According to Andrew Sandoval's The Monkees: The Day-by-Day Story of the 60s TV Pop Sensation, "The Prince and the Pauper" - the twenty-first episode of The Monkees series - was broadcast fifty years ago to-day (6 February 1967).  It was written by Gerald Gardner, Dee Caruso, and Peter Meyerson, directed by James Komack, and featured the song "Mary, Mary."  Sandoval describes the plot as: "Davy comes to the aid of a lovelorn Prince Ludlow - who just happens to be Davy's doppelganger."
