First broadcast: on CBBC ChannelLatest broadcast: on CBBC Channel

Ben Shires, Al Jackson and Haruka Kuroda witness breathtaking record attempts from around the world.

Ben Shires travels to the South of France to witness real-life superhero Frankie Zapata, as he takes to the sky on his water-powered hoverboard - but will Frankie be able to break a record for the most jet-powered back flips?

Those of a squeamish disposition would do well to look away when Australian 11-year-old Tom tries to break the horrifying record for the most spiders on the body! And the horror doesn't end there - we'll be taking a musical look at records involving two-headed animals, blood-drinking birds and many more spooky sights!

We meet a dog with an extraordinary talent - five-year-old labradoodle Millie can skateboard, and ride a scooter but can she travel like lightening on a barrel - backwards? With her owner Imogen, Millie will do her best to beat the record for fastest 10 meters by a dog on a barrel.

Finally, in Officially Competitive, Sizzling Steve, US Ray and the Beast From the East, Mr Cherry himself are back for another round of records you can try yourself at home - and this time they're all together in the UK. From our top secret record-breaking HQ (located just outside Woodbridge in Suffolk), these superpowers of world record breaking will go head to head to head to try and smash the record for eating jelly with chopsticks. Can one of them break it? Show less
