Although from very different worlds, Kate and Koji are similar in ways which they do not recognise, including a dogged determination to never back down!

Blake Harrison and Barbara Flynn will also star in Kate & Koji, Blake plays Kate's nephew 'Medium' and Barbara plays Councillor Bone, Kate's lifelong arch enemy.

Golden Globe winner Brenda Blethyn stars as Kate, the owner of a seaside cafe who forms an unexpected and sparky friendship with Koji, an African asylum seeker, played by Jimmy Akingbola.  Although from very different worlds, they are similar in ways which they do not recognise, including a dogged determination to never back down! When the fur does start to fly, Kate's resourceful nephew 'Medium' acts as peacemaker.
