007 Road to a Million

Bit of an emergency blip tonight as I haven't had the opportunity to take any photographs.
I've been watching, on Amazon Prime Video, the first series of '007 - Road to a Million' where a number of pairs of people are given Bond related tasks with each task being worth an amount of money, eventually leading to £1,000,000. If they get the questions right that is. If they fail on one question they are then disqualified, but they keep the money they have earned so far if they have made it to the final 3 pairs.
I'm really not into reality type shows but I've found this one fascination, and also horrifying at some of the tasks. I'll not tell you any more but here are two examples of the questions, in episode 7;

For £300,000, in the game of craps everyone knows 'Snake Eyes' is a double one, but what is a double two known as?
Jimmy Hicks
Ballerina
Man Alive
(N.B. this one can be worked out if you think about it)

Legend has it that the martini cocktail was invented by Martini de Arma di Taggio, in New York in 1910.
For £300,000 Who is it said he was making it for?
(N.B. this was a complete guess but they got it right.)

Looking forward to the second series. One thing I love about it is they use music from the Bond movies  :-)
