Joanne Froggatt

Joanne Froggatt as Kate
Kate is practical and skilled. Since a child she has helped her mother run their family pottery business in Loxley. She'll always speak her mind, which often gets her into trouble. She's impulsive and impassioned, very much a 'do now, think later' kind of girl.

Gordon Kennedy

Gordon Kennedy as Little John
Strong, instinctive, practical, resolute, Little John is powerful in battle and knowledgeable about survival in the forest. John has a more simplistic morality than Robin: see a problem, sort it out.
