Tom Davis "I drank and thought 'this is life, you've got to drag yourself through'"

Growing up in a poor area of South East London, Tom's life seemed written on the wall. He was a scaffolder, labourer and was used to hard graft and long hours. But he dreamed of something different. To his friends amusement, he wanted to break out of life on the building site and start a career on stage. Yet, it seems Tom had the last laugh. From humble beginnings he started appearing on TV and onstage as a comedian, eventually becoming the leading role, DI Sleet in BBC three comedy 'Murder In Sucessville'. Tom explains to Tame how his formative years, his parents relationship and now his relationship have made this possible for him and the tough road he's had to walk to get there.
