Well done, Brian, for acting so quickly and saving the life of
young Nina. π
Twin Asha, the girlfriend of Nina, was so impressed that she now wants to become a paramedic, bless her.
Peter Gunn gets 5ft11.5.

He often appears to be around the 5β10β mark, maybe thatβs because of his posture!

Peter starred with David Jason in 'House Calls', an episode of 'A Touch of Frost', which has been shown on our TVs twice recently. He played a mentally challenged 40-year-old. What a contrast to the part he plays in 'Coronation Street', as a headmaster.
He literally towered over David Jason!
5ft11.25.

While still on the subject of Peter's weight-loss, I see no reason why he shouldn't take part in the nude charity calendar, or at least add his picture as the photographer.
If the Coronation Street cast really did make such a calendar, I'd buy it! Shortly after my last comment was written, there was an advert regarding children with cancer. It's such a cruel disease for anybody, but for children, it's just not fair. Ditto in the case of anybody, and the sooner a cure is found, the better.
Come on then, Corrie Cast! Nude calendars raising funds for good causes is a great idea!

I'm sure Peter is slimmer than he used to be, so well done to him for the successful weight loss! It suits him!
5ft11.5. πππππππ

There's no need to treat Mary (Patti Clare) like that you great big lummox! π She's nice and she's funny, which is more than can be said for you! π

@ Christian 6'5 3/8" - How tall do you think Peter is?
khaled taban said on 12/Dec/19
181cm at his peak
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 11/Dec/19
@ Nik - A touch under 6ft, say half-an-inch.

@Sandy
Many people might think that calcium is the most important nutrient in maintaining height, but you may be right. If the muscles become weak, then the bones follow.

Heβs a tricky one. I think his posture varies at times, he does look as listed with those much shorter cast members in that linked photo. I could perhaps buy 5β11.5 as a peak height given his age.
Nik Ashton said on 7/Dec/19
@ Sandy Cowell - What do you think is his nowadays height?
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 7/Dec/19
Mind you, I don't think there's the possibility that he has starved himself.
πππβπππβοΈ
Seriously, that DOES help prevent height loss, especially if your choice of foods is the high protein variety.
Brian starred in one of the first ever 'A Touch of Frost' episodes. He played a fellow with learning difficulties. Little did we know that a few years later, Peter would be playing a head teacher in 'Coronation Street'!
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 5/Dec/19
@ Nik and CD - I think he was in his younger days. He's nearly 57 now so could well have lost some height.
GUK said on 4/Dec/19
He could well be 5ft 11.5. He looks around seven inches taller than the Chesney actor Sam Aston who you have listed as 5ft 5.25

6ft I think is too high, but 5ft 11 flat I am not so sure, 5ft 11.25 or 11.5 was my thought on him.
Nik Ashton said on 4/Dec/19
@ CD - Yes, he could easily be around the 5β11β (180 cm) mark, he doesnβt give me the impression of being nearly 6β0β either!
CD said on 3/Dec/19
Five eleven flat I think is closer, compared to someone like Alan Halsall from Corrie who is 5ft 6, he doesnβt give the impression of being almost 6ft.
Animus said on 2/Dec/19
Probably heavier than 98kg in that picture. Around 105kg seems a bit more likely.
Nik Ashton said on 2/Dec/19
Itβs great that Peter has been given his well deserved page but I have got to say I expected him to be a little bit under 5β11.5β!
