Well for a start i'd remove the manky leaves!! Make sure you don't water on the leaves as it can rot them....and is there any chance of a photo of the leaves...might be easier to say what's wrong then.

It looks like magnesium deficency to me. It can occur in tomatoes grown on sandy or acid soils, or where high-potassium feeds have been over-applied. In severe cases premature defoliation can occur, but mild cases are unlikely to affect yield or quality. It is easily treated by spraying with Epsom Salts. Dissolve ½ oz in a pint of water (20g/litre) and spray each day for a week.
