One example is the page [[Anthony_Hancock_Paintings_and_Sculptures:_A_Retrospective_Exhibition]] . NB Anthony Hancock is a character in the film The Rebel played by, perhaps confusingly, Tony Hancock. Knowing that Anthony Hancock is/was not a real person makes it easier to understand why this article is rubbish.
Tony Hancock WAS a real person!!! His radio comedy ranks right up there with "The Goon Show" and "Monty Python". Whether the "The Rebel" or the retrospective are accurate representations of Hancock, or parodies is quite another question. When absurdists think outside the box they also abandon the safety of keeping the box in view.
No, Pete said Anthony Hancock wasn't real and Tony Hancock was the actor who portrayed him.
