I think it was called 'Up to the Hour'...was it not by James Galway? I used to commute through Central London 30 years ago in my beloved Peacock Blue Vauxhall Viva and I used to go through Parliament Square at about 8 Am each day listening to it! I also liked the tunes that radio 4 used for the news such as the PM programme all sadly gone replaced by bongs of Big Ben...

But what about the other Radio 4 theme tune -used around 1978 up to every hour (when the GTS was used) - it was a piece of medieval/early music of about 30secs duration. They didn't use it for very long, but was lovely. It was used later on BBC 1 For Schools and Colleges during one of their countdown clock sequences.. anyone remember it ???
