BBC Radio 2 - Alex Lester, 05/03/2010

Feelgood Friday with The Dark Lord on The Best Time of the Day Show.

It's Feelgood Friday time with The Dark Lord himself. More unexpected playlist choices, more witty chat and more than enough reason to tune in to The Best Time of the Day Show.

Start the weekend with Alex because it is Feelgood Friday time. Roll up, roll up, it is the final day of The Last Bargain on Earth. Hear those tales of those of fantastic freebies and beating the system with a BOGOF. There are still animals needing rehousing from the recently-closed Buffoon Town zoo, in From Zoo to the Loo; if you want to make yourself look really good on a night out, why not take a giant, sweaty gap-toothed hippo with you? That should improve your chances! Thus, the slate is clean for an All-New Monday.

From Lester's Library there is a classic feelgood track from The Contours, and a gentle song from Marcus Hummon also. There is a Bee Gees live track from the Listener's Library, a final track from our Album of the Week from Amy MacDonald and another spin of Record of the Week from Harper Simon. Pause for Thought with Becky Lively features also.

As if all of that wasn't enough Feelgood-ery to start your weekend, The Dark Lord has a new sound effect. Joining the Drums of Pun and the Trumpet of Shame, he now gives you...The Mallet of Stupidity. Nobody Else. Nowhere Else.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
