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.

Time for the 2nd Half-Time Hooter of the Week, which means more inspired daftness with the Great Dark Lord on The Best Time of the Day Show. The world's most tedious theme park, Boloxnia's Wild World of Dull, is still being constructed, and the Gender Converter is still spreading sexism equally. News Hank today is the shy and retiring, Pamela Anderson.

From Lester's Library there is a spin of the latest single from rock megastars, Kiss, and some vintage Ray Charles. From the Listener's Library there is a seldom-played song from Journey. More Album of the Week from Scouting for Girls, Record of the Week from Train, Pause for Thought at 3.20 and much more. Nobody else, nowhere else.
