Do You Own a Piece of ?

Pango Productions are working on an exciting new TVNZ series that explores Aotearoa’s shared whakapapa through treasured items and the personal stories associated with them.

They would love to feature Outrageous Fortune as a true national treasure, and are looking for a real item from the show that comes with a great story.

• Do you own one of Ted West’s suits
• A piece from the iconic West family home
• A costume worn by Cheryl
• Or any other prop or memorabilia that has been carefully kept over the years

If you worked on the show or are a superfan who was lucky enough to acquire an item and has a great yarn about how it came into your life, they would love to hear from you!
