I guess that’s just unlucky because no other ITV Daytime quiz needs to clarify such things.
I think its because they have one eye on repeats in future years on some satellite channel somewhere, which is an attempt to future proof the questions. Its not unique to Tenable, the whole "as of <insert year here>" thing started a good few years ago now across most quiz shows.
You only have to watch the likes of Bullseye when they come out with questions like "Who is the current Foreign Secretary?" which transforms it from a current affairs question into a history question mixed with a bit of guesswork as to who was most likely to be in post at whatever time in the 1980/1990s I think this was made in.
