Alex brings his own combination of music and conversation to early weekday mornings, making this The Best Time Of The Day Show. Alex's Heavenly Hotel is almost open, the hotel where all of your wildest dreams are possible; Leslie Phillips is even on reception to greet you as you walk in. In new thread, Voice of Choice, we are borrowing voices and being childish with them, and today's News Hank is Sting. And, boy, does he get stung!
There is some country music by Tracy Byrd and a track by newcomers, Super U, from Lester's Library, and Houston Wells and the Marksmen from the Listener's Library. There is another track from Album of the Week by Jakob Dylan, Record of the Week by Craig David and Pause for Thought also.
