How tall is John Challis
John Challis's height is 6 ft 1 in (185 cm)

UK Actor famous for playing Boycie on tv comedy Only Fools and Horses, and The Green Green Grass. On his agency resume he is listed 6ft 1.
These photos were taken at Collectormania, May 2011 (by Daniella). Roger had about 0.3 inch less footwear than me/john, although I believe John is slightly taller.


5ft 8 Rob, Ejel and John Chalis, Patrick Murray and Roger Lloyds Pack.

Comments on their height
Ejel Khan says on 3/Dec/11
Physics, Rob is a very modest and a nice man! I've met him, and he's taller than me. I've been measured throughout the day, but haven't lost any considerable height. For that reason I'll remain a boastful 5'8"!
Physics Enemy says on 1/Dec/11
Out of bed height doesn't count on here Ejel, it has to be afternoon height, so very close/at your low. 5' 7.25"/171 cm should be your listing. Rob is 5' 9" out of bed, he's modest.
Ejel Khan says on 5/Nov/11
I've been caught out! Rob, please downgrade me to 5'8".
Physics Enemy says on 29/Oct/11
You have nearly 1 cm on 5' 9" guys though Dean, like Rob on 5' 8" guys. You have to bare in mind height surveys are typically conducted early in the day and most people get measured within a couple hours of wake-up usually. I don't agree that evening height is real height, it's just a compressed version.
Physics Enemy says on 29/Oct/11
To be fair Dean, Rob is pretty much bang on 5' 8.25" at lunchtime, as long as he's had a good night's sleep. His low after 12 hours is still 1mm more than 5' 8 & 1/8th" usually. Heck, I've seen a youtube vid of Rob being 5' 8.25" even at 8-9pm. Rob's a 5' 8.25" guy and I honestly wouldn't have a problem if he stated 5' 8.5" as his height, because he hits 5' 9" out of bed with 9 hours sleep. Ejel is clearly 0.75" or so shorter and a full inch isn't out of the question. If Ejel had less footwear than Rob as he claims, I'll give Ejel 5' 7.75" tops. Ejel is clearly under 5' 8" though.
Physics Enemy says on 29/Oct/11
Rob's posture is a fraction worse than Ejel's and Ejel is still clearly shorter (once you knock off the hair). Ejel is 5' 7.5". I'm basing this on Rob being 5' 8.25" as well (not the 5' 8" he modestly gives himself). There's 0.75" difference between Ejel and Rob. Even up to 1" is possible. Rob is virtually level with Patrick but would be level if straightened. Ejel's in military mode and is noteably shorter than Patrick. 5' 7.5" it is, no more.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 4/Jul/11
6ft0.5 now I reckon....
truth says on 15/Jun/11
meh looks like a 5ft11 guy to me.
James says on 14/Jun/11
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 13/Jun/11
Well he looks over 6th in the pics James

Nope 182cm next too rob
runt says on 14/Jun/11
Glennistically speaking, Ejel looks 5-8
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 13/Jun/11
Well he looks over 6th in the pics James
James says on 11/Jun/11
LOL Rampage - Roger is no higher than 6ft
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 8/Jun/11
I estimate from these pics, Challis to be 184cm and Roger to be 186cm
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 8/Jun/11
Looks 5ft11.5-6ft with that slouch.
Dean 5ft 9.25 says on 8/Jun/11
haha ejel is 5'7 or 5'7.5 rob..your a legit 5'8 he is never even your height let alone taller HAHAHA!
Guy in the middle Id say is 175-176cm next to LEGIT 173cm rob or solid 178cm next to cough 174 ejel.

rob is a solid 5'8 just because hes a legit 5'8 dont mean hes taller than real 5'8s. a legit 172.72(5'8)at night wouldnt look noticably different to 173cm lowest at night rob. granted rob is a strong 5'8 1/8(hes equivelent at 5'8 to me at 5'9 as im 175.5 2.5mm over or so like rob is over flat 5'8 but im not taller than most 5'9s)
Its because most guys who claim 5'8 are 171 range guys rounding up and most guys who claim 5'9 are in the 173-174 range.
James says on 8/Jun/11
maybe 6'1 for Lyndhurst
linke says on 5/Jun/11
Absolutely no idea about who they are,how tall is the guy in middle,i'm guessing 177 cms.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 3/Jun/11
Lyndurst just looked really tall because David Jason was so short. But 6ft2 is possible
Cranberries says on 3/Jun/11
If Ejel is 5'8.5", why does he look half an inch shorter than you in this picture? I don't think he makes a great reference, but thanks for the picture nonetheless. I think Ejel looks 5'8" max, yet it says he's 5'9" some places.
James says on 3/Jun/11
john might have been either 186cm or 187cm peak
James says on 3/Jun/11
Lyndhurst MIGHT 6'1 cause he was eye to eye the same height as John Challis in one episode of only fools and horses. probably looks 6'2 cause he is skinny and lanky.

then again though its very likely if john is still 184cm at age 68 that he might have been over 6'1 in his 20's.

So maybe
Today 6'0.5 (184cm)
Peak 6'1.5 (187cm)
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 2/Jun/11
I think 6ft2 peak and 6ft1 now
miko says on 2/Jun/11
Rob do you think Lyndhurst was a full 6"2?

