Viewers hail Challenge Anneka reboot as 'perfect Saturday TV' as fan favourites return

Challenge Anneka made a successful return to UK TV this weekend as Channel 5 rebooted the heartwarming '80s/1990s show which saw Anneka Rice and her team travel the country lending a hand to communities in need.

Speaking about the Challenge Anneka reboot ahead of its March 18 airing, the frontwoman said: "Everything is as it should be," when asked about the return of the truck, the buggy and Dave the soundman. Anneka added: "I decided to upcycle some of my old outfits as I have a wardrobe full of Lycra. So zips, stripes, flashes went on. The trouble is we ended up filming in the winter so all hopes of looking glamorous flew out of the window. Most of the time I look like a Teletubby, layer upon layer of thermals!"

Fans were over the moon to see the return of Dave and all the elements which made Challenge Anneka so special, and branded the new series 'perfect' Saturday night telly.
