Have only looked at the first page of this thread so what follows is based on page one knowledge.
Drayton 241 does NOT have voltage free contacts.
What I would do to make it work is spur to boiler LNE conneceted
Boiler 3 to live on programmer, HW ON programmer to 4 on boiler (to fire for utility radiator), CH ON to 2 port live to open valve when rest of house needs heating. orange and grey of motorised valve across boiler 3 and 4 to fire boiler when valve open
Can work out wiring plan if roomstats are required.

Thought I'd leave this a while before checking back so I had maybe a few responses to read, seriously wasn't expecting so many replies!
I'm glad my mistake (of only using one valve instead of two) has prompted so much debate, and thank all of you for your input.
Anyone care to have a stab at a definitive answer to the problem in this sort of style:
FUSED 3 AMP POWER
L- 1 (Terminal on junction box/centre)
N- 2
E- 3
PROGRAMMER
N- 2
L- 1
HW OFF- N/A
CH OFF- 4
HW ON- N/A
CH ON- 5
BOILER
L- 1
N- 2
E- 3
3- 4
4- 5
5- N/A
2- PORT VALVE
BROWN- ?
BLUE ?
GREY- ?
ORANGE- ?
GREEN/YELLOW- 3
I've set up a mini circuit ready to try out your ideas before connecting everything up properly, and will reply with feedback on what did and didn't work.

look how hard that was
Live obviously comes from fused spur, neutrals and earths obviously connected together. Programmer should be linked for gravity operation.
hw = drying room
ch = the rest

What about the rest of the valve wires? Blue linked with other neutrals, green/yellow with earths. Where do grey and orange go?
he wants to know how to wire up what he has so I told him. no one asked about regs.
thats a bit obvious, he's worked that out.
why?? it can get its neutral from the spur.
stop confusing such a simple issue. You've already wasted 8 pages, now lets just keep it simple...because it is.
