For the record, I was convinced nobody would walk away with six figures and they should probably cap it at £50k and be done with it. But I was wrong as it turns out.

They already are, aren’t they? There doesn’t appear to be any real rhyme or reason as to which game goes where, I doubt anyone is going to risk £10k with two lives left, that’s just the nature of large amounts of money. But people have certainly been giving the impression they’ve been very tempted to go on, which suggests they aren’t doing too bad a job.

A few weeks in and The Cube still works for me, but the weighting of the gamble could do with another look. If someone procrastinates before committing to taking on the £10k game when they’ve got four lives remaining, you know straight away that say they come to the £20k game with only two lives left they are definitely going to walk away, perhaps the middle games of the Cube should get slightly easy to tempt people into playing?

With BEat The Star, and now The Cube, ITV is now home to some of the barmiest games in TV history. BTS gave us competitive sausage slicing and nail banging; Beat The Star gives us such delights as ping-pong-ball-blowing, and the truly genius challenge of walking in a straight line.

And yet both shows really thrive on their banality. There’s something very exciting about watching people do something unbelievably boring!

Clearly, it’s worth saying that Off The Telly has no connection with The Cube – so we can’t help anyone at all with advice as to how to get on the show.

Yes, I too would like to know how you can be a contestant on The Cube. Is there a site for applications? Michelle

So that’s where the big perspex cube from the Channel Five quiz, 19 Keys went to!
Actually, I like this show. It’s got just enough pace, and I found myself saying aloud “he did it” after Nicky finally managed the £50,000 challenge last Saturday (saying things out aloud at the tv is normally only reserved for quiz shows).

Though I liked the use of super slo-mo’s to build up tension during the challenges, I found the cutting in of The Matrix style time-sliceing panning brought nothing to the table in terms of the additional suspence or excitement.

I actually know Nicky a little – he’s quite a local character in Waterloo and a genuinely friendly and down to earth bloke. I am pleased for him and his young family that he won this amount of money.
