DESTINATION X TO HIT THE ROAD FOR SECOND SERIES ON BBC AFTER MONTHS OF SILENCE BY BBC

EXCLUSIVE

After months of silence, Destination X looks finally set to hit the road again for a second series on BBC One.

However, TV Zone understands filming isn't due to begin until much later this year, meaning the show will not be airing in the Summer slot it occupied last year. The delayed filming schedule means the show may not hit screens until this time next year, with the BBC yet to open applications. The BBC declined to comment when approached by TV Zone.

Destination X is played out over an incredible journey through Europe, a journey where things are not what they seem. Rob Brydon is the games master who takes carefully selected players on board the X-bus and asks them one simple question - where the X are they?

With blacked-out windows, all they have to do is try to deduce where in the world they are, because at the end of every episode, they must place an X on a map. The closest stay on the bus - the furthest away is eliminated from the competition. In the end, one walks away with a cash prize of £100,000.

Each episode sees Rob take the adventurers on another incredible leg of the journey - a fantastical trek that turns Europe into a board game, with twists and turns around every corner.

Epic challenges offer clues to those smart enough to figure them out, but players - and viewers - beware, there are also some red herrings scattered around.

Previous episodes of Destination X are available on BBC iPlayer.
