Including Pause for Thought and the Lester's and Listener's Library music selections.

What better way to spend the dark hours than listening to the Dark Lord himself, Alex Lester? This morning we are hearing more Closed-Door Cabaret, those embarassing things we do when we think nobody else is around. There is a new feature, Morten Harket's Gap in the Market; we are on the search for new celebrity endorsed products such as Rusty Lee's Musical Cheese, Su Pollard's Concrete Bollards and John Nettles' Erotic Kettles. Alex raids his record collection for something new, or downright surprising from Lester's Library - and there's one from you in the Listeners' Library. Alex also spins Record of the Week again and plays another track from the Album of the Week. Expect the unexpected, but expect to laugh!
