The Daily Echo covers the broadcast of Channel 4's Immigration Street filmed in Derby Road

Thousands of people are expected to tune in to Channel 4 from 10pm to see the show's controversial take on what life is like in Derby Road, Southampton.

The Daily Echo updated this story throughout the broadcast for those who could not be near a television but who want to know what is happening.

We highlighted the themes displayed by the programme and what film-makers found during their time in the street:

• PART FOUR

Immigration Street is the number one trend on Twitter in the UK. Derby Road is also trending.

Kieran Smith is booed as he takes the floor and he is asked about whether the title will incite racism.

A shout of "We are going to run you out" comes from the crowd, who drown out much of Mr Smith's response.

Mr Smith says a number of people are very happy to be filmed.

Cllr Jacqui Rayment says the community "does not need or want" the film crew and asks them to think again over the programme.

Mr Smith calls the meeting "pointless" and says people are concerned because they cannot "control" the programme.

He says Derby Road has been transformed by immigration and asks what is wrong with the word.

One week later and public opinion does not seem to have changed.

The narrator claims the levels of intimidation have increased and that a man has been beaten up and hospitalised over the filming.

Andy is questioned as he walks down the street with a film crew and challenges those criticising him.

After more shouts from passers by a man spits on the ground in front of him.

Now we come to the violence - a gang approaches him, throwing flower and eggs while one man shouts "Andy you are dead".

And that is where we end it - with Andy going to ground as he is pelted with objects in the street.

• PART THREE

A beer-drinking local greets neighbours and says he is showing manners and respect to everyone.

The narrator claims locals who agreed to take part are being approached by local and national press.

Some say they believe the press are trying to "work things" and "portray things" to suit their own agendas.

Extra security is put in place by producers to ensure the safety of those who want to take part.

Delroy gets in an argument with another local over his participation in Immigration Street - with the other man saying "Immigration Street gives us a bad name".

One man says the film crews camera "will be in pieces in a minute".

Delroy is asked which part of Derby Road he grew up in by someone who claims they have been here 30 years - before the man shouts at the cameraman to move away from him.

The narrator says the film crew were approached and threats were made to another local who stood up for Delroy against the group who approached him earlier angry about the filming.

One of the crew warns Delroy's friend the group has threatened to "smash up his shop".

Executive producer Kieran Smith is shown defending the title of the show saying immigration is "something that should be celebrated" and is not a negative.

Daniel is struggling to pay his rent and is moving back home to stay with his family three miles away in an "affluent suburb of Southampton".

Raj says members of the community are worried about the feedback the show will cause.

Now we head to a meeting of local residents who are opposed to the show - with programme makers attending to listen to their concerns - but we cut to a break before any of the meeting is shown.

• PART TWO

Raj starts us off walking down the street, claiming it is "very rare to find an English person down here".

Now it is St George's Day and one of the locals dresses up as the legendary dragon-slayer.

We are at the Old Farmhouse where the cross of St George is draped behind the bar, along with England scarves.

One customer says he was shocked when he walked down the road and found "every single person did not speak English".

Groups of punters discuss the area and deny they are racists - "Why are we talking about racism", one says.

Landlord Barry Short says an EDL meeting did take place in the street but that "everything goes here" and that "everybody gets on".

Attention once again turns to the national press coverage - and locals ask why the show is called Immigration Street.

Mohammed "Khanjee" Khan, secretary of the Abu Bakr mosque, talks about the beauty of democracy in this country.

Clothes shop owner Nadia says it "was not a difficult task" for the original immigrants to Derby Road but it was not until more Europeans arrived that things changed.

Raj says the whole community has become so different in the past three years. He says locals "work hard and drink hard", a claim supported by Nadia.

Nuno says he moved to Derby Road with his wife and children.

He said if British people spent less time having "tea breaks" they wouldn't be scared of their "jobs being taken away by people from other countries".

The programme now focuses on local politicians including MPs Alan Whitehead and John Denham who oppose filming, while locals are shown accusing them of "causing racial hatred".

• PART ONE

We are introduced to some of the characters who live in the area - while film-makers hold nothing back over what their crews were subjected to, with threats of gunshots overheard and demands for protection money made.

Shopkeeper Rafique, one of the first to be followed by film crews, calls the area "the jungle".

He said: "It's a big mix; a melting pot -  a mish-mash of everybody".

He calls English people "very lazy" and says immigrants come in and take on the "rubbish" jobs.

"In 10/15 years down the line they are doing very well and you lot are sitting on your a***s," he said.

Then we meet Andy, who says when he first lived in the area it was "reputable".

The narrator says 86 per cent of people in Britain describe themselves as White British, but in Derby Road the figure is 17 per cent.

Meanwhile Jamaican part-time cleaner Delroy is shown preparing a squid curry dinner for his friends and neighbours, including Andy, as he does every Wednesday.

We also meet Daniel, who confesses he was a troublemaker in his youth before converting to Islam at age 17.

The programme said the transformation of Derby Road had been social and spiritual in recent years.

The focus then shifts to the national press attention the film crews are gathering, with shopkeeper Raj becoming concerned at pictures being taken.

Landlord Barry Short, who will appear in the programme, said: "I can't commend the area enough.

"I can't commend Love Productions and Channel 4 enough.

"I think it seems like it's been blown out of proportion and I think that a lot of the people that were against it don't actually live here.

"It's an area to be proud of, everyone gets on with it in their own little way."

Meanwhile our reporters are also with Cllr Satvir Kaur, Ali Beg of community group Awaaz and Newtown Residents Association chairman Pat O'Dell, pictured below.

Cllr Kaur said: "I am nervous about it, but I think it speak for everyone when I say I will be glad when it is over."

Ali Beg added: "I hope Channel Four start behaving like a responsible broadcaster and portray the community that we know."

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.

But although some residents signed up to take part, filming prompted 10 months of campaigning and protests to get the series axed.

Meanwhile film-makers claiming they were attacked with stones and eggs and received threats of violence inlcuding 'acid attacks'.

Producers blamed these '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.
