BBC broke TV's golden rule with boring new series Destination X – no wonder a contestant got up and left
SOMETHING odd happened about halfway through episode one of BBC1's heavily trailed new reality show, Destination X. One of the contestants, Mahdi, simply got up and left. 6 Destination X is hosted by the unfortunate Rob Brydon who takes an eternity to explain what's going on to the 13 contestants Credit: PA 6 One of the contestants, Mahdi, simply got up and left - he just seemed a bit bored Credit: BBC He wasn't angry, or upset, let alone put off by the fact, 30 minutes earlier, he'd told everyone: 'I come from Tottenham, da trenches. You know what I'm sayin'.' He just seemed a bit bored. And you know what? I couldn't entirely blame Mahdi. Both of us had probably seen enough, by then, to know we were on to a loser with BBC breaking one of television's golden rules: If you've got a hit as big as The Traitors or Race Across The World, you leave it well alone. Let ITV and Netflix tie themselves in knots with hopeless rip-offs like The very last thing you should do, in the Beeb's position, of course, is weld those two famously successful formats together in one pan-European charabanc, with a 'games-master, guide and guru' who looks like he's been styled by Basil Brush. No prizes for guessing then exactly what they've done with Destination X, hosted by the unfortunate The nuts of it is, though, a 'guess where the f*** you are in Europe ?' contest, with the furthest away contestant being eliminated at the end of each show. Low-level cunning An idea that probably sounded great at the first meeting. The practical issue here, though, is one road sign or chance encounter with a local could blow the entire project out of the water. And so, apart from the brief moments when the contestants are allowed to gawp at a location clue, via an electronically controlled blindfold called the X Goggles, they're just thundering around the continent in two blacked-out coaches, staring at nothing more scenic than each other. Fans stunned as THREE Destination X contestants are immediately axed in brutal opening twist Result? Not only does the show look more like Channel 4's Coach Trip has been hijacked by Hezbollah, during the Beirut leg, it sounds like it as well — especially when Ben and Saskia are left discussing on- board bathroom arrangements. 'I think we have to make a rule. Everyone has to sit down when they go to the toilet.' 'As opposed to what?' If, from that question, you've guessed it's not exactly the Brains Trust BBC1 has assembled here, then I should point out they seem to be a pleasant bunch with a relaxed, happy-go-lucky attitude to life. What they don't appear to have is a second language between them. Nor do they even possess the sort of low-level cunning that would realise, given the BBC is the most snootily middle-class institution in Britain, that Benidorm, Torremolinos, Hamburg's Reeperbahn or anywhere else serviced by EasyJet is probably off limits, but they'll be all over France and Italy like scatter cushions in an Islington townhouse. 6 BBC breaks one of television's golden rules with Destination X: If you've got a hit as big as The Traitors or Race Across The World, you leave it well alone Credit: PA If this process wasn't already disorientating enough, a whole new level of confusion is added by the clues, which are either so vague as to be pointless — 'This was one of the first places in the world to adopt street lighting' (relax, you're not in Tower Hamlets) — or they're questions which offer only two possible responses: 'How many times did Taylor Swift perform her Eras tour in the country you are now in?' A) Don't know. B) Don't care. Ungrateful gesture Occasionally, Rob will also offer to show one of them something 'at the back of the bus', and they can either tell another contestant or BBC1's head of HR, which seems to have been Mahdi's cue for making his excuses and leaving. A spectacularly ungrateful gesture from the lad, no matter how bored he got, if I'm honest. The one person I do actually feel sorry for, though, is Rob Brydon, a huge talent who's one of the very few people left on television capable of transforming a format and making you believe the medium is still some sort of meritocracy. The show may gather some momentum as it proceeds, obviously, but the only real comfort I've got for him at the moment is that Destination X could still make for one hell of a celebrity spin-off, with Terry Waite. Unexpected morons in the bagging area TIPPING Point, Ben Shephard: 'In 2020 Australia introduced a dollar coin design that celebrated which airline?' Liz: 'British Airways.' The Chase, Bradley Walsh: 'The terminal velocity of a free-falling parachutist is 150 miles per what?' Seb: 'Second.' And Impossible, Rick Edwards, offering alternative answers of B) Barron or C) Ivanka to the question: 'Which of Donald Trump's children was appointed an official adviser to the President in 2017?' Pete: 'A) Judd Trump.'

