We're Suri, oh so Suri
TOMKAT! Tom and Katie: A Showbiz Marriage, Five, 9.00pm
Well, the title of this one's already out of date, since Tom has recently declared that his significant other should be known as Kate, since apparently "Katie" is not appropriate for a woman of childbearing age. And once again, the world's saner people were united in sending a unanimous "WTF?" in the general direction of Mr Tom Cruise.
We're still not quite recovered from the trauma that was the axing of Footballers' Wives, but we're attempting to soldier on for you lovely people. Obviously, when we saw this one in the listings, we just couldn't resist - there's something compelling and yet utterly gross about the whole TomKat phenomenon. The best part is that we're clearly only midway through the whole thing, since surely before long someone will have to stage an intervention and rescue Katie - sorry, "Kate" - from this bizarre dead-eyed smiling robotic existence that she's ended up in. Seriously, back in the days of Dawson's Creek, would you really have predicted this to happen around the same time that Michelle Williams was on the Oscar shortlist? We didn't see it coming, and we're professional (cough) showbiz commentators.
There's probably not going to be an awful lot in this doco that's new, on the grounds that nobody still seems any the wiser as to what's really going on in that relationship, and we doubt that Tom (and Katie, if she has anything to add) has deigned to enlighten the producers of this show at all. But if you fancy a rerun of the crazy "jumping on Oprah's couch" incident, or any of the other terrifying moments of despair that have typified the whirlwind TomKat romance, this is where you should be looking. We'll be hiding behind a cushion. Not one of Oprah's, either.
