Outrageous Fortune: A modern morality tale…
Outrageous Fortune ran for six seasons, and lodged itself in New Zealand pop culture forever. The series tells the story of Cheryl West and her attempts to turn her Westie family away from a life of crime. A ratings hit for TV3, Outrageous Fortune proved that Kiwi television drama could definitively hold its own against overseas productions.
This special edition of ScreenTalk brings together memories from some of the key players on the beloved show. Among those appearing are Outrageous Fortune co-creators Rachel Lang and James Griffin, director Mark Beesley and producer/director Simon Bennett.
The actors stepping up to talk about the show — and their characters — are Robyn Malcolm, Tammy Davis, Siobhan Marshall, Antonia Prebble, Antony Starr and Sara Wiseman.
