Another slice of inspired daftness and great music to keep you happy through the night. More from Album and Record of the Week, plus Lester's and Listener's Library song choices.

Time waits for no man, fairground rides for wimps and Jools Holland's piano are all on the Dark Lord's creative mind on The Best Time of the Day Shoe. Plus, another track from the Album of the Week from Alan Pownall, another spin of Rumer's Record of the Week, some classic Groundhogs in Lester's Library, something contemporary from Biffy Clyro in the Listener's Library and Pause for Thought at 3.20am. Alex is armed with the Drums of Pun, the Mallet of Stupidity and the Howl of Campery; you won't get the chance to even think about sleeping!
