“A brilliant new memoir, which I honestly couldn’t put down.”
@AnnekaRice takes a stroll with Emily Dean (and Ray!) on the Walking the Dog podcast to chat about the extraordinary career that made her one of the most recognisable faces on British television, and led her to write her memoir, Challenge!
🎧 Part one is available to listen to now: open.spotify.com/episode/3qo…

And ping! 50 years later, practically to the day, I am back in the @bbcworldservice @bbcnews studio! When Julian Worricker described me as a ‘broadcaster, campaigner and author’, I felt quite emotional. I’ve come full circle from that trainee making the tea …

Any ideas? Spotted in the Solent today going past several times. To be honest, I felt an ancient thrill, that I was about to be parcelled on board and given a pink clue ….
I’ve got a website. About 150 years too late but you might enjoy the burst of nostalgia on the home page - and there’s the odd link you might press and have the glimmer of a wry smile. annekarice.info
40 yrs ago I was called into Cubby Broccoli’s office to audition for James Bond. ‘Exciting’ I thought, until I got there & saw the script. I wasn’t James, I was a CIA agent who slept with James twice in the first afternoon, possibly six times the following morning … #jamesbond
This made me v happy when I left Yeovil Literary Festival after my talk today. Bumped into Su Pollard who I hadn’t seen since panto days, who was on stage after me. I was the Genii to her Aladdin once upon a time….She is insane and joyful. #Challenge!

Just about to go on @timesradio with Jane and Fi - to talk about my book. What on earth was going on in the 70s?! We’re live at 3.25 so please join us. #CheltLitFest
Winnie the Pooh is 100 today. I have dedicated my memoir to Piglet. I have loved that pig for decades. “Piglet was so excited at the idea of being Useful that he forgot to be frightened any more”. 🩵
Oh do watch this from the One Show.The women behind our challenge projects are truly heroic. None more so than Monica McDaid. She was a schoolteacher when she sent in the challenge. She never left Romania and today many of those children are now stable adults. Because of her 🩵
