The Half-Time Hooter's here on the Best Time of the Day Show, which means even more stupidity and top tunes to take you through the night. Plus Album and Record of the Week.

It's Wednesday which means it is time for the first Half-Time Hooter of the Week; even more inspired daftness and brilliant music from the Dark Lord himself, Alex Lester. There's more daft bucket memories on Day 3 of Alex's National Bucket Week. More hilarious tales of being disturbed from deep sleep to face horror in "Rip the Kip". New for today, we are sending singers to the stables in "Pop Star to Farm Star". Plus, Pause for Thought at 3.20am and another visit to the 4.15 Confusion Hareem.

There is more from Album of the Week by Paul Simon, Record of the Week from Adele, Lester's Library tracks from Steve Tyler with Nicole Scherzinger and a live track from Doobie Brothers, plus your Listener's Library track by Jefferson Airplane.

Nobody else, nowhere else.
