The ten-part show, hosted by Rob Brydon, follows 13 contestants as they go on board the X-bus for a chance to win £100,000. With blacked-out windows, all they have to do is guess where in the world they are and mark an X on a map at the end of the episode.

What is Destination X about?
The series follows 13 contestants as they embark on an incredible journey through Europe on the X-bus. For a chance to win £100,000, all they have to do is work out where in the world they are and place an X on the map at the end of each episode. But with blacked-out windows and clues to help them, it won't be easy!
The synopsis continues: "Whoever puts their X furthest away from the location is immediately thrown off the X-bus and eliminated from the competition. In the end one walks away with a cash prize of £100,000.
"Each of the ten episodes 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.
"Who will figure out where in the world they really are? And will the players decide to share information or send each other in the wrong direction? And viewers can join in and play along at home. So can you guess where Destination X is?"
When does the show air?
Destination X airs at 9pm on Wednesday and Thursdays. The next episode will be released on BBC One on Thursday, 31 July at 9pm.
