Stranger Things season 2 starts on Friday, so now is the time to make sure you're completely on top of the story so far. Sure, you watched the show and loved it - but has your brain managed to retain every crucial piece of information? Can you tell your Steve from your Jonathan? Do you remember what was in the Hawkins National Laboratory that was so important? And just what was Will coughing up right at the end?
Don't panic if those questions have got you all flustered, because we've just toasted a massive Eggo of knowledge for you to devour that takes you through all the important characters, plot twists, and demogorgons from season 1.
