The Cube

Very fun, gets you thinking, the presenter is funny at times, such wide range of games and people. This game show is non political which makes the difference from the far left BBC.

The Cube. A show I miss with all my heart. It's such a classic that I think should be revived, obviously without Philip Schofield and not receiving the Weakest Link affect by just giving it celebrity specials. It's not a show that requires general knowledge, it's a game of skill and reflexes that is fun to watch and the stakes are definitely high. What makes this better is that only ONE player has won The Cube, and that's Mo Farah in an Olympic special. That in itself shows that winning this show is a challenge. If it is brought back, keep the one player format instead of the two player one in the revival in 2020 because it's a lot more challenging then.

Definitely a 10/10.

The Cube has fast become one of ITV's biggest game shows and the fact that it's been turned into 'celebrity' and 'Olympic' specials only reinforce this.

However since Mo Farah defeated the cube in an episode aired this summer (and repeated several times just in case anyone missed it) the show for me has lost it's edge because now we know that the Cube can be beaten what really is the point? It's like Deal or No Deal or Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - once we've seen one person win the jackpot we've seen it. It's not exciting anymore and no amount of 'new games' really replace that buzz.

Of course as yet a member of the general public winning the big money but once that happens (and we have the surely inevitable show where host Phillip Schofield has a go) I think the Cube could soon face being boxed up.
