Not the full 5ft 11, he is noticeably shorter than Smith, it's not just half an inch

Strong feeling on Darvill fall into solid 180.5cm evening/night before bed. He can pull off 5'11 1/4 but def not his low.

Editor RobFrom seeing Darvill on other occasions, he is around 5ft 11. If he measured slightly over, it is a better chance than say a fraction under.

Rob, is it possible he would dip to strong 179cm zone? Possibly an absolute low of 5'10.75?

Editor RobAt worst he might be just under 5ft 11, but I'd class him close to 5ft 11 if measured.

I would even possibly argue 5’11.25” (181 cm). Does seem to pull it off quite nicely. The average guess seems about right in its estimate.

Editor Rob having met both, I would say they seemed within similar range, though in Arthur's case there was a noticeable footwear difference in my favour when I met him and with Franz, I think it was quite close sneakers.
I'd have given Arthur a slight edge barefoot...

Editor Rob Smith in person does look comfortably over 5ft 11, I'd put Darvill smack on 5ft 11.

Always thought he was around 6'1 as he seemed to consistently edge both Smith and Gillan. Of course the former never stands straight (I always say he stands at 178cm) and the latter is lower than first thought (I call her 177, but yeah, ballpark).
Do you reckon Smith is genuinely taller than this guy? I want to say so, though its rarely seen on screen... He looked around 178-181cm next to Routh too, though given the angle and Routh's suit it's hard to be more exact than that.
At 179.5cm I've always thought he'd edge me, and I imagine he would, but maybe by less than I thought!

Editor Rob Smith up close looks over 5ft 11 when he stands tall, Darvill I think is quite close to 5ft 11 on the nose.

without the hat he seem to edge rob only 1.5inch but with disadvantage shoe 0.4 as rob say. He could be 5'10.25 at his best really not 511. I believe in rob most listing but there is always a misjudge happen am i right?

out of bed: 181
absolute lowest: 179
so he is a solid 179 IMO
I consider myself 3cm taller than a guy in that range

Rob,he definitely doesn't look taller than Ronnie O'sullivan so no more than 178,but considering shoes he's 179.Maybe his hat is fooling.

Editor Rob remember I do have an inch sneaker and he has about 0.6 inch sneaker.
I think arthur looked near 5ft 10.5 myself (plus the difference in shoes), he looked knackered during this shoot because he sold 400 tickets and I was very near the end of the line.
