s-video cable should do the trick assuming your lappy has an s-video port.

Need a scart with an s-vid conection on it aswell.

cost me €5 for the lead and works grand.

it depends what connections you have on your laptop, but normally you can.
s-video is a pretty std laptop connection and you can buy s-video to composite cables which will plug into your TV. 10-20 euro, maybe cheaper.
Generally only good for video though, txt is not great.
