  Professor Chronotis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professor Chronotis was played by Denis Carey in the unaired 1980 version of Shada, and by James Fox in the webcast remake, which was also released as an audio play on CD by Big Finish.
Chronotis - or "Reg" as he is known — holds the post of Regius Professor of Chronology at Cambridge University.
Here Chronotis is so old and forgetful that he has no idea who or what he originally was, though he has vague memories of Cleopatra (who he claims wore outrageous earrings and reeked of cat food).

 Professor Chronotis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Professor (Reg) Chronotis is a fictional character created by Douglas Adams.
His Chair of Chronology was created by mad king George III who was terrified that if time were to start flowing backwards, all the bad experiences of his life might reoccur.
In both versions, Chronotis is a clandestine time-traveller, whose time machine (or TARDIS in the lingo of Doctor Who) is disguised as his College rooms.
