THE fallout is just beginning after life in a Southampton community was the focus of a national documentary.

Immigration Street portrayed some strong community spirit in Derby Road but the apparant shadow of violence was also present - although there was little proof.

Threats of gunshots were shown as were demands for £200,000 protection money for the crew's safety - with violence the focus of the beginning and end of the broadcast.

Film-makers also claimed threats were made against both crew and participants and that one resident was hospitalised after being attacked for defending Jamaican cleaner, Delroy.

Hampshire Police last night asked Channel 4 whether the crew want to lodge any complaints over the treatment they received.

Superintendent James Fulton said: "Having now had the opportunity to view the documentary 'Immigration Street', we have again asked Channel 4 whether the production crew wish to pursue any of the complaints made in the film and whether they will give us their footage which will enable us to fully examine all available evidence.

Daily Echo:

"We await its response. In the meantime we will be reviewing the programme again, considering any potential offences. 

"We continue to focus on ensuring all members of our community are safeguarded and that no one is left vulnerable as a result of this programme."

The broadcast took the nation by storm, with Immigration Street the number one trending topic in the UK on Twitter whiel Derby Road also cracked the top 10.

Thousands of people tuned in to watch - while some gathered in homes in St Mary's to watch together to see what they made of how Derby Road was portrayed.

Cllr Satvir Kaur was among those who gathered with friends to watch it -sitting down with Newtown Residents Association chairman Pat O'Dell and Ali Beg of community group Awaaz, all below.

Derby Road was picked by Love Productions as a follow up to last year's Benefits Street for its community of diverse cultures and backgrounds.

Filming prompted 10 months of campaigning and protests to get the series axed.

Producers blamed 'criminal gangs' as the reason they scrapped plans for a six-part series and decided to show a one-hour special tonight.

Community leaders, MPs and representatives from authorities city wide have been united in attempts to thwart the programme amid fears it will heighten tensions and spark trouble in a normally peaceful neighbourhood.
