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.

Start another week with Alex who will entertain you in the small hours with his eclectic playlist and unique brand of conversation. There is a brand new Album and Record of the Week from Brandon Flowers and Robbie Williams/Gary Barlow respectively, two more selections from Alex's CD collection in Lester's Library, this morning featuring new releases from Santana and Gary Bennett, and Anthony Bishop gets his request for some Bon Jovi granted in the Listener's Library. Plus, Pause for Thought at 3.20am, the start of National Pet Week, some Spanish in the 4.15 one-off canteen, and mass Fred Slippage as the Dark Lord and his followers tried to find a suitable 1950s costume for a themed wedding to be attended by stand-in producer Andy.
