The best TV show on TV in the early 90s was Challenge Anneka (don’t argue, it was.)

Now the show, which saw Anneka Rice and her team build massive construction projects in just three days, is back to celebrate its anniversary and Anneka is looking like it’s still 1992.

Appearing on This Morning, Anneka was discussing the return to the show which will revisit old projects and discover how they are doing decades later.

However, viewers at home were shocked at how she ‘ hasn’t aged a day’.

‘She hasn’t changed!’ wrote another, although many were just pleased to see the show back on their screens.



‘You have to start a campaign to bring #ChallengeAnneka back to our TVs #ThisMorning,’ asked one fan, while another suggested that Challenge Anneka ‘was when tv was worth watching’.

‘It makes my heart swell that 25 years on we did over 60 projects and most of them still have this amazing legacy, and it’s such an interesting social history arc in how we view disability and all these different issues we tackled, and how our attitudes have changed now,’ said Anneka.

She also revealed that the team are still great friends and regularly meet up as a result of difficulties they went through, particularly one situation which saw them have ‘Serb snipers trained on us’ during a project in Croatia.

Anneka said: ‘We were under EU protection, and we all wrote letters home thinking we wouldn’t make it out.’
