AN explosive trailer for a Bond-themed gameshow features Brian Cox ­masterminding challenges ­sure to scare the Living Daylights out of contestants.

In the clip for TV series 007: Road To A Million, Cox talks over the Bond theme tune, saying: “I put real people into a James Bond adventure to win a million pounds… the only thing standing in their way, is me.” The trailer shows one challenge where a terrified contestant screams in fear while climbing to the top of a massive crane.

After his success as Logan Roy in Succession, Cox, 77, is The Controller in this new adventure series from the producers of the Bond film franchise. The Controller character has been described as “villainous and cultured”.

Cox will monitor each quest and dictate where nine teams of two people travel to and what challenges they face. Ten questions are hidden around the world. If answered correctly, the contestants bank cash, but if they get it wrong, they are out.

To get to the questions they must face Bond-inspired challenges, pushing their “physical strength and mental reserves to the limit” in stunning ­locations such as the Scottish Highlands, the Atacama Desert in Chile, the streets of Venice and the Swiss Alps.

*007: Road To A Million airs from November 10 on Prime Video.
