BBC Radio 2 - Alex Lester, 24/12/2010

Start the festive weekend with Alex for some seasonal stupidity, witty chat and top tunes.

The festive weekend starts here with The Dark Lord, Alex. Hilarious conversation and brilliant music to entertain you through the small hours. Album & Record of the Week included.

Let Alex kick-start your festive weekend with the most Feelgood Friday of the year on the Best Time of the Day Show. This morning, we are comparing inappropriate gifts - and downright garbage gifts - that we have both sent and received. More updates on Panto Lotto, sorry sightings in Antler Watch, a final visit for the year from Noel the Christmas Badger, Pause for Thought with Steve Williams at 3.20am and one last trip to the 4.15 One-Off Canteen for 2010. 
There are three final tracks from Lester's Festive Library; this morning they are from Pink Martini, Eva Cassidy and Captain Beefheart, plus the final three from the Listener's Festive Library from Jimmy Eat World, Maddy Prior and the Carnival Band and - wait for it - Alvin and the Chipmunks! You can hear another track from Album of the Week by Susan Boyle and Record of the Week from Edei also. So, put those humbugs aside and get all festive and fuzzy with the Dark Lord.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
