Potato blight?

I'm afraid it is, but I'd really appreciate confirmation before I chop
the lot down. Any other harmless potato diseases that look like this?

As I recall, with blight the stems also go brown. Not sure about
those spots.
Advice from the HDRA Organic Gardens, visited last week, is to cut off
all tops to stop blight from going down to the potatoes, leave them in
the ground for a couple of weeks, then harvest. If you have removed
tops soon enough crop will be OK.
