Treasure is an animated television series that ran from 13 September 2000 until 17 December 2001 and aired on BBC Two in the United Kingdom, ABC Kids in Australia, and YTV in Canada. It aired for 1 season of 13 episodes. The series was based on the popular newspaper column of the same name by Michele Hanson which became a book, Treasure: The Trials of a Teenage Terror (Virago Press, 2001, ISBN 1-85381-711-2), published under the pseudonym Gina Davidson. Treasure chronicles the life of Michele Hanson's daughter, Amy Hanson. 17 years later, Hanson died on 2 March 2018 at the age of 75.

Production

The characters were designed by illustrator Christine Roche. This show was aimed at an older audience than most other works by CINAR (now known as "WildBrain"), and was consequently able to discuss darker themes and make more use of profanity. Like Bob & Margaret (another British-Canadian-made television series), this show was set in England, but added with darker themes.
