whilst i know blight affects spuds and toms ,my question is does it
kill anythi ng else , like courghettes?

I don't know about kill, but Phytophora infestans infects a fair number
of solanaceous plants, including peppers and eggplants.

Potato blight only affects potatoes and tomatoes, but it is just one
plant disease. I have just pulled up all my tomato plants today,
having already removed the tops of potatoes. Once it strikes it
spreads very quickly.
Does nobody know the answer to my question as to what spray is used by
commercial growers?
