0:02This is the Cube, where simple tasks
0:06become epic challenges.
0:10>> Hey, let's play this. I wanted this one
0:12badly.
0:13>> Seven games,
0:15nine lives, a quarter of a million
0:18pounds.
0:20>> Have you got what it takes to beat the
0:23cube? [screaming]
0:37Welcome to the Cube, the show where
0:39fortunes can be won or lost in an
0:42instant. Will someone win a fortune
0:44tonight? Let's find out. So, meet our
0:46first contestants.
0:54Yeah, I'm good. You good? Feeling all
0:55right? Yeah, feeling good. Brilliant.
0:56So, you are Ash Wilson. Where about say
0:59you from Ash?
1:00>> London.
1:00>> Okay. And what do you do for a living?
1:01>> I'm an athlete and a massage therapist.
1:03>> So, you are well fit to go in there.
1:06Glad to.
1:06>> Who have you brought with you?
1:07>> Well, my mom, Rosemary.
1:09>> Hi, Rosemary.
1:09>> And my lovely coach, Chris.
1:11>> Hello, Chris.
1:11>> And my brother from church, brother
1:13Derek.
1:14>> Very nice to meet all three of you. So,
1:16coach, do you think he's got what it
1:18takes to beat the cube? Um, as long as
1:19I'm behind him and cheering him on,
1:21getting the crowd behind him, he's up
1:23for it.
1:23>> Absolutely. That's great. That's what
1:25you need. You ready to play? I am.
1:27>> Game one is for £1,000. This is what's
1:30inside the key.
1:38>> Eliminate
1:42Ash. You must put out all 45 lights by
1:46pushing the buttons. You have 10
1:48seconds. And your time starts as soon as
1:50you hit the first light. You can use
1:53both hands and hit them in any order.
1:56But would you be quick enough for
1:58£1,000?
2:0745 lights in 10 seconds. So you've got
2:10to be very very fast here. Well, you
2:13have nine lives right now. And the cube
2:15has just given you a simplify means that
2:17you can make a game easier if you're
2:19struggling.
2:19>> If you're ready for £1,000,
2:22>> enter the cube.
2:33>> I just love looking at everyone's face
2:36as they walk in there for the first
2:37time.
2:38>> How does it feel?
2:40>> It feels like I'm in a confined space.
2:42>> That's true.
2:43>> Yeah. like a test subject.
2:45>> There's no getting out unless we let you
2:47out. [laughter]
2:49>> All you got to do is put the lights out.
2:51Do that
2:52>> and you'll stand beside me with £1,000.
2:55>> What I'm thinking is to probably start
2:57low and then go high. Try and do
3:01obviously two at a time and these top
3:04ones to try and synchronize with these
3:06ones as well.
3:06>> Just think of it as a track thing. 10
3:08seconds quite a long time. Yeah. So
3:10don't panic. Let's see whether on the
3:12other side of the 10 seconds your plan
3:15is still in force or whether or not you
3:18are randomly smacking at everything
3:20that's lit up.
3:22>> We'll see.
3:24>> So, as soon as you hit the first one,
3:25your time will start. Then you go for
3:27it.
3:345 4 3 2
3:48[applause] Very good. YOU HAD 1 SECOND
3:51LEFT. Oh yeah. Only took up 9 seconds to
3:54do that and you went very quickly. So,
3:58were you still under the plan by the
4:00time you got around the other side
4:01>> after the first two just went out the
4:02window? [laughter]
4:03>> It doesn't matter how you did it. You
4:05did it and you got £1,000.
4:08>> GAME TWO. THIS £2,000.
4:25A number of squares will appear on the
4:27floor of the cube in a wavelike pattern.
4:30All you have to do, Ash, for £2,000, is
4:33calculate how many squares appear in
4:36total.
4:43>> Quick addition.
4:44>> Yeah.
4:45>> Waves of squares coming towards you.
4:46You've got to add them up.
4:48>> Yeah.
