Thanks everyone for trying but it was too far back for me to remember more.

I'm almost certain it was on an Atari machine the more I think about it and that was at my mother-in-laws house which puts the date I played it at circa 1985-86 though my young sons C64 is still a possibility. I remember that the colours were predominantly muted, ochre yellows, slate blue, and a bit chunkier than Speccy graphics. Not bad but not pin sharp.

Single screen, plain perspective, the closest in resemblance so far is Ralfs 'Thing bounces back'

Here are Atari games searched for "single screen platformer". Check them, there's not so much of them:

Actually being chunky, mute and yellow fits 90% of Atari games graphics so it's not an extremely useful hint but it suggests that it's really Atari :)

Thankyou very much Ralf for making the effort to help me.
One or two of those Atari screens looked very similar, certainly as far as graphic style and colour goes.
I'll go through the lot more slowly in the morning, its my bedtime now!
One more lead to follow is to call my bro-in-law and ask him in case he remembers. It was his machine.
