David can be seen playing an impressive and authoritative astrologer to the Queen in Elizabeth - The Golden Age.
I’ve never seen him playing such a classy role before!
6ft0.25. 🔭

I could see 6ft range for him he looked pretty tall on Shameless.
Rob, How tall would you guess Elliott Tittensor?

Taller than I thought...

@ Rob - Ah, I see! I've never even heard of the one you mention! If he's anywhere near as funny as he is in 'Shameless', he would cheer a whole borstal or prison up! Yes, he could go to prison for some of the naughty things he gets up to in 'Shameless', and then brew his own beer while inside, a bit like they did in 'Porridge'! Yes, I can see him doing that!
Have you met him, Rob?

I've never seen him.

@ Rob - I watched and checked out the cast of 'Scum' with my boyfriend yesterday, who was at least as curious as I was about David being in it, and it turned out that he wasn't! We checked all the credits at the end as well, so unless he was a little whippersnapper 'extra', or there is another film with the title, then he wasn't in it after all!

it was the earlier BBC teleplay I believe. Yeah he ain't in the 1979 film.

For the first time this weekend, I have had the opportunity to watch a few episodes of 'Shameless' - and Threlfall is a greasy-haired piece of hilarity!
I did notice that he was on the tall side, so just over 6ft makes sense! I'll go with 6ft0.25!
Now I have a little job on my hands, and that is finding out who he played in the film 'Scum'! I've just read that he was in it on this very page, and it is really getting to me that I can't think which part he played!

Still close to 6ft today, so maybe 184 range at peak. Good listing.

I saw him on Shameless a while back and noticed he was tall range, I'd thought about 6'1. Nice addition.
