Keeping you laughing through the night and playing the best selection of tunes, it's Alex. Includes Album and Record of the Week plus Lester's and Listener's Library features.

Alex is here to keep you entertained with his unique brand of witty chat accompanied by a great selection of tunes. It is Day 4 of National Bucket Week, the tributes are still pouring in. More tales of jumping out of bed and into action to deal with drunken spouses falling into the bath in "Rip the Kip". New for today, Alex has invented a nickname which needs an owner: could you be called "Little Cheesy Flea B"? More Pause for Thought at 3.20 and another trip to the 4.15 Confusion Hareem.

There is more from Album of the Week by Paul Simon, Record of the Week by Adele, Lester's Library tracks by Willie Nelson and Low, plus one of your choices from the Listener's Library by Sam Brown.

Let the buffoonery begin!
