The best way to start the week with brilliant music and hilarious chat on The Best Time of the Day Show. There's a new Record and Album of the Week, plus more Library selections.

Start another week with Alex who will entertain you in the small hours with his eclectic playlist and unique brand of conversation. It's an Almost New Monday this morning. New for today, Alex is creating his own theme restaurant in "Competing Eating"; we are listing all of those cliche plotlines from TV and film in "Foreseen on the Screen"; and we continue to celebrate our journey down this mortal coil in "The Age of Concern". More Pause for Thought at 3.20am and the doors to the 4.15 One-Off Canteen are open once more.

From Lester's Library there are tracks from Reba McEntire and Aussie rockers, Airbourne. Your choice from Lester's Library comes from Sweet. The new Record of the Week is from KT Tunstall and you can hear a track from the new Album of the Week by James Blunt.
