AMAZON has revealed a first look at Scottish actor Brian Cox as The Controller in the first trailer for the series 007: Road To A Million.
The new adventure series, from the producers of the James Bond film franchise, will see nine pairs of ordinary people endure a test of intelligence and heroism to win £1 million.
At the helm of the show will be Cox (below) who will monitor each pair’s quest and dictating where they go, what challenges they face and setting their questions, Prime Video said.
The Succession star has hidden 10 questions around the world with each question worth more money.
If answered correctly, contestants will bank the cash but their journey is over if they are wrong.
However, they must first face Bond-inspired challenges pushing their “physical strength and mental reserves to the limit”.
In the trailer, set to the iconic Bond theme music, Cox says: “I’ve put real people into a James Bond adventure, to win £1 million. The only thing standing in their way, is me.”
The trailer also provides a glimpse into the different terrains contestants will face including the Scottish Highlands, Chile’s Atacama Desert, the streets of Venice and the Swiss Alps.

Cox’s character The Controller was previously described as incredibly wealth, “villainous and cultured” and a man who “revels in the increasingly difficult journeys and questions the contestants must overcome”.
007: Road To A Million will launch on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories on November 10.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
