The Dark Lord presents The Best Time Of The Day Show. Includes the Record and Album of The Week, Lester's Library and Pause For Thought.

Alex, aka The Dark Lord, presents a blend of music and conversation. With just days to go now before Alex leaves the Dark Kingdom and jets across the pond for American Adventure 3 - touch wood - there is a travel theme to the show. Alex is creating the world's most luxurious lodgings, The Heavenly Hotel, which comes complete with a cloud nine to recline on, and Susan Boyle with angel wings hovering over your bed singing lullabies until you fall asleep. Staying Stateside, Dolly Parton is today's News Hank, and there are stories involving being locked out of hotel rooms...naked!
From Lester's Library there is a track from Toby Keith and a new track from The Unconventionals. The Listener's Library selection comes from Buddy Guy. There is a track from the new Album of the Week by Jakob Dylan, the new Record of the Week from Craig David and Pause for Thought at 3.20am.
