Alex, Radio 2's Dark Lord of the early mornings, presents his interactive blend of music and unique wit, including the Record and Album of the Week. Also on the Best Time of the Day Show, Alex raids his record collection for something new, or downright surprising from Lester's Library - and there's one from you in the Listeners' Library.
