Stanley Baxter's Height
5ft 9 ½ (176.5 cm)
Scottish actor, comedian, author best known for The Stanley Baxter Show and films The Fast Lady, Crooks Anonymous and Father Came Too!
In the spotlight directory, he used to list himself
"Height 5 feet 10½ inches"
Glaswegians are intensely interested in the physical aspects of their fellow citizens.
Any male approaching Six Feet in height has 'big' before his name as in Big Hughie and Big Wullie.
A female of five feet is 'wee' as in Wee Samantha and Wee Polly.
These descriptions are bestowed with a certain affection. The Glaswegian reserves more picturesque words for those who meet with his or her disapproval.

Enough names for a Stanley tag, Rob?

Would need 1 more Stanley added.

Baxter came across as 5'9.25" in Very Important Person but 5'9.75" in Father Came Too and a solid 5'9.5" in Crooks Anonymous and The Fast Lady.
5'9.5" is a perfect listing for Baxter; no one could really argue with it.

Extremely close to my height of 5’10”, only trailing me by a mere half an inch at peak.

I think that he might height wise be somewhere between 5’9.5 and 5’10.
I am not certain of how tall he is, although I can predict that he is 177 cm or 177.5 cm…..

Oh fantastic! I believe this acting veteran of 96 is returning to our screens this Christmas, which should be interesting to say the least. I remember him in the latter part of the 60s and after, of course.
5ft9.5, and a big WELCOME! 😊
