The pots are fine - it's as @Lyn says - there's a serious lack of foliage on that one, which will affect the crop. The other one[s] might be ok as long as they produce some trusses of fruit. I always grew mine in pots or containers, and I used a container for two plants, which held about 40 litres. I also have some cherry toms in clematis pots which are quite small. They have around four trusses just now, as they were grown from a sideshoot and are therefore a bit later.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

I agree that I don't think you're going to get much from that plant. It has almost no leaves, so it has almost no energy. I used to grow them in pots outside - one 22L pot for each plant. They got in a bit of a tangle, but performed well-

Thanks. They’ve got 5 trusses forming on the healthier one. The other one with few leaves (which are also small in size) I’m not hopeful will do anything and may be a recycle of pot (especially as the weather still isn’t great!). The beef ones, are only about 2-3ft tall and have flowers so I’m hoping I’ll get something from them as they were planted about a month after. My main concern was what the leaves are presenting as I haven’t had issues with disease or nutrient deficiency in the past and haven’t done anything different this year.
I've probably still got some in a freezer somewhere @Fairygirl - along with all the chillies I freeze each year. I found some blackberries I'd picked in 2014 they other day 😁
