anyone got any ideas?
That configuration isn't ideal because you're 'double NAT-ing' but it should work. I'm not familiar with TalkTalk routers, but you need to be looking for a DMZ setting. DMZ will allow data on all incoming ports to pass through to your TPLink router, effectively bypassing the TalkTalk router's firewall. There should be a way to designate a DMZ device, usually by Ethernet port number or by IP.

It should be possible to get the TPLink router working directly on the ADSL/VDSL line though, with the right broadband settings, username, password, etc.
