The Best Time of the Day Show, with the week's second Half-Time Hooter, Lester's Library and Listeners' Library music choices, Record and 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. National Trash week continues, there are more stories which begin, "My heart sank when..." and, new for today, we are finding alternative ways to tell the time in a world with no clocks. There are another bunch of totally unique people barging their way into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen, Pause for Thought with Tim Turvey and the second Half-Time Hooter of the week.
There is a new track from Bryan Ferry and a re-mastered track from Robin Trowers in Lester's Library, and your choice from the Listeners' Library comes from Suzy Bogguss. There is another track from the Album of the Week by Sheryl Crow, and you can hear the Record of the Week by I Am Arrows again.
