I've got everything working nicely again by -
- using an old backup version of gnus dated 31-08-14
- ran it and the problem still remained, so it wasn't being caused by my
  gnus file
- looked at all my setup files but couldn't see anything that would
  account for this behaviour
- looked at all ELPA updates for the past week, as it only seems to have
  occurred in that time period. And lo and behold, I have "eh-gnus"
  loaded in.
- looked at 'eh.gnus.el' but couldn't see that it was causing the
  problem, so as I wasn't using it I deleted with the emacs package
  manager.
- restarted emacs, restarted gnus, and the problem has gone away! So its
  part of the configuration of "eh-gnus" which was causing the problem,
  and deleting it cured the problem! :)

Thanks folks
Sharon.
