Extract from Wikipedia entry re ITV Schools -

"The two pieces of music used on Channel 4, the Journey and Just A Minute, were both written in 1986 by "James Aldenham", which was a pseudonym for Brian Bennett, former drummer with The Shadows, and who has, for many years, written TV themes, such as the BBC Golf theme tune."

Thanks for the explanation Jim!

In addition:
Both tracks are from the Music House library.
Just A Minute was published on the CD That's Entertainment (MHE-15, 60 secs track) in 1989.
The Journey comes from the CD Panorama (MHA-12, 5:59) issued also in 1989.
Both tracks are credited to Brian Laurence Bennett and James Thomas Stokoe in the Music House data base.
On MHE-15 "James Aldenham" is given as composer possbily because with Watch It and Superbowl this CD includes two Brian Bennett only tracks.
I don't have MHA-12, so I cannot check with this release.

Hope this is of help.
