The Best Time Of The Day Show, with The 2nd Half-Time Hooter of the week, Lester's Library and the Listeners' Library tracks, Album & Record of the Week and Pause for Thought.

Alex, Radio 2's Dark Lord of the early mornings, presents his interactive blend of music and unique wit. This morning we are hearing some hilarious alternative uses of that famous phrase, "They think it's all over... it is now". There is a new thread, "BOGOF Dearly Beloved", in which Alex takes suggestions on how you can have two different church services at the same time. There are more suggestions for Design a Day and we also discuss possible artist line-ups at a nudist festival. Plus, there is a new batch of truly unique people into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.
There are two more tracks from Lester's Library: a vintage track from Blind Faith and a new track by Baby Head. The Listener's Library track is a classic from Marty Robbins, plus there is another track from Album of the Week by Lissie, Record of the Week from Scouting for Girls and Pause for Thought at 3.20am, with Alison Murdoch.
