The Dark Lord of the airwaves is back on The Best Time of the Day Show with more unconventional conversation, surprising music choices, and the Album and Record of the Week.

Buffoons are go! Alex hosts The Best Time of the Day Show which means another night of inspired silliness and witty chat. There is another track from our Album of the Week, another spin of Record of the Week, two more tracks from Lester's Library, one more of your selections from the Listener's Library, plus another Pause For Thought. Alex will also be asking you for your tips on the etiquette of social networking as part of Radio 2's Get Connected campaign.

Throughout March, Radio 2's Get Connected campaign is endeavouring to help you get online - if you're not already - and to understand technology better. If you're not online but would like to be, then phone the 大象传媒 Advice Line on 08000 150 950. Lines are open from 8am - 10pm, 7 days a week. Calls are free from a BT landline but mobile phone charges may vary. You can speak to advisors who will be able to give you details of centres and courses in your area where you can learn how to get online and use the internet.

If you are already connected to the internet, why not go to our website bbc.co.uk/radio2 and try something new for the first time; whether it's downloading a podcast, commenting on a blog, or listening back on the 大象传媒 iPlayer to a radio programme you've missed. If you don't know how to do these things, read the guides on our website bbc.co.uk/radio2.
