The Half-Time Hooter's here on the Best Time of the Day Show with Alex, meaning even more stupidity and top tunes to take you through the night. Plus Album and Record of the Week.

It's Wednesday which means it is time for the first Half-Time Hooter of the Week; even more inspired daftness and brilliant music from the Dark Lord himself, Alex Lester. More funny filth in Day 3 of National Muck Week, fancy dress gone wrong in "Costume Drama" and sightings of celeb autographs in "Celeb Woz 'Ere".

There is more from Album of the Week by Dionne Bromfield, Record of the Week by Noah and the Whale, two more selections from Alex's personal CD collection, Lester's Library, and one by Bad Manners from the Listener's Library, plus Pause for Thought at 3.20am.

Nobody else, nowhere else.
