Editor Rob: Ok I looked again and it definitely ain't Barrymore 😎
The 2 guys beside Russ are Jeffrey Holland who says: I've only ever been 6ft and Les Dennis old partner Dustin Gee.
Oh...I see. Good spot. Barrymore was a semi-regular on the show though. I’ll have to keep an eye out for him. Still though, if that guy was 6ft which seems likely given that he’s taller than Dustin Gee who himself was a few inches taller than Les Dennis...Russ still has a good 2-3in on them.

Editor Rob: I wasn't sure who the 2 other actors were at 15 minutes.
Michael’s the one on the far left with the red wig and grey suit. Not sure if Russ was wearing boots though. 6ft4-5 is crazy (in that Superman sketch looks it though!) but I think in his prime Russ had a better chance of measuring 6ft2 and change rather than almost 6ft2. Watching the Russ Abott Show and Madhouse you’ll notice he’s always bent over but still towers over everyone. He’s probably closer to 6ft1 today although I haven’t seen much of him to really gauge his current height.
This photo in 2010 of him with Prince Harry is the closest I got. He has the camera advantage but I reckon he’d still be an inch taller if the angle favoured both

Rob, if you go to around the 15 minute mark, you’ll see that Russ is visibly taller than Michael Barrymore

6ft4 is ridiculous but I think he had a better chance of measuring a bit over 6ft2 than under peak. His postures never good though

At least 6ft2 peak

Russ was 6ft peak..... 5ft 11 these days.

I don't think that mark is impossible for his peak.
6ft4-5 range is definitely a joke though!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Nov/17
Rob how likely is 189cm peak?
Editor Rob
didn't really look more than 5 inches taller than Les Dennis, I wouldn't have went above 6ft 2 for Russ.

I could see an argument for 189-190cm but I have no idea where 194cm came from! Never looked that tall ever

Could've been 6ft2½ peak

I knew he'd be tall, but hey, he's a celebrity and they tend to squeeze a couple of inches out of a magician's top hat whenever their height statistic is asked! So 6ft4 - which is what I read myself Rampage - is normally a healthy 6ft2!
Peak for Russ - 6ft2 - OK, and a half! (added on a bit later)
Currently - 6ft1

He's been listed 6ft4½ before…
Editor Rob
seems a bit of an exaggeration.
