Both those would be better run as composite video, rather than UHF.

Mains cable (T&E)

Couldn't you use some sort of intelligent bus sytem, instead of hundreds of
cables? CAN, Instabus, RS-485, MicroLAN or whatever? It would be a lot
more reliable, flexible, and probably cheaper too!

You call Belden in the US, tell them what you want in your cable, and sit
down with a stiff drink before reading the price at the bottom of the quote
;-)
Most of what you need would probably fit on UTP (which is dirt cheap),
co-ax (for UHF), and twin&earth (for speakers), though you might need
some
additional boxes to run video down UTP- has Keith got anything he can
advertise at this point? ;-)
