I'm after a website which gives realtime or daily 3D or equivalent
representations of the sun and where the planets are.
ie I know that Saturn and Venus were visible this evening, but would
like to get my head around exactly where they, and the Earth, were in
relation to each other

Not a website, but theres a program for Microsoft called homeplanet that
you can download from http://www.fourmilab.ch/homeplanet/ which is free.
It will give you what you want. Plus the distribution licence is so
enlightened that you can use the output in any way you choose.