4:48>> And then just give me a number. So,
4:50you've had your um your physical speed
4:52tested. Now, this is your mental speed
4:53that it's testing.
4:54>> I think it's okay cuz the floor is quite
4:56big.
4:57>> So, I'm hoping and just keep my eyes on
4:58it and make sure that I've correctly
5:00[music] seen what it is.
5:02>> Well, the cube will now give you a trial
5:03run so you can try something out if you
5:05just want to test it. Ready to go in?
5:07>> I'm definitely ready to go.
5:08>> £2,000. Ash, best of luck. Enter the
5:10cube.
5:12[applause]
5:22So, it's just you and an empty floor.
5:26Yeah.
5:26>> The waves of squares will advance
5:28towards you. You've just got to add them
5:31up.
5:32>> Just simple as that. Just
5:33>> as simple as that. You tell me when
5:35you're ready. The cube will play the
5:37game.
5:38>> Cool. All right.
5:42I'm ready.
5:43>> Cube, play the game.
6:03Do
6:03>> you got your number? Are you still
6:04adding up?
6:06>> Still adding
6:07>> 24.
6:08>> Say 24.
6:09>> Yeah, I'm saying 24.
6:10>> 24 is your number. Is it 24 cube? Is he
6:15right or wrong?
6:20Eight lives remaining.
6:22>> I lost my eyes roughly. I think it was
6:26when it came back down.
6:27>> So about halfway through.
6:29>> Yeah.
6:30>> Okay.
6:31>> Do you think now you've seen it that's
6:33going to help you do it the next time?
6:34>> I think so.
6:35>> It's going to be the same pattern. So
6:36you know it's not 24.
6:38>> Yeah. [laughter]
6:39>> Tell me when you're ready.
6:41>> I'm ready.
6:41>> Play the game.
6:43>> Cube, play the game.
7:0627.
7:08>> 27. So, a bigger number this time.
7:11>> So, you say 27. Is he right or wrong?
7:17>> [music]
7:20>> Seven lives remaining.
7:22>> Two lives lost. It's not 24 and it's not
7:2527.
7:26>> Cool. One. One more time. I'm going to
7:29try and hopefully see if I can get it.
7:31>> Yeah.
7:33>> All right. I'm ready.
7:34>> Happy. Okay. Best of luck. Let's see if
7:36we can get it on this one. Cube, play it
7:37again.
7:5826.
8:00>> 26
8:02is your number.
8:05>> 26. Is he right or wrong?
8:13Six lives remaining.
8:16>> 24 26 and 27.
8:21>> You know what? I'm just wondering what
8:24what it is I should do whether to
8:25simplify or
8:28>> I'll go for simplify. That might be your
8:30weakest part of the game. Yeah. You your
8:32your vision is not picking it up.
8:34>> Yeah.
8:34>> So, I would go for simplify.
8:37>> Yeah. I feel like I might keep losing
8:38lives. I reckon I'm just going to
8:40simplify it.
8:42>> You will go for simplify.
8:43>> Simplify. Cube. Please simplify the
8:45game.
8:46>> The speed of the wave has been reduced.
8:50>> But hopefully this should be the speed.
8:53That will help you significantly easier.
8:56>> Yeah.
8:58All right.
8:59I'm ready.
9:00>> Cube. Play the game.
9:3333
9:35>> 33. That was a long add up. What were
9:37you doing then? Remembering the pattern?
9:39>> Yeah, I thought I'd count halfway and
9:42then just remember the p pattern
9:44>> cuz I was I my eyes just wasn't it's
9:46just not catching it. So, I just
9:47thought,
9:48>> wow, 33 is your number. Much higher than
9:52where you started, that's for sure. 24
9:55was your lowest number.
9:57>> 33. Is he right or wrong?
10:19Sometimes you just can't see the pattern
10:22and it's best to to get it clear and get
10:25out and do something else. You have
10:27£2,000.
10:30Game three is for £10,000.
