In recent weeks, repeats of the quiz show “Tenable” have been shown on ITV on weekday afternoons. Episodes from Series 3 were being shown until earlier this week: S3Ep50 (Series 3 Episode 50) was shown on Monday 8 July 2019. Since then episodes from the start of Series 2 have been broadcast, beginning with S2Ep1 on Tuesday 9 July 2019.
There are many pieces on this Blog which list questions and answers from “Tenable”, beginning with this one from September 2017. The most recent piece, here, offered information from 20 days’ worth of shows later in Series 2, originally screened in February and March 2018. I described it as “Raw ‘Tenable’ data” because it was not edited and tidied up in the same way as some of my weekly updates (like this one from October 2018).
