Entertaining you through the night with his inspired daftness and eclectic music choices, it is Alex on the Best Time of the Day Show, including a new Record and Album of the Week.

Fight off those Monday blues by tuning in to Alex on the Best Time of the Day Show for a dose of night-owl comedy and fantastic music. There is a new Record and Album of the Week, Pause for Thought at 3.20am, two more unexpected tracks from Lester's Library and one from you from the Listener's Library. Beware, the Drums of Pun or the Mallet of Stupidity could go off at any time. You have been warned!
