Breaking the ice at 51, ex-students moving back home just as it's got nice and quiet, and hen night anxieties - all given the Marian and Tara treatment. marianandtara@bbc.co.uk

This week, Marian and Tara have advice for an autistic man who finds it hard to break the ice with women at the age of 51. There are thoughts for a mother of two ex-students who have arrived back home, just as she was getting used to them being away. And words of wisdom for a woman whose oldest friend asked her to speak at her wedding - but didn鈥檛 invite her to the hen night.

Each week, Marian and Tara do their best to shed their particular brand of warmth, wit and wisdom onto listeners' questions with topics big and small.

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.

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.
