BBC Radio 2 - Alex Lester, 12/04/2011

Laugh through the night with Alex on the Best Time of the Day Show, plus fantastic music.

Another slab of inspired daftness and great tunes to entertain you through the night. More from Album and Record of the Week, plus songs from Lester's and Listener's Libraries.

It's the only way to keep yourself entertained throughout the night with laugh-out-loud chat and playlist crammed with classic tracks, old and new. It is Day 2 of Alex's National Fairground Week; re-live that post-ride nausea all over again. More politically correct re-makes of classic movies in "Sensible Cinema" and - new for today - we are looking under the beds and in the shoeboxes under the stairs for those items we cannot throw away but can't display either. Pause for Thought with Claire Catford and get your Wills and Kate Microwave Ovens and Chimneys in The 4.15 Royal Wedding Tat Machine.

There is another track from Album of the Week by Raphael Saadiq, another play of Record of the Week from Clare Maguire, selections from Lester's Library by Josh Kelley and Southgate & Leigh and your Listener's Library track this morning comes from The Dead Kennedys. 

Buffoons are go!

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