The first time the entire history of mankind has been told via the medium of bucket list holiday locations. You can only marvel then at the luck of presenter Ella Al- Shamahi who starts this series, like mankind itself, in east Africa, where the scale of our development and migration cannot be fully understood unless you go on a safari and stare at some giraffes, apparently. From there, Ella wafts her way round the globe via a waterfall in Sri Lanka, Morocco , Botswana, France's Rhone Valley, the Alps and a beach on the paradise island of Flores, in Indonesia, where our ancestors may (or may not) have first set off for Australia . Because these great milestones in evolution never seem to take place behind a shopping precinct in Grimsby, do they? Whatever exotic resort Ella wafts into, though, someone else has done the leg work for her already. In Flores it's Dr Thomas Sutikna, who discovered the 70,000-year-old skeleton of 'an adult woman, the size of a child, with a very small brain', yet somehow resisted the temptation to name her Homo Jimmykrankieus. For all the BBC's breathtaking extravagance, though, the most annoying thing about Human is the underlying political agenda of Ella, who was gazing into some beautiful European mountain valley, this week, wondering if the first homo sapiens to leave Africa, thousands of years ago, were driven by 'the same forces that drive migrants today?' A four-star hotel, Universal Credit and an Uber Eats bike? It seems unlikely, Ella. So just crack on with your gap year and spare us the lecture.

We went on what we thought was a normal cruise but were surrounded by swingers trying to have sex with us, it was awful
A WOMAN who thought she was going on a romantic cruise with her partner was left stunned after she realised what was really going on. Robyn-Jay was looking forward to her 10-day cruise, but that excitement quickly faded when she realised many of the holiday makers were swingers. 2 Robyn-Jay and her partner, William, were approached by swingers on the trip Credit: 2 Robyn-Jay said she would never go on a cruise again after her experience Credit: Taking to That's when things began to take a turn and as they decided to sit in a booth and people watch when a man came up to them to ask if they "wanted a third", Robyn-Jay claimed. But the strange encounters didn't end there, as on the second night Robyn-Jay claimed a woman called their room and tried to hook up with the couple, despite having never met them before. According to Robyn-Jay, the woman needed to know their room number, which they didn't share, to be able to call, which made the couple feel uneasy. READ MORE ON CRUISES The pair said they could also hear couples from other rooms on the ship shouting at each other from their balconies. "It's not that they were friends, they were trying to arrange hook ups," she said in the viral video. But it was what allegedly happened next that drew the line for the holidaymaker. She explained that one night she got all dressed up to enjoy some of the entertainment the cruise put on. Most read in Fabulous After finding a quiet place to sit with her partner, Robyn-Jay claimed she noticed a man sat at another tabled was staring at her. "This was something different, this was a whole other level. I felt so uncomfortable in my skin, it really gives you that horrible feeling inside," she said. Terrified sprinting tourists are LEFT BEHIND after cruise ship flees Hawaii tsunami as Brit reveals mad dash to escape That's when the man, who was sat with his wife, allegedly bent down to try and look up Robyn-Jay's skirt. She went on to explain that her partner, William, soon noticed and called the man out on his behaviour before he got up and left with his wife. The holidaymaker went on to claim that she even saw an older man act inappropriately towards a young girl on the ship and he was overly touchy with her. "I just really think [cruises are] a place for a bit of lawlessness and I think people go there knowing that and I honestly dread to think what goes on in the eyes of other people," she said. After sharing her experience, people chimed in to share their experiences on cruise ships, and many thought Robyn-Jay got unlucky. "I've just been on a Marella Cruise and never experienced anything like this," one person said. And a second agreed: "Been on a few cruises - not my experience," they commented on the video. "This could have happened absolutely anywhere, it's not because you were on a cruise. It's also completely common knowledge that cruises are swinger's paradise," someone else wrote. And someone who claimed to work for a cruise company added: "This is a well known thing on some cruise ships. "Unfortunately you have experienced some awful behaviour and some people should understand that not everyone's a swinger. Not all cruise lines behave like this." Pros and cons of going on a cruise ship Whether you're considering a long holiday, working remotely or even living on board a cruise ship for a few months or years, here are the pros and cons from a former cruise shipper. Pros Travel the world, learn and experience new cultures Meet new people Don't have to think or worry about room cleaning, or food Cons Internet connection can be painfully slow and expensive Limited luggage allowance so have to wear the same clothes on rotation Having no control of where the ship would go next and the possibility of visiting the same ports Having the same onboard entertainment, on-demand movies, and little choice of TV channels No fresh newspapers or new books unless someone adds them to the library Relatively the same food week after week unless major menu changes occur seasonally. Occasional rough seas, bad weather and viral outbreaks while inboard.