10:34Now what's inside the [music]
10:43barrage?
10:46A number of red balls will be launched
10:48into the air from one side of the cube.
10:51Among them will be a white ball. You
10:54must identify the white ball and catch
10:56it before it touches the floor of the
10:58cube. So, Ash, how sharp are your
11:01reactions for £10,000?
11:05>> There it is. This is a new game for this
11:08series.
11:09>> How do you feel about that one?
11:10>> I feel confident about that one. I
11:12reckon I can probably just do that one.
11:13>> Good. All right. Well, we'll see how you
11:15do right after the break.
11:21>> The cube.
11:28A number of balls will be launched from
11:30one side of the cube. You must catch the
11:33white ball before it touches the floor.
11:36Ash, with a tri run and six lives
11:39remaining, can you play catch for
11:41£10,000?
11:46[music]
11:47>> I've got a statistic for this one. On
11:49average,
11:50>> it takes 2.8 lives.
11:52>> Okay.
11:52>> Do you want to talk to your team here?
11:53>> I think I should go straight in. What do
11:55you think?
11:55>> Yeah, go straight in and do. Yeah.
11:57>> Yep.
11:57>> I better go straight in.
11:58>> Of course you are. For £10,000, Ash, the
12:01best of luck and enter the queue.
12:14[applause]
12:15>> There it is.
12:16>> Yeah. It's pretty interesting. It's like
12:20from the angle you're hoping that it
12:22fires up, but um you know, once I'm
12:25hoping to see it. Yeah,
12:26>> hopefully about midway or you know as
12:29soon as it comes out.
12:30>> I mean if it does go over there I'm
12:32confident I try and get it right.
12:34>> I do miss it
12:35>> and I can always just try and
12:37>> think like a goalkeeper. That's it.
12:40Okay.
12:42>> Say when you're ready and the cube will
12:44play barrage.
12:53>> Ready.
12:54>> Cube play the game.
12:585 4 3 2 1
13:09[music]
13:13Very
13:26cool.
13:28>> You know, when it fired, I didn't
13:30actually see it.
13:31>> Really?
13:31>> No. I
13:33>> don't tell me you guessed where it was.
13:36>> I saw it come. I saw the balls come out
13:37and I just scanned over and I just went,
13:39"You know what?
13:39>> That really was It was like a James
13:41Bond.
13:44>> [laughter]
13:45>> Nicely done. And for that you have
13:47£10,000.
13:52>> Game four is for £20,000. This is what's
13:55inside the
14:04tilt.
14:08By tilting the feed, you must roll the
14:11ball into the hole at the opposite end.
14:13If the ball falls off, you will lose a
14:16life. [music] Sounds straightforward,
14:19but Ash, can you hold your nerve for
14:22£20,000?
14:24[music]
14:26>> So, you stand beside me, you've got
14:2810,000. Have you thought about the
14:30money?
14:30>> I have, actually. Yeah. [music]
14:32>> Okay. So, I mean with 20,000 would be
14:35great because I mean I could at least
14:37then have the money towards my career
14:39trying to, you know, become a better
14:41athlete and try and make it all the way
14:42and that is a good sum of money to have.
14:44>> What do you want to achieve in your
14:46career, your sporting career?
14:48>> Um, well, I want to go and get Olympic
14:49gold at some point. Yeah, I want to go
14:51all the way.
14:55>> What's your sport?
14:56>> I'm a sprint hurdler.
14:57>> Okay. Well, don't jump over it.
15:00The statistic for this one is that on
15:03average it takes 3.8 lives and you have
15:06got six. What are you going to do?
15:08>> I'm going to go in
15:09>> for £20,000. Best of luck
15:13to the
15:22[applause]
15:25All you've got to do is to get it from
15:26one end to the other for 20k.
15:30It definitely is a long board.
15:35>> You go when you're ready. The best of
15:37luck.
