Chips off an Angry Block

The distinguished-but-hip London poet Sir Ralph Stanza is the new poet-in-residence for Salford.

He's determined to track down his muse, whichever chippy she works in.

Thanks to a specially funded scheme, Sir Ralph is now striding the streets, wearing a Panama hat, blazer and silk scarf.

His goal is to mix with the people of Salford and express their angst through his verse.

Written by and starring James Quinn as Sir Ralph Stanza.
