Hi,

Typically the Outrageous Fortune DVDs are released in New Zealand before they’re released in Australia. Reason being, TV3 in NZ airs the show first, and the DVD isn’t released until the entire season has played out on television. Australian networks air the show later than NZ and therefore the DVD release is also delayed.

A series five DVD wouldn’t be released in NZ until much later in 2009. If there was to be a release in Australia, it would be after this. The distributor for the DVDs in Australia is Umbrella Entertainment, so it’s worth contacting them about further release dates.

Thanks!

Local and international broadcasters who play Outrageous Fortune have been granted exclusive licences by South Pacific Pictures or the international distributors of the programme.

The supply of individual episodes on tape or DVD is often a breach of the licence, so our policy is unfortunately no, we are unable to be of assistance.
If you’ve missed an episode your best bet is to buy the DVD when it is released or, if you are in New Zealand, you can watch each episode online at www.tv3.co.nz for a week after the episode has aired.

The Outrageous Fortune theme song is called ‘Gutter Black’ and is sung by legendary Kiwi band Hello Sailor. The song was first released in 1977. It features on Westside Rules – the Outrageous Fortune soundtrack.

For both main acting roles and for those who wish to be cast as extras, South Pacific Pictures uses acting agencies, who put forward potential candidates.

You must get yourself an acting agent if you are keen to work as an extra or as an actor on any South Pacific Pictures production.
