Its not unique to Tenable, the whole "as of <insert year here>" thing started a good few years ago now across most quiz shows.Yeah, which currently is 1987. That Affairs category is definitely not futureproof! Of course when Bullseye was made, they probably only expected it to air once on ITV. Challenge wasn't a thing until 1997.
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.
