How did he get into the Tardis??? Hugh 191cm says on 28/Oct/09
Not 6ft3 these days. Probably somewhere between 6ft1 and 6ft2. Candyman says on 11/Oct/09
Hes taller than 6'1 cause of his massive and long head. His shoulders give the appearance of a 6'1" guy but thats not a consistent indicator of height. David says on 3/Oct/09
I met him in Norwich one time, I'm only 5ft 3'' he towered over me. Very pleasant man, a little accentric but lovely guy. Anonymous says on 22/Sep/09

A little over 6ft2 nowadays. RICHARD says on 5/Jul/09
He looks like Ryan O'Neal,only Tom aged better.LOL Phil says on 4/Jul/09
He was absolutely superb as Captain Rum on Blackadder II. Although we dont get to see how tall he is cos his character was "legless". "Rubbish,I havent touched a drop" was his reply to those who called him so. Hugh 190cm says on 1/Jul/09

I see about a bit over 6" on Rob so might be close to 6'3" but in this picture he is more like 6'2.625"/6'2.75". Huge head though. Hugh 190cm says on 26/May/09

Anyone seen an underground horror movie called "Vault Of Horror"? Baker was in that movie and looked tall. 6-3 is on the money, I`d say. Pretty good film also! Yaspaa says on 4/Jul/08
6'2.5,but 6'3 possible. sf says on 3/Jul/08
6'3" and that damn scarf still dragged the ground... Realme2008 says on 2/Jul/08
When I first saw his picture on this page I immediately thought 6'2" without even looking at his height listing. 6'2" is what he looks too. maximus says on 2/Jul/08
minimum 6'2"...... Josh says on 1/Jul/08
6'2!!! Atoadaso says on 30/Jun/08
I would put him at 6'2" based on this photo. His large hair is giving him a slight boost and I do not see 7" between the two. runt says on 30/Jun/08
i don't quite see 7" D-Lurker says on 26/May/08
Steve says: "Had a girlfriend who smelt of chocolate, then she stopped working at the chocolate factory, so I dumped her, the silly cow!
Lovely guy."
That gave me the biggest laugh of the morning, thanks for sharing that!!

I met Tom Baker a couple of times on the way to London on the train; he is a larger than life personality. It was in the late 1980’s but I would have said he was taller the 6ft 3”.
I was on my way to college and he was saying to anyone who was around.
"Had a girlfriend who smelt of chocolate, then she stopped working at the chocolate factory, so I dumped her, the silly cow!"
Lovely guy.

[Editor Rob: he's lost height in 2007, not 6ft 3 nowadays.] D-lurker says on 22/Jan/08
I can't stand the latest doctor..I thought Christopher Eccleston was Brilliant, this new one is a tad Daft..I remember feeling colin didn't quite have the charm of the 4th and 5th doctors, but still enjoyed it....didn't think much of the seventh doctor..
[Editor Rob: this guy is very eccentric in person, whether he's coming or going I don't know if he even knows.] Ted says on 11/Dec/07
I think Davison was one of best Dr who's and he predated the modern version, people now seem to want a young good-looking doctor. Not an older eccentric one. Bill says on 4/Jan/07
In his autobiography he said that his years as a monk in the monastery gave him a permanent stoop (praying, being humble not standing out et.c) so perhaps he could have been taller than 6-3. Editor Rob says on 30/Nov/06
Seen him recently and in his latter years still pretty tall guy.
Actually feel a bit sorry for the other 1984-6 doctor, his namesake, Colin Baker. Whilst Tom had loads of folk getting his auto (he was after all one of the best), Colin sits there twiddling his thumbs...
Speaking of Who, in uk still pulls in decent numbers, like 8 million viewers. TNTinCA says on 27/Feb/06
Agree with the height and I agree with Richard's assertion. Tom Baker was, hands down, the best of all the Doctor's.
Incidentally, I just heard that the SciFi channel is bringing back Doctor Who into a regular television series. If they do as good a job as they did with Battlestar Galactica, us 'Who Heads' might be in for a treat. :-) CelebHeights Editor says on 20/Feb/06
1982 Eye of Horus interview: "I'm six foot three" Richard says on 16/Feb/06
I think he looks this height, very accurate listing.
This might be besides the point but I consider him to be the greatest Dr.Who ever. |
