Various teams of two (two brothers, or a married couple, or friends who work in a noble profession such as nursing) are thrown into lush spy-themed challenges – climb a mountain and retrieve a suitcase, say, or go into the jungle and retrieve a suitcase, or go to Italy and retrieve a suitcase. It’s called 007: Road to a Million (Prime Video, from 10 November) and, on paper, it makes absolutely no sense at all. I should probably hurry up.Īmazon has done a new series where, for some reason, Brian Cox is torturing people who like James Bond. Yep, the suitcase has started beeping very rapidly. “I have a little job for you … see if you can get through an entire TV preview about a new Bond-themed challenge show on Prime Video without succumbing to trope.” I think it may be a little late for that. “I see you’ve been keeping you busy.” I don’t really know what that means, device. “Hello there, Watcher,” the device purrs. Ah, no: I’ve stumbled across a smart chrome suitcase with three bleeping kill-switch buttons inside, and a device playing a disembodied voice.