How Sylvia Young went from housewife charging 10p for drama lessons to theatre school boss who made Britain's top stars
FOR a housewife who started out charging ten pence for after-school drama lessons, Sylvia Young had an incredible ability to spot raw talent.

Actors who attended her classes include The school was also a conveyor belt for EastEnders stars, with Nick Berry, Letitia Dean, Adam Woodyatt and Dean Gaffney all passing through its doors. READ MORE ON DRAMA SCHOOLS Stage fright But there were problems along the way. In 1998 one of the drama masters was arrested for indecent assault, and the company struggled to survive the Covid shutdown. The pressures of fame also proved too much for some former pupils, including the late Winehouse and EastEnders' original Mark Fowler, David Scarboro, who was found at the bottom of cliffs as Beachy Head in East Sussex in 1988. Sylvia, though, was loved by her former pupils, many of whom paid tribute to the 'backstage matriarch'. Keeley Hawes wrote: 'I wouldn't have the career I have today without her help'. Most read in Celebrity And All Saints singer Nicole Appleton commented: 'This is going to really affect us all who were lucky enough to be part of her amazing world growing up. What a time, the best memories.' DJ Tony Blackburn added: 'She was a very lovely lady who I had the privilege of knowing for many years. She will be sadly missed.' Winehouse Shows Star Quality Actress Sadie Frost commented online: 'What a woman, what a family, what a legacy! Sending everyone so much love and support. She was always so lovely to me.' And TV and radio presenter Kate Thornton said she 'meant so much to so many'. Sylvia did not boast about the success of her students and the school's website does not mention its incredible roster of ex-pupils. But it is hard to imagine a single drama teacher ever having as much impact as her. Sylvia's two daughters, Alison and Frances Ruffelle, who are directors of the theatre school, said: 'Our mum was a true visionary. 'She gave young people from all walks of life the chance to pursue their performing arts skills to the highest standard. 'Her rare ability to recognise raw talent and encourage all her students contributed to the richness of today's theatre and music world, even winning herself an Olivier Award along the way.' 15 Pop star Rita Ora also attended Sylvia's school Credit: Getty 15 Rita Ora pictured as a student of the Sylvia Young Theatre School Credit: John Clark/22five Publishing 15 Denise Van Outen was a product of the prestigious school Credit: Getty 15 A young and smiling Denise at Sylvia's school Credit: YouTube Sylvia made it to the top of the British entertainment industry the hard way. She was the eldest of nine children born to Abraham Bakal, a tailor's presser, and housewife Sophie in London's East End. Born in 1939 just after the outbreak of World War Two she remembered the air raid sirens during the Blitz of the capital. She was evacuated to a village near At the local library she was gripped by reading plays and would meet up with friends to perform them. While still at school she joined a theatre group in North London, but her dreams of treading the boards in the West End were dashed by stage fright. She said: 'I used to lose my voice before every production. When I think about it, they were sort of panic attacks.' Instead, she married telephone engineer Norman Ruffell in 1961 and stayed at home to look after their two daughters. When Alison and Frances attended primary school, Sylvia started teaching drama to their fellow pupils. It cost just ten pence and the kids also got a cup of orange squash and a biscuit. Word spread and when her students got the nickname the Young-uns, Sylvia decided to adopt the surname Young for business purposes. The first Sylvia Young Theatre School was set up in 1981 in Drury Lane in the heart of London's theatre district. Two years later, it moved to a former church school in Marylebone in central London, where most of its famous pupils got their start. Even though it is fee-paying, everyone has to pass an audition — and only one in 25 applicants are successful. 