The weekend starts here! Alex provides laughs and great music on the Best Time of the Day Show. More from Record and Album of the Week plus Lester's and Listener's Libraries.

It's the best way to start your weekend by tuning into the Best Time of the Day Show with Alex. Every Friday is a feelgood Friday which means even more great tunes and inspired daftness to keep you happy through the night. Plus more tales of those "Pest Guests" in your life, and it is the final day of our National Box Week. Pause for Thought at 3.20am and the final visit of the week to the 4.15 Confusion Hareem.

There is a final track from the Album of the Week by Status Quo, another spin of Record of the Week by Emin, new Lester's Library tracks from Kings of Leon and Jimmie Vaughan, and your Listener's Library track by Poison.

Buffoons are go!
