The fiendishly funny quiz has become an annual tradition ever since it premiered back in 2004, and it's returning once again to take its usual place in the best Christmas TV line-ups.

Jimmy Carr is back to put a host of celebrities through their paces on all things 2020, and the all-star panel has now been announced, featuring some returning favourites of the show.

The six panellists will be answering questions on key topics likely to include the US election, Prince Harry stepping down as a senior royal, and, of course, lockdown.

So for a refresher on everything from Trump to Tiger King, here's everything you need to know about this year's Big Fat Quiz.
