The Best Time of The Day Show, with the Album and Record of the Week, Lester's Library and the Listeners' Library features.

Alex brings his own combination of music and conversation to early weekday mornings, making this The Best Time of the Day Show. More movie mash-ups in When Harry Potter Met Sally with new titles including Miracle on Friday 13th, High Noon School Musical, There's Something About Mary Poppins and Brief Encounters of the Third Kind. Lily Allen is our News Hank subject today; headlines include "Lily Takes Lifelong Vow of Celibacy".

From Lester's Library today there is a track from the late, great Kirsty Maccoll and something new from the Two Door Cinema Club. Your selection from the Listener's Library is some 90s rock from Extreme. There is another spin of Record of the Week by Meat Loaf, and more from Album of the Week by Free/Bad Company. Pause for Thought comes from Ali Hutchinson.
