BBC Radio 2 - Alex Lester, 12/01/2011

Laugh-out-loud chat and fantastic tunes on the Best Time of the Day show with Alex.

Let Alex guide you through the small hours with his blend of unique humour and fantastic music. Record and Album of the Week included, plus Lester's and Listener's Library tracks.

Spend the night with the Dark Lord, who will be keeping you laughing with his witty conversation interspersed with a great mix of music. If you are looking for a reason not to go to sleep, then look no further; the Best Time of the Day show is here to keep you entertained through the night with a great selection of music and Alex's witty chat. This morning, Alex asks if you've had to explain something old to someone young in "Maybe It's Because I'm a Dinosaur", have you seen someone take a funny photo in "Snap, Cackle and What?" and there's Fred Slippage with "Do Men Where Gloves?" It's all about the bright side on the dark side of the day. There's a chance to get inducted into the 4.15 One-Off Canteen, and Pause for Thought at 3.20am. From Lester's Library there's the new one from RJ Thompson and something forgotten from The Georgia Satellites. The Listener's Library track is a lost single from Billy Fury courtesy of Harry Barrett from Three Counties. There is another track from the Album of the Week by Lindisfarne, plus a play for the Record of the Week from Bryan Ferry. Buffoons are go!

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
