With Lester's and Listeners' Libraries, The week's first Half-Time Hooter, and Record and Album of the Week, all on the Best Time Of The Day Show. Expect the unexpected with Alex.

Time for the first Half-Time Hooter of the Week. On the show today, there is more cinema silliness in the thread, When Harry Potter Met Sally. New titles include Breakfast at Terminator's and G.I. Jane Austen. Sylvester Stallone is the News Hank target, although the attention turns to his mother Jackie's interest in "rumpology". And in Spring has Sprung, Alex is still on the lookout for evidence that spring has started.
There is another track from Album of the Week by Free and Bad Company, another play of Record of the Week by Meat Loaf, a track chosen by you in Listener's Library from The Faces, and from Lester's Library there are tracks from Joe Bonamassa and vintage gospel from the Golden Gate Quartet. Pause For Thought comes from Ali Hutchinson.
