Description

Is 60 too old to develop a crush? Not if you're working closely with a handsome stranger on a amateur dramatics show, it seems. Meanwhile, the programme takes a foodie turn with a worry about when 'splitting the bill' gets abused, and another asker is worried about her boyfriend's table manners in front of her fussy parents.

Every week, Now You're Asking with best-selling author Marian Keyes and writer/performer Tara Flynn opens the programme's email inbox and pulls out some interesting puzzles, queries and conundrums. Everything gets read, then we do our best to pick as wide a range of Asks to answer as we can. And hopefully amuse and entertain along the way. 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.

Earlier series of Now You're Asking were welcomed by listeners and critics:
"Both are warm and kind enough to not only be funny but also offer genuinely thoughtful, if left-field, advice." (Miranda Sawyer, The Observer)
"Keyes and Flynn are my new favourite double-act." (Jane Anderson - Radio Times)
"I found their compassion endlessly soothing." (Rachel Cunliffe - The New Statesman)

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. 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
