Haruka meets Asimo, the world's fastest running humanoid robot.

Series about the world of official record breaking. Featuring a man pulling a bus with his teeth and one of the world's most advanced robots.

Ben Shires investigates the world of record breaking and record breakers. Ben is in London where Ben finds Igor Zaripov, a circus strongman renowned for feats of incredible human strength: using his teeth. He is attempting the Guinness World Record for the heaviest road vehicle pulled by teeth, in this case a bus weighing a teeth-wrenching 14 tonnes.

In Japan, Haruka meets the officially amazing Asimo, the world's fastest running humanoid robot. He is also, unofficially, the cutest. He invites Haruka to play some sport with him and shows her his unbelievable running skills.

Ben zips over to Las Vegas teaming up with Al to tackle the Stratosphere, the highest tower in the world you can jump from - wearing a safety harness. At 260 metres high, they're roughly the height of 60 of Igor's buses piled up. An awesome, blood-curdling challenge for the intrepid duo - officially frightening.

Record-breaking machine Sizzlin Steve is in Portsmouth for another attempt. With several hundred plastic cups at the ready he tries to sizzle to the record for the tallest plastic cup pyramid. Ben and the official adjudicator are there to see him sizzle.

16-year-old Jordan is a brilliant young magician who can do staggering tricks. He is doing something remarkable with a card but there's no magic involved. He attempts the record for the highest throw of a playing card. The record at the moment is 8.2 metres and Jordan is aiming between 15 and 20 metres. That will be magic, and Officially Amazing.
