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

It's the best way to start your weekend, tune into Feelgood Friday on the Best Time of the Day Show with Alex. Keeping you away from the land of nod, expect Alex to play only the best selection of music interspersed with hilarious conversation. He's taking a week off so he is tying up loose threads; everything must go. More dreaded homemade gifts from "The Family Santa", cutting costs but doubling daftness in "Split Not Quit" and landmarks you won't find in brochures in "Hark at my Landmark". More Pause for Thought at 3.20am and the last chance to get in the 4.15 One-Off Canteen for over a week as it closes for refurbishment.
From Lester's Library there are track from Del Rio Ramblers and one from Frank Sinatra. Your Listener's Library track - perfect for that Friday feeling - it's Modern Romance. There's one more track from Take That from Album of the Week plus Record of the Week from Cee Lo Green.
Expect the unexpected, and you are still in for a surprise.
