LONDON, Nov 2 (Reuters) - 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 pounds ($1.2 million).
"The idea is really to put ordinary people into a James Bond adventure and we didn't quite know how that would work out," executive producer David Glover told Reuters.
"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."

I thought 'well maybe if I do this, it's probably the nearest I'll ever get to (being a Bond villain),'" Cox said.
