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

This is all thanks to a specially-funded scheme displaying great cultural magnanimity towards the good people of the north of England.

As he straddles the streets of Orsdall and Weaste, in his panama hat, blazer and silk scarf, Sir Ralph's goal is to blend in with the locals and express their anger through his verse.

Written by and starring James Quinn as Sir Ralph Stanza.
