The Best Page is a Rampage

Sir Ralph joins the list of writers finding themselves under the oppressive jackboot of the law.

It's sparked by discovering that a skateboard he forked out for was stolen.

A run-in gets the poet-in-residence's creative juices flowing.

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.
