00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.360
Throughout history, mankind has strived to beat it's records.

2
00:00:05.160 --> 00:00:07.380
Roger Bannister, and his 4 minute mile.

3
00:00:07.760 --> 00:00:11.520
Usain Bolt's 100 meters in 9.69 seconds.

4
00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.280
Neneh Cherry's "Seven Seconds".

5
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.800
Tonight, Gareth will attempt a new record:

6
00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:22.660
making a bacon sandwich in 30 seconds.

7
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:25.800
He's assembled all the essentials:

8
00:00:26.060 --> 00:00:26.940
bread,

9
00:00:27.340 --> 00:00:28.160
bacon,

10
00:00:28.420 --> 00:00:30.100
and a blow torch.

11
00:00:30.440 --> 00:00:33.620
Of course, no legendary figure works without a team.

12
00:00:33.940 --> 00:00:36.240
Edmund Hillary had Tenzing Norgay.

13
00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:39.260
The Fresh Prince had DJ Jazzy Jeff.

14
00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:41.160
And Gareth, has Sephy...

15
00:00:41.720 --> 00:00:42.580
Olly...

16
00:00:42.940 --> 00:00:44.320
Chrisy.. uh uh Chris...

17
00:00:44.680 --> 00:00:47.380
and James, the "Ketchup Holder".

18
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.640
The clock starts as soon as the flame hits the bacon.

19
00:00:52.780 --> 00:00:53.480
And they're off!

20
00:00:53.480 --> 00:00:56.280
Now, the temperature of the flame is going to be somewhere over 1000°C.

21
00:00:56.460 --> 00:00:59.720
But, the sandwich has to be edible to count, so he's got to make sure that he torches everywhere.

22
00:01:00.080 --> 00:01:03.680
Look at that! The flame licking away at the raw bacon in exactly the way that someone's tounge shouldn't.

23
00:01:04.240 --> 00:01:06.440
James is ready with the ketchup; that is his only job here today.

24
00:01:06.860 --> 00:01:08.860
The mild reaction now taking hold in the bacon.

25
00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:12.460
The heat causing amino acids and sugar to react and brown; a process generally called "delicious".

26
00:01:12.460 --> 00:01:13.200
The breads are ready.

27
00:01:13.320 --> 00:01:14.480
Still holding that ketchup there James, good job.

28
00:01:14.580 --> 00:01:17.040
Nearly done! Smoke coming off the bacon now with the clock running down,

29
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:18.640
Gareth's hair getting a little to close to the blow torch.

30
00:01:18.760 --> 00:01:19.700
We're waiting for.. There it is!

31
00:01:19.720 --> 00:01:21.420
Olly with pinpoint bacon placing precision!

32
00:01:21.440 --> 00:01:22.840
And there's the ketchup; it's an excellent ketchup pour.

33
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:24.380
And it turns out at 29.5 seconds.

34
00:01:24.440 --> 00:01:26.480
29.5! Ladies and gentlemen,

35
00:01:26.480 --> 00:01:28.480
the first 30 second bacon sandwich.

36
00:01:28.480 --> 00:01:30.700
And it's edible! It's edible!

37
00:01:30.700 --> 00:01:34.760
Congratulations to Gareth and the team; a world record set right here, right now.

38
00:01:34.760 --> 00:01:37.960
That has been the 30 second bacon sandwich.
