I had no idea that Christopher starred in Doctor Who! I remember The Young Ones only too well though, and Chris appeared in Bottom as well. Bottom indeed……! 😂😂😂
When Bottom won an award, the producer said he and his friends would like to thank everybody from the heart of their Bottom! 🍑👍🏼

For a man standing 5 ft 1 his head size and spacing of features on his face look exactly like a man several inches taller. Usually you can see something on a very short mans face that would indicate he is of short stature but not Christopher

5ft was my height at 8. I was noticeably taller than my 4ft 10 teacher and my shoesize was already a UK 6/ 38 cont, same as my father. Of coourse I was the tallest boy in my class, by about nine inches or even more. My brother too was 12 and he was at least one inch shorter.

He comes up to your teeth, but if you stood fully straight, he'd come up to below your mouth (which is over 8"). Imo, he's barely a flat 5'0" and most likely just under.

It's interesting being around extremely short people like this because it gives you a perception of what it would feel like to be extremely tall. Rob could take the feeling of 'tallness' he experienced around this guy... in a sense, he can see what it would feel like to be 6'5''.
There's a girl I work with who's like 4'6''... so I feel like 7'4'' in a way.

There are a lot of Central Americans where I live, and the average among them is 5'4 or 5'5. I see a lot of men 5'2, 5'3, and some of the shorter ones are probably this height. However, the younger generations of Central Americans that were born, or mostly raised here are average American height, or slightly shorter.

5 feet to 5 ft 1 seems reasonable for him judging by the photo, so the 5 foot and half an inch listing is bang on. Never knew he was so tiny when I saw him on telly though, I always thought he was 5ft 4 or something. Just shows that good proportions and manly characteristics will give the illusion that a man is taller than he really is. And Rob, didn't you reach your adult height of 5ft 8 when you were just 14? ;)

well in statistics I was told that a result of +3 or -3 standard deviations away from the mean is a strange or abnormal result/outlyer where +-1 standard deviation covers 68% of scores around the mean, +-2 95% of scors around the mean and +-3 covering 99.7% of scores.

If he is in the bottom 0.03 percentile, is he still classed as "normal"? Some people I've seen on this site say that 5 5 is the first normal height for a male because it is at the 5% margin on the charts (shorter than 95% of all guys). However, some people may define 'normal' when it covers 95% of all people, others may for example use 98%. Maybe being barely a 1/2 inch over 5 ft. is just his normal?

Wow, he's shorter than me! (I'm 5'3") It's hard to see exactly how much shorter he is than the other Young Ones, except when they were all lined up, as in the "Living Doll" clip on YouTube. I was guessing none of the others were much more than 6 ft tall, and Chris hardly comes up to Rik's shoulder.
Height shouldn't be a problem for a comedian -- look at Danny de Vito.

Prooperoo I have to agree with you, his characters such as Dave Hedgehog in Bottom and Mike in The Young Ones wouldnt be the same if he was about 5'10. I always thought he was taller than just 5 foot, perhaps 5'3 but maybe he is just 5'0

Still, his height perfectly suits the characters he plays. Especially as a Sontaran in Doctor Who.
(and who put down Mike's last name as "CoolOne"? It's "TheCoolPerson"!)
