Guinness World Records

The children’s BBC show Record Breakers is to be rebooted after 24 years off air – with the working title World Record Breakers: The Rivals.

Record Breakers, which ran from 1972 to 2001, featured world record attempts and interviews with record holders. It was originally presented by Roy Castle with Guinness World Records founders Norris McWhirter and Ross McWhirter.

We would like to hear about your memories of the original Record Breakers. Did it inspire you to take up a particular hobby, or even break a record yourself?
