The Last Outlaw is a 1980 Australian four-part television miniseries based on the life of Ned Kelly. It was shot from February to May 1980[2] and the end of its original broadcast, in October–November 1980, coincided with the centenary of Ned Kelly's death.[3][4][5]
The complete miniseries has been released on region 4 DVD in Australia by Umbrella Entertainment.[6]
The mini-series was made by Pegasus Productions, the company of Ian Jones and Browyn Binns. They had made the hugely popular mini-series Against the Wind.[7] Jones had long been interested in the story of Ned Kelly and did extensive research. "I recognised the impossibility of his situation in a frontier society," said Jones. "He was the centre of a tragedy which could have been avoided."[8] Jones wanted to make the series in part to make amends for his dissatisfaction with the 1970 film Ned Kelly.[9]
Filming took six months.[1]
The mini-series was considered a ratings disappointment.[10]
