As they do whatever it takes to stay out of the spotlight, the contestants face quick-fire questions with the aim of winning \u00a33,000 in prize money.<\/p>\n<p><em>Lightning<\/em> will return for a further 30 episodes, with filming due to start in Belfast next month.<\/p>\n<p>Lyons said: \u201cI am absolutely delighted that <em>Lightning<\/em> does indeed strike twice. I can&#8217;t wait to meet the next lot of fearless contestants who have the courage and quick thinking to take on the infamous roaming light. It is great to be involved in this brilliant show that clearly was a hit with the viewers in the first series.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neale Simpson, creative director of Fizz, added: \u201cWe&#8217;re thrilled to be back in Belfast making more <em>Lightning<\/em> for BBC Two with Chris and the brilliant team over in Northern Ireland.
