Residents of the Derby Road area in Southampton came face to face with the Love Productions crew and vented their anger about the show called Immigration Street.
The programme is billed as a follow on from Channel 4′s controversial Benefits Street which aired earlier this year and sparked a nationwide debate about welfare in Britain.
