In 1951, after a hunting trip, Sir Hugh Beaver and his friends got into a heated discussion about which game bird was the fastest. They couldn't reach a definitive conclusion because there was no book compiling an official list of this feat. As it happens, Beaver was the managing director of the Guinness brewery, and that discussion in a Wexford County pub led him to commission a book of facts and figures, initially intended as a promotional campaign for Guinness beer.

Saturday night, in the Collapse, Ricard Ustrell had Rumeysa Gelgy, the tallest woman in the world, as a guest. She is two metres and fifteen centimetres tall due to Weaver syndrome, which causes the body to grow too large. Gelgy lives in Turkey, and the programme showed the complexities of her plane trip to Barcelona. The 28-year-old must travel lying down, under the conditions of a medicalised flight. The sequence served as bait to announce the interview that Ustrell would do with her in a few minutes.
