She always refers to the show as 'the Challenge programme' Rolling Eyes and she rather annoyingly thinks of this as her career high point when of course Treasure Hunt was her finest hour (or should that be 45 minutes!!)

BTW I loved 'Challenge Anneka' but adored 'Treasure Hunt' more Very Happy

Have many memories of this as a child. I hope to god they keep the same theme, It's the only theme tune which reguarly enters my head and start humming at random times.

I'm sure they can use the same music as the rights to the show are owned by Mentorn, or Tinopolis, or whatever it's called this week.

I think they used the titles with the logs and the playground towards the end of the run... the first few years had the metal pylon thing on the back of the truck instead. And, depending on running time I think they kept or removed the intro "dilemma" part of the titles and just had Anneka spin as the start.

I'm sure for the final series they got rid of the titles sequence and just superimposed the logo over the opening scenes?

There's two versions of the credits on youtube. One is 45 seconds and that starts from Anneka spinning round and the other is 59 seconds which has the dilemma at the beginning.

Yes, with a remixed version of the theme tune. The final series had lots of 'mini challenges' alongside the main challenge. For example, installing a wheelchair ramp at a doctors surgery etc

Another classic from my childhood - this is really is the year of the TV revival - I'll include that in my end of year TVF review.

I should think Anneka will have replaced the 1980s brick phone for a Motorola Razr and the shell tracksuit?...haha..ohhh, whats the fashion at the moment?

Oh and bring back the Dakar I say!....oh..

What the blinking flip happened to that?!? Is that the same vehicle Anneka used to drive in the original BBC series?

Dave was the sound guy - was it Graham or am I thinking back to Treasure Hunt times?
