Marian Keyes has been commissioned by BBC Radio 4 to write her own comedy series. The bestselling Irish novelist will team up with comedy actor and writer Tara Flynn for the show, which is titled Between Ourselves with Marian Keyes and is based upon selected pieces from her bestselling essays Under the Duvet and Making It Up As I Go Along.

"It’ll be great fun to work with the fabulous Tara Flynn," said Keyes. "We’ve so much in common and so much to talk about."

Set to air in May 2019, the show will take shape as episodes that are presented as conversations between the pair.
