Not a problem- my own initial thoughts blamed the immobiliser but tests with the "dead" key disproved that.

Many thanks for your diagnostic approach. The fact that it starts so vigorously and then dies does suggest that something electronic is cutting the sparks. I would say that here's too much fuel around for it to cut so quickly due to lack of.

Many posts/clips point to the cam or crank sensors but if there's no signal from any of those, again- it wouldn't start. And there are no OBD codes relating to those. As they are a known problem area, I will probably replace them at some time anyway.
