Time for the Second Half-Time Hooter of the Week which means more witty chat and unexpected silliness, Record & Album of the Week and tracks from Lester's and Listener's Libraries.
Alex, the Great Dark Lord of Buffoon Town, presents another Best Time of the Day Show which includes the second Half-Time Hooter of the Week. Threads today include: YMCA for the Modern Day, in which Alex recreates several modern versions of The Village People; more fictional freaky future visions to scare the Edwardians with the Reverse Time Capsule; plus, our nominated News Shank subject today is Simon Cowell, hear which hideous headlines have been dreamt up.
There is another track from our Album of the Week from Boyzone, another spin of Record of the Week from Whitney Houston, Lester's Library tracks from Bajka and Toby Keith, and a classic toe-tapper from Whistling Jack Smith in Listener's Library. There is also more Pause for Thought with Tim Turvey. Expect the unexpected, and you will still be surprised, but you can guarantee you will be entertained throughout.
Alex also gets your tips on the etiquette of social networking as part of Radio 2's Get Connected campaign, now that he has got his own Twitter account (@alexthedarklord). Throughout March, Radio 2's Get Connected campaign is endeavouring to help you get online - if you're not already - and to understand technology better. If you're not online but would like to be, then phone the 麻豆官网首页入口 Advice Line on 08000 150 950. Lines are open from 8am - 10pm, 7 days a week.
