Alex, AKA the Dark Lord, brings more laughs and music through the small hours on the Best Time of the Day Show. Includes tracks from Lester's and the Listener's Libraries and more.

It's time for the first Half-Time Hooter on the Best Time of the Day Show with the Dark Lord himself, Alex Lester. Expect a night of oddball conversation and great music. This morning, Alex tackles some of the greater mysteries of life: what is the difference between a gravy boat and a sauce boat? More tips on how to achieve Instant Sophistication in one easy step, and for those who want to chop their spaghetti into bits, how to achieve Instant Rebellion. Plus, more Pause for Thought at 3.20 with Mark Beach, and more inductees con their way into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.
From Lester's Library there is a new track from Ghostlight, and a slice of country from Joe Nicholls. The Listener's Library selection is a track by Big Dish from 1991. There is also another track from Album of the Week by Teddy Thompson and Record of the Week from Hurts. Nobody else, nowhere else.
