A new series of ITV quiz show “Tenable” began on Monday 15 February. Here are the questions and answers for Wednesday 14 April, Series 5 Episode 28 (S5Ep28). This was the third episode hosted by Sally Lindsay, standing in for the show’s usual presenter Warwick Davis.
For previous series I have included at least a week’s worth of questions and answers in each post, as in this piece from last year. For this series I plan to post one piece for each episode containing the following: the questions, how the team fared and the answers.
