Programmes in which a jumpsuit-clad Croft is required to bound through the undergrowth seem more her line. "They're relaxed and exciting," she says, accounting for their appeal. "That's what I'd say [she looks uneasily to her agent], wouldn't you? They're totally action-packed, with sporty, natural people taking part."

And such fun, naturally.

"THE INTERCEPTOR"

"He's like one of those childhood characters you grow up with", says Sean O'Kane, the man behind the Interceptor, who, laser gun in hand, zaps contestants from a helicopter to prevent them from extracting the £1,000 locked securely inside one of their backpacks.

Capering in black leather is a new adventure for Glaswegian O'Kane: "I've had small parts in Cagney & Lacey, some movies and commercials everywhere from Asia to Africa: deodorants, cars, toothpaste...you name it, I've done it. I've also done stunt work. I run, work out, do weights; I guess that's why they chose me. I went for the audition on a whim," he adds. "I want meaty, meaty parts, but the Interceptor's great exposure for me; like a cartoon character come to life."
