DESTINATION X: BBC CONFIRMS LAUNCH DATE FOR NEW REALITY ADVENTURE SERIES HOSTED BY ROB BRYDON

The BBC have announced that new 10-part reality adventure series Destination X, hosted by Rob Brydon, will launch on Wednesday 30th July and Thursday 31st July at 9pm on BBC One and iPlayer.

Merging fantasy with reality in this larger-than-life adventure competition series, viewers will follow contestants as they embark on the road trip of a lifetime but have no idea of their location. In order to win, they must figure out their mystery locations.

Once they're on the blacked-out Destination X bus, the journey transforms into a real-life board game, with challenges designed to offer clever clues as to their location, along with a few misdirects to keep them guessing.

At the end of each episode, the contestant who places an X on a map furthest from the actual location packs their bags. The first participant to reach Destination X will be crowned the winner. With high stakes and mind-blowing, spectacular gameplay, the series will keep viewers engaged and playing along on all screens.

Host Rob Brydon said: “How could I turn down the opportunity to become the mastermind of Destination X, the thrilling new travel adventure series coming to the BBC...

"It’s a show that turns the whole of Europe into a board game - manipulating the players and the audience at home along the way. I can’t wait to be the puppet master orchestrating every twist and turn as our contestants are taken on a journey where everything is not as it seems. It’s going to be a wild ride!”

Destination X begins Wednesday 30th August at 9pm on BBC One.
