Destination X, BBC1, 9 pm<\/span><\/h3>\nGet your X goggles ready, as it\u2019s time for the first of this week\u2019s instalments of the addictive mystery tour. While the series began in a wholesome Race Across the World<\/em> mode, with apprehensive contestants excited to get to know each other and share ideas, it quickly took on more of a Traitors<\/em> edge as episodes unfolded.<\/p>\nBut there are no corners of a castle to whisper in here, just an increasingly claustrophobic bus! Tonight, host Rob Brydon sets a challenge that will test not only contestants\u2019 memory and reflexes, but also their loyalty to each other \u2013 and can they work out if an \u2018accidental\u2019 view outside is real or not\u2026? Continues tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Tonight, host Stephen Mangan meets the guests at the pool for a fairly low-key Hotel Game before the real drama kicks off with an intense Day Trip Challenge in which they compete to build the tallest tower from cans found on the beach. Continues tomorrow.<\/p>\n
