Warwick Davis begs ITV bosses to bring back Tenable after shock axe
WARWICK Davis has begged TV bosses to bring back his gameshow, Tenable.
ITV previously cancelled the popular format earlier this year in a move which shocked fans.
Warwick, 54, is mostly known for his roles in major blockbuster films such as the Harry Potter and Star Wars franchises.
Bosses originally chose him to front the knowledge show in 2016 until its axing in August of this year.
The movie star was left absolutely devastated by the decision as he loved hosting the programme.
He saw how upset the fans were over the decision, and he thinks there might be scope for a potential revival.
Warwick told The Daily Star: “Presenting Tenable was one of my favourite things to do.
“I loved the show. People tell me they still watch old episodes now and enjoy it.
“I feel like I should video people on my phone when they say, ‘We miss Tenable’ and then send them to ITV!”
Warwick knows that he would need to make the commercial case to the higher ups at the channel.
He admits that a potential revival would hinge on getting high ratings and bringing in a large profit.
The actor added: “The landscape of television has changed immensely with all the streaming services now.
“Unless you can pull in the advertisers, you can’t get a show on.
“One day it may become apparent that Tenable is viable once again. Maybe we could even do a Tenable film one day!”
Over its eight-year run, Tenable ran for over 300 episodes across seven series.
Teams of five contestants would attempt to win up to £125,000.
