Alex is away leaving Lynn Parsons running the Best Time of the Day Show, playing great music and sharing her thoughts. Album and Record of the Week and Pause for Thought also.

Lynn Parsons entertains you through the night while Alex is on his latest American Adventure. There's a chill in the air as we ask for your favourite scariest books and we ask you another mildly taxing pub quiz question. Plus there's nothing but the finest music to keep going through the night including the opening track from Katie Melua's new record for Album of the Week and there's another twirl of Scissor Sister's comeback single for Record of the Week and if that's too much then Pause for Thought adds a little perspective at 3.20am.
