When summer comes to an end the adventure begins! Ben Gwen and Grandpa Max leave their alien battling life on the road for the humdrum world of school and the suburbs.

Digitally Restored Tia Carrere stars as Sydney Fox, an unorthodox history professor with a lust for excitement and a passion for adventure. Criss-crossing the globe, she leads the hunt for the world’s most fabled lost treasures and rare stolen artefacts. With her reputation and expertise, Sydney is sought after by a variety of employers - all of them banking on her extraordinary abilities to find what they cannot! Sydney is aided by Nigel Bailey, her attractive, but decidedly intellectual British teaching assistant, who accompanies her - mostly against his wishes. In the field Nigel is hopelessly out of his element, complicating the mission and putting them both in danger. He’d rather be cooped up in a dusty library, pouring over ancient manuscripts than traipsing the globe, dodging bullets and snaking through dark tunnels - but he’s incapable of saying no to the charming Relic Hunter. Beautiful, intelligent, suave and sexy, Sydney Fox is the hunter and the hunted wherever she goes.

For Relic Hunter, star Tia Carrere was approached with the notion of playing "a female Indiana Jones". That perfectly sums up this tongue-in-cheek show. Each episode begins with a historical teaser depicting a relic in its original location and usage. It then gets stolen or lost and the team go hunt for it. Carrere's History Professor Sydney Fox is versed in arcane knowledge, but also knows how to hold her own in a fight. Her foppish assistant Nigel (Christien Anholt) always manages to bumble the search, but then gets helped out by office worker Claudia (Lindy Booth). That's the winning formula, and this first box set (which starts at the beginning of the second series) consists of six such scenarios. "The Put Back" requires the return of an artefact for a change, and sees the team in Africa racing to prevent the onset of an ancient curse. "Dagger of Death" concerns the Indian cult of Kali (per Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom). "Last of the Mochicas" (not a typo!) sees them survive a plane crash and then play a game of sleuthing to discover which other passenger is their enemy. "The Legend of the Lost" provides a well-intentioned message about why lost civilisations ought to be left lost. "Fertile Ground" comically takes Sydney from her high-school reunion to Hawaii in a partnership with her teenage sweetheart. "Gypsy Jigsaw" finally allows Claudia to shine, with her knowledge of Tarot assisting in a jaunt to Romania. All six feature terrific location shooting from around the globe and are an infectious introduction for anyone who missed the sporadic TV broadcasts. On the DVD: Relic Hunter comes to disc with the original 16:9 widescreen ratio of the show. Shame there's only a stereo mix, though. There are 12-minute interviews with stars Carrere and Anholt that are a little more informative than the biographies included. Lastly, there's a gallery of 24 behind-the-scenes and promotional stills. --Paul Tonks
