1	Episode Title: '''"Beards, Beasts and Blagging" (New Years Day Special)'''
2	----
3	* '''Round 1:''' [="Celwyddyw'Rdrefhon"=] (Welsh for "This town is a Lie").
4	* '''Round 2:''' [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plot_of_the_rue_Saint-Nicaise "Plot of the rue Saint Nicaise"]]
5	!!Tropes:
6	* AlliterativeTitle: '''B'''eards, '''B'''easts and '''B'''lagging.
7	* CallBack:
8	** Tom, Gary and Chris mention the times Toms' overconfidence on books and "places he's been to" as reasons to rule someone out.
9	** To "Sir Tony of Hawkesville" where in that episode's first round, [[https://youtu.be/jq_Kh2rV3x8?t=531 Matt comments on the possibility of all of them being wrong]], and one of them being "a dick" for making up an article, which prompts Chris to express the idea to do exactly that for a later episode, and even says ''"Yeah...let's save that one...make a note..."'' while Tom speaks over him in the next shot. It would take [[LongGame a year and a half]] for him to put this plan into action where the first round in this episode concerns a Welsh place name that is completely fake and doesn't have an article, specifically to annoy Tom who would want to visit the place for a video.
10	* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Matt tries to come up with an article for "Plot of the rue Saint Nicaise", but every detail he comes up with makes him sound more and more like a liar, it was supposedly written by Alan Bennett (a northern playwright), but Matt clarifies that the name is French pronounced [Alaine Ben-aight], neither facts helped Matt's case and he lost the round.
11	* DoubleTake: Gary claims that the Plot of the rue Saint-Nicaise was a plot of land owned by a Dog for reasons Gary doesn't clarify, which leaves Tom surprised at the thought.
12	* MakeTheDogTestify: Gary mentions that the Dog that owned the plot of land was involved in a French court case that apparently did that, and also to work out which dog owned the land, due to the litters it had had in the meantime.
13	* {{Metagame}}: Chris wins the first round not by being the best liar, but by making up a [=Wikipedia=] article, and successfully convincing Tom of a place that'd make for a great video.
14	* ShamelessSelfPromotion: As with the Christmas Special, the rounds had a break for the crew to advertise a new channel for Tech-dif content.
