The Best Time of the Day show with Alex, more laughs and top tunes than you can poke a stick at. Record and Album of the Week, Listener's and Lester's Library tracks are included.

Tune in for another serving of the show that will simply refuse to let you sleep. New for today, we are reliving those moments when wildlife got a little too close in There's a Goat in My House. We are compiling our own CD, The Most Unlikely Album in the World...Ever; suggested tracks include The Millibands singing "He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother", and Victoria Beckham and Colleen Rooney's rendition of "She Works Hard for the Money". There are more tales of odd things that have been posted through your letterbox in Letter the Devil You Know, plus Pause for Thought at 3.20am, the second Half-Time Hooter of the Week and more newcomers are ushered into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.

From Lester's Library there is a new track from 70s rockers, Stray, and one from Billy Currington. The Listener's Library track comes from Lambcop. There is another track from Album of the Week from KT Tunstall and Record of the Week by James Blunt. Nobody else, nowhere else.
