Another slab of inspired daftness and great tunes to keep you entertained through the night. With Album and Record of the Week plus songs from Lester's and listeners' libraries.

It's the only way to keep yourself entertained throughout the night with laugh-out-loud chat and playlist crammed with classic tracks, old and new. This morning there are more suggestions for Alex's themed restaurant, more spotting of clumsy cliches in TV and film, and more reasons to celebrate - or loathe - the entering of the Autumn of our years in The Age of Concern. More Pause for Thought with Andrew Martlew at 3.20am and more special customers are served in the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.
From Lester's Library there are tracks from The Zac Brown Band and a new one from Martyn Joseph. Your choice from Listener's Library comes from Brit-rockers, Thunder. There's another track from Album of the Week by James Blunt and Record of the Week from KT Tunstall. Nobody else, nowhere else.
