BK asks: How do I go about getting a ‘West 16′ Tshirt as shown worn by a few people tonight on the Campbell Live Christmas Special

Hi,

These were a gift designed for cast and crew working on series four. Under the West 16 logo, they read Outrageous Fortune cast and crew 2008. Unfortunately, this means only those working on the series can get the shirts and they’re not available to the public.

Thanks for letting us know you like the design – we can think about it for future Outrageous Fortune t-shirts sold at www.rookie.co.nz.

Dean asks: Hi, Coming up to Christmas and we have decided to have a game of Firing Squad in our street, Only problem is we can’t remember exactly how it is played. Is it possible to post the basic rules on here? Many thanks if you can.

Hi Dean,

Yes, the name of the game is Firing Squad. The ‘weapon’ is a vortex type ball and there are two teams facing each other. The team without the weapon stands and faces the enemy.

Get into position – stand upright with your arms outstretched, your legs shoulder width apart and close your eyes. This makes you the target. The team with the weapon launches their weapon at the target.

If it hits you, you’re out. But according to Van, it isn’t about that. It’s about balls and who’s got the biggest. It’s about who flinches. If it misses you and you don’t flinch, you’re still in the game. Then you get to pick up the weapon from where it lands and launch it back at the other team.

Van recommends emptying the mind whilst being the target. Think of nothing.

The last person standing wins the game for their team.

Jenna asks: Hi i live in australia and i want to purchase season 4. can u tell me if there is somewhere i can order it from NZ and get it shipped to me here in australia?

Hi Jenna,

The DVD won’t be released in Australia until the series finishes playing on TV next year. You can order the DVD online from New Zealand – check out our FAQ section for details on how to do this. Online stores like Real Groovy and such sell the DVD online.

Good luck!

Hi,

The Christmas special was filmed at Sullivan’s Bay in the North Island of New Zealand. We have an in-house catering company, Rock Salt Catering, so we’re currently not looking for any other services. Do send your CV around though!
