Emma Freud interrogates James Cartwright, who plays Harrison Burns, at the BBC Contains Strong Language festival in Salford. After the break-up of an Ambridge power couple, Emma finds out whether the audience are Team Fallon or Team Harrison. Poet Helen Mort discusses Ambridge's newest arrival, and reads out some of your poetic offerings. And Professor of Sociolinguistics Rob Drummond explores accents in Ambridge. How does Harrison's accent define his character? What makes Amber sound like an influencer? And what accent might her baby have in future?
