Alex may be away but Lynn Parsons steps in to entertain listeners through the night with lively chat and an eclectic mix of music including Record and Album of the Week tracks.

While Alex is on his travels, the lovely Lynn Parsons takes over the Best Time of the Day Show. This morning Lynn is talking creepy-crawlies, superstition and spectacles! Songs from Lynn's Chalet come from Mark Morrison with Connor Reeves, and some movie magic from Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell. The Listener's Library track is an 80s gem by Hazel O'Connor, there is another track from Album of the Week by Renee Fleming, Record of the Week by new artist, Tiffany Page, and Pause for Thought at 3.20am.
