With the announcement of The Cube making a comeback, here’s a very fast turnaround Plays Badly on the The Cube app.
So, erm, the Deadline article claims it will have a prize money bump?
Forgive me for being pretty sure it won’t. Or shouldn’t, at least. It’ll just go full Greed and have people walking away halfway through. There is no way a British contestant pool in 2020 will risk really big money on anything with any sense of the unknown, IMO.
The Cube is coming back?!
Noted as an addenum to the Floor is Lava post, but I’ve added the link to the Deadline article here for reference.
Nick Foster has added a lost music cue to Soundcloud amongst his other Cube stuff (Mega-Intense is a personal fave):

That first game…
Nick, you took the title of this series far too literally. :p
The thing about Symmetry is that NOW I can get my head around it, but I just couldn’t figure it out at the time. It’d be a lot easier to visualise if I could stand side on to it.
Also this reminds me how badly I wanted to be on the Cube. I think I could do quite well at it. I’m not very good at any one mental or athletic thing, but I’m pretty good at a lot of random things.
I wonder if this commission is ITV’s insurance policy against having to ditch Dancing On Ice next January, due to social distancing, or riding out the second or even third wave of the pandemic?
Well… the winter 2021 run of Love Island got yoinked on, I think, the same day.
That certainly fits your hypothesis.
Are there any game show fans left, in any English-speaking country, who don’t like marble racing by this point? You probably know that it was featured on ESPN as part of their annual “ESPN The Ocho” festival of less usual sports programming – i.e., they played some YouTube videos to fill a gap cheaply – but you may also have heard passing mention that it got its own segment as the last five minutes or so of a Last Week Tonight with John Oliver routine on sports under CoVID-19. The official video of the blocked in this country, but that’s never stopped Dailymotion, obviously.
In other news, after both magic legend and game show hosting legend sadly passed away in March 2016, his Twitter account has sparked back into life a few days ago. A rather acid wit suggested he was disappointed that the first tweet wasn’t “Now that‘s magic”.
And another legend has passed away today – snooker’s Willie Thorne.
So here’s his record-breaking Pocket Money round:
I used to play cards at Willie’s Cambridge snooker club, where Neil Robertson’s a regular.
That’s my Willie Thorne anecdote.
I’ve found someone else with the hobby of recreating TV presentation graphics and show title sequences. They have a very good, slightly lounge-y version of Blockbusters version 1, a modern and slightly stripped-back version of Connections (!!) and a thoroughly impressive marginally fantasy version of Going for Gold, among loads of other non-game show content. It’s all very impressive if you like this sort of thing, which I do.
