Boiler keeps igniting - even though its already on!

We've got a Potterton Prima boiler that is misbehaving at the moment! Basically the ignition/pilot keeps igniting, even when the boiler is already on. It repeatedly does this every 2/3 seconds until we get annoyed at the clicking (which also intefers with our TV signal!) and decide to turn it off!
Has anyone come across this problem before? Any easy solutions?
thanks

It's a flame rectification problem.
Could be caused my many things, including a bad earth,poor ignition lead connection, partially blocked pilot or even the chance of a pcb fault.
You need a gas engineer in to service and check it over.0 -
