Hooten & the Lady is a British adventure drama television series that follows the story of two treasure hunter partners, British Museum curator Lady Alexandra (Ophelia Lovibond) who teams up with charismatic, roguish American adventurer Hooten (Michael Landes) in a series of global treasure-hunting escapades.

[4] From the Amazon rainforest for Percy Fawcett's long-lost camp, to hunting across Russia for the 51st Fabergé egg, the two explore the world of the mythical and legendary.

They travel from the snowy Himalayan Mountains in an attempt to track down the only scroll written by Buddha, to the catacombs of Rome to find the Libri Sibyllini, and to Alexandria on the hunt for Alexander the Great's lost tomb.

[5] A continuing storyline is of Alex's mother, Lady Lindo-Parker, who attempts to organise her daughter's wedding to her fiancé Edward.

[6] Louisa Mellor from Den of Geek described the show as being "a great deal of fun" and "enjoyably retro".
