It's Half-Time Hooter time on The Best Time of the Day Show with Alex which means even more stupidity and top tunes to take you through the night. Album and Record of the Week also.

It's Wednesday which means it is time for the first Half-Time Hooter of the Week; even more inspired daftness and brilliant music from the Dark Lord himself, Alex Lester. This morning there are more admissions in the thread, "I knew I was bad as the kids when..." National Curse Week continues with some very odd replacements for naughty words revealed, and there are more British remakes of classic films in "From Hollywood to Holyhead". More wannabes are unleashed into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen and Pause for Thought comes in at 3.20am.
From Lester's Library there is a new track from Phil Campbell, and a vintage song from Edith Piaf. Your choice from Listener's Library comes from Al Stewart. There is another spin of Record of the Week from KT Tunstall and a track from Album of the Week by Goo Goo Dolls.
