Winding up your week with the Dark Lord's latest musical instalments from Lester's Library, the final track from the Album of the Week, and another spin for our Record of the Week.

The final blast of daftness from The Best Time of the Day Show. Alex is now a fashion icon with the launch of his own label, Scof Couture, which is set to take the High Street in Buffoon Town by storm. Find out what odd apparel Alex has conjured up to try and make a million from the gullible. There is even more Inappropriate Laughing, including one woman who laughed while strapped to the dentist chair and somehow left with all of her teeth intact. All of this, and it is Feelgood Friday.

From Lester's Library there are new tracks from Jamie T. and Peter Gabriel, and classic rock from Grateful Dead selected from the Listener's Library. There is a final track by The Hollies from our Album of the Week, Record of the Week from Ben Montague and Pause for Thought with Sherry Ashworth.
