Alex, alias the Dark Lord, brings more laughs and music through the small hours on the Best Time of the Day Show. Includes tracks from Lester's and Listener's Libraries and more.

It's time for the first Half-Time Hooter on the Best Time of the Day Show with the Dark Lord himself, Alex Lester. Expect a night of oddball conversation which includes: more daft suggestions for PC re-makes of classic films in "Sensible Cinema", confessions of shameful objects we have hidden in the darkest corners of our homes in "Pride Hide" and re-live the pain, nausea, financial loss and, erm, fun of the funfair in Day 3 of National Fairground Week. Pause for Thought comes in at 3.20am with Clare Catford.

There's a track from Album of the Week by Raphael Saadiq, Record of the Week from Clare Maguire, there's a forgotten disco gem by Desmond Child and Rouge from Lester's Library plus a new one from Devon Sproule, and your request from the Listener's Library by Driver 67.

Nobody else, nowhere else.
