It was in an episode of the second series of ''Is It Legal?'' that Isitt had her first and brief televisual encounter with Ben Miles, to whose character, Patrick Maitland, Sally became closely attached in ''Coupling''. Sally's interest in Patrick has been cited as that of a "size queen".
Isitt had a minor part in the film of ''The Saint'' (1997), which starred Val Kilmer (as Simon Templar) and Elisabeth Shue. In 1998 she played alongside Alan Davies in "Black Canary", an episode of the BBC TV mystery series, ''Jonathan Creek'', and as Davies' wife in a pilot episode of the BBC comedy, ''A Many Splintered Thing'' (of which a series was made in 2000, by which time Isitt had joined the cast of ''Coupling''). In the same year she appeared in Stephen Poliakoff's BBC TV drama, ''The Tribe'', with, among others, Anna Friel and Joely Richardson (a production largely overshadowed by press interest in Friel's full-frontal nudity).
Biographical details are hard to come by, though it is known that Isitt trained at the Arts Educational School. Even the author of KateIsitt.net, an accomplished website devoted to the actress, concedes that there is insufficient material available to construct a biography.
