Tenable is a British game show that has aired on ITV since 14 November 2016 and is presented by Warwick Davis.
Format
Five players who have a prior relationship play the game. The game involves trying to fill lists of ten, such as 'top ten most populated cities in Italy' or 'first ten James Bond films' 10 lists. The captain goes through to the final no matter what.
Rounds 1, 2, 3 and 4
Four lists are played, and each non-captain plays a list each. Each team member must get five correct answers to survive to the final. Each team member has one life each and for the first five answers may nominate a teammate to provide an answer or the captain can press a button to overrule; the team has three nominates per game and one overrule per player. If the captain overrules, the player's answer is tried first and if it is correct the answer is greyed out and the player does not move up the money ladder; if the captain's answer is incorrect, a life is lost. If the player gives a wrong answer having lost their life, they are lost from the game.
Round 5
In round 5, the captain plays a list, and if (s)he gets five answers correct, (s)he can choose between £1,000 or bringing back a previously eliminated player. If (s)he brings back a previous player, (s)he may stop then but the 'money ladder' is knocked back a rung, so the maximum amount of money available in that round is £15,000. Nominates are carried over from the previous rounds.
Round 6
In the final round, the remaining players play a final list to win the money they've previously banked; they take it in turns to give an answer and have to complete the entire top ten between them. If a player gives a wrong answer, (s)he is off the show and it is up to the rest of the team to finish the list.
