Yet another thing the Yanks did bigger and better than us. For the Cream era child hardly a week would pass without Roy Castle introducing another colour-saturated videotape of Record Breaking domino topplers in a Milwaukee aircraft hangar. Therein, jaundiced-looking Spielberg-alikes would spend days setting up elaborate displays under hot sodium lamps (usually suffering a cataclysmic set-back when a stray grasshopper knocked over a 10,000-tile set piece overnight). America, Holland, China… you name it, everyone had a crack at the record books.
