Join well-known British actor, author and presenter Tony Robinson

(Blackadder,Time Team, The Worst Jobs in History) on an

archaeological dig unearthing details of Ned Kelly's infamous last

gun battle in 1880. Ned Kelly Uncovered follows the first ever

excavation of the Glenrowan Inn site where the iconic Australian

bushranger and his gang holed up for a showdown with police. The

dramatic siege which lasted over 24 hours, ended with Ned Kelly's

capture and the death of gang members Joe Byrne, Dan Kelly and

Steve Hart. Nearly 130 years later, can a team of archaeologists

and historians reveal new insight into Ned Kelly's final moments

of freedom? More than a century after the Kelly Gang rode the

ranges of Victoria and NSW, holding up towns and stealing

thousands of pounds, opinion remains passionately divided between

those who love Kelly as a persecuted champion of the poor and

those who dismiss him as a cold-blooded killer and thief. Will the

dig site shed new light on the motivations of a man cast into

legend by history? Or have souvenir hunters destroyed any chance

historians have of uncovering the truth? With specialist

commentary from Kelly experts Ian Jones and Alex McDermott, this

one-hour documentary follows a seven-week dig led by archaeologist

Adam Ford. As the archaeologists unearth a host of artefacts

including cartridges and bullets, the scientists conduct tests

with fascinating results. Meanwhile, the historians strip back the

myth, piecing together the clues to give a detailed new look at an

iconic Australian, literally from the ground up
