Witty conversation and great music to take you through the night. More from Record and Album of the Week, plus unexpected tracks from Lester's and Listener's Libraries.

Alex is here to keep you entertained with his unique brand of witty chat accompanied by a great selection of tunes. This morning, there is more Predictive Chat; those annoying one-liners that always pop up in certain situations. Alex asks the questions, is your life a sitcom and is your house a soap opera? He is still taking suggestions for what to buy his dad for his impending 84th birthday, and we are cramming our entire life story into a single text message: a bio text! Clare Catford provides a Pause for Thought at 3.20am and there is another stampede in the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.
On the music front, there is a new track from Black Country Communion and some gospel from The Golden Gate Quartet. The Listener's Library track, suggested by you, comes from Jimi Hendrix. There is another track from Album of the Week by Caro Emerald and there is another chance to hear Record of the Week from Jamiroquai. Nobody else, nowhere else.
