BBC Radio 2 - Alex Lester, 17/12/2010

It's a festive Feelgood Friday with Alex, more great music and seasonal stupidity.

Music and chat on Feelgood Friday on the Best Time of the Day Show. With more from Album and Record of the Week, plus Lester's and Listener's Library song choices.

It's the best way to start your weekend by tuning into the Best Time of the Day Show with Alex. It's a festive Feelgood Friday which means even more great tunes and inspired daftness to keep you happy through the night. More tales of fabulous fakes and revolting rip-off goods in "Santa Fraud", and we ask: when did you last say, "why is it always me?" More sightings of festive fun gone pear-shaped in Antler Watch, more Panto Lotto, and more advice from Noel the Christmas Badger - what would we do without him? Plus, Pause for Thought at 3.20am and the final chance of the week to push your digestive system to the limit in the 4.15 One-Off Canteen.
Lester's Festive Library choices this morning include some reggae from Tewar, and one from JP Jones with Chrissy Hynde. There is a heavy rock treat from the Listener's Library with a classic Christmas tune reworked by Lemmy, Billy Gibbons and Dave Grohl. There is another track from Album of the Week by Michael Jackson and Record of the Week from Adele. 
Tune in next week for even more festive daftness and THREE Listener's Library tracks each morning. Let the buffoonery begin.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
