Another slab of inspired daftness and great tunes to entertain you through the night. More from Album and Record of the Week, plus songs from Lester's and Listener's Libraries.

It's the only way to keep yourself entertained throughout the night with laugh-out-loud chat and a playlist crammed with classic tracks, old and new. There is another track from Album of the Week, another play of Record of the Week, two more selections from Alex's CD collection in Lester's Library, and one of your choices from the Listener's Library. More Pause for Thought at 3.20am.