15:54>> Five lives remaining. The great thing is
15:57when you play a game like this is that
15:59each time you do it, you learn a little
16:01bit more. So, whatever you do,
16:03>> don't worry about it.
16:05>> Okay.
16:06>> Go when you're ready.
16:09>> I reckon I'll try with the left.
16:11>> Other way.
16:11>> Yeah, I think I'll try with the left.
16:31Four lives remaining.
16:33>> To me, I think you're rushing the start.
16:37You can take as long as you like before
16:38the ball gets into the cup. So, take
16:40your time.
16:43>> All right. Okay. Good luck. Let's see if
16:45you can nail it this time.
17:07Hallelujah.
17:15Hallelujah.
17:29>> [screaming]
17:32>> Three lives remain.
17:33>> This is getting better every time.
17:35Further every time. So don't let it get
17:36into your head. Don't let it worry you.
17:38>> Yeah,
17:38>> you can do this.
17:44>> You go when you're ready. And the best
17:46of luck.
18:02>> [music]
18:25>> two lives remaining.
18:29>> Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly.
18:32>> It's tough.
18:33>> Yeah.
18:38Well, let's find out how you do right
18:40after the break.
18:46The cube,
18:52you have played three games
18:54successfully. However, you lost three
18:56lives on calculate before using your
18:59simplify. Tilt has claimed a further
19:01four lives with only two lives
19:03remaining. Can you take the pressure and
19:06roll the ball down the beam for 20,000?
19:11>> Keep myself calm.
19:13>> It's what you got to do. It really is
19:15getting yourself into the zone, the
19:17sporting zone that you're used to.
19:19Getting your mind in the right place.
19:20>> Yeah.
19:31>> [music]
19:42>> You all right?
19:43>> Yeah.
19:44>> Okay.
20:23Oh yeah.
20:31Heat.
20:42>> [cheering]
20:47>> No. An element of down in my head. I got
20:51halfway [laughter] was like, "You know
20:52what? I should just go home." Really?
20:53Yeah. I was like, "Shut up."
20:57>> And Oh, tell me.
20:58>> What were you doing when you were
20:59standing there psyching yourself up?
21:01>> Yeah. I was trying to me mentally
21:02rehearse and
21:04>> you know I just
21:04>> and then it shot off again.
21:07>> I don't know how it got there. It just
21:09rolled in
21:09>> quite frankly. Neither do we.
21:12>> The most important THING IS THAT IT DID.
21:16WE HAVE
21:18£20,000.
21:22[applause]
21:25Game five is £50,000.
21:29This is what's inside the tube.
21:38BARRIER
21:42Ash in the cube. There are just two
21:44barriers between you and £50,000.
21:48Blindfolded. You must step over the
21:50barriers without dislodging them. The
21:53game is completed when both feet have
21:55cleared the final barrier.
22:01Huh?
22:02>> After what you've just put us all
22:03through, I've seldom seen a more
22:06confident face.
22:08>> Yeah.
22:09>> Did you want this one?
22:10>> I wanted this one badly.
22:11>> Did you?
22:12>> Yeah. [laughter]
22:14>> It's a weird thing to say, but I mean,
22:15we I use hurdles almost all the time,
22:17even just [music] to do walkovers,
22:19whatever it is.
22:19>> Yeah.
22:20>> My hurdles are up to here.
22:21>> Yes.
22:22>> Um,
22:23>> but you're not blindfolded.
22:25The statistic is that on average it
22:27takes 3.7 lives. You have two left.
22:33>> Yeah.
22:35>> Do you want to ask?
22:36>> What do you think? Try or
22:38>> how you going to work it? And how you
22:40going to get to the first hurdle?
22:42>> Maybe roll up my trousers. I don't
22:44>> I say tuck your trousers in.
22:47[laughter]
22:47>> I've got sport socks on.
22:48>> It doesn't matter. We go for 50 grand.
22:50It doesn't matter what you look like.
22:54No, I mean it's been done with no
22:55trousers. I know. [laughter]
22:57I can be heard.
