Warwick Davis, who portrayed Willow’s titular character, also hosted a renowned UK quiz show named "Tenable."

Agencies
A new Disney+ series acting as a sequel to the fantasy film Willow, produced by George Lucas and starring Warwick Davis, is being brought to life 34 years after the original movie's release and will again feature Davis as the film's titular character.

However, many international viewers may not be aware that Davis also hosts Tenable, one of the most bafflingly challenging UK quiz programmes, but they most certainly can connect him with his fantasy roles, which include those in Star Wars, Harry Potter, Merlin, The Chronicles of Narnia, and more.

Since the show's debut in 2016, Davis has served as its presenter. Tenable has aired six seasons on ITV, with the most recent one's last episode airing in October.


In each episode, a team of five participants (who are all acquainted) is formed, and in the grand tradition of British pub quizzes, they create a funny team name, frequently a bad joke on the place they're all from. The songs "Stoked to Be Here," "Wigan-a-Win It," and "Life's a Wisbech" are notable examples.

The goal of Tenable is to provide as many responses as you can to a "Top 10" list on a particular topic, such as "The 10 Prime Ministers Either Side of John Major," "The 10 Largest Countries Beginning with S," or "The 10 Elements with a Letter P in Their Chemical Symbol."

However, if they make more than one error, they get eliminated. In round five, it is the team captain's chance. If they answer enough questions correctly, they can choose to reinstate any of their ousted team members in exchange for a portion of their team's cash award.

Then comes the grand finale, when they can finally cash in on the prize money they've worked so hard to earn during the whole show. But here's the catch: They can only win the cash if they correctly answer all ten questions on the list.

Every team member, who is still on the team participates in the final, but if they select the incorrect response, they are disqualified, and the other team members must finish the Top 10 list without them. They will not win any money if they don't correctly answer all 10 questions. Brutal.

Although the format is brutal, some teams have won and taken home significant cash prizes.