15 Dua Lipa, who has won seven Brit awards and three Grammys Credit: Redferns 15 She did not know she could sing until a teacher at the Sylvia Young Theatre School told her how good she was Credit: Instagram 15 Emma Bunton joining the Spice Girls was thanks to Sylvia's school Credit: Getty 15 It was thanks to talent scouts and casting agents putting up requests on the notice board at the school Credit: Shutterstock Editorial It costs up to £7,000 per term for full-time students and only has places for 250 pupils aged ten to 16. There are bursaries and fee reductions for pupils from less well-off backgrounds, plus a Saturday school and part-time classes. Sylvia was always keen to avoid it being a school for rich kids. When she took an assembly she would ask pupils, 'What mustn't we be?', and they would shout back, 'Stage school brats'. Keeping kids level-headed when stardom beckoned was also important for the teacher. She said: 'I offer good training and like to keep the students as individual as possible. 'We develop a lot of confidence and communication skills. Of course they want immediate stardom, but they're not expecting it. You don't find notices up here about who's doing what. It is actually played down tremendously.' 'Baby Spice was lovely' A need for discipline even applied to Sylvia's daughter Frances, who she expelled from the school. Frances clearly got over it, going on to have a career in musical theatre and representing the United Kingdom in the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, finishing tenth. Those genes were strong, with Frances' daughter, stage name Eliza Doolittle, having a Top Five hit with Pack Up in 2010. The ever-rebellious Amy Winehouse, who died in 2011 aged 27 from accidental alcohol poisoning, claimed to have been kicked out, too. She said: 'I was just being a brat and being disruptive and so on. I loved it there, I didn't have a problem, I just didn't want to conform. 'And they didn't like me wearing a nose piercing.' But Sylvia did not want Amy to leave. She said: 'She would upset the academic teachers, except the English teacher who thought she'd be a novelist. She seemed to be just loved. But she was naughty.' Other singers were clearly inspired by their time at the school, which moved to new premises in Westminster in 2010. 15 Billie Piper had her acting skills honed thanks to Sylvia Credit: Getty 15 Billie attended the Sylvia Young Theatre School Credit: News Group Newspapers Ltd 15 Sylvia was loved by her former pupils, many of whom paid tribute to the 'backstage matriarch' Credit: Alamy She said, 'I was terrified', but that the vocal coach 'was the first person to tell me I could sing'. Talent scouts and casting agents would put up requests on the notice board at the school. One such posting led to Emma Bunton joining the Spice Girls. Of Baby Spice, Sylvia said: 'She got away with whatever she could. But she was a lovely, happy-go-lucky individual with a sweet singing voice.' Groups were also formed by Sylvia's ex-pupils. All Saints singer Melanie Blatt became best friends with But Melanie was not complimentary about the school, once saying: 'I just found the whole thing really up its own arse.' Casting agents did, however, hold the classes in very high regard. The professionalism instilled in the students meant that producers from major British TV shows such as EastEnders and Grange Hill kept coming back for more. Hundreds, if not thousands, of less well-known performers treading the boards of Britain's stages also have the school's ethos to thank for their success. Those achievements were recognised in the 2005 Honours List when Sylvia was awarded an OBE for services to the arts. Sir Cameron Mackintosh, who has produced shows including Les Miserables and Cats, said: 'The show that provided the greatest showcase for the young actors she discovered and nurtured is undoubtedly Oliver! which has featured hundreds of her students over the years. 'Sylvia was a pioneer who became a caring but formidable children's agent.'
