Sounds like mildew. Often caused by dryness at the roots. Use a systemic fungicide. Collect up and burn the fallen leaves.

If you've no fungicide handy, dilute 1 part milk to 9 parts water in a sprayer and spray the whole plant, tops and backs of leaves and stems, till run off.

Full cream milk by the way.

Thanks both for the advice I will try the milk straight away this evening. Hopefully this will do the trick.
