Overview

• Destination X arrives on BBC One and iPlayer on Wednesday, July 30, featuring 13 contestants who travel on an opaque-windowed coach to solve clues and avoid elimination for a £100,000 prize.
• Rob Brydon says he modelled his hosting approach on Claudia Winkleman’s “lightness of touch” to serve as a bridge between viewers and contestants.
• During filming Brydon nearly revealed a forthcoming location to the participants but they failed to hear his off-mic comment.
• The production spanned 32 days across 11,000 km of Europe with a 190-strong crew, 46 coach-mounted cameras and over 40 support vehicles.
• BBC has confirmed a diverse contestant lineup that includes endurance athletes, former detectives and a 62-year-old crime writer from Lytham.
