Brian Matthew with the weekly Sixties selection of classic and less famous tracks. Also the dance of the week and the Chronicles.

Tracks this week include Fats Domino, The Four Preps, The Mamas & Papas, Lulu, The Beatles, Ray Charles, Johnny Darrell, The Dixie Cups and The Small Faces. The Sixties dance is The Continental Walk and you will need a wall to do it against! Three-In-A-Row features three songs from Bacharach and David.

The Chronicles look back to Sophia Loren arriving in style in Madrid, how the East Goodwin lightship broke adrift, the formation of a new island off Iceland called Surtsey, the first Disney themepark and the 'pound in your pocket' - but who didn't actually say that?

And you can find out what Tony Blackburn did with an artichoke.
