Four residents of James Turner Street - dubbed Benefits Street after the Channel 4 programme - have appeared in court on drugs charges.
Samora Roberts, known as Black Dee, and her neighbours Tina Thomas, Charlene Wilson and Ian Wright were not required to enter pleas during a hearing at Birmingham Magistrates' Court.

Ms Wilson, 29, faces charges of conspiracy to supply crack cocaine and cannabis, and possession of diamorphine.
Mr Wright, 38, is alleged to have conspired with others to supply both crack cocaine and cannabis.
