An extended Best Time of the Day Show, with The 2nd Half-Time Hooter of the week, plus the Lester's Library and Listeners' Library music selections.

Alex, Radio 2's Dark Lord of the early mornings, presents his interactive blend of music and unique wit - and this week he's on for longer too. 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.
