The Best Time Of The Day Show, with The 2nd Half-Time Hooter of the week, the Lester's Library & Listeners' Library music choices, Record & Album of the Week and Pause for Thought.

Alex, Radio 2's Dark Lord of the early mornings, presents his interactive blend of music and unique wit. Following the rip-roaring success of last week's Pallet Party, this week we are asking you to bring along the contents of your pockets to - wait for it - our Pocket Party! More predictive text horror stories, alternative sports you have taken part in, and there are a new batch of inductees into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen. Have a listen to find out what makes them unique enough for admission.
From Lester's Library there are new tracks from Diane Birch and Cherry Ghost, and from the Listener's Library there is a Dylan cover from Sinead Lohan. More from Album of the Week by Scissor Sisters, Record of the Week from Amy MacDonald and Pause for Thought at 3.20am. All of this, and the second Half-Time Hooter of the week!
