Destination X Wed/Thurs 9pm BBC 1 TV Pace

[EineReiseDurchDieZeit]

Anyone planning on watching this?

Rob Brydon hosts as contestants are driven around Europe in a blacked out bus, trying to guess where they are. I’ve seen clips of the US Version, it might be good!

Tonight is 4 of 10 , so a few more weeks yet , but two in one week is good.

I think we need to see more of the pilot (Josh?). Surely he’d have at least a basic grasp of a) geography and b) problem solving.

Little bit concerned that one of them (Judith? Not sure I’ve worked out everyone yet) is a nuclear scientist but seems to have as little sense as the rest of them.

I meant Judith in this comment. !

He looks too young to be a Pilot ! Makes me realize I’m getting old. lol . Judith is a nuclear scientist.

I think they’ll go to Italy or Croatia area tonight though Austria.

I don’t understand why Saskia was crying and so upset when James left. It was as if there was some sort of deep romantic relationship going on, but he made at least one comment that implied he is gay.

It all seemed very strange and a huge overreaction, especially since they are supposed to be competing against each other.

So they all know where they are at the moment.

200 km from Munich doesn't leave that many places to go to.

Destination is 196km from Munich. That is not far. My money is on Innsbruck.

Austria?

I am presuming the contestants are not shown the "distance to X" thing.

Salzburg....

They must get off the bus more than is shown. They need fresh air but also everyone is wearing clean clothes and their hair is done, make up etc.

Eyes peeled for Sound of Music references then.

Surprised there isn't a spin off showing behind the scenes...

Rob said "Room with a view". Was that not set in Florence?

How can you be a historian but not know European geography? I would think that the two would go together.

He didn’t know what a horse shoe was?

Flowers > Florence? The end destination, not where they are now.

This is taking a long time

I think there are two buses. Maybe one to sleep on and one for the day time. I think there was an ariel shot in a previous episode.

I get the feeling that they told them to put the flower in the picture. Saskia wasn’t very good at acting.

Hungary, that well-known flower growing nation. For a nuclear scientist she is very dim.

There’s definitely two buses they were shown in Episode 1, one for living, one for sleeping

Mr Trapp? Von Trapp perhaps.
