After spending four years off air, Top Gear is officially making a comeback, with the BBC confirming that the long-running motoring show will return to television.

The programme was taken off the schedule in 2022 following a serious crash involving presenter Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff, who suffered facial and rib injuries while filming. Flintoff had been presenting the show alongside Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris at the time.

It will return, but will it capture the magic of old without the original trio of Hammond, May and Clarkson?

Joining Ciara to discuss is Newstalk's own Rory Galvin and Nadia Adan, owner of Ashford Motors.
