1964: Methody's Got Beards | BBC Archive Northern Ireland

BBC Northern Ireland Podcast Today

Description

Is growing a beard an achievement? James Boyce reports on a beard growing competition at Methodist College Belfast, all in the name of charity.

Though this episode of Six Ten was broadcast in the spring, the challenge bears more than a little resemblance to the current Movember.

This was originally broadcast 7th Apr 1964.
