The Best Time of the Day Show. With the Half-Time Hooter, Pause for Thought, plus the Lester's Library and Listeners' Library music selections, courtesy of Keith Hollywood

Alex, Radio 2's Dark Lord of the early mornings, presents his interactive blend of music and unique wit, as Dr Frankenstein builds 'Frankenbird' and we collect Protest Singer Cliches. Also on the Best Time of the Day Show, Alex raids his record collection for something new, or downright surprising from Lester's Library and there's one from you in the Listeners' Library. Plus - the second Half-Time Hooter of The Week.
