Alex, AKA The Dark Lord, brings more laughs and music through the small hours on The Best Time of the Day Show. Includes 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. This morning it is Day 3 of National Lost and Found Week, there are more tips on how to spot the space aliens among us, and we are talking about the odd things that have been posted through our door. More Pause for Thought at 3.20am and the 4.15 One-Off Canteen is open business as usual.
From Lester's Library there is a new track from Two Door Cinema Club and some vintage Jimmy Witherspoon. We get heavy with a Skid Row track from Listener's Library, plus there is a track from Album of the Week by KT Tunstall, and Record of the Week from James Blunt.
