With the caveat that it screens earlier on Tuesday night on 22 / Plus / whatever it’s called this week
I meant Kate Jenkinson. Can you edit my post David.
Why dont ten put the cube on wed and thurs? Put googlebox on after it on thurs?
Actually think the cube is on the wrong night. Mondays would work better in my view.
The Cube reminds me of Slide Show. Well produced, but the will wear off quite dramatically. There is too much other stuff worth watching.
Someone said they did not like the slow motion aspect of The Cube. I sort of agree. Is Amazing Grace a copy of Call The Midwife?
I could told you that Amazing Grace would win the timeslot . It’s a new show and people would be curious about it . However I can’t stand [Edit: Kate Jenkinson] and her acting . She’s bad in Wentworth and she hasn’t improved .
Kate Atkinson isn’t in the show.
Don’t you mean Kate Jenkinson.
Absolutely loved The Cube again. Give me one episode a week and I’ll be happy for the rest of the year.
I watched amazing grace. I didn’t mind it, I found it a bit strange in some parts but I’ll be back next week to watch it.
Think The Cube could improve, although I think 350k is quite good for a 10 game show.
I only watched Amazing Grace to see Alex Dimitriades who wasn’t in the episode. Agree with the review on this site that the soundtrack was quite out of place. I definitely don’t think I am the demographic for this show, so most likely will not return.
Episode 2 for Alex.
Gave up, again, on The Cube. Visually a dog’s breakfast.
I also think Andy Lee’s charisma just doesn’t come through.
Charisma??
I think all of his charisma was on display
Andy is laid back, more friend than host, which is fine by me.
I reckon Andy Lee is a breath of fresh air as a host. So good to have someone different hosting a game show.
Agree
I think hes awesome!! Love him hosting this
Cube goes pear-shaped.
Hey I said 380K for The Cube last night ,close 😃
I actually thought of your comment when I saw the numbers ! Seems to me that the TV powers that be should pay more attention to the comments posted on here. A lot of knowledgeable people.
Pembrokeshire and Amazing Grace were both very good, watched AG on broadcast and then caught-up on Pem on 7Plus (didn’t realise two eps had already aired though?) Top work by producers on both. I’d had Pembroke recommended to me beforehand also.
