BBC Radio 2 - Alex Lester, 13/01/2011

Let Alex's antics and his great music selection keep you entertained through the night.

Witty conversation and a great selection of music throughout the night. More from Record and Album of the Week, plus unexpected tracks from Lester's and Listener's Libraries.

Alex is here to keep you entertained with his unique brand of witty chat accompanied by a great selection of tunes. 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 "What Do You Call the Remote Control?"- 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 Gregg Allman and something wonderful from Roise Ledet. The Listener's Library track is an instrumental from Acoustic Alchemy as suggested by Chris Guest from Nottingham. There's another track from the Album of the Week by Lindisfarne, plus a play for the Record of the Week from Bryan Ferry. And, it's the second Half-Time Hooter of the Week. Let the buffoonery begin!

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
