The Best Time Of The Day Show, with The 2nd Half-Time Hooter, Record and Album of the Week, plus the Lester's Library and Listeners' Library music selections.

It's time for the second Half-Time Hooter on The Best Time of the Day Show. More cinematic silliness with even more movie mash-ups including Kill Billy Elliott and Lock, Stock and Stuart Little. Patsy Kensit is the subject of News Hank, with headlines including, "Patsy to Marry Unknown Man Thought to Have No Connection to Music Industry". Plus, there is frog talk. What did you expect on this show?
From Lester's Library there is a track from Swedish electro-pop act, Koop, and a vintage tune from Eddie Cochran. Alex also plays one of your requests from the Listener's Library, this morning the track is a classic from Tony Joe White. More from Album of the Week by Free/ Bad Company and Record of the Week by Meat Loaf. Pause for Thought is with Ali Hutchinson.
Don't forget, Alex is now on Twitter so if you wish to add him he can be found @alexthedarklord.
