“Relic Hunter” is a Canadian TV series in English that follows the adventures of Sydney Fox, a professor who spends most of her time traveling the world as a “relic hunter.” Her mission is to locate ancient artifacts and return them to museums or the rightful heirs. She is supported by her language-savvy assistant, Nigel, and sometimes by her slightly scatterbrained secretary, Claudia. Sydney frequently finds herself in competition with other treasure seekers who are motivated by financial gain. The show incorporates elements of fantasy and science fiction, as many of the relics possess real supernatural abilities or are examples of advanced technology.
