Due to his misuse of the TURDIS, Chris tried to get the lead of Jack Ford on 'When the boat comes in', this went to James Bolam, of course due to his more accurate authentic Geordie Lad accent, .this of course so enraged Wor' Chris that he vowed never to watch anything that James Bolam has acted in since, such is his bitterness,.
He has even gone so far as to trash every Postie bike, by materialising his mystic portorloo on top of , mashing them to bits ,on account of James Bolams' portrayal of the 'Missing Postman' a role he coverted so much,as he thought he had just the right amount of pathos for the role, this is why the GPO stopped using postie bikes,as Chris trashed so many

In the opening titles of 70s hard-man drama, The Professionals, the clip of a Ford Granada bursting through a plate glass window is actually Chris Rea's TURDIS in cloaking mode.

Rea was a big fan of 70's tough guy TV drama and was thrilled to bits to be a tiny part of the show.

Not only that, but in series 3 he had a bit part as "dark skinned bad guy terrorist type #4" in the episode Dark Skinned Bad Guy Terrorist Types Conspire to do Something Bad.

Chris Rea was a favourite presenter on beloved children's TV show "Play School", although to avoid affecting his burgeoning music career he always used the pseudonym "Humpty". The series ended under a cloud following allegations of improper conduct between Humpty and fellow star, Hamble.

Scholars believe the famous Play School clock and journeys through various shaped "windows" were inspired by the operation of Chris Rea's time machine.

Did Rea get done for illegally bringing immigrants... Things as they are at the moment, it's an offence to bring someone as a stowaway,regardless if you knew or not.

Chris Rea was telling his mates in the Rolling Stones about the Turdis, and all the things he's seen through history, of course Mick Jagger and the rest of the band thought he was telling porkies, so Chris got in the Turdis and went back to 1967 & to prove it taking a copy of Hackney Diamonds with him, he told them all about seeing Jesus on the cross, the German Blitzkrieg, watching what happened to Tzar Nicholas II, and the Hundred Years Wars, as well as all the Hippies going to Bombay, This of course blew the bands mind, Chris told them that the heat in the Turdis makes him go bright red. and with his goatee he looks like Lucifer, this inspired the song Sympathy for The Devil, that appeared on the 1968 album Beggars Banquet
