Because of the colors you have I am guessing you are located in the UK.

If so, then:

IEC color codes for the UK are now:
blue=neutral
Brown= Live

Therefore, at the junction of photocell and light wiring,
connect all blues together,
connect the live brown of the house cable to the brown of the photocell, leaving the red of the PC to connect to the brown of the light.
