Yould could try Towelroot but not sure if that'll work on the S3 or not.

Great,thanks for that. Is it easy enough to do?Is there any tips or things I should/should not do while rooting the S3?

Backup EVERYTHING first. And once you get the drivers installed on your pc if you go that road you are good to go.

I presume installing from PC is the best/easiest way to go?
Also is Samsung Kies best way to back up all my stuff?I'm not a fan of it, its way too slow.And I've quite a few videos/clips/files I want to back up.

Don't bother with Kies. Best and easiest way is to use something like Dropbox or google drive.
