The media's fascination with Essex continues. This Friday, Feb 4, sees a new Channel 4 documentary First Cut: Welcome to Romford, at 7.30pm. It films the drivers and passengers using A1 cabs in Romford, now famous as the home of Jessie J.
The Evening Standard writes that it will feature, "shouting, drinking, tears, arrests and rather a lot of amorous behaviour". And presumably the odd chunder after Saturday night beneath the plastic palm trees.
Director Simon Smith says: "I'm from Romford and I really like the people. In recent times Essex has been made a caricature, with everyone wanting to be celebrities. I wanted to show people being normal."
Let's hope they don't pick up Mark and Lauren/Sam/Lucy from The Only Way is Essex then...
Everyone's heard of Romford in London.
ReplyDeleteThere's also a Romford in Kent, & Dorset.
But there is no such place as Romford in Essex.
SORT IT OUT PETE!
