The life of a cabbie is never dull. On a Friday night in Romford, the drivers of A1 Taxis get all sorts of people in the back of their cab. This First Cut introduces us to some of these colourful characters; from a young couple on the way back from their "wedding on the cheap" to a man found lying in the middle of the road, a couple who have just met on the internet, jealous couples, reunited couples and couples who cannot wait to get home. Plus desperate young men, lonely old men and everyone else between, this film explores relationships, friendships, love and loneliness in Romford. Using a two camera, split screen technique Welcome to Romford features the simultaneous, real-time reactions of the cabbies and their passengers.
