Alex is on holiday so Lynn Parsons is looking after the show, with a mix of lively chat and a great playlist. Album and Record of the Week included and Pause For Thought at 3.20am.

There aren't many who can fill the Dark Lord's shoes on The Best Time of the Day Show; luckily, Lynn Parsons is here so the show will go on. It's Feelgood Friday, the best way to kickstart the weekend, and Lynn has brought her trampoline into the studio! Songs from the Chalet this morning come from Silje, and a comedy classic from Peter Sellers & Sophia Loren; the Listener's Library track is a rock classic from Black Sabbath. There is a final track from Album of the Week by Renee Fleming, Record of the Week by Tiffany Page and Pause for Thought with Y.Y. Rubinstein at 3.20am.
