Another slab of inspired daftness and great tunes to entertain through the night. More from Album and Record of the Week, and songs from Lester's and Listener's Libraries.

It's the only way to keep yourself entertained throughout the night with laugh-out-loud chat and playlist crammed with classic tracks, old and new. There is a remastered Album of the Week from Queen and the Record of the Week from Sugarland, two more selections from Alex's CD collection in Lester's Library including something new from White Lies and a classic from the Glenn Miller Orchestra, and Stephen in Devon has his choice played in Listener's Library. Plus, it's an All-New Tuesday so a brand new batch of threads including Added VATue, Lester-cise Videos and Alex asks for your assistance in buying his sister a birthday present. And, there's Pause for Thought at 3.20am.
