Chris Rea is furiously claiming that his discovery that the lost city of Atlantis is in fact Redcar is being suppressed by the Deep State.

This comes after the Discovery Channel declined to make a 10 part series about it.

A representative of Discovery Channel said "It's a little known fact that we actually do have standards. We don't just televise any old batshit nonsense. Admittedly, we do set the bar pretty low, so it's exceedingly rare for us ever to decline a raving nutjob with a theory, but this is one of those rare cases."

Chris Rea is to be played by Peter Sellers in the forthcoming Rea biopic, A Turd In Time.

Sellers starring a 2025 film is only made possible by judicious use of the TURDIS.

A sequel is already in the works covering the time period where Rea used the TURDIS to go back in time to fetch Peter Seller. In this film Seller is played by Ernest Borgnine.

The third film will have Richard Harris playing Ernest Borgnine...

If Chris Rea uses the TURDIS to take a dump while parked, but with the engine running, the turds materialise in AD25 Judea.

Christ fed the 5000 with three loaves and five fish, but does anyone know how the "loaves" materialised?

Hungry disciples would even steal some of these turds, thus the origin of the phrase "pinch a loaf."

It’s a little known fact that the 90’s TV series Quantum Leap was broadly based on Chris Rea’s Turdis antics, however they did shamelessly steal Chris’ catchphrase, used every time he turns up god knows where or when, and has a first look out of the Turdis door….Oh Boy!

On April 1st each year Chris Rea is prone to materialising the turdis and stepping out naked weating only an Arnold Schwarzenegger mask and asking the first person he sees if they are Sarah Connor.

However, after the unfortunate events of 2016 when a navigation error caused him to materialise in a dogging lay by he decided he will in future at least wear sturdy underpants when pulling this stunt.

You got that wrong. The sequel was made first. Chris Rea used the Turdis to go forwards to 2058 and filmed it with an iPhone 50 but after bringing it home he had to use his high intelligence to work out a way to make the video format backwards compatible with cinema projectors and current audio-visual technology. It is this work that is being done now. Quite a task actually and so big that the prospect of that forced a lot of the last generation of tech billionaires to step back and let the new guns help Rea with this job. Look at the number of big names who have stepped back in the last 10 years!!

When Chris Rea first invented his time-travelling portaloo, he used it to visit and enjoy historical moments of musical history: Woodstock, The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show, and Black Lace performing Agadoo on TOTP (1984).

But what really touched his soul was "Listen to the Band" by The Monkeys.
One day, when feeling sorry for himself due to a really bad cold, he decided to cheer himself up by attending a Monkeys concert. It was so good he immediately went to a second, and then a third; and only then discovered that due to a miscalculation of the auberge field strength, he'd accidentally brought back the Monkeys from all three timelines, and they were wandering around Middlesbrough thinking they were in some kind of futuristic dystopian nightmare.

CR was proper peeved when his mate Terry Gilliam took the elements of (a) a virus, and (b) 12 Monkeys, and created a hit movie without giving any writing credit.