22:59>> There's a little voice in your head
23:00saying 20 grand and it's just um
23:05>> I I'll try it. I'm going to try.
23:07>> You think so?
23:08>> Yeah.
23:09>> Make sure I'm definitely as confident as
23:11I think I am.
23:12>> Enter the cube.
23:24>> [applause]
23:27>> At the end of this hurdling track
23:31is £50,000.
23:33>> Yeah.
23:38>> Right. Can I go?
23:41>> Go for it.
23:45Heat.
24:04Heat.
24:16Now you know you can do it.
24:19>> Can I ask how it looked? [laughter]
24:22>> Yeah, of course you can. It was perfect.
24:24>> Good.
24:25>> It's the most stylish I've ever seen it
24:27done.
24:27>> Yeah.
24:29>> Big decision.
24:31A big decision to make. You just nailed
24:36that on your trial run.
24:39Which means if you want to go over
24:42£50,000, you have to commit. But only if
24:46you think you can do that again. And you
24:49have two lives remaining. What are you
24:52going to do?
24:53>> Just do it again.
24:56>> I'm going to go for it.
24:57>> That's it. It's committed.
25:01Heat.
25:15[music]
25:19Heat.
25:22[music]
25:37>> [applause]
25:38>> That was astonishing. Absolutely
25:41incredible. Well, that game has just got
25:44you £50,000.
25:50>> [applause]
25:51>> Game six is for £100,000.
25:55This is what's inside the
26:03cylinder.
26:07You must bounce the ball into the
26:09cylinder. It can only bounce once before
26:11it reaches the target. The game starts
26:14as soon as the ball touches the floor.
26:17So, Ash, do you want to play for
26:19£100,000?
26:22>> It's bouncing a ball into a bucket for
26:26£100,000.
26:29You have 50. How are you going to spend
26:32your £50,000?
26:34>> Well, now I can actually just pay off my
26:35debts. I can go training feeling more
26:37relaxed. You know, I don't have to feel
26:39like I've been, oh, I got to go work
26:40again. Come back, go work again. It
26:42doesn't help. The cube is funding a
26:45beginning of a sporting career.
26:47>> Exactly.
26:48>> Well, the stats for this one are that on
26:50average it takes 4.3 lives. We have seen
26:54it done in one.
26:56>> Yeah.
26:56>> But you have two lives.
26:58>> Yeah. I just want to see what these guys
26:59say.
27:00>> Take take it, Ashley.
27:01>> Yeah.
27:02>> Take the money.
27:02>> Yeah. You've done well. Take it. Yeah.
27:04>> You escape juggling your balls earlier
27:06on. I think [laughter]
27:08it's that uh that mom started calling
27:10you Ashley. [laughter]
27:13You've been ash all the way through and
27:15now you're Ashley.
27:18>> I know what that means when it comes
27:19from my mother. [laughter]
27:21>> So, the decision?
27:24>> It seems pretty easy, but it's just I'm
27:26not as I mean, I thought I thought,
27:27okay,
27:30um I'm going to take it.
27:32>> Taking the money.
27:37>> Absolutely fantastic. What a great run
27:40you've had. YOU CAN LEAVE THE ROTATE
27:4315,000.
27:59IT'S
28:03nice to see you.
28:07So, you are where you from?
28:08>> I'm from Alawan, Scotland. And what do
28:10you do for a living?
28:10>> I work in rugby coach education.
28:12>> Great. Oh, this will be right up your
28:14street. Who have you brought with you?
28:16>> Um, I've got my fiance with me, Serena.
28:18>> Hi.
28:19>> Hello.
28:19>> I've got my friend and best man, Alex.
28:21Hello.
28:21>> Alex.
28:22>> Got my dad, Alan.
28:23>> Hi there.
28:23>> And I've got my sister, Aie.
28:24>> Hi.
28:25>> Lovely to see you all. Do you think you
28:27have got what it takes to beat the
28:29queue?
