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

An early morning mix of music and conversation with the Dark Lord to keep you entertained through the wee small hours, and it's time for the first Half-Time Hooter of the Week. The Pallet Party must end today, so empty those trucks, trailers, spare rooms, garages, pockets, scrape that barrel, all trash welcome. There are more suggestions for what the new eighth day of the week could be called and where it will slot in, and more ideas for the football strip from hell. Plus, there are more inductees into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.
On the music front, Alex's selections from Lester's Library come from country artist, Blake Shelton, and one from new band, The Misers. The Listener's Library track comes from Arthur Lee's Love. There is another track from Album of the Week by Lissie, Record of the Week by Scouting for Girls and Pause for Thought at 3.20am.
