Update...
....following weasel56's advice I managed to release enough of the headliner to get at the hoses and the drains. As suspected they had both come off. So I fed them back on which was easy enough to do. Then I tested them by pouring water through the drains.
Both hoses worked fine and water drained through them and out of the bottom of the car behind the front wheel arches as expected.
However there was still a stream of water coming from the passenger side on the left (I'm in the UK). This wasnt coming from the the hose or from around the connector.
After further exploration I found that the water was now coming from a different area altogether.
The water now comes from a appears to be a sleave that partially covers the underside of a flat metal collar (about an inch and half wide) that looks like it runs around the underside of the sunroof cassette. This collar runs along the front of the sunroof (parallel with the windscreen) but where it bends to run parallel with the side of the sunroof it sort of twists down and back in to a sleeve in the rest of the sunroof mechanism.
The water appears to be leaking from between the metal frame and this sleeve. I've attached a photo (apologies for the poor focus) which I hope explains this better than my description.
So one step forwards two back. Looks like I've fixed the simpler problem but this one looks a bit trickier.
Any thoughts on a fix or am I looking at a cassette replacement...???
Thanks
