About this episode
Young Alexandrina Grant is an audacious liar.
Host Richard Roxburgh follows this clever and ambitious crook as she travels from the alleys of Aberdeen to a convict cell in Van Diemen's Land, then onto the streets of colonial Melbourne.
It's there that Alexandrina Askew emerges, transformed into a squatter’s wife, with a distinguished pedigree and connections.
But when her disguise is revealed, the newspapers pounce. And this notorious fraudster has serious questions to answer.
