Rob, can you add his LAST OF THE SUMMER WINE co-star, Bill Owen?
5’4” minimum, could look near 5’5” at times with Sallis but his wellies would have helped.

Rob, I found this quote from 2014, from Last of the Summer Wine actress, Jean Alexander:
“I have got osteoporosis and I have lost four inches in height. I used to be 5ft 4in, now I’m just 5ft. But this is what happens.”

Rob, what height would you put Bill Owen at? 5’4”?
Sallis did strike me as around 2 inches taller than Owen on Last of the Summer Wine in the early 1970s. Plus, Owen wore wellies on that show.

Editor Rob5ft 4-4.5 maybe. I used to watch the show more-so in the 80's.

Rob, could we please have a Last of the Summer Wine tag?
Along with Sallis, Frank Thornton, Brian Murphy, Burt Kwouk, Louis Emerick, Russ Abbot, Norman Wisdom and Julie T. Wallace could be included.

Solid 5’6” peak. He was of a similar height to Jacqueline Bisset in heels, in Who is Killing The Great Chefs of Europe?

Editor RobNot as sure, but over 6ft is likely of course.

Editor RobIn the 70's he had himself listed 6ft 1 in the Spotlight directory. When acting with Sallis and Bill Owen still looked a tall guy.

Rob, how tall would you say Robert Fyfe is?
In Last of the Summer Wine, Fyfe looked about Sallis’ height, maybe a bit shorter.

Editor RobI'm not sure I agree with it, but I can at least state that Robert used to have himself listed in the 80's as being 5ft 7.5

I would go along with a flat 5’6” for Sallis, at peak. In Taste the Blood of Dracula, Sallis is approximately one inch shorter than Geoffrey Keen (who I think was a solid 5’7”). In an episode of The Persuaders!, Sallis doesn’t look much shorter than 5’9” listed Tony Curtis! In early episodes of Last of the Summer Wine, Sallis looks roughly two inches taller than 5’4” listed Bill Owen.

He'd actually be in the 5 ft 5 and a half range. But he was a good man.
