BBC - Destination X

Oh yes, bring it in, less than 1.5 miles away. Episode one.

Is this the programme hosted by Rob Brydon? Mrs P had it on and I watched a bit through a haze of sleepiness after a day's riding. It looked like utter garbage to me.

Sadly I could see Mrs P was fully engaged, she watches a lot of terrible television, which means I'll have to suffer more of this.

Is this TV equivalent of the "Name that Road" thread?

Which reminds me - my latest road has no takers... time for a clue!

I saw plenty of clues to Paris, Alsace and Switzerland. Didn't see how to rule out the false leads. Might have done better had i not nodded off.

So... Quite liked the concept but it didn't grab me sufficiently.

At least it didn't make me feel stupid, like Genius Game did!

Well done Ming!

Shall we put your badge on the fridge door? Hmmm?

So it was Paris, looking how they went odds on London or Brussels tonight I woud think.

 

[Time Waster]

Was that the one with German and French language, Alsace traditional clothing and an Alsatian dog making an appearance?

So bloody obvious we were screaming at the TV!

It was terrible programme. I feel very much sorry for the guy whose wife is hooked on it. That's one programme we'll not waste any more of our time on!

Plainly not

Another quiz that is much easier at home. It was obvious after the throne mart anagram, and the name segment on the map clinched it.
Like some other programmes it relies increasingly for interest on seeing how devious people can be for money.
Not worth following through to the end.

Might be better on C4 or C5 as it would have to have a good chunk chopped out for the advert

The contestants are also a bit dim. Let’s share everything we know / work out. Erm you’re just increasing the chances you will lose.
