 Challenge Anneka Show and Episode Reviews - Challenge Anneka Ratings - TV.com
Challenge Anneka was a show based around completing charitable projects without any funding in a short period of time.
It was a refreshing idea in which Anneka would be asked to complete a charitable act without any funding by solely relying on donations and people giving up their time for a good cause.
It was always great fun to watch Anneka Rice rushing around in her '4x4' buggy coaxing people into donating the materials and skills that where needed so she could successfully complete the Challenge she had been given.

Anneka’s excuse for being completely undomesticated is that she’s spent too much time in airport terminals and not enough time in the kitchen.
In 1988 Anneka left the show and was replaced by the useless Annabel Croft, who was always billed as 'Guest Presenter' in the opening titles, just to undermine her authority that little bit more.
Challenge Anneka finished in 1995 and, to be frank, we dunno what she's doing now.
