Kate asks: Is it possible to buy the series on DVD? If so, where can I get it in Australia? I’ve only caught one episode and I love it!

The series is currently playing on Channel 10 in Australia and series one will kick off on Foxtel’s Arena channel in early December. The DVD is available from some online NZ stores such as www.gpstore.co.nz and www.realgroovy.co.nz.

Lisa asks: I’m sure you get asked this all the time, but I thought hell why not? How do you get to work on Outrageous Fortune? It makes me proud to be a kiwi seeing such a great programme and I would love to be a part of it. I am a freelance graphic designer and can also make coffee if you like…

Hi Lisa

Thanks for your question. The production team have already crewed for series 4 (to be shot in 2008) so unfortunately there aren’t any vacancies at this stage.
