If you have a cooker hood extracting to the outside, is there any need to use the expensive charcoal filters which it's supplied with; or are these (presuambly) only if it's used in 'recirculate' mode? Or am I missing something?

No, charcoal filters are for recirculate only
You should however use the grease filter to prevent everything getting gunged up, and on some models these are combined with the charcoal filter.
No.
Correct.
I'm missing a charcoal filter. I took it out and threw it away.
Our cooker hood has fine metal grills which catch an amazing amount of grease - although I don't fry much. There's no charcoal filter and I can't see the point of one in our hood.
It's important to clean the grills frequently though, I assess when by feeling them. If they're a bit sticky they're washed, it doesn't take long with hot water, washing up liquid and a brush. A quick rinse under hot water and they're back in service.
Some people have suggested putting them in the dishwasher but it's easier, for me at least, to clean them by hand.

I do them in the dishwasher. Mine were designed with that in mind, and fit perfectly in the dinnerplate slots. (I'm lazy.)

Where, pray, can I buy some, I've been looking and looking ...
We've had ours for a good few years - I don't remember where we bought it. It's a Thermador - adjustable speed, built-in halogen lights (high and low setting). It's not/wasn't the top of the line, but it works well, and is very easy to keep clean.
