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 Phil Collins and Fran Healy respectively, two more selections from Alex's CD collection in Lester's Library, this morning featuring new releases from Chet Atkins and Squeeze, and Dave Betch from Lancashire gets his request for some Paper Lace granted in the Listener's Library. Plus, Pause for Thought at 3.20am, the start of National Bargain Week, another gaggle of unique listeners make the 4.15 one-off canteen, and No Hold Barred Greeting Cards and That's Not A Gift, That's Shopping are this morning's quirky threads.
