HEALTH chiefs have slammed the filming of a controversial documentary TV series in Southampton over fears for the health of vulnerable residents.
GPs have condemned Channel 4’s Immigration Street, which will focus on the lives of people living in Derby Road, and said it would “cynically exploit” the vulnerability of some residents and tear apart a “harmonious, diverse and thriving” community.
As reported by the Daily Echo, plans were first revealed in April this year to film a sequel to the hit series Benefits Street – which prompted criticism for how it portrayed people on benefits – and producers were focusing on Southampton.
