The Best Time of the Day Show with the Dark Lord. With brilliant music and witty chat to keep you entertained through the small hours.

Let Alex kick-start your weekend with Feelgood Friday on the Best Time of the Day Show. More tales of sitting and standing in things most horrid in "Step, Toe and Dung", and reel in horror at stories of items that have been loaned out and never returned. Pause for Thought at 3.20am with Mike Ford and the final chance for the week to don those laddered tights in the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.
There is a final track from the Album of the Week by REM, another spin of Record of the Week by Taylor Swift, tracks by James Taylor Quartet and Patrick Wolf from Lester's Library and one from The Jam selected by you from the Listener's Library. Pause for Thought at 3.20am. Expect the unexpected with Alex, and you will still be in for a surprise.
Buffoons are go!
