Music and chat on the Best Time of the Day Show. With Album and Record of the Week, plus Lester's and Listener's Library song choices.

This morning there are more tales of receiving fake goods on Christmas Day in "Santa Fraud", and we are replacing the traditional with the trendy for the tinsel season in "Trendy Trimmings". Further Christmas-gone-wrong sightings in Antler Watch, more Panto Lotto, and another appearance from Noel the Christmas Badger who will be dispersing some invaluable advice for surviving the festive season. Pause for Thought at 3.20 and another chance to get into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.
The festive choices from Lester's Library this morning come from Corey Taylor (yes, of violent metal band, Slipknot - but don't be afraid!) and one from Louis Armstrong. Your choice from the Listener's Library is by The Spinners. You can also hear Record of the Week again by Adele, and another track from Album of the Week by Michael Jackson.
