Entertaining you through the night with his inspired daftness and eclectic music choices, it is Alex on The Best Time of the Day Show, including a new Record and Album of the Week.

Alex begins National 'National Treasures Week', and starts to construct an amusement park for scaredycats like him. Plus a new Record and Album of the Week from Rumer and Alan Pownall, Pause for Thought, some classic soul and new reggae from Lester's Library and Kate Bush in the Listener's Library. Plus, and another batch of inductees into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen. Beware, the Drums of Pun or the Mallet of Stupidity could go off at any time. You have been warned!
