Description
Tia Carrera plays Sydney Fox a cross-breeding of the action-adventure-archeologist Indiana Jones and the sexy-skimpy-sweaty Lara Croft video game character. Sydney is a University professor and black belt who globe trots after lost stolen and rumored-of artifacts and antiquities. Nigel Bailey his her teaching assistant and trusty sidekick as she treks all over the world.

From the pilot episode of Relic Hunter. Sydney and Nigel's first meeting:

(we see an office filled with art work and ancients crafts from around the globe and a secretary sitting at a desk talking on a phone)

Claudia: "The net is unbelievable! It's like having the world's biggest store right on your desk. I mean you can shop for anything at any time. It's like this gi-gumbas mall. I'm telling you. You've got to try it. It's like you can even take your own photo and put it into the computer and then try on clothes. I swear to go it's amazing. Well, I'm not exactly sure how it works, but you should see how cool stuff looks on me. Particularly the pastels. Except for cucumber. It makes me look like I have malaria or something."

(man enters the room)

"Yah I'd hate to get that. Gotta go. I'm all ears."

Nigel: "I'm here to see Professor Sydney Fox."

Claudia: "She's in class."

Nigel: "I see."

Claudia: "You a new student."

Nigel: "No no actually. . . . .well I'm her new teaching assistant.

Claudia: "Ah huh."

(the two of them leave the office and start heading down corridors towards Sydney's classroom)

Nigel: "After such a secluded education in Cambridge you can imagine how nervous I was to land a position in America. Silly to you I'm sure. Honesty, once I got here I was quite relieved."

(they come round a corner and hear tribal native drumming coming from the classroom in front of them)

Nigel: "Is there something I should know."

(Claudia opens the classroom door only to reveal a scantily clad Sydney Fox provocatively dancing in front of her students with Native drummers in tow. Once the music comes to a climax Sydney throws a spear towards the doorframe Nigel is standing under)

Sydney: "You must be Nigel."

(Sydney, Nigel, and Claudia return to the office. Nigel is emptying tons of books from boxes he brought from England, while Sydney is getting out of her dancing gear and putting on more business-like attire)

Nigel: "Your demonstration was so wonderfully unusual. Was it the Maori? or the ah um Sand Glass Indians?"

Sydney: "Oh it was actually a composite of several tribal cultures that embody similar methods of killing. The most important thing at the beginning of the term is to get the students excited about history and hungry for more."

Nigel: "Right."

Sydney: "Otherwise history just becomes an exercise in memorizing things from books."

(Nigel looks at his piles of books with a chagrin)
