At various times in the last six months I have posted weekly updates about the ITV quiz show “Tenable”. For the most recent of these pieces (shows broadcast in the week ending 8 March 2019), please click here.

That piece contains links to previous weeks, going back to week ending 1 February 2019. There are 6 pieces in all, covering Series 3, Episodes 31-60.

Currently ITV is broadcasting repeat episodes from Series 2 which originally aired in February and March last year. Below are lists of all the questions and answers from four weeks’ worth of shows, broadcast between 12 February and 9 March 2018.

As in this piece from last autumn I offer the information below as “Raw Tenable Data”. It has not been edited and tidied up in the way that the weekly updates were. In some cases I do not even have a note of the team name, but all 6 challenges and all 60 answers, for each of the 20 days’ worth of shows, are listed below.

TENABLE: 12-Feb-2018 sandwiches / Allo Allo / 10 singles 10 or more weeks at #1 / Tudor & Stuart monarchs* / Last 10 winners of Best Musical (stage) / First 10 EU countries alphabetically* [s2ep21, repeated Tue 16-Oct-2018, in the early hours of Tue 30-Jul-2019 and on Mon 3-Aug-2020]

[s2ep21] Team Name: the Radio Heads, who all work together at the same radio station in Sussex.
