ITV’s new comedy series Kate & Koji (formerly known as Kate And Kolo) will premiere on Wednesday March 18th at 8pm.
Kate & Koji follows Kate, the owner of a seaside cafe who forms an unexpected and sparky friendship with Koji, an African asylum seeker. 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.
The six episode comedy series, which was created by Guy Jenkin and Andy Hamilton, stars Brenda Blethyn (Vera), Jimmy Akingbola (In The Long Run), Blake Harrison (A Very English Scandal) and Barbara Flynn (Death In Paradise).
Meera Syal (Goodness Gracious Me) guest stars.

As a big fan of Brenda, I will definitely watch this.

Saw the trailer the other night. IF Brenda Blethyn is in it I 'll give it a go.

I wasn't sure if I'd like this, but found it funny and definitely worth continuing with.

Hmmm...... I thought the script was a bit predictable and laboured. It was written by Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin (Outnumbered) so I was disappointed as I expected it to be sharper and wittier. Still, it's early days so I'm hoping it will pick up. I have to say though, every time Brenda Blethyn spoke I could only hear Vera with a different accent!

Sometimes predictable is funny too. I am an oldie so much would be anyway but for younger viewers it would be a richer experience..... only wish I could watch with young grandsons who curl up when they discover "Only Fool..." and such. Well we enjoyed it and BB's talent - tho canned laughter I could do without. And I need anything I can get to laugh at these days

A bit of an old style comedy, very good actors, to the most brilliant script, but anything for a bit of a laugh in the current climate..

It was head and shoulders above any other sitcom that's debuted in recent years. (And amazingly it's on ITV). It will be interesting where they can take it over a series.

I really enjoyed it, and I absolutely detest Outnumbered. I’ll continue with this. My type of comedy.

Must admit to be enjoying this - or rather chunks of it. Trying very hard not to end sentences with a preposition to keep my marriage going. So what do others think?... About the show, not my marriage.

I gave up last week, tried again this, and found it awful. Utterly laugh free. I won't be back, but happy for those who like it.
