The Best Time Of The Day Show, with Lester's and the Listeners' Library features, Record and Album of the Week and Pause for Thought. Take a walk on the daft side.

Popular features include the Listeners' Library, where you choose the music, and a double-selection from Alex's own collection in Lester's Library. There is another track from the Album of the Week, another spin of Record of the Week and Pause for Thought at 3.20am. Predict the unpredictable, and you are still in for a surprise.