28:30>> For sure. Yeah. I've got a broad range
28:31of skills from playing rugby, so I'm
28:34used to being under pressure on the on
28:35the pitch. So hopefully I can bring
28:36these skills out in the in the cube. If
28:38you're ready, game one is for £1,000.
28:41And this is what's inside the cube.
28:50Free fall.
28:52A second after hitting the button, two
28:55balls will be released from the corner
28:56of the cube. You must catch them both
28:59before they hit the floor. So, Graeme,
29:02can you catch for £1,000?
29:07This should [music] completely appeal to
29:09you.
29:10>> Yeah, from a from a rugby background, if
29:12I can't do this, I'm not really
29:14practicing what I preach. So, I'm
29:16relatively happy with this as the first
29:17game.
29:18>> Well, you have nine lives. You have a
29:19simplifier, which means you can make a
29:21game easier if you need to. Are you
29:22ready?
29:23>> I'm ready.
29:23>> For £1,000, best of luck.
29:25>> Thank you.
29:25>> Enter the queue.
29:30[applause]
29:40>> [applause]
29:43>> How does that feel?
29:45>> Feel like I'm at a zoo on on show at the
29:47moment.
29:47>> We are definitely all watching you.
29:50>> Yeah.
29:51>> All you need to do is to press the
29:53button, run forward, catch the two
29:55balls, and you will stand beside me with
29:57£1,000.
29:59>> Yeah.
30:00>> Happy? Yep.
30:01>> Go when you're ready. Best of luck.
30:13[music]
30:19[screaming]
30:28>> [applause]
30:31>> I put myself under a bit too much
30:32pressure saying how confident I was
30:34there. So I started to get nervous as I
30:36got underneath it. But no, good. Quite
30:38happy. First came out the way. Nine
30:39lives. Happy
30:40>> and you have £1,000. Brilliant.
30:43>> Game two is for £2,000.
30:47This is what
30:49[music]
30:54>> drop shot.
30:58>> Roll the ball along the plate [music] so
31:00it drops to the target hole at the end.
31:02You must release the ball within the red
31:04area and it must remain in contact with
31:06the surface at all times. Do this and
31:10you walk away with £2,000.
31:16It's just rolling a ball for £2,000.
31:21That
31:21>> is
31:22>> Think about what you've been practicing
31:23with at home. Stop zone and things like
31:25that. So
31:27>> on what? How's he practiced stop zone?
31:29>> With a with a snooker ball and a bit of
31:31um wooden what's it edging?
31:32>> Have you been making the games?
31:34>> Been trying to recreate as much as
31:35possible.
31:35>> Have you really using the sort of
31:37cushion of
31:38>> Yeah. Yeah. Just been doing different
31:39things to try and recreate as many as
31:41possible.
31:42>> This is a big one to recreate.
31:45Well, you have all nine lies. The cube's
31:47given you your simplify. You now get
31:48your trial run. A chance to try again
31:50before you commit to it.
31:51>> Yeah.
31:52>> How will you play it? What will you do?
31:55Make those decisions during this break.
31:57We'll be back in a moment. [applause]
32:02>> The cube.
32:09Grab. You must simply roll the ball into
32:12the target hole at the end of the pin.
32:15With all nine lives, a trial run and a
32:18simplify remaining. How confident are
32:21you for £2,000?
32:27>> Whenever would you have got the chance
32:28to roll a ball for two grand?
32:31>> I know on the golf course, but you
32:32usually use a putter. I think sometimes
32:34>> you bet that highly when you're on the
32:35golf course. [laughter]
32:37No,
32:38>> no, no.
32:41Okay, this is for £2,000. What you going
32:43to do?
32:43>> I'm just going to go straight in.
32:45>> He's in.
32:48[applause]
32:59[applause]
33:02Get yourself in position.
33:06Go when you're ready. And the very best
33:08of luck.
33:12Okay.
33:26>> Eight lives remaining.
33:31>> Wow, that was very close. Right
33:34technique.
