Fun fun fun, the BBC are co-prodding with NBC Universal on a new Belgian format Destination X<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In it, groups of people are driven around Europe on a blacked out bus. The bus stops, and given what they can work out from what they see, real clues and fake ones, and doing challenges to earn further clues, they have to mark where they think they are on a map. The person who is furthest away gets eliminated. Presumably it’s a different place each episode and you’ll get to play along at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Might actually be good fun – great ratings on VTM in the Flemish region of Belgium, and we love a Flemish format here at The Bar which tend towards more imaginative than most. And there’s De Mol<\/strong>, which is the best show on television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It does strike me that popular Youtuber GeoWizard, amongst his travelogues and straight-line challenges and his playing of GeoGuessr, basically did this a few years ago, although I’m surprised he only seems to have done it once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
