Rob Brydon’s Confusing but Addictive New Travel Competition Destination X

Rob Brydon hosts a discombobulating new competition, Destination X, which turns Europe into a board game. Contestants travel in windowless coaches across the continent, and by the end of each episode, they must guess their location on a map based on clues—some of which are fake—provided at stops along the way.

The show, airing at 9pm on BBC One, has been described as a mix of The Traitors and Race Across the World. The contestant whose guess is furthest from the actual location is eliminated, with the chance to win a £100,000 prize at the final destination.

Hollie Richardson of The Guardian calls it “confusing but addictive,” highlighting the unique premise where the key question is, “Where the X am I?” The series promises to keep viewers engaged as participants try to outwit the clues and each other.
