Channel 4 has been forced to cut Benefits Street spin-off Immigration Street after angry protests by residents.
The planned six-episode run has been shortened in the wake of disruptions on set last week, during which locals of Southampton’s Derby Road demanded a change of title and for a preview to be sent to police.
More than 1,000 people have signed a petition againstImmigration Street, arguing that it could ignite “racially-motivated violence” and fuel prejudice with its “sensationalist broadcasting”.
