How does the show work?

The show creators have outlined how the competition will work, sharing: "Join Succession star Brian Cox who plays 'The Controller', a mysterious meddlesome figure who has millions of pounds to give away - but he certainly won’t be making it easy. As the two-person teams scramble across famous James Bond movie locations and destinations such as the Scottish Highlands, Venice and Jamaica they must conquer obstacles, answer questions hidden in different locations and ensure they can progress to the next challenge and make it to the end. But The Controller is always watching, and revelling in their discomfort..."

There will be a total of 10 questions around the world for each pair of contestants to answer. The answer to each question is only found upon the completion of Bond-esque tasks that will put test their physical and mental strength. If answered correctly, the pair keeps the cash and continues to the next. One wrong move, and their adventure is over.
