Relic Hunter

I am quite the excited woman today, because I have just discovered that one of my favourite shows is on Amazon Freevee. Relic Hunter. All 3 seasons. If anyone needs me for the next couple of weeks?... try not to LOL

Relic Hunter, for anyone who doesn't know, was a late 90s/early 2000s mystery/fantasy/adventure show that follows the globe-trotting adventures of unorthodox American archaeologist Sydney Fox, and her more reserved British assistant Nigel Bailey. She is a relic hunter who looks for ancient artifacts (which often have supernatural powers or are pieces of unusually advanced technology) to return to museums and/or the descendants of the original owner.

Most episodes feature Sydney & Nigel travelling around the world at the behest of a museum, private collector or government, hunting for clues in order to find the artifcact. Complications, naturally, occur, often with rival relic hunters, who only want the artifact to sell to the highest bidder, and generally Sydney ends up fighting them with her martial arts prowess. It is then up to Sydney and Nigel to seize the relic and ensure it ends up in the proper hands (such as the rightful owners or a suitable museum).

"They are assisted at their 'home base', a generic American university identified only as Trinity College, by ditzy student secretary Claudia, a spoiled and fashion-conscious daughter of one of the college's major donors. Claudia sometimes plays a vital role in finding the relic and shares witty banter with Nigel. In spite of her general incompetence, she possesses a savant-like ability for organizing unorthodox and creative solutions to travel difficulties that Sydney and Nigel face, in one case arranging for them to sneak over the Angolan border disguised as Catholic missionaries. Claudia occasionally joined Sydney and Nigel in the field, most notably during their quests for Ariadne's ball of twine and Cleopatra's necklace.
