Tom Archer

Played by Tom Graham

Tom Archer
  • Born: 25 Feb 1981
  • Status: Engaged to Brenda Tucker
  • Occupation: Meat products entreprenuer

Tom's good looks and enterprising nature haven't always worked in his favour.

He's made some disastrous decisions over the years, one of the more memorable ones being to get romantically involved with ruthless supermarket buyer Tamsin. She dumped both him and his sausages with indecent haste, causing the loss of his dignity and almost his business.

Bailed out by Brian Aldridge he soldiered on, crying on the shoulder of Brenda Tucker. She proved not only to be a devoted girlfriend but also an asset to his business, promoting his Gourmet Grills van and coming up with some nifty marketing schemes.

After a brief blip they became engaged in 2009, the same year that Tom took his pig business back under the family wing at Bridge Farm.
