The Dark Lord presents The Best Time of the Day Show. Includes the Record and Album of the Week, Lester's and the Listener's Library and Pause for Thought.

Not working on a Bank Holiday Monday? Pah! That's no excuse for Alex not to bring you The Best Time of the Day Show. This morning, Alex's alter-ego, Johnny Havoc is still trying to save the world. Initially, he did have 14 hours but the kind hostile aliens agreed to give him 3 hours extra before they blow him to smithereens. New for Monday, Alex brings the Easter Bunny bang upto date: step forward, E-Bunz. More new car journey games and Geri Halliwell is the latest News Hank.
Albert King and Richard Walters are selected from Lester's Library and there is an Aerosmith ballad from Listener's Library. No, not that one from the Bruce Willis film. The new Record of the Week comes from Train, there's a track from the new Album of the Week by Scouting For Girls, and Pause for Thought at 3.20am. Start your week on a high.
