It's Feelgood Friday with Alex on The Best Time of the Day Show, the best way to start the weekend with brilliant music and hilarious chat. Album & Record of the Week included also.

It's the best way to start your weekend, tune into Feelgood Friday on the Best Time of the Day Show with Alex. Keeping you away from the land of nod, expect Alex to play only the best selection of music interspersed with hilarious conversation. This morning, more hideously obvious plots from film and TV in "Foreseen on the Screen", lessons you weren't taught at school in "Advice for Life", and more surprising answers to those polite questions we hear everyday in "When Manners Go Wrong". Andrew Martlew provides Pause for Thought at 3.20am and there is the final chance to fill your boots in the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.

There is a double dose of country from Lester's Library with tracks from Blake Shelton and Easton Corbin, while the Listener's Library track comes from the King of Parody, Weird Al Yankovic. There is a final track from Album of the Week by James Blunt and Record of the Week by KT Tunstall.
