ITV fans are in for a letdown as rumours swirl that a beloved daytime quiz show may not be making a comeback.
Tenable, which has graced our screens for seven seasons, is allegedly on the chopping block. The programme, fronted by Warwick Davis, offered players the opportunity to bag up to £125,000 if they could successfully collaborate. The game involved a team of five attempting to complete various category lists of 10 items, with each participant taking turns to provide the right answers.
However, whispers suggest there’s no sign of the show reclaiming its slot after a two-year hiatus from filming. It appears ITV have held onto episodes to broadcast in the upcoming weeks, but have no intentions of shooting any further. There’s also been a noticeable lack of calls for new contestants from the production company of late, reports The Mirror.
An ITV Spokesperson said: “Tenable has been a much loved ITV game show since it launched in 2006. Whilst there are no brand new episodes currently planned, fans of the show can still watch over on ITVX.”
A year prior to the cessation of filming, Sally Lindsay stepped into Warwick’s shoes as host. At the time, he explained his absence was due to his involvement in a covert project. Before stepping into the role of Wicket in Star Wars after Kenny Baker fell ill, he had initially been cast as an Ewok extra.
He also made a name for himself as Professor Filius Flitwick in the Harry Potter films from 2001 to 2011. Besides portraying Flitwick, Warwick also took on the role of goblin Griphook in Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows.
Warwick Davis’ wife, Samantha, sadly passed away aged just 53 earlier this year. At the time, he paid a touching tribute saying: “Her passing has left a huge hole in our lives as a family. I miss her hugs. She was a unique character, always seeing the sunny side of life she had a wicked sense of humour and always laughed at my bad jokes.”
He also referred to her as his “most trusted confidant and an ardent supporter of everything I did in my career”, while children Harrison and Annabelle added that their late mother’s “love and happiness carried us through our whole lives”.
