It's Friday. You know what time it is

Rich Cooper

Brought to you by Knowledge is Power.

It’s December, folks.

The tinsel is up, the fairy lights are plugged in, the eyes are firmly on the clock, counting down the days til we can all clock off for the year. Yes, Christmas season is upon us, and it will not loosen its grip for many weeks to come.

To ease you into the festivities, we’re kicking off with a round on Christmas songs, followed by Sport. Round three this week is Movies, brought to you by Knowledge is Power, the brilliant PlayLink quiz game for PS4, which uses phones as controllers – all the questions are taken from the game.

The picture round this week is Country Outlines, and we’re finishing up with The Natural World, in honour of Blue Planet II coming to a close this Sunday.
