Watched OF&H this afternoon. Episode where Del's arch enemy - Slater (Jim Broadbent, listed 6'2")- organises school reunion at the Nags. Rare opportunity to have all main cast standing together in a small area. I put the characters in this descending height order from those scenes. Slater easily tallest, Rodney just shading Boycie who just had it over Trigger, all couple of inches taller than Denzil and the ensemble towering over the wonderful but diminutive Del! There are a lot of very tall cast members for a show set in urban London given their age group, but that adds to the comic effect for me, especially Rodney and Del as brothers!
Incidentally some of you probably already know that Jim Broadbent was the early favourite to play Del and the BBC considered David Jason a bit of a risk, it certainly would have been a very different dynamic and , even though Jim is a great actor in both comic and straight parts, you can't help feeling that OF&H would not have been so enduring if the BBC had had their way!

Watching OF&H, Lyndhurst looks ~8 taller than David Jason so 6'1" range is probable for him.

Yaspaa says on 22/Dec/11
6'1 looks more likely, and Jason was never 5'6...ever.

I've watched every Only Fools and Horses episode, and Lyndurst was certainly not taller than John Challis or Roger Lloyd Pack.

From the episodes I've seen Lloyd Pack looked a solid 6'2, Challis a hair shorter at maybe 6'1.5 and Lyndhurst maybe a hair over 6'1.

Really, just 6ft1? I took him for a 6ft2-6ft3 guy at least

Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 19/Dec/11
Rob, how tall would Nicholas 'Rodney' Lyndhurst be?

Shaun (the real one) says on 25/Oct/11
That's OK Rob, I know i'd never said any of those things. I think Jason was 5'6" peak. Weak 5'5" now.

Shaun (the real one) says on 24/Oct/11
I don't even have a brother!! And I'm not "slim" build either. And I've never measured anywhere near a legit 6'3" out of bed LOL. I barely hit 6'2" out of bed! Rob, Just don't want your thinking I'm some retarded fraud like the Shaun posting here.

Shaun (the real one) says on 24/Oct/11
Rob just so you know the Shaun who posted here with ridiculous comments is NOT me, your regular who posts on the height challenges and popular pages. I would NEVER claim to be anything more than 6'1.5" midday and have NEVER claimed to be taller. This clown here is just using the same name. I think the February and March posts were from me and then some **** **** took my name.

thorterr says on 23/Jun/11

thorterr says on 28/May/11
shaun please we know your 4ft 8 and would always want to be 6ft 1 ,im 6ft 2 so will be looking down on you anyway

Lurkio says on 27/May/11
People want David Jason to be taller as they like to look up to there idols and would love rodney to actually be 6ft2 or 6ft 3 as it would make Jason look taller than he actually is.
Me and my brother both met nicholas lyndhurst a few years back, i am 6ft and my brother 6ft1... And Lyndhurst was the same height as my brother, have photos to prove.
My brother was wearing trainers and Nic was wearing brown shoes.. about 1 and a half inch heels.
so would say he is 6ft1 max, due to him being skinny and frail looking he looks taller.
Look at only fools and horses and you will see that david jason is the shortest adult character in the show..
There is a photo with him standing exactly the same height as Karen David who is listed at 5ft1 and a half, she is wearing high heels, no more than 4 inches high... that makes jason 5ft5 and a half..

Lyndhurst is closer to 6'1 I reckon, Jason never more than 5'4 - 5'5 range.
Shaun, didn't you say that you are 6'1?

thorterr says on 24/May/11
boycie,trigger and del boy is listed on celebheights why not rodney,,can we have a petition on celebheights to get him listed? please vote ,his height is very debatable

thorterr says on 13/Mar/11
rob can you put nicholas lyndhurst(hes famous enough) in your listing ,im saying hes just an inch shorter than jim broadbent

ali says on 11/Feb/11
in a 1983 episode of only fools and horses you can see that jim broadbent is clearly taller than nicholas lyndhurst by 1 or 2 inches. so either jim broadbent is over 6'2 or nicholas lyndhurst is under 6'2.

I have heard David Jason was 5ft6 years ago and when watching a touch of frost i was thinking, man 5ft6 guys look short dont they? I assumed he was 5ft6 cos i heard it. But im not suprised if he is a bit less than that and as short as 5ft5. When watching Frost i thought he was about 5ft5 but i could be wrong of course.
Bruce lee was 5ft7.5 and i was thinking he looks more than an inch taller than him, if David is 5ft 6 in frost.

Mr 5ft10.25 says on 28/Dec/10
there was always a very noticeable height difference between David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst (6ft) on OFAH.
