I think you're right, it doesn't match the pictures of blight. Not sure about Septoria Leaf Spot. If it was a virus would that affect the tubers? I'll pull some out of the bag and have a look later.

looks more like symptoms of a virus to me but difficult to say from a photograph. Blight should look like th pics you can see by following this link https://www.google.com/search?q=pota...w=1455&bih=688

That looks like blight to me, but I've only seen it once. Someone else cleverer will be along shortly.

Blighted plants look yucky with fungus-like dark damp patches on stems, leaves and fruit, plants usually collapse after a day or 2
How big are those pots, they look a bit small for a large tomato plant - that may be the problem?
I've about 10 litres of home-made seaweed tea too and the actual seaweed, so might give them a feed and then some seaweed mulch on top.

Excellent. Yeah, on second look it didn't seem quite right for blight but wasn't sure if that was wishful thinking. Ta.
