True to his nickname, The Controller has all the authority to decide where the contestants must go, the tasks they have to perform, and provide the questions these pairs will need to answer to proceed.

Regarding his most recent portrayal as The Controller in 007: Road to a Million, Cox has enthusiastically expressed that this opportunity has fulfilled one of his long-standing acting aspirations - to be a part of a Bond production.
