Series 1, Episode 2 - Tom

Tom is someone who is perpetually on the outside looking in, and that's quite a difficult thing to accomplish when you're blind!

Cast Offs. Tom (Tim Gebbels). Copyright: Eleven Film

Sardonic, dry and very funny, but so idle he has never bothered to make an effort for anything. The important factor for Tom is the constant avoidance of work. So what happens when a lazy man has to try? There are two things occupying his mind: one is Sylvia, a girl back home who is also blind, but she's tricky and very sexy. And on the island, there's a hungry fox that isn't at all sexy, but very busy killing off all the chickens. Luckily, Tom is a bit handy with a shotgun. Let's hope he gets his act in gear, but will he get the girl or the fox?
