Musical instalments from Lester's Library and the Listeners' Library on the Best Time of the Day Show.

Start the weekend on a high with The Dark Lord's Feelgood Friday. There is more Shake Rattle and Wrong, more tributes to Dr. Strangelove's recently deceased spot, more Flaunting the Haunting and some interesting trivia about Skippy the Kangaroo. We are also asking, which TV shows would be impossible to film live? Well, Wallace and Gromit would require a week of non-stop viewing for just one scene.

There is a giddy Listener's Library choice from Love Sculpture, and Bonnie Raitt and Pete Atkin from Lester's Library. One more track from Album of the Week by Johnny Cash, the Record of the Week from Rox and the final Pause for Thought for the week also.
