Tenable

This is a deceptively difficult quiz. If it happens to be on I don't turn over and enjoy trying to get some of the answers.

Each question has a list of 10 correct answers. The difficulty of the questions vary hugely.

Out of a team of 5 only the captain is guaranteed a place in the final round. To get to the final round each team member must supply at least 5 correct answers in an individual round. The host sets the question and the captain chooses who in the team is best to answer, but only one round each. Each person can give one wrong answer but another wrong answer will see them eliminated. The team captain has a couple of chances to overrule an answer they think is wrong, plus a couple of opportunities for the team members to nominate a teammate to supply an answer should they need some inspiration. The more correct answers the more money in the prize fund, a total of £125,000 is possible. The team captain is guaranteed a place in the final round, they still need to get 5 answers to start adding to the prize fund. Instead of adding to the price fund the captain can choose to bring back someone who has been eliminated to join them in the final round.

The final round is next to impossible. One (usually very complicated) question is posed, again a list of 10 answers. This time, starting with the team captain, each player takes it in turn to give an answer. Give a wrong answer and that person is eliminated. Only all 10 correct answers will win the money - there are only 10 answers. I have seen many episodes and only recall one team winning the final round.

I'm now off to research how many winners there have actually been.....

I generally enjoy the show but the obscure voice for final categories is unfair. Today it is World Cup Football or Jane Austen! Tough if you are not a fan of either. A previous show turned out to be first words in a song - hard luck if you have never heard of it. Contestants try hard to build up their pot - give them at least a fighting chance of taking it home.

Not a bad format for a game, but where did they get the contestants???

Presumably they regard themselves as pretty good at general knowledge, but in one round they were asked to name the last ten British monarchs, and one player guessed Elizabeth the Third!

In another game they had to name the ten US states which have a land border with Canada. First three answers: Alaska (correct), New Orleans and Seattle!

If you like to laugh at pig ignorance then this is the show for you!

Well, what can I say? Tenable has to be one of my absolute personal favourite TV game shows at the moment. I really enjoy the format (even though some of the top 10s could admittedly be a bit tricky or fiendishly difficult at times) and you just cannot help but have a really fun time whilst you're watching it.

Whilst being a bit of an odd choice for a gameshow host at first glance, Warwick Davis makes for a fantastically fun and engaging host (even despite the occasional dad joke which often made me nervously go "Okay?" as well as the occasional vain reference at times to his work as the titular character in Willow, Professor Flitwick and Griphook the Goblin in Harry Potter and of course Wicket the Ewok from Star Wars), plus I just cannot help but love the way he says the catchphrase "Well, it saddens me to say you are terrible at Tenable" (speaking of which, I have developed a fun habit of adding and emphasising the word "absolutely" to make said catchphrase sound slightly better in my mind).

However, I wouldn't quite give the same amount of praise to temporary host Sally Lindsay (aka Shelley Unwin from Coronation Street and the voice of Piella Bakewell in Wallace and Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death) . Not to say that she was a bad substitute host per se, it's just that she sorely lacks the special magic, charm and humour that Warwick brings to the show in flying colours.

In conclusion, Tenable is such a fun and enjoyable little gameshow and I would definitely recommend it to anyone in need of a televisual exercise of their little grey cells.

My overall rating for Tenable: 8/10.

Warwick can be annoying. And they make so many mistakes.who does their research joey Essex? They seem to have an obsession with lyrics and geography too.
