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. This morning Alex turns Mock Shock Jock in an attempt to catapult himself into the spotlight with some planned controversy. Suggestions include biting the head off of a small animal and getting caught coming out of a strip joint. Just a normal day in the life of the Dark Lord then. More tennis commentary of a different kind in the thread, "More Bums, Please", National Shed Week celebrations continue and there is a stampede of newcomers into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.
Alex selects 2 new tracks from Lester's Library from Andreya Triana and David Ford, and from Listener's Library there is a track by The Waitresses that isn't the Christmas one! Another Album of the Week track from Kylie Minogue, Record of the Week by The Hoosiers, Pause for Thought with Becky Silver at 3.20am and the second Half-Time Hooter of the Week.
