Or an 'advance' (start the next programme early) function.

Both are possibly dealt with via the temp up/down buttons that resets
to the programmed temp at the next set point time. Have set point
times set sensibly through the day with the same temperature
associated with them if you don't actually want a change in temp at
that time.

The "advance" function is simply adjusting the temp as required.

I'm not quite sure what is meant by "extra hour", an hour extension
to the end of the current period or turn the heating "on" for an
hour. The former is handled by the +1 +2 or +3 setting and the latter
by the temp up/down and sensibly set points through the day.

This is with our TP75 of course, I have a feeling the cheaper prog
stats out there these days may well not be quite so feature rich. But
then you gets whats you pays for...