33:35>> Yeah.
33:35>> What do you think? Was that the right
33:36technique?
33:37>> Yeah,
33:37>> totally right technique. Just a little
33:39softer and you'll be fine. You had it
33:41spot on.
33:42>> Yeah, I think I just came off it a
33:43little bit.
33:43>> You know exactly what
33:45>> follow through was never that good.
33:48>> You go when you're ready. Best of luck.
33:53[clears throat]
34:04Oh,
34:06>> seven lives remaining.
34:10Now, your hand actually went off to the
34:12right then as you released it.
34:15>> Yeah, just coming through. I need to try
34:18and stream it. Just need not hold on to
34:20it for too long.
34:22>> Take your time, Graham. As well,
34:23>> all the time in the world. No rush.
34:41Six lives remaining.
34:47[groaning]
34:49>> It's pretty tough.
34:50>> It's pretty tough. I mean, it's it's
34:52really light, so it's just my hands are
34:54sticking on it a little bit.
34:56>> I don't want to waste lives.
34:58>> What do you think? Is this a simplified
35:00task or
35:00>> Yeah.
35:01>> Do I go for one more or is that wasting
35:03a life potentially? I think what you
35:05want to firstly do is take your time
35:06again because initially you took your
35:08time, you got your ball straight. So as
35:10much time as you want. Secondly, we
35:12talked about simplifying earlier on the
35:14game. Find a lot of people are scared
35:15doing it. Save a life. If you're not
35:18100% confident it's going to get in the
35:20next time. Simplify.
35:22>> I think I can do it in this one. I think
35:24I can definitely do it in this one. If I
35:27get if I get the plane right and get it
35:28nice and straight, I think I can I can
35:30get it in.
35:30>> So what do you think you're going to do?
35:32>> I'm just going to I'm going to have
35:33another go. Have another go.
35:34>> I'm going to simplify.
35:35>> Still got six lives remaining.
35:36>> Yeah.
35:37>> Good luck.
35:50That's looking good.
35:56>> Five lives remaining.
35:57>> Don't believe it? Right at the last
36:00moment.
36:01Ah, we'll have to simplify. I think
36:04>> that the decision.
36:04>> Yeah.
36:05>> Cube, please simplify the game.
36:08>> The diameter of the target hole has been
36:11increased.
36:12>> Big enough.
36:14>> I could do with that a little bit
36:15bigger. Can you make it bigger? Is that
36:16possible?
36:18>> No, it's it's it's certainly bigger. I'm
36:20certainly much more confident. Certainly
36:22the first throw I think would have went
36:24in. So,
36:25>> okay. Well, you have five lives
36:27remaining.
36:28>> Five lives.
36:44four lives remaining.
36:49[sighs]
36:50>> You're so close each time. It's
36:52>> It's a tough one. It's a It's a tough
36:53one.
36:54>> Must be putting a little bit of spin on
36:55it.
36:56>> Yeah. Graham, when you're pushing the
36:59ball forward, are you looking a straight
37:01ahead or are you looking at your hand?
37:03>> I think it's
37:03>> what we need maybe think about doing is
37:06focus on completely on your hand on
37:09pushing the ball forward. So, making a
37:11completely straight line forward rather
37:12than the actual uh target. Think about
37:15where your hand's going. So,
37:17>> yeah. Yeah. Um
37:22Okay. Going to give it another go.
37:24>> Okay. Good luck. Go when you're ready.
37:37>> Is this it? Is this it? Is this it? Is
37:38this it?
37:39>> Come on.
37:40>> Three lives remaining.
37:42>> Was in the right direction again. That
37:43should rolled off.
37:47Damn. If I If I'd thrown that faster, if
37:50I rolled that faster, it certainly would
37:51have went in. That's disappointing.
37:56We all want you to get this.
38:01You go when you're ready.
38:04>> Okay. [music]
38:05>> Good luck.
38:28Come on now.
