Let Alex guide you through the small hours with his blend of unique humour and fantastic music. Record & Album of the Week included, plus Lester's & Listener's Library tracks too.

Spend the night with the Dark Lord, who will be keeping you laughing with his witty conversation interspersed with a great mix of music. This morning, Alex is taking suggestions on how he can maintain his current level of media attention following the announcement of his engagement; plus he is exploring ways in which we can avoid brussel sprout wastage as the country is in thread of a shortage, we are "Touting the Sprout". Plus, more updates on Antler Watch and Panto Lotto, another appearance from Noel the Christmas Badger, Pause for Thought at 3.20am and another chance to get into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen. This morning, Alex has raided his personal CD collection and brought in tracks by Florence and the Machine and Curtis Mayfield for Lester's Library; the Listener's Library track comes from Pat Benatar. There is another track from Album of the Week by Annie Lennox, and Record of the Week by Hurts. Buffoons are go!
