British British Comedy Comedy Sitcom

Kate (Brenda Blethyn) is a somewhat prickly, working-class woman who runs an old-fashioned café in neglected coastal resort Seagate. She soon develops a strong but volatile friendship with regular customer Koji (Jimmy Akingbola). After grilling him on why he doesn't spend any money, he reveals that he doesn't work; although he is a doctor, he is also an asylum-seeker. After word gets out, Koji becomes the unofficial general practitioner and holds "surgery" in the café, ranking up custom for Kate, who offers him free food to keep the scheme going.
