English actor, best remembered for playing Kerr Avon on BBC Sci-Fi series BLAKES 7. In the Spotlight casting directory, he had himself listed at a height of
5 feet 11 inches.

Yes, 5ft10 for Paul's height today makes sense. I think he could have topped that in his younger days.

It's quite commonplace for quizzes to have questions about 'Blakes 7', so it would seem that I'm not the only old fart who remembers it! 😉
My whole family would watch it, including my Mum. Avon (Paul here) was my favourite 😍 and my Mum had the hots for the late Gareth Thomas, as did most of the girls in my class! 😋
Mr Darrow gets 5ft10. 😄👍

How amazing is that? Paul had his last comment exactly a year ago today! 😃 In his 'Blake's Seven' days, he might well have been 5ft11.
I'd like to give him 5ft10.
🌝👍🌞👍🚀

In this picture, he seems like more 5 ft 9 3/4 in (177.2cm) than 5 ft 10 in (177.8 cm). I'm 5 ft 9 7/8 in (177.5 cm) on barefoot, so I give him at 5 ft 9 3/4 in (177.2 cm)

Yes, absolutely Rob! Gareth Thomas will be sadly missed.

'Blake's 7 had large cult following, including me when I was at school and missing my homework in order to see it!
Paul Darrow was actually my favourite character in it. It's nice to see Paul popping up in soaps and other TV programmes. He's often seen in a Courtroom as a judge or something influential, n'est ce pas?

I've not watched the show since I was a kid, although I do regret not getting a photo with Gareth Thomas.
