Alex is talking to pets and rifling through the hidden corners of your home for questionable treasures. More from Lester's and Listener's Libraries and Pause for Thought also.

Alex is back on the Best Time of the Day shoe. We are dealing with inappropriate fits of giggles after Alex sniggered his way through a small and intimate gig the night before. He is also asking you to admit which items you have hidden around your house; confessions from the cobwebs in You Are What You Hide. Expect several mentions of "specialist" magazines. In Doolittle or Doolally we are finding out what our pets really want to say to us, and there is another serving of Edwina curry with Aneka rice.
There is an epic Mott the Hoople track from the Listener's Library and Gary Moore and Scarlette Fever in Lester's Library, plus another classic Hollies track from Album of the Week, Record of the Week from Ben Montague and Pause for Thought with Sherry Williamson.
