Now You're Asking with Marian Keyes and Tara Flynn

The Knick-Knack Nightmare Problem

You're gay and your best friend is married to a man who seems to be jealous of your relationship with his wife - what would you do? Your girlfriend's father is sick and you want to support her but are conflicted - what should you do? Your boyfriend's mother seems determined to fill your new flat with horrible ornaments - what could you do? Another week of listener problems - plus the living hell that is a tasting menu. Marian and Tara are here to unpack the shoulds, woulds and coulds.

We have been inundated with emails since the last series, but everything gets read, and we're always on the lookout for new questions, queries and conundrums to include on the show.

Marian Keyes is a multi-award-winning writer, with a total of over 30 million of her books sold to date in 33 languages. Her close friend Tara Flynn is an actress, comedian and writer. Together, these two friends have been through a lot, and now want to use their considerable life experience to help solve the biggest - and smallest - of the things that keep us awake at night.

Got a problem you want Marian and Tara to solve? Email: marianandtara@bbc.co.uk.

Producer: Steve Doherty. A Giddy Goat production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds
