The main protagonist of the series.

Status: Partially Found

Treasure is an animated series based on a newspaper column written by Michele Hanson, later collected in novel form as Treasure: The Trials of a Teenage Terror. The column (and the series) follow the life of a troublesome teenage girl named Treasure, The series was a co-production between BBC Bristol in the United Kingdom and CINAR (later known as Cookie Jar Entertainment) in Canada. 26 10-minute segments (13 half-hours) are said to have been produced, though one partially found episode contains multiple shorter segments.

The series is known to have aired on BBC2 in the United Kingdom and YTV in Canada. The highest-quality footage available of the show online (480p) can be found in a promo for the show airing on YTV's short-lived teen-oriented "Limbo" block. (While the block ended in 2001, the show continued to air on YTV without any special branding until at least 2002.)

One complete half-hour episode has been found, containing "Two Faces of Treasure" and "Nightmare on Oxford St.", as well as a partial recording containing part of "Little Black Dress", "Night Club", and all of "Card Sharks" and "War Zone". Both of these recordings are direct VHS rips from the show's airing on YTV, with the complete episode including commercials from the time.
