We're heading west again, this time looking for Billy the Kid. Who was he? What crimes did he really commit? Is there any chance he survived that final ambush?

Don is joined by author George R. Matthews, who went back to the sources for his book 'Billy the Kid: The Life Behind the Legend'.

Edited by Hannah Feodorov. Produced by Sophie Gee. Senior Producer was Freddy Chick.
