DESTINATION X: ROB BRYDON HOSTS NEW BBC ADVENTURE SERIES, FIRST LOOK TRAILER RELEASED

The BBC have released a first look at new reality adventure competition Destination X, hosted by Rob Brydon. The series is coming soon to 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.

The series is based on the Belgian format created by Geronimo and distributed globally by Be-Entertainment. Destination X marks the second commission between NBC and the BBC following the global phenomenon of The Traitors.

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 next year...

"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!”

Dan Adamson, Managing Director at Twofour said “We are so delighted to have Rob Brydon as the host and puppet master of this incredible series.  Playful, smart and mischievous, we know Rob will strike the perfect tone and be the very best guide for our cast and audience alike, as they embark on a journey like no other.  At Twofour, we always love working with brilliant talent on our shows and there is no doubt that Rob is the perfect fit for this epic and ambitious new series.”

Catherine Catton, Head of Factual Entertainment and Events at the BBC said “Rob is the perfect host to guide our cast and audience over the course of this extraordinary road trip where nothing is quite what it seems, and we are delighted to be working with him on this amazing series”

Destination X is coming soon to BBC One and iPlayer.
