Start the week with The Best Time of the Day Show with the Dark Lord. Expect some brilliant music and witty chat to keep you entertained through the small hours.

Laugh away those Monday blues by tuning into the Best Time of the Day Show for offbeat conversation and fantastic music. Today it is an Almost-New Monday; the thread 'There's a Goat in My House' rolls on, as more tales of wildlife wandering into homes flood in. In the new thread 'Myths of the Mind', we celebrate those monsters and imaginary friends that terrified and delighted us as kids, and in 'Predictive Chat' we roll our eyes over those predictable one-liners you can always count on hearing in certain situations. Pause for Thought returns at 3.20am with Clare Catford, and the 4.15 One-Off Canteen is back in business.
From Lester's Library there is some reggae from Wayne Wonder and a track from Marianne Faithful. The Listener's Library track comes from George Thorogood and the Destroyers. There is a new Record of the Week from Jamiroquai and you can hear a track from the new Album of the Week by new Dutch jazz artist, Caro Emerald.
