Pick of the Pops celebrates the Coronation of King Charles by playing two top twenty charts from key weeks in his life. In this hour, Paul Gambaccini goes back to November 1966, the week of King Charles’ 18th birthday. We can only speculate if he celebrated by dancing to Cilla, The Beach Boys and The Hollies!
