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.

Alex presents his penultimate show as he is soon to disappear across the pond for a month on his American Adventure 3. Get the hankies at the ready for tomorrow's show. Meanwhile, on today's Alex is still having childish fun by swapping over voices. In the new thread, It 'Ad To Be Done, he is exploring equal opportunities in the world of advertising; how about a burly body builder doing the shaking and vac-ing for a change? Plus, today's News Hank celebrity is the slap-tastic Grace Jones.
Lester's Library choices are inspired by the impending trip with tracks from Kenny Chesney and Joe Satriani, while the Listener's Library track comes from Finnish Goth-rockers, Night Wish. More Album of the Week from Jakob Dylan, Record of the Week from Craig David and Pause for Thought also.
