Paul Gambaccini became a presenter of Pick of the Pops on 9 July 2016, still produced by Swern and Du Croz. Du Croz was later replaced by Heather Wall but returned in 2020. At the start of his tenure as a presenter, Gambaccini featured music from the Billboard charts, along with the UK top 20, but this ended in 2017. Mark Goodier presented the 6 January and 24 February 2018 editions as Gambaccini was absent due to weather disruption and illness. Early in the Covid-19 pandemic, the show was voice-tracked due to Gambaccini being unable to travel to Wogan House.
