Lynn Parsons keeps The Best Time of the Day Show going while Alex is on holiday. Great music and lively chat throughout the night, plus Record and Album of the Week tracks.

Alex is away on his American Adventure, leaving Lynn Parsons in charge of The Best Time of the Day Show. Lynn kick starts the week by asking what's the oldest object in your house as well as solving the brain-teaser - what is the world's most popular musical instrument? Marilyn Monroe and Robbie Robertson get an airing in Songs from Lynn's Chalet, Chicago are hand picked by Laura in Listener's Library and Katie Melua is Album Of The Week & Scissor Sisters are Record Of The Week. Splendid!
