pinched from another web site..

 

the inner and outer parts of the thermocouple are made of 2 different metals and when heated this creates a very small dc voltage measured in millivolts this in turn energises the electro magnetic valve (normally called a junkers valve) in the gas tap 
failure of system is usually is due to 
1 tip not positioned in the hottest part of the flame (blue part)
2 loose conection at nut on to junkers valve
3 burnt out thermocouple
4 faulty junkers valve

Force 10's used to have that issue. Easy fix, take the knob off and stuff a bit of carboard inside the knob to act as a spacer. Something with age gets a bit bent out of shape inside and this is the easy fix. May not work for you BP but worth a shot.