[Editor Rob: it's been so long since I watched it, if I get around to seeing a few eps I will see how lyndhurst looks against the others.]
Ejel Khan says on 1/Jun/11
In response to: ggh says on 1/Jun/11
Lyndhurst is on record claiming 6'2", and he's always stuck to it.
ggh says on 1/Jun/11
Damn, if he really did peak at 6'1, Nicholas Lyndhurst must have been only 6 foot even. That would explain why Jim Broadbent, always listed at 6'1.5, always looked taller than him.
Real Truth says on 1/Jun/11
A lot of guys BS about their height. No big deal, half the guys on here who say they are 6'3" are probably nearer 5'3".
Ejel Khan says on 1/Jun/11
OK ... I probably exaggerated my height. I've never actually been 5'9", but closer to 5.8.5",and rounded it up! Now, I'm in the 5'8" range. I've been suffering back problems, due to sporting injuries and have bad posture. So 5'8" is closer to the truth. Rob probably does have that 1/8 of an inch edge on me. C'mon ... we all BS time to time, don't we? My loafers had a heel of approximately 0.75cm.

[Editor Rob: I read about a girl recently who claimed to lose 1.5 inches of height after a bad back accident!]
miko says on 1/Jun/11
So Roger is about 6"0 and John still close to 6"1 Rob?

[Editor Rob: I would say so, because Roger looked to have nearly a 1/3rd inch less footwear than me he did look 6ft, so could be 6ft 0.5 now.]
James says on 1/Jun/11
Yeah i think still close to 6ft so.......

5'11.75 (182cm) today
6'1 (185cm)

3cm height loss if fairly normal at the age of 68.

[Editor Rob: but John - to me anyway - really did seem to edge Roger out, contrary to how tall Roger appears in those photos!]
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover says on 1/Jun/11
Looks 182-183cm
Ejel Khan says on 1/Jun/11
In response to: Real Truth says on 1/Jun/11
Rob was wearing air max trainers, and I was wearing loafers with slim heals. Rob is a strong 5'8", and I'm not 5'9", but was close to it. Due to back problems my height is in the 5'8" I admit.

[Editor Rob:
I remember at last year's Collectormania I wore converse but ended up having to send Jenny to Asda as I could barely walk by the Monday.

At this year's I'm in Silver Arraws, which 4 years on from buying them, are just about 1.1 inch.]
the shredder says on 1/Jun/11
Rob , how tall did Ejel LOOK to you ?
Real Truth says on 1/Jun/11
sorry Ejel but Truthman is right. I read Rob's reply to Ka on his homepage and the fact he didn't directly answer leads me to the conclusion which these photos also suggest: I don't believe you are 5'8.5". You are saying that Rob is shorter than you in person, if that is the Real Truth, then where's the photo of both of you together?

[Editor Rob: Jenny had my camera and wasn't around when we met.]
the shredder says on 1/Jun/11
Rob , you are one tall looking 5'8 guy ... Meaning that guys 5'8 don't come off as tall as you even if roughly the same ... I bet some stranger asked how tall you are and you said 5'9 they buy it . even though you are a strong 5'8 ... You just come off bigger .
miko says on 31/May/11
Cool pics. Both men always seemed 6"1 range to me.

Do you think Challis may have been a solid 6"1.5 in the past Rob?

[Editor Rob: I think roger actually looked a guy with better posture than challis, maybe challis has lost height for sure now.]
Ejel Khan says on 31/May/11
I totally agree with your comments. Thinking back your observations are right on. I need to be more perceptive, and not get too starry eyed!
Truthman says on 31/May/11
I don't believe Ejel is 5'8.5 because he is for sure shorter than Rob
James says on 31/May/11
looks 182cm these days

rob is the guy on the far right with the grey hair 6'2?

[Editor Rob: he looked about the same height as Alex from NY does in person, although he had about 0.3 inch less footwear than me.]
Mamun says on 31/May/11
Hey King ROB , did you and Mr. Khan meet up ? Are these pictures from the same event and day ?

Regards

SUPERMUN

[Editor Rob: yes 2 days ago, but only briefly]
® says on 31/May/11
Ejel are you 5'8.5.I thought you were listed at 5'9 with weathers.
Ejel Khan says on 30/May/11
Took a pic with the John Challis, Roger Pack and Patrick Murray of Only Fools -AKA - Boyce, Trigger & Mickey. John appeared 4" taller than me, Roger - 4.5", and Mickey 2". John is listed as 6'1", but has claimed 6'2 & 3" in the past. Roger has claimed up to 6'3" in the past, also. Patrick is listed as 5'11", and appeared that height opposite Lyndhurst, who's 6'2". Roger in my picture came closer to the camera and appears taller than John, but is in fact the same height. I'm 5'8.5", so you do the maths guys!

[Editor Rob:
My own thought was - Challis looked taller than Roger, although roger had probably about 0.3 inch less footwear.

To be fair, Challis in that photoshoot in nearly every pic I saw being taken ahead of mein front of me had a poorer stance than Roger did, who I thought stood better than I thought he would...]
