SBS lists the episode as below

07:30 pm MYTHBUSTERS – BLOWN AWAY
In the new series of Mythbusters, Jamie and Adam revisit previously busted or confirmed myths and test them again. Mythbusters is a science-meets-popular-culture series that seeks to investigate the bizarre claims of urban legends and misconceptions about all manner of things, by putting them to the test using the rigours of modern science. The first myth that is revisited is the myth that when a person is shot at point-blank range, they go flying through the air just like in the movies. The first time the myth was tested, it was busted. However, this time there is a new Buster; a gamut of weapons, including a 50-calibre. Will Buster go flying through the air, when the team use this high powered weapon? The second myth that is revisited is the myth that when blown off a roof, a man transformed a piece of plywood into a parachute and touched down a few storeys below. Fans of the show have argued that the Mythbusters didn't take updraft into consideration. This time, they strap Tory into the back of a pickup truck holding onto a huge plywood board, thus testing a lot of updraft. Many more myths are revisited during the episode and prove once and for all, if the myths are busted or confirmed. (From the US, in English) *Series Return* CC WS
