Potterton boiler not firing up?

I have a floor mounted potterton 11 boiler.
I can light the pilot light having just changed the thermocouple.
Initially the boiler lit up but did not stay running for long.
Now the boiler will not fire up.
I can hear the electrics hum but there is obviously no gas released.
The pilot light however is still alight.
Any ideas would be welcome.

more likely not done the thermocouple right
