(Tue 28th / 8pm / £2)
This summer the cube presents a series of nights, rethinking the idea of television along its own fractured lines. Born out of a dissatisfaction with commercial scheduling, along with the new possibilities of streamed content and the corresponding desire to open oneself up in an uncontrolled way to something ‘other’. Each night will be scheduled by guest programmers, offering their unique re-imagining of the Reithian principles: inform, educate and entertain. Expect tv episodes, documentaries, short films, music videos, trailers, dvd content…
Cinema as shared social space. A new audiovisual domain is waiting to be explored, where anything goes. Producing a mindset that is open to experience in a way that home viewing can never replicate.

(tues 28th Aug/ 9pm / £2)
The GrumpyMan team had been spreading musical misery for more than five years, now they have the chance to provide the visual equivalent.
Expect an evening where the maverick outsider is king, mediocrity is shunned and pessimism about your fellow man proves to be correct. Come wallow in an evening of TV which shows that you are not alone in you hatred of the easy laugh and the cheap shot. Sometimes the furrowed
brow and the look of confusion is a good thing!
GrumpyMan DJ’s will also play in the bar, for those who find the
pictures too sad.
