Music and chat on the Best Time of the Day Show. With Record and Album of the Week, more Library selections and Pause for Thought.

Tune in for another serving of the show that will simply refuse to let you sleep with more great tunes and unpredictable chat to take you through the night. On The Best Time of the Day Show this morning there are more homemade wonders of the world in "Hark at my Landmark", more unwanted homemade gifts from "The Family Santa", and more homemade plain daftness in "Split not Quit". Pause for Thought comes in at 3.20a.m. and there is another stampede for the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.

From Lester's Library there is a track from brilliant new singer-songwriter, Ruarri Joseph, and one from classic jazz artist, Mose Allison. Your selection from the Listener's Library comes from The Tom Robinson Band. You can also hear another track from Album of the Week by Take That, and Record of the Week from Cee Lo Green. Buffoons are go!
