007: Road to a Million – Official teaser trailer<\/h3>\n

Last night Express.co.uk attended the glitzy premiere of the first-ever non-scripted James Bond TV series, held at the newly refurbished Battersea Power Station.<\/p>\n

Prime\u2019s 007 Road to a Million pitches teams of two on an adventure around the world answering trivia questions to win up to \u00a31 million, all the while surrounded by Bond-esque locations, stunts and challenges.<\/p>\n

Brian Cox hosts the reality show as his very own Bond villain The Controller, putting contestants through trials that wouldn’t look out of place in a 007 movie.<\/p>\n

At a screening of the first episode attended by the Succession star and Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Gregg Wilson, we were treated to such comic highlights as a duo being forced to measure a live Boa Constrictor in a Venetian villa, while one couple broke down a door before it dawned up them that they’d have to weight a Tarantula. Yes, it’s something of a mash-up of Who Wants to Be a Million and I\u2019m a Celeb, but without any of the trashiness. Instead, the competition fits snuggly into the classy, globetrotting ambience of Bond\u2019s world.<\/p>\n

But just how involved were EON Productions in 007 Road to a Million really? We decided to find out by asking one of the franchise\u2019s producers in person.<\/p>\n

Bond fans will be familiar with Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson, the daughter and stepson of 007 film franchise creator ‘Cubby’ Albert R Broccoli, who head up EON Productions and the James Bond movies today. Also working closely with them is Michael\u2019s son, Associate Producer Gregg Wilson, who some suspect will one day be running the entire company.<\/p>\n

His first job on the 007 franchise was assisting composer David Arnold on the score for 1999\u2019s The World Is Not Enough, before having development, production assistance and sound design responsibilities on 2002\u2019s Die Another Day. When Pierce Brosnan was replaced by Daniel Craig in 2006\u2019s Casino Royale, Gregg joined EON Productions full time and has worked on all five of the outgoing star\u2019s Bond movies \u2013 plus the company\u2019s other features Film Stars Don\u2019t Die In Liverpool and The Rhythm Section.<\/p>\n

In between 2019\u2019s No Time To Die and the upcoming Bond 26, his focus has been on the 2022 60th anniversary celebrations and now 007 Road to a Million, which he\u2019s been particularly involved in.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

How does your involvement in the Bond films differ from when working on 007 Road to a Million?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gregg Wilson: \u201cOn the films, I\u2019m extremely hands-on and I\u2019m involved at all stages from development up until beyond release. But on this project, because we\u2019re not the actual production making it (72 Films is), I\u2019m more involved in development, the casting and setting everything up. But I\u2019m not on set when they\u2019re shooting it, that would probably be the major difference. And also the way that this was shot, they had a very small nimble crew, so it\u2019s only really a dozen people following around these contestants sometimes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then you wait to see the rushes come back, so it\u2019s different in some ways but the whole planning is very much similar. But of course, I\u2019m very much just one voice in a room of many thrashing this out. Amazon is very involved too and MGM too.\u201d<\/p>\n
