Synopsis
Kiddies show in the Challenge Anneka stylee.
Three teams of three kiddy celebs (quite good ones, whom the adults might actually have heard of: Cheggers, Timmy Mallett, Andi Peters, Janice Long, Lisa Stansfield) went around the country in vans.
Each day for about a week, each van of celebs went to a different town and had a day to solve three fanciful and faintly impossible challenges, such as "have a photo of the team taken six feet underwater".
A narrator/host type would give a running commentary of what they got up to and award marks out of ten. All three teams perform their third task each day in the same town in a sort of convoluted race, after which whoever was hosting that series awards marks out of ten on a whim.
Nicely produced and rather engaging, but ultimately inconsequential.
Trivia
The first event was sponsored by Anchor Butter and subtitled "The Anchor Challenge".
