I enjoyed Craig's little stint on Countdown recently.
He was an unknown quantity to me - and it would seem that Anne Robinson was equally surprised at his ability to form impressively long words!
Well, Craig doesn't exactly play brainy sorts, so it was nice to see what he was capable of.
Then, of course, came an added bonus: he was FUNNY!
Craig gets 5ft7. 😄👌

BTW it hasn't been mentioned but he's claimed 5ft8 before so this listing is probably close.

🕯️🎁🍰🎈 Happy Birthday Craig! 🎈🍰🎁🕯️
My (very tall!) friend loved 'Red Dwarf', but I could never get into it! Still, I saw Craig enough times in 'Coronation Street' to be able to say that he's fairly short for a guy, but makes up for it with a bumper sense of humour! 😂🎂
Craig gets 5ft6.5 for his Birthday guess. 😂🎂
Have a great day, you cheeky boy! 😂🎂

[Editor Rob: I've no idea what's going on with that photo, in person Danny does edge out Craig and Chris looked about 5ft 11 and robert llewllyn when at his tallest I think was nearly 6ft. ]
He's side on,so much close to the camera,that is a old trick used by P.T Barnum to make he's giants look taller in photos,he would have the Giant Turn side on like he is looking at the shorter person or shaking he's hand,making it seem they are next to each other when in fact there can be over 3'closer to the side that the camara is hitting making him gain 3''+ in the photos.

I like your comment on my Mum's birthday to MJKOP, and guess what, just like on Jack Septiceye's page your comment and my initial response were made on dates with a lot of 7's in them!
Well I smeggin' well think that he is 5'6" based on the photo on the right. but in the one on the left I am not sure as Craig could gain height by standing up straight!!
Cheers!

He's got a really big face... you would have thought he'd be somewhere around 6'5 territory.

Pah, poo and boo! That's got to be the biggest inch I've seen in my life! Craig can't be more than 5ft6, regardless of his 'tilt'! These pictures have you sussed, mate!
5ft6 and not one penny more!
If he was 5ft7, it was in his prime, now that I can believe.

Rob, is there a chance of Big G range? At times he has quite bushy afro hair compared to a guy like G who has flat ponytail hair.

Editor Rob it's possible a little under 5ft 7, although I think up close he looked more of a 5ft 7 than big G could.
unless G has lifts in his socks, which is something not to be laughed at...after all, that is what that Guru used for one of his volunteers to trick people...

Editor Rob 10 years ago when I first seen him, I'd say no...but by today? It's not impossible a small fraction to have been lost, not seen him for several years now.

Hi, Rob but wat was his height in the 80s Red Dwarf days?
Editor Rob
Hi, Rob but wat was his height in the 80s Red Dwarf days?
Editor Rob I don't think he looked much different on the show to how he looked in person really. Maybe when in 50's he will start to look a bit less.

Once stood next to him in a champagne bar in Soho called Kettners and he wouldn't stop complaining about how crooked and criminal Londoners were after his girlfriend (who was with him) had just had her handbag snatched. A bit rich from someone coming from Liverpool I thought at the time. Anyhow 5ft7 is accurate.

Its' only a bit rich if you're ignorant and stereotypical like you.

Editor Rob I still watch red dwarf every now and again, these guys are always popular at shows. I think anytime I see him he's around 5ft 7.

I met him on the set of Robot Wars. I'd say 5'7" is about right. Philippa is a bit shorter. Maybe 5'6".
