Go Getters

Kiddies show in the Challenge Anneka stylee.

Three teams of three kiddy celebs (quite good ones, whom the adults might actually have heard of: Craig Charles, Bruno Brookes, Cheggers, Michaela Strachan, Janice Long, Liz Kershaw, Andy Crane) 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.

One of the vehicles would always break down.

The first event was sponsored by Anchor Butter and subtitled "The Anchor Challenge".

A series intended for autumn 1994 was delayed due to celebrity particpant Craig Charles going through the courts on a charge of rape and his later acquittal. It was eventually shown in regional slots during summer 1996 by Granada, HTV West, Anglia, Meridian, and Yorkshire.
