Alex, the Dark Lord, brings more laughs and music through the small hours on The Best Time of the Day Show. More tracks from Lester's and the Listener's Libraries and more.

It's time for the first Half-Time Hooter on The Best Time of the Day Show with The Dark Lord himself, Alex Lester. Expect a night of oddball conversation and great music which includes a track from Album of the Week, another spin of Record of the Week, more choices from Lester's Library and one of your requests from the Listener's Library. There will be more inductees into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen and another Pause for Thought at 3.20am. Nobody else, nowhere else.