38:34Yeah.
38:38[applause]
38:50What was it that got that last one, do
38:51you think?
38:51>> I don't know. I think I just focused
38:53focused on where I was releasing the
38:54ball and I think that's made the
38:56difference.
38:56>> Good advice.
38:56>> So, it was it was
38:58>> good advice. There we are. That's what
38:59your team's there for.
39:00>> Yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. It was good.
39:02Glad to get through it. Really glad to
39:03get through it.
39:04>> You are through it. And you have £2,000.
39:08>> Game three is for £10,000.
39:16>> [music]
39:19>> succession.
39:21Each time a square appears on the floor,
39:23you must press the button of the
39:24corresponding color. You have 10 seconds
39:27to complete the sequence, but if you
39:29press the wrong button or run out of
39:31time, you will lose a life. So, Graeme,
39:34can you keep your nerve and
39:36concentration for £10,000?
39:39completely different sort of a game.
39:42>> Yeah, it's quite a tough one.
39:44>> You've got three lives. You got a trial
39:45run.
39:46>> I think I've got that I've got the
39:48thought that I'll go in and do the trial
39:49run and I'll do it first time. So, and
39:52then it won't count. So, I think what
39:53I'll do is uh I'm going to be be brave,
39:56be confident, and just go straight in.
39:58>> Right onto THE
40:02[applause]
40:12You've got 10 seconds to get the
40:14sequence.
40:15>> Yeah,
40:16>> but it will be the same sequence every
40:18time.
40:19>> Right. Okay. Positive head back on.
40:22>> Absolutely. That's what you have to do.
40:24>> Happy place, Graeme. [laughter]
40:26>> Happy place.
40:27>> Happy place. Happy place.
40:28>> Be positive. You can do this.
40:31>> Just get a feel for the distance.
40:35You tell me when you're ready and the
40:36cube will start the sequence. [music]
40:43>> Okay, ready
40:44>> cube. Play the game.
41:02Two lives remaining.
41:06>> Wrong press. Wrong.
41:07>> You pressed a red and it was blue.
41:08>> Wrong color. Wrong color. But
41:10anticipation there. Unfortunately,
41:11that's not the way to do it.
41:12>> You were anticipating what it might be.
41:15>> I think so. I think that's what I had in
41:17my head. Yeah.
41:18>> I have a feeling that you also wouldn't
41:20have been quick enough. So, you know,
41:22you've got to be faster.
41:23>> Yeah.
41:24>> Don't anticipate what it might be.
41:26>> Yeah. Yeah,
41:28>> you have two lives remaining.
41:39>> Okay.
41:40>> Can you play the game?
41:59One life remaining.
42:02>> Three more to go.
42:04>> You just ran out of time. So, it's all
42:07on this.
42:08>> Yeah.
42:09>> It's £10,000
42:11or nothing, sadly.
42:13>> Yeah.
42:14>> A little bit quicker and you're there.
42:17>> Yeah.
42:18>> Come on.
42:24Yeah, let's play this cube. Play the
42:27game.
42:43>> Contestant defeated.
42:46>> You went for the red and it was the
42:48blue.
42:50What a shame.
42:56So close.
42:58So close. What a shame. I really I
43:01really am so sorry. First game,
43:04unbelievable. Second game caused you
43:07endless problems. And if you'd have had
43:09another life or two on that one.
43:10>> Yeah, I think so.
43:11>> Or maybe a simplify, then you would have
43:13been there for the 1020,000.
43:15So close. Did you enjoy it?
43:16>> Oh, it's been great. It's been
43:17fantastic. Good. It's been great.
43:19>> We loved having you here. You didn't
43:21take any money from the cube, but it's
43:22been great meeting you. Thank you very
43:24much indeent.
43:26[applause]
43:32>> So, yet again, the Cube remains
43:34undefeated. The question is, could you
43:38beat the Cube?
43:41[music]
43:43Heat.
43:54Heat. [music]
44:04Heat.
