The Dark Lord presents The Best Time Of The Day Show. Includes the Record and Album of The Week, Lester's Library and Pause For Thought.

He may be The Dark Lord but even he got that loving feeling on Valentine's Day. Find out what made this one a special one for him. It's an All-New Monday on The Best Time of the Day Show. We are re-assessing great landmark moments in time by looking at History Through the Eyes of Somebody That History Forgot. We all know about Henry VIII's many wives, but spare a thought for the woman that had to mop the floor after the beheadings. We are also playing that dreaded team-building game. You know, the one where you list three facts about yourself, but one of them is fictional. Only this is with Alex, so there is a twist in Inappropriate Ice-Breakers. Plus, what part of your childhood can you still not let go of? Do you still go to bed with a dummy?

There is a new Album of the Week from Johnny Cash, a brilliant new Record of the Week from the hotly-tipped soul-singer, Rox. Lester's Library choices come from The Eels and Rory Gallagher, plus vintage Listener's Library from Jimmy the Hoover.
