Simple question: Should the braid be connected to anything? The back of
the wall plate looks like a connector for the central copper wire plus a
clamp for the cable. does the braided sheathing need to be connected
through to the telly???

The clamp goes onto the braid, ie the outer sheath has to be removed.
Make sure the braid doesn't short onto the central solid wire.

No!

Strip back the outer sheath then fold the braid back over the
sheath - you may have to partially or totally unravel it -
and place both the braid AND sheath together under the clamp.

If the cable also has a copper foil screen, rather than a
bonded aluminium one, tear it off so that it can't get in the
wrong place.

The clamp performs two function, one physical and one
electrical.
