Alex is back for another night and asks, when is a fake better than the real thing? He is still speaking to Houses that Talk and shops that don't sell what they say they do.

Alex, Radio 2's Dark Lord of the early mornings, presents his interactive blend of music and unique wit. On this morning's show the discussion involves a fridge that makes a frog sound, fake versus real, shops that don't sell what they should and the third eye is moving down the body. 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. Alex also spins Record of the Week from Mika and plays another track from the Album of the Week by Beth Nielsen Chapman.
