00:00 10 candidates are wandering Europe blindfolded on a car with opaque windows and must guess their location, just like the viewers.
00:07 The channel M-Silence is releasing its new reality show, Destination X, on Thursday night, which it is heavily betting on.
00:13 The first episode of this new show will be broadcast on Thursday at 9.10 pm.
00:19 Others will follow in January.
00:21 Destination X is presented not by a traditional animator, but by a personality from fiction, the actor Philippe Bas, used to action TV shows and first roles in the series Profilage on TF1 from 2012 to 2020.
00:36 When choosing him, we wanted to surprise, to explain Pierre-Guillaume Lédan, General Director of M6's programs, during the presentation of the show at the end of November.
00:46 It is the adaptation of a Belgian format created with success in early 2023 on the Flemish channel VTM and sold to five countries, including the United Kingdom, BBC and the United States, NBC.
00:58 The principle is as simple as it is effective.
01:01 The candidates, 10 at the start, travel to Europe in a large black car with opaque windows, without knowing where they are or where they are going.
01:08 Spain or Italy?
01:10 Travel by road or by sea?
01:13 The participants must guess where they are at the end of each episode.
01:18 To do this, they can rely on clues scattered during outdoor tests and observe the landscape for short periods where the windows of the car are made transparent.
01:28 But there are many traps and false leads.
01:31 At the end of the show, the candidates place on a map an X marking the place where they think they are.
01:37 The one who puts his marker the furthest from the real location is eliminated.
01:42 The final winner will win € 50,000.
01:45 Viewers can also try to solve the mystery by playing online.
01:50 All generations.
01:52 It is an experience for the participants and viewers, everyone is disoriented, as Pierre-Guillaume Lédan pointed out.
01:59 The channel had a heart attack for this "totally new" format, the "production worthy of some espionage or adventure fiction", he continued.
02:09 According to the manager, the game corresponds to what MC wants to offer, "joint listening programs", that is to say that it brings together all generations and is followed in family.
02:20 For the channel, the stake is important.
02:23 This year, it has seen its audiences erode, especially on the strategic box of primetime, the beginning of the evening.
02:30 And in recent months, several new shows have been a failure, such as "The Road of the Boxes", "Ball of Thunder at the End of the World" or "The Perfect Picture".
02:39 Sometimes we are wrong, it is not an exact science, the TV has granted Mr. Lédan.
02:44 However, the "flow programs", "entertainment" of MC are doing well, he said, invoking the "exceptional level of audience" of some historical shows, such as "Love is in the Press", broadcast since 2005, or "France has an incredible talent" since 2006.
03:02 According to Mr. Lédan, Destination X is in the line of recent programs of MC, such as "Who Wants to Be My Partner" or "The Traitors".
