Kevin Ashman is almost universally considered to be Britain's finest quiz player.
Before that, Ashman had won almost every significant title in British quizzing, including a series and Millennium Special Edition of Fifteen to One, a series of Mastermind (a show on which he holds the all-time points scoring record), Brain of Britain itself, and the British Quiz Championship.
Ashman became interested in quizzes in his mid-twenties, when, having graduated from Southampton University with a degree in History, he became dissatisfied with his sketchy scientific knowledge, and resolved to educate himself.

By typing in an actor's name the Bacon number is established and the chain of connection to Kevin Bacon is exhibited (with embedded links in the answer that point into IMDB, in order to reference the appropriate movies).
The reason for "6 degrees" is that, until recently it was believed that Kevin could be connected with any other actor in the database, via co-starring relationships in movies, in at most 6 steps.
