Another night of inspired daftness on The Best Time of the Day show with Alex. More from the Listener's and Lester's Libraries, Album and Record of the Week and Pause For Thought.

If everybody is talking about it, you can pretty much guarantee Alex won't be; there is nothing normal about this show. More odd suggestions of free gifts with CDs, including free insurance quotes with the deluxe edition of the next Iggy Pop album, and a free ex-band member with the next Sugababes CD. In Double the Trouble in Half the Time we are making life much easier for you, and all it costs is your dignity. Plus, the hideous headlines are screaming about our news hank today, Robbie Williams, Robin Beck and Clifford T. Ward are featured in Lester's Library, Rush are selected from Listener's Library, more from Album of the Week by Harper Simon, Record of the Week by The Avett Brothers and Pause for Thought at 3.20am.
Expect the unexpected, and you will still be surprised.
