don't use regular chisels on a lathe.
I assume your uk based since you used uk amazon. so I'm not much help on lathe tools that are easy to get.
these appear to be a decent set https://www.amazon.co.uk/280-5pc-HSS-Woodturning-Set/dp/B001C009YE/ref=sr_1_144?s=diy&ie=UTF8&qid=1481417416&sr=1-144&keywords=woodturning+tools
Ive at least heard of crown before. but if uh money is no object ive heard good things about the tools glenn lucas sells http://glennlucaswoodturning.com/product-category/woodturning-supplies/for-bowl-turning/
Amazon appears to sell a pretty large variety of Crown HSS tools. I started with these tools and still use many of them today, although I also have come to like the Crown Pro-PM tools. It probably makes more sense to purchase your tools a la carte, but here is a set to illustrate the tools to which I refer.

Thank you SO much for the advice!!!
do you mind if I ask some more specific questions?
I found while turning at school I had my worst catches with scrapers- any guide on how to use them/why they are useful? I have even seen pro turners (robo hippy?) catch with them.
Same question for spindle gouge- when would I use one in bowl turning?
Should I buy a spindle turning set? Or the tools separately? (https://www.amazon.com/Crown-280-HSS-Woodturning-5-Piece/dp/B001C009YE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1484711402&sr=8-3&keywords=spindle+turning+set)
If I give you price ranges could you help me pick out more specific gouges?
