It was originally aired 17 July 1963 in Sydney and shown at later dates in other parts of Australia. It was written by Phillip Grenville Mann.[4] The director Ray Menmuir called it "“definitely a new approach and a new treatment of the whole Ned Kelly legend."[5]
Australian drama was relatively rare on television at the time, although there had been a TV play called Ned Kelly (1959) produced.[6]
