How tall was Spike Milligan

Actually, it’s Michael Hordern and not Gambon. The film is called The Bed Sitting Room.

It’s the middle of the night and as I couldn’t sleep, I got up to watch some TV. There’s a film on Talking Pictures TV and it’s so crazy that I haven’t stopped laughing! Spike Milligan is in it, as is Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Arthur Lowe, Rita Tushingham, Harry Secombe, Frank Thornton and many more huge names. There was a scene in which Secombe was pouring a drink into (possibly Michael Gambon’s glass) and missing terribly, so they swapped and the other missed as well! I think Spike had something to do with the writing of this. It’s certainly his style.

5ft11.5, peak.

I WANT THIS FILM! 😆 It’s from 1969 and even had a burp in it! 🤭

A very cultured gentleman with a sharp wit. 5'11 seems reasonable. Seemed 3-4 inches taller than the other 2 goons.

He was asked on Irish television how long he was in the army to which he replied "5ft 11"

Possibly taller than expected. Claims 5'11" in his books too. Didn't seem to like Scottish persons v. much either.

Sound about right. Spike was once asked something along the lines of how long have you been Spike Milligan and he replied 5'11..
I think Peter Sellers was around 5'8 and Harry Secombe 5'7.
