Try cleaning the tip of the wire that is near the flame nozzle...that is the heat sensor (thermocouple) which waits to get hot before it allows the gas to flow to the nozzle (safety measures) without the need for anyone to hold in the knob.If the wire is dirty or two short the gas will just stop once you release the knob.
Cookers have a flame failure safety device. Yours may be faulty.
They are designed so that if the flame goes out then the gas shuts off, but it may think there is no flame and keeps shutting off despite it being lit.
Will need an expert on this I think.

The oven has a flame detection installed that makes sure the gas turns off if the flame goes out. There are two component that do this. One is the flame detector and the other is the control device that turns the gas off,. Either one of these cold be faulty. The cheapest way is probably to replace the detector in the oven and if that does not work, replace the gas control device.
