| abstract | - The BEGG Chief is the head of the BEGG colony on a given moon that Red Dwarf passes during the events of "Entangled", his status conveyed by his plumper proportions. Dave Lister, curious about life sign readings, takes Starbug down to investigate, and meets the BEGG clan. He asks them if they have any knowledge on the whereabouts of Kristine Kochanski, but they inform him that they do not know anything about that. The rest of the evening was spent playing poker and getting drunk with them, with Lister losing first Starbug and then later Arnold Rimmer while trying to get the ship back. In order to ensure that he pays his debts, the BEGGs rigged him up with a groinal exploder they acquired from the ERRA space station. Lister was forced to return to Red Dwarf by jet pack, and then confess his actions to his crew mates. Any means of outrunning the BEGGs were of course defeated by Lister's exploder, forcing them to go back down in Blue Midget and bargain with the chief. Lister had hoped to dupe them into taking the "fabled spoon of destiny" (actually, just a recent artefact from Kryten's dish-washing duties) in Rimmer's stead, but the chief saw through the ruse, asking Lister quite plainly why he would want to trade such a powerful item. He does offer Lister the chance to win back Rimmer and Starbug in another game, but at the risk of losing Kryten and the Cat this time. With no other option, Lister agreed, still believing that he could outsmart them. Cat doubted this greatly, stating that he would just choke again under the pressure. Lister denied this, saying rather that they would choke. "They'll choke?!" Kryten and Cat called out, "They won't choke!" Coincidentally (as highlighted by the quantum entanglement of Cat and Kryten at the time), all four BEGGs began to choke to death after attempting to consume electrical cords, leaving Lister without any other immediate option to deactivate the groinal exploder.
