Mythbusters,has certainly had some very interesting stories in years gone by.By far the best was the one about the escape from 'The Rock',where two prisoners collected rain coats and hid them in the roof,and somehow made an inflatable boat,they then made a hand pump-making all this in the dark over many nights,eventually the made good their escape (on a new moon).
The Mythbusters made a similar boat out of the same rain coats,and inflated it and they did get some distance from 'The Rock'. The prisoners bodies were never found,it did appear plausible that what the did could be achieved.
I found this most fascinating,I'd like to see more stories of this nature,rather than the guns,canons and explosions-which do seem more frequent these days.(and somewhat tiresome).
As to those prisoners fumbling around in the dark making that boat and making a purposeful advance on a project-well I can't help but feel they would have made great amateur astronomers!
