The third series of Outrageous Fortune, TV3′ s top-rating and critically acclaimed show, has commenced production.

This season Outrageous Fortune sees Cheryl still battling to keep her family (and herself) on the straight and narrow.  Both the men in her life are inside – Wolf after turning himself into the cops as part of his master plan to frame Judd; Judd because he fell in love with the wrong woman -Wolf’s woman.

As Cheryl ploughs on regardless, balancing the needs of family with those of Hoochie Mama, her burgeoning naughty knicker business, her offspring are going their own merry ways.  Van is still managing the Lucky Dollar Store and planning his dream wedding with Aurora.  Jethro is branching out from defending the scum of the earth (and his family) to working for property developer Gary Savage – whether this is a step in the right direction remains to be seen.  Pascalle is enthusiastically embracing both her new-found vocation in caring for the elderly and her new-found love for Dr Bruce Khan – although this whole ‘I’m a virgin, let’s wait until we get married thing’ has some major drawbacks, especially for a girl like Pascalle. Loretta is happily ensconced with her older man, Hayden, and is gleefully plotting her directorial debut, helming the next great erotic film, especially for women. 

So apart from Cheryl, struggling to make ends meet and to get her bloke (the Judd one) out of prison, there is happiness all around.

That state of affairs cannot be allowed to continue, as Series 3 of Outrageous Fortune will go to show.
