Headfry - the stem colouring and the wrinkled skin does sound like blight to me. Just keep checking the fruits, I suggest. Try and pick them earlier than you would normally, just in case.
I have had blight on my tomatoes for about three weeks, but I have only had to remove one whole plant on which all fruits succumbed. On the rest (of the large-fruited ones) I have removed most of the leaves and any side stems showing symptoms. There's been nothing slimy or black on mine either.
I suspect, because the weather here has been dry and warm (until this week!), the spread of infection has been halted slightly and this has allowed some fruits to ripen. I am picking fruits early - once I see come colour coming - and ripening them off the plant. So far, none of these have gone on to develop blight, unlike some of those left on the remaining plants.
It is a very weird thing, blight.
