Goofs:

• The Skateboarder in “Spray” was a real skater who had entered the scene backwards.

• During the Tate Modern interview Alex Barrington’s make up was checked by on set make up artist but she failed to replace his eyebrow. This was found later on Michael’s shoe.

• All of it was an inspirational parody production

Facts:

• Alexander’s real name is unknown, but she is also unaware of this.

• Alexander’s real age is also unknown, although she has been seen marching at 1970s peace rallies in London, Paris, Yarevan and Berlin.

• Alexanders “Spray” youth art project has seen the rise of up and coming artists Banksy, Jim Carey and The Mist. She continues to inspire people everywhere.

• During Stealing Tate, Michael refused to discuss her beginnings with the Icelandic fishing events which saw her rescued by one of her captors after which they disappeared, details are unknown after, but her captor/ saviour was last seen on New York’s Broadway Circuit as Donkey from Shrek.

• When Michael Chindales Translator said “Hamburger” this was code for “I understand the complexities of the physical environment in relation to a modern happy childhood” but this was a past that Michael struggles with after the cancellation of The Moomins. Moomin Papa liked Hamburgers.

• To date, nobody has seen or heard of Art Biker Monthly.

• Before filming took place Alex Barrington forgot his wallet in the office and did not buy the film team coffee and cake as promised.

• The Microphone during “Stealing Tate” failed to operate, the entire recording was lost and dubbed post production. Some or all of the interview may not have been said.
