A new series of ITV quiz show “Tenable” began on Monday 15 February. Here are the questions and answers for Friday 16 April, Series 5 Episode 30 (S5Ep30). This was the fifth episode hosted by Sally Lindsay, standing in for the show’s usual presenter Warwick Davis. [Repeated on Friday 3 September 2021 and Wednesday 10 May 2023.]
