This Week's Video Picks

Time Warp hosts Jeff Lieberman and Matt Kearney (DCL)

Our Top 5 Videos of the Week - Friday 02 October

This week's picks include an interesting use for a food blender, another slimy delicacy for Bear Grylls and a look at Operation Barbarossa.

1. Time Warp - Lighter vs. Blender
The Time Warp crew want to see what happens in slow-mo when you put things into a high-powered blender. But whereas some people experiment with soups and fruit smoothies, Time Warp is taking it to the next level. For example, take seven lighters, put them in a blender, turn it on high...and stand back. Warning: DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.

2. Born Survivor: Frogs Legs
"Almost any frog is good to eat, though it might not look very tasty". Well, since when has unappetising food been a turn-off for Bear Grylls? In this clip, Bear fishes out a frog from the depths of a disused train tunnel, before gutting and devouring his captor - frogs legs and all.

3. Animal Face-Off: Rhino vs. Elephant
A true battle of the titans. To discover which of these awesome beasts is the supreme heavyweight, zoologist, Dave Salmoni and Vet. Ellen Rogers conduct a series of groundbreaking tests to evaluate the remarkable powers of two of the largest animals on earth: the African elephant and the white rhino.

4. Destroyed in Seconds - Tower Block Tumbles
When a Manilian tower block has slipped off of its foundations, with everyone evacuated and no chance of fatalities, all that can be done is to stand back and watch as the structure tips and falls into the street. So that's exactly what the hundreds of onlookers do.

5. WWII in Colour and HD: Operation Barbarossa
Operation Barbarossa was the code name for Nazi Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union during World War II that began on 22 June 1941. With the early success of the Soviet Invasion, and the German's devastating use of the Panzer tank, Moscow looked certain to fall by the end of the summer. The operation was completed in 9 days.
