Spend the night with Alex on the Best Time of the Day Show for hilarious converastion and an eclectic mix of tunes. Album & Record of the Week and Pause for Thought included also.

It's time for the first Half-Time Hooter on The Best Time of the Day Show with the Dark Lord himself, Alex. Expect even more bonkers conversation and a varied selection of tunes. More revelations of things that we have lost and misplaced in the thread, You Big Loser; displays of deliberate bad manners in the new thread, A Message To You, Rudely; and in the thread, Threp'ny Brit, we are listing three British icons that say it all about Great Britain. Example: James Bond, Basildon Bond, Brook Bond. Only on this show...

The Lester's Library choices this morning come from country artist, Josh Thompson, and a new track from Steve Miller Band, while the Listener's Library track comes from punk legends, The Only Ones. There is a Traffic track selected from the Album of the Week by Steve Winwood, another play of the Record of the Week by Kylie Minogue plus more,.
