Thursday means time for the Second Half Time Hooter of the Week. The show will be packed with all kinds of nonsense, offbeat conversation and fantastic music from start to finish.

If anyone can entertain you through the night then it is Alex on The Best Time of the Day Show. The second Half-Time Hooter has sounded which means even more daftness. Alex is still hunting for the Last Bargain on Earth and compiling The Lexicon of Lester. Meanwhile, the zoo in Buffoon Town has closed and residents are being asked to employ the many animals that will be homeless. Who wouldn't want an octopus in the kitchen to wash the dishes, dry them and put them away all at the same time?
From Lester's Library, there are tracks from Goldheart Assembly and Robben Ford; your choice from the Listener's Library is a classic tune from Shirley Ellis. There is another track from our Album of the Week by Amy MacDonald, another spin of Record of the Week from Harper Simon and Pause for Thought at 3.20am.
