10. Come Fly With Me
February 3, 2024
From the moment the Wright Brothers' plane first took to the air, myths around aviation have swirled. The MythBusters find out if a huge conveyor belt can move a plane fast enough for it to take off; if tennis can be played in-flight on a wing; and if the tail section of a plane could create a survival bubble for a passenger during an air crash.
9. Jet Well Soon
February 3, 2024
In this 'thrust-see' episode, the MythBusters are investigating home-made jets and rockets. A jet engine creates thrust using a fast-moving gas as a form of propulsion, and we all know they can power aircraft. But can they be made from an ordinary unmodified barrel? And can you create your own jetpack from plans downloaded from the internet?
8. Sporting Chance
February 3, 2024
Using brains and brawn, the MythBusters investigate a full field of sporting myths. Could a team of rowers build up enough thrust to tow a waterskier? Is sliding into base the fastest method for baseball mastery? really have its hide whacked off? And could an explosion improve your golf putting?
7. Beast Mode
February 3, 2024
The MythBusters take on mysteries about our inscrutable animal friends. They discover if a bull in a china shop really makes a heck of a mess; if goldfish have a 3 second memory and what's the best way to deter a bear.
6. Super Human

The MythBusters analyse just how advanced some ancient societies were.

Finally, could the Chinese have used an acoustic drum as an early warning system for approaching armies?
3. Push & Pull
February 3, 2024

2. Strike It Lucky
February 3, 2024
With a typical strike measuring around 300 million volts, lightning is the most powerful electrical force on Earth.

1. The Fast & The Curious
February 3, 2024
The MythBusters investigate the scientific principles required to go really, really fast. They find out if a toy car can roll down a quarter mile track faster than a real car. Then Jamie suits up for a dangerous pond-skimming attempt on a mission to discover the secrets of motorcycle hydroplaning.
