On Thursday's Backchat, we looked how our electricity bills here in Hong Kong will see a slight reduction starting in January. Both CLP and Hong Kong Electric agreed to slash tariffs by more than two percent. Why and for how long?  

We also looked at a new harbourfront park that will open in Sai Ying Pun next month, a venue which officials say will offer an inclusive entertainment experience to everyone.
 

After the break, we unveiled the winners and losers of the recent Toilet Awards - the winning loo came from a district that is often frequented by revellers.

And finally, we talked to an expert about a recent announcement by the government to open eight cultural and park facilities for commercial and private events, ranging from mini-concerts to corporate functions.
