The Best Time Of The Day Show, with The 2nd Half-Time Hooter, Record and Album of the Week, plus the Lester's Library and Listeners' Library music selections.

It's that time of the week already, the 2nd Half-Time Hooter of the Week is here. There are more tales of inappropriate laughing, which we have been informed is scientifically known as a "Giggle Loop". The show is now branching into the world of fashion. Alex is on the hunt for that new fashion invention that will make him a million from the gullible; the double-breasted sock and the bra that doubles as sunglasses are possible lines. From Lester's Library there are tracks from Bhundu Boys and Pokey LaFarge & the South City Three, and some classic blues from Huey "Piano" Smith & The Clowns from the Listener's Library. There is another track from The Hollies' Album of the Week, Record of the Week from Ben Montague and Pause For Thought at 3.20am. Buffoons are go!
