The UK television show Fifth Gear, which airs across Europe, had been dropped due to poor ratings, but it will be returning in April of this year.

The show will have some changes though. First, we’re happy to hear that Vicki Butler-Henderson will be returning along with Jonny Smith, Tiff Needell and Jason Plato. However, Tom Ford and Tim Shaw are out.

The UK’s Times Online reports the show will be a “back-to-basics car show that will ditch the live studio format in favour of more time spent on the track and road-testing cars.”
