Mark’s Marlon’s little daughter asks her Dad what winkles are and he replies that they’re sea snails.
🐌🐚🐌🐚🐌
My Dad used to sit eating them and I thought they looked and smelled revolting! I’ve never been so much as tempted and I wouldn’t eat one if you paid me. Well, perhaps one, at the right price….. 🤔💭

Rob, maybe 6ft4¼?
That puts him right between his claims. I definitely think he's a very strong 6ft4 guy at least and this mark is fair also

Well done to Mark Charnock for drawing the viewers’ attention to the tragic stroke statistics upon picking up his Soap Award tonight.
There is one stroke every five minutes in the UK alone. That is terrible. The aftermath of sufferers constitute more disabilities than anything else. I never knew that.
Mark made this inadvertent appeal, thanking those responsible for helping him during his heartfelt acting storyline. 👍🏼

What a terrible turn up for the books, Marlon Dingle having a stroke while still in relatively early middle age. Dreadful things like this DO happen in real life, 😢 and these people have my every sympathy, as do their carers.
I hope Marlon makes a full recovery.
Mark Charnock, who plays Marlon so well, gets 6ft4.5.

Mark's Marlon is behaving like a real poop face to his little daughter, who has been bullied at school. How does he cope with it? He takes it out on Bob Hope, the kid's grandfather, and guardian of the wretch who bullied the little brunette. Bob, played by Tony Audenshaw, is great with kids. I noticed this as soon as I started watching Emmerdale regularly, and to be denied access to his granddaughter is just stupid. She is in need of all the love and support she can get.
Six foot four. 😝👅😛

I honestly think that Mark has grown more handsome as he's got older. Sometimes I watch the Classic version of Emmerdale, and he comes over a little silly and awkward, though maybe 'little' is the wrong adjective to describe someone of HIS height!

Mark's character, Marlon's summing up to Zoe of the year 2020 just before the clock struck 12 midnight was perfectly apt.
Here's to seeing the smiles behind the masks, to hugging and getting closer again and to the 'big sloppy kisses' that we missed out on in 2020.
Cheers Mark! 🍻

I watched Classic Emmerdale this morning and was surprised to see a young Mark in the 90s episode. He hasn't changed much at all and I found it quite amusing!

The arguments between Mark's Marlon and Al Chapman tonight were quite something! While Marlon is getting on well with Al's son, messing around and singing, Al loses his temper with him. "All these arms flapping about - and you're TOO TALL! I'm trying to WORK!" 😆👌
It's about to get emotional, so I'll continue watching.....

Wow - at last he's out of prison! If he's a bit tetchy, it's only to be expected and he shouldn't be too hard on himself for losing his rag. It's only to be expected, given what he's been through. My one regret is that we didn't get a close up of Mark's Marlon and creepy Pierce as Mark was leaving the prison and Pierce arriving.

I've just seen Mark in 'The Chase' again and I enjoyed it just as much this time round! I refrained from checking if they'd win, but win they did - £22 each for their chosen charities! As well as Mark, on the team were Rachel Riley and Keith Duffy.
Mark was by far the tallest, all six four and a half of him!

@ Mr Screwer - Having just found out that Sandra was a backing singer for the greatly original Kate Bush, I shall refrain from bringing up anything doubtful about her. She was probably just following her script anyway!! 😉

On seeing the 5ft1 Isabel Hodgens driving a newly acquired ice cream/burger van, Mark's character Marlon comes out with "I can't work in THAT!"
I had no idea that they weren't designed for the very tall. Poor old Marlon!

All I'll have to do is watch an episode of 'Emmerdale' and make sure Marlon's wife is in it, and I'll be sure to report back!

That new wife of Marlon's needs urgent grammar lessons! I spotted three errors in a very short time indeed. 'Inspector Morse' would have worn his voice out telling her what's what. The thing that's so awful is, she's the local kids' HEADMISTRESS! 😛
I'll give her new husband 6ft4.5! Mark, also known as Marlon in 'Emmerdale', needs a comment for this year.... 😊

I am having the pleasure of watching Mark in a celebrity edition of 'The Chase', and he's not just very knowledgeable, he's as funny as I'd hoped he'd be! The Chaser in this is Anne Hegerty, and the conversation between Mark, her, and Rachel Riley is LOL crazy! There is another contestant, a pop star possibly from 'Boyzone' I think, who has made it through to the final. The trio have beaten Anne and now their chosen charities will receive the winnings! That's what it's all about!
With high heels, Rachel looks about 5-6 inches shorter than Mark!

I can see Mark at 6'4 or so, he's a bit of a beanpole. I think Emmerdale is awful these days, but I like Mark's acting. Seems like he'd make a good friend if you knew him in real life.

Saw a few pics of him and Dominic Brunt (Paddy) Brunt has tried claiming 6'1 in some articles I've seen but he's 5'10 at best. Charnock is every bit the 6'4.5, in fact when wearing shoes probably 6'5.

Rob, I have watched Emmerdale recently and Dominic looked a little taller like in the 183-184cm range next to 194cm Mark charnock, from what I saw he looked like he was wearing shoes that gave him 3 more centermeters or maybe 3.5 what do you think? (if you do watch it or if have watched it lately)

Editor Rob I just had time to have a good look at these 2 guys and from what I see he looks nearly 5 inches taller.
which made me think Mark has got to be taller and what do you know, I just found that Mark himself claims 6ft 4.5, which I'm going to put him at now.
Dominic could be anywhere between the 5ft 11 and 6ft mark.
