David Burke, who plays Watson in the first series of Sherlock Holmes by Granada Television, does not seem like he is more than 5'10'', judging by the proportion of his body, and Jeremy Brett is never more than two inches taller. I would say Brett is about six feet even. The other Watson, Ed Hardwicke, is much shorter, giving Brett a very tall appearance in the later series.
