With the Best Time of the Day Show. Alex plays listeners' and his own eclectic musical selections in Lester's Library and the Listeners' Library. Plus Pause for Thought at 3.30am.

An extended Bank Holiday Best Time Of The Day Show starting with an ill-advised Janice & Alex duet. Dr Frankenstein sets to work on 'Frankenchild' and we ask for signs of a female mid-life crisis. Richard's choice in Listeners' Library, where you choose the music, a double-selection from Alex's own collection in Lester's Library, and Pause For Thought.
