Hey there

I would like to connect my laptop to my TV, but I'm not sure what connector I need to do this.

My laptop has a S-Video and VGA port, and the TV has 2 scart and 1 aerial 'holes' (what's the name for this?!) and something else but I don't know what it's called.

Any help would be appreciated

Well if it is an older TV it may not even have S-Video. Though most TVs from 04 0n came with them on board. Honestly I'd use the S-Video. All you need to do is buy or find a -Video Cable. The S-Video port on the TV is it has one should look the same, though the one on the TV might me a different color. It is not the color you're looking for though. It is the pin count. Here is what they look like. Those are pics of one cable and how the port looks like on a TV or Device. They pretty much look the same it dose not matter where they are.

If you have any more questions feel free to pm me and I'll answer.
