A Benefits Street spin-off series has been cut to 'shorter than planned'


A Benefits Street spin-off series has been shortened.


Channel 4 has cut its new TV series Immigration Street.


Six episodes were commissioned but the series will now be "shorter than initially planned".


When it announced, Channel 4 said Immigration Street would capture life on a street in Southampton transformed as a result of immigration.


But attempts to film on Southampton's Derby Road last year were met with protests.


"Because of the disruption this caused, Immigration Street will now be shorter than the initially planned six episodes," a Channel Four spokesperson told the BBC.


The second series of Benefits Street has been filmed in Kingston Road on Stockton’s Tilery Estate - and is set to hit our screens next month.
