Tenable

Tenable is a British game show presented by Warwick Davis and briefly Sally Lindsay, airing on ITV1 from 14 November 2016 to 30 August 2024. On each episode, five contestants attempt to win up to £125,000 by filling in lists of 10 items each.

The five contestants who have a prior relationship play the game as a team; one is designated as the captain. The goal in each round is to give as many answers as possible out of 10 in a factual list that fits a particular category, such as "The 10 'TAN' countries" (countries whose names in English include the letter sequence TAN) or "The first 10 UK cities after Belfast alphabetically." Money accumulates in each of the first five rounds according to the table below.

For most questions, the host provides a brief explanation of what answers can and cannot be accepted as correct. All correct answers are displayed on a triangular board as they are given. As of the 2020 Christmas Special, some rounds begin with a list of 10 clues displayed on the board; one for each of the required answers. If a contestant's answer is correct, it is shown in place of its corresponding clue. At the end of every round, the host reveals any correct answers not given by the contestant(s) playing it.

Contestants who are deaf or hearing-impaired are allowed to have an interpreter on the stage, who may interpret between spoken words and sign language. However, the interpreter may not suggest answers or take any other active role in the game.

After hearing the category for each round, the captain designates one teammate to play it. Each teammate may only play one round and may not confer with anyone else. The one teammate who is not chosen for Rounds 1 through 3 must play Round 4 by default.

The contestant must give at least five correct ("tenable") answers in order to qualify for the Final, and may stop after any answer at or beyond this point and bank any money earned. If the contestant completes the list, they automatically advance and bank the money.

Two forms of assistance are available until the fifth correct answer has been given:

The contestant is also given one life, which allows them to continue without penalty at any time after giving an incorrect answer or being overruled in favour of one given by the captain. A second such mistake ends the round immediately, eliminates the contestant from the game and forfeits any money earned during the round.
