er... no.
I should have made it clearer, sorry.
The whole screen was this dark muddy look to it. I could 'just' make out the an outline, i had just taken an image of a castle, but no more.
When i pressed the info button, even that was muddy in appearance, i could make out the outline of some icons but no more than that.

I presume that means 107 people have not had this problem and also i should not be worried.

I'd be worried. Sounds like a problem with the backlight of the LCD module.

Anyhoo... I took the first image, and whilst 'chimping' I could see nothing on the rear screen. I took a series of shots... all the same outcome.
I switched the camera off and on, still the same, it was only when I had switched it on for the 3rd time everything was back to normal.
Question is... should I be worried and has anyone else had a similar type of problem?
