This DVD is a must for any outrageous fortune fans. It goes behind the scenes and shows how some sets were made, like the living room, and has some interviews with the great actors. Also at this price, it is a steal.
I am disappointed that the show has ended and while they are currently showing repeats that you know the rest of NZ has seen, this DVD keeps you connected.
I personally enjoyed the interview with Robyn Malcolm and sat glued to the TV. I would have liked to see a few more "in the show" moments but over all was happy with it. They seem like a tight knit group from the off show stuff and i think this is what made the show a success.
