This Week's Video Picks

Our Top 5 Videos of the Week - Friday 18 September

This week's picks include a visit to the area of Highgate where Hitler's sister and nephew lived during the war, a tight squeeze for Bear Grylls and a very strange tattoo choice at the London Ink studios.

1. Wartime London with Harry Harris: Hitler's Sister
During the 30s, Adolf Hitler's sister-in-law and nephew lived in Highgate, North London. In this clip, Harry Harris tells of how they moved to London after Hitler's brother abandoned the family and moved back to Germany to run a teashop. He also reveals that Bridget Hitler was not good at paying bills - and was in fact due in court on day Hitler himself invaded Poland!

2. London Ink - Unusual Tattoo
Dan's never been asked to do a tattoo of a sheep, a mackerel and a tube train, which you'd think was perfectly normal. But now a female American tourist has asked him to do exactly that. Find out the meaning behind her bizarre tattoo idea.

3. Born Survivor: Ice Cave Squeeze
A dangerous arctic ice cave is the kind of terrain that many people would avoid, but Bear Grylls isn't one of them. Using reindeer antlers to aid his grip, he lowers himself into the open icy hole in the earth's surface with very little room for error. How tight a hole is he willing to get himself into?

4. Raging Planet: Car vs. Flash Flood
When a year's worth of rain was dumped on Las Vegas in one day in 2003, flash floods raged out of control. The hard desert dirt couldn't soak up the water in time, and even defences built for the purpose of flood protection couldn't work quickly enough.

5. Weird True & Freaky: Cage Diving Shark Attack
In this clip, a cage dive in South Africa turns a routine dive into deadly nightmare. This terrifying tourism attraction involves getting face to face with one of the deadliest animals on earth, but nobody predicted that a shark might actually get into a cage while the tourists were inside.
