Thomas Thessolonius "Tom" Farrell, played by James Dreyfus, is the gay flat mate of Linda La Hughes in Gimme Gimme Gimme. His parents are Sheila and Frank Farrell, who are swingers, and who Tom seems to ardently hate.
Tom is a constantly out of work actor, who when he does receive a part is only and extra and then ususally is cut due to the running time. He had a part in (fictional) soap opera Doctor Death, but was promptly fired after a cross dressing incident, after insulting the dead boyfriend of his ex drama college friend Bart (now a nurse in the local NHS Hospital)
Tom had a brief attempt at running his own acting school, although Linda said she didn't want "to wake up and find fifteen anoerexics chucking up in me loo", he only had one pupil, Sugar Walls, Linda's attractive, and celebrity sister.
Tom left the series after getting a job as Billy the bellboy in Crossroads.
