	Record Breakers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Record Breakers was a British Guinness Book of Records themed children's TV show, originally presented by Roy Castle with twin brothers Norris McWhirter and Ross McWhirter.
		As well as interviews with people who held British or World records, each edition would include a feature in which the studio audience would test the McWhirter brothers on their (almost infallible) knowledge of records, and the climax of each show would usually be a world record attempt in the studio.
		Ross, the quieter of the two, was shot dead by a Provisional IRA assassin in 1975, but his brother continued to appear on the show in the "Norris On The Spot" feature.

		If we are considering an unlimited speed record it may be assumed that the craft has only to run over a measured mile.
		To be fair, however, the performance is all the more creditable when it is realised that this boat has been successful in races around a course requiring a considerable degree of maneuverability and "seaworthiness" as opposed to simply having to achieve a very high speed in a straight line.
