Yippeee! One of my favourite television shows of recent years returns to our screens this evening. Leopard print, AC/DC t-shirts, boots with fringing – it could only be the bogan-tastic Outrageous Fortune. Tonight sees the first episode of the fifth season of the local Westie-drama returning. Expect punch-ups, inappropriate hook-ups, bad language, Shakespearian references* and humour sharper than a Jack Daniels belt buckle.
For anyone either a) silly enough not to have yet experienced the brilliance of “Out-Fort”, or b) wishing to relive the magic, copies of the first four series as well as the excellent soundtrack albums are sifting around in our collection. Catch them if you can.
*The title of the series and all episode titles are quotes from Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Who says television isn’t literary?
