In 1975 he controversially praised the apartheid regime in South Africa.
In 1974 he narrowly escaped death when was driving from a stage performance in Billingham to a radio interview in Middlesbrough nearby. His route took him on the Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge which consists of a "gondola", carrying passengers and cars, suspended from rails on an overhead structure. Scott mistook this for a conventional toll bridge and accidentally drove his car through the safety gate on the approach road and off the riverbank, landing in the safety netting below.
He filmed a cameo role as a trade union official in Carry on at Your Convenience (1971) but the scene was cut from the final film. This was due to the finished film being too long and his part not vital to the story line.

In 1969 he joined up with comic actress June Whitfield in the series Happy Ever After which later evolved into Terry and June and ran for a record breaking 14 years.
