aided by her linguistic assistant Nigel and occasionally by her
somewhat air-headed secretary Claudia. She often ends up battling
rival hunters seeking out artifacts for monetary gain. The series
includes fantasy and science fiction elements, with many of the relics
featured having supposed supernatural powers or being pieces of
unusually advanced technology.It ran for three seasons in the U.S.

contract, which was not renewed. In both Ireland and the United
Kingdom, it aired on Sky1 and subsidiary channels, while in Canada, it
aired on CityTV and Space, CTV's sister network A-Channel and
Showcase. The series was shot in the Toronto area, and includes many
familiar local landmarks among its locations. As of June 2018, the
series airs on the Heroes and Icons cable network.Relic Hunter follows
the globe-trotting adventures of unorthodox American archaeologist
Sydney Fox (Tia Carrere), and her more reserved British assistant
Nigel Bailey (Christien Anholt). They are assisted at their "home
base", a generic American university identified only as Trinity
College, by ditzy student secretary Claudia (Lindy Booth), the spoiled
and fashion-conscious daughter of one of the college's major donors.
The character of Claudia was replaced in the third season by Karen
Petrushky (Tanja Reichert), who is more talented than Claudia at
dealing with predicaments of a bureaucratic nature.
