It’s so great to find out how tall this fine person and actor was.

@ Rob - A whole inch most certainly shows, and in saying that Rodney might have topped his 5ft8 during his fresh-out-of-bed day's duration, the same would obviously apply to James Bolam, with his 5ft9.

Great addition, Rob!

I grew up watching 'The Likely Lads'; I wasn't a massive fan, but there were only three channels those days, so you had to make do and be grateful if there was something remotely funny on!

Rodney seems to have been open and honest about his height, and I agree with the 5ft8, though I don't dismiss a touch taller for earlier in the day, as there wasn't much difference between Rodders and his co-star, James Bolam.

Rodney died six days short of his 80th Birthday, leaving behind four children - one daughter and three sons.

5ft8. πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘ŒπŸ“ΊπŸ‘§

I do think Bolam seemed taller than Bewes.
