On a Saturday night more than 12,000 people can grace Prince of Wales Road, Norwich's nightlife hotspot. With door staff, a taxi marshal and a waiting area for up to 50 customers, Courtesy Taxis is a go-to place for the legions of revellers heading home when the pubs and clubs close their doors.
Up All Night looks inside this post-party haven, revealing what it's like to wrangle the riotous, deal with the delightful and help the homeward-bound in Norwich's city centre.
Owner Mark Streeter moved the firm to Prince of Wales Road in 2009 to create somewhere safe and warm where people could wait for their taxi home. Up to 1000 people each night come through controller Linzi and telephonist Sam's doors, some of them more sober and better behaved than others.
The firm has 57 cars and drivers, including Carlton, who has 18 years' experience, and Emma, the firm's only female driver.
Chauffeuring the wild and wonderful of Norfolk, the drivers encounter banter, abuse and the odd striptease.
