broadcast: on CBBC HDLatest broadcast: on CBBC Channel

Ben Shires catches up with the marvellous Moffatt brothers as they attempt to recapture a world record for parking a car in the smallest space possible - can they squeeze into a gap just 8.6cm longer than their car? But that's not all - the brave brothers are going to try and set a brand new record by trying to park two cars in a tiny space at the same time - breathe in!

In Italy, bearded record-breaker Antonias Continas attempts to smash a record by lifting a woman using only his facial hair. Meanwhile in Japan, Haruka meets a brother-and-sister team who are vying to set regain their world record for the most tennis balls caught with a boxing glove in 60 seconds.

Our three titans of world record-breaking, Japan's finest, Mr Cherry, America's favourite son, US Ray, and the UK's Sizzling Steve go head to head in a record attempt you could try yourself at home. They try to complete the most star jumps in one minute. Who will be successful? Will it be Steve the student, Cherry the man in the sparkling shorts or professional athlete Ray?

We also take a look at a man with the most Guinness World Records in the world, Ashrita Furman, and some of the weird and wonderful records he holds. Show less
