Soap fans will soon be able to check out and see how well Colin has maintained his height over the years because he's due to take up a role in 'Emmerdale'.
With so many actors of varying heights included in each Soapy cast, we can through the regular viewing and, often inadvertently, learning off by heart these hard-working stars' heights, seeing an actor in a Soap opera enables us to - sooner or later - make the most unbeatable guesses.
For the meantime, Colin gets 6ft0.25.
I look forward to his debut!

Editor RobI think in peak years within 1/4 inch, it could be argued davidson was slightly over 6ft.

I never saw him as Doctor Who, but judging from the picture here, he looks no more than 5ft11 at most, but I'll add half an inch on, as I have read some of the comments below.
Colin looks friendly and jovial, and with a pretend beard and a red suit, he would make a lovely Father Christmas!
(It's Easter Saturday, so I must have festivities on my mind!)

Editor Rob I was thinking I might get him again as he's now age 70, I'll see, I guess he still does some acting.

He could well be down to barely 5'11 flat looking at recent Dr Who photos.

Editor Rob today yes probably nearer 5ft 11, over last few years looks to have lost a bit of height.

The heavier guys tend to look shorter than they really are.
I can believe 6ft (or near it at least) but he's way more than 17st.
Over 20st for sure. Looked massive on I'm A Celebrity

Peak height 6'0", a current height of 5'11.5" is probably more accurate.

Did he? Mmm I think he's being rather modest, if you saw him at the beginning in the jungle his belly was grossly huge. I'm usually pretty good with weights and I think he looked more 21-22 stone. Actually in height and appearance from a distance he reminded me of Harold Bishop in the jungle, and he's what. 5'11.5" maybe?

Rob, I think nearer 22 stone would be accurate for his 2012 weight when he went in the jungle. Might be 20 currently after losing some weight but his belly is massive.

Editor Rob I only saw a few clips of the show, but he is pretty big. He said early november he was 20 stone.
I don't think he's quite a 6 footer today.

Looked 6 ft on I'm a Celebrity but 17 stone today is a joke. This man was nearer 22 stone when he went in the jungle.

6ft in height maybe but very heavily built. He wasn't like this when he played Doctor Who. He was quite athletic if my memory isn't fooling me.
