I couldn't figure out what you were talking about at first. You were referring to the last paragraph. I removed the "...although this cannot be true as the King died before the White Horse was carved." and tagged the left over bit.

I would say definately Yes. Much of the early work in the recent reconstruction for the 2012 Olympics was undoing the botch-up done during the Challenge Anneka episode, so it has more relevance than just being the subject of an obscure TV programme.

I agree with Nigej. Both
Challenge Anneka and
Anneka Rice have their own articles, so the botched work wasn't carried out by otherwise non-notable individuals, and the problem remained an issue two decades later. In addition, Rodney Legg, the historian quoted in the article's new source as saying "What they did was a bit of a do-it-yourself garden landscaping when really they should have used a proper civil engineer. It's a whole acre of exposed geology and they did a quick fix for the cameras, but they should never have brought in that stone", is notable in his own right; he published 125 books (mostly about Dorset history and landscape), was Chair of the
Open Spaces Society, founded the magazine which was to become today's Dorset Life, and his recent death resulted in obituaries by
the BBC,
The Guardian and
The Telegraph.
