LIGHTNING
BBC2, 6.30pm
THIS lightning fast quiz show sees six contestants compete across six general knowledge rounds for a £3,000 jackpot.
It’s a bit like Pass the Bomb, except that they are passing the spotlight.
Answer a question correctly, the light passes to another player.
You might hear the host, comedian Zoe Lyons, shout in slight Paddy McGuinness style: “Stay out of the light and you’ll be alright!”
It’s mostly quick-fire questions, but there are also some physical tasks to add to the tension – in this episode they have to tip a ping pong ball into a hole as quickly as possible.
Only viewers at home can see the ticking clock and whoever gets caught in the light when the time runs out at the end is ‘struck by lightning’ and eliminated.
The contestant who reaches the endgame gets the chance to win the jackpot.
Viewers will definitely be shouting answers at the telly.
