BBC Radio 2 - Alex Lester, 19/08/2010

The Best Time of the Day Show with Alex, great tunes and witty chat to keep you going.

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

Keeping you away from the land of nod, expect Alex to play only the best selection of music interspersed with hilarious conversation. This morning, there are more admissions of how we are turning into our parents, pie talk, and National Statistics Week continues; make up an absurd fact, attach a number, job's a good 'un. There's Pause for Thought with Simon Lole at 3.20am, plus the 4.15 One-Off Canteen opens its doors once again.
From Lester's Library there is a new track from Wheat, plus one from Willie Nelson. The Listener's Library track, selected by you, is an early track from Heart that you may not have heard before. There is another track from Album of the Week by I Am Arrows, plus another play of the Record of the Week by Manic Street Preachers.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
