Remember Michael Parkinson is now in his early 70's so he could have lost a couple of inches from his younger days. He could have been 6'1" in his prome

When Noel Gallagher went on his show and they stood next to each other when shaking hands they looked the same height and Noel is 5'8. I think kb's comment at the bottom is right.

I'm extremely shocked to see on your site that michael parkinson is only 5'10. I saw him tonight on (more than)Enough rope with andrew Denton who would be about 5'6 or 5'7 and parkinson was atleast 5 inches taller. Even if he was 5'10 he never looked short. Let's just say i'm 5'10 and i never looked tall

Once Mel Gibson was on his show and the subject of Mel's height came up (he's always been described as quite short) and Mel claimed he was 5'10.5" (if my memory serves me correctly) so they both stood up and they were about the same height.

Henry is either listed as 6' or 6'1''. No way is he 6'3.

[Editor Rob: well, I met Tony Adams last month and thought he was a strong 189cm, possibly close to 6ft 3. I was gonna shake his hand but he'd just been in the John...

Adams and Henry]

No way is Michael Parkinson 5 foot 10ins. I have met him and I am 5foot 8ins and he was definitely no taller than me. He's a sycophantic little Yorkie.
