BBC Radio 2 - Alex Lester, 16/02/2010

Music interspersed with witty chat on The Best Time Of The Day Show.

More confessions of secret infantile behaviour: toy rubber ducks, tantrums and more! Plus, there is a new member to the gang and more from Lester's and Listeners' Libraries.

There is a new member of the gang on The Best Time of the Day Show. His arrival has been the talk of Buffoon Town. It is... the big, red spot on producer Dr. Strangelove's nose. It has taken on a life of its own with its own thread. Plans for a West End musical about it are underway. The mickey-taking is in full force this morning. We are also saying, "Oh Grow Up You Big Baby" to those who still bathe with their rubber duck, ask the other parent when one the first one says "no", and reject high-interest savings accounts in favour of the plastic blue police-man moneybox they got when they enrolled with a bank at school. Classic Velvet Underground and '80s synth-pop with Eighth Wonder in Lester's Library, plus a forgotten rock gem from FM in the Listener's Library. More from the Album of the Week from Johnny Cash, Record of the Week from sensational new artist, Rox, and Pause for Thought with David Wilkinson.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
