LONDON — From scaling mountains and cranes to coming face-to-face with crocodiles and snakes, contestants travel the world tackling James Bond-inspired challenges in new TV adventure series 007: Road To A Million in the hope of winning £1 million (S$1.7 million).
Nine pairs of participants, including nurses, retired police officers, siblings, friends and a married couple, seek to scoop the prize by answering 10 questions set by The Controller, portrayed by Scottish actor and Succession star Brian Cox, and hidden around the world.
"It's thrilling because... they're really not James Bond but they have heart and they're lovely and... they're heroic in their own way." Cox said that when he first heard about the 007 show "I went 'oh, maybe they're going to ask me to do a villain' and I thought 'no they can't do that because they haven't got a James Bond yet'.
The series begins with brothers James and Joey Bone, who are the first to wade through a loch in the Scottish Highlands in search of their starter question.
