In this and the next episode we will be looking at the life and times of Edward 'Ned' Kelly. We will be asking the question does Ned Kelly deserve his place in Australian culture as a larrikin hero who stood up to the British ruling elite because of oppression faced by him, his family and the broader Irish-Catholic community? Or was he a ruthless criminal and cop killer who deserved what he got?

A big warning here: I'm not a Ned Kelly fan!!
