Always looked 6-3 peak. Now probably 6-1 or just under.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 1/Jun/23
Tom's a classic case of hidden height. A lot of these older guys walk maybe 2in shorter than what they can possibly measure.
Barely taller than Matt Smith here
Click Here
But then in this photo still has quite a bit over Matt, Peter Davison and Colin Baker
Click Here
That's 2013 when he would have been closing in on 80. Not sure about today though. He's looking very frail in recent photos...can't find anything of him standing though
Editor Rob
He was similar range to Nathan Fillion at that 2010 event
Matt1990 said on 31/May/23
We need 6ft3 peak and current 6ft1.25 by the second photo he could be even shorter now 13years later and at 89years old
Sandy Cowell said on 21/Mar/23
If Tom has lost any height, it doesn’t notice! Some 13 years after the above photos were taken, there’s a distinct possibility that he is a bit shorter now, but he’s still getting 6ft3 from me this morning.
Darksol64 said on 29/Dec/22
Easy 6'3 peak; even with the height loss, you can tell he has the frame of a big 6'3 range guy.
Looks max 6'1 with footwear advantage if you go by his eyeline, though his head seems pretty big so he might be approaching 6'1.5 or even weak 6'2 in the pic. Hard to tell.
Sandy Cowell said on 9/Oct/22
Tom was fantastic in ‘The Mutations’, a film in which his height and strength came in very handy, as he captured young women to give them to a warped doctor, played by Donald Pleasance, sweeping them up into his arms effortlessly.
He himself was a mutant, and probably coped with his resentment by doing favours for the doctor.
Sandy Cowell said on 2/Oct/22
I’m going to have to check out ‘The Golden Voyage of Sinbad’. Tom starring is a recommendation in itself, AND it has Caroline Munro! Both will be at their peak heights, of course.
Tom gets 6ft3.
Jolapizza 6'0 1/2 said on 14/Sep/22
looks max 6'1 here considering the footwear advantage. 6'3 in his prime is believable tough
Jacqueline Baker said on 11/Jul/22
Looks Like My Nan I Mean Pat I Think He's 6 Foot He Looks It
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 9/Jul/22
He still looks very tall here!
6ft3.25 peak; now 6ft1.25.
Ian Momoshiki said on 7/Jul/22
Tom Baker was 6'3 inches in his youth
@Rampage i agree, look 6'1 here
Mickie said on 14/Jun/22
5'9" at age 8? That'd be crazy if he only grew 6" after age 8. I'm 6'3" and change and I think I was 5'9" or a fraction under it when I turned 13, and I'm quite sure that I was still less than 5 foot at age 8.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 25/Feb/22
Weak 6ft3 peak, strong 6ft1 now
Mike voorhees said on 19/Feb/22
Legit 6-3 peak.
Always looked tall on tv.
V for 1984 said on 5/Dec/21
2007 looks approx 6-2. Obviously now due to age I’d say 6-0. Peak 6-3.
Chaoscontrol. said on 4/Nov/21
“When I was eight I was already about 5’9”
Yeah I have my doubts
ChaosControl said on 3/Sep/21
Considering the footwear I’d be surprised if he’s over 6’0 in the picture
Westbound on Olympic said on 2/Sep/21
6-3 peak definitely. Now 6-0.
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 27/Jul/21
He's lost height obviously but I'm not sure he'd only measure 6ft1 now, I think he'd still clear it.
Good possibility he was a bit under 6ft3 peak
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 15/Jul/21
In the episode of Blackadder which stars Tom Baker, called 'Potato' and starring Tom as seafarer, Captain Rum, any attempt to check out his height would be fruitless, as he is legless in more ways than one!
🥃🍾😩...🚢🌊
He excites the character Nursie, played by the late Patsy Byrne, and flatters her by telling her, "You have a woman's bottom..."
Captain Rum seems to have a thing about bottoms, and the bigger they are, the more comely he finds them. It's hard to believe Tom is 87 now; I remember him playing the most comical, larger-than-life Doctor Who EVER, and I warmed to him straight away. I didn't think I would! Young as I was, I thought I'd find him a bit silly compared to Jon Pertwee, but that simply wasn't so, AND I started eating jelly babies instead of jelly bears!
The tallest version of Dr Who gets six foot three.
⭐ Could Patsy Byrne have a page please, Rob? I saw her in an Inspector Morse the other day. I've read her peak was five foot three. Thanks!
Philip550 said on 1/Jun/21
I think he shrinked an inch. More like around 6'2. Still, it's so rare to see a 6'2 grandpa. The tallest person who was in their late 70's and early 80's I ever saw was 6'0.
Incognito324 said on 21/Apr/21
His head looks giant in the above pic
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Apr/21
Pertwee for some reason gave a taller impression than Tom...
ChaosControl 6'2.5 said on 21/Dec/20
I’m struggling to see over 6’1.5 based on the photos

he'd shrunk by then at least an inch.

6'3 peak, right under 6'2 nowadays.

Definitely a legit 6-3 peak. Now 6-0ish.

Rob, surely he wasn’t 6ft3 when you met him?
Editor Rob
He was nearer 6ft 2...then the next time nearer 6ft 1.

He looks like a great big sheep. He may only be 6'1'' range today. 190.5cm peak no doubt.

Genuine 6-3 guy. Was almost always taller than the other actors apart from Cleese.
Miss Sandy Cowell said on 19/Jun/19
"YOU HAVE A WOMAN'S BOTTOM!" 🤣🤣🤣
said Captain Rum. I think of that funny line whenever I see him!
6ft3.
Sandy Cowell said on 17/Feb/19
In an episode of 'The Chase' just now, there were three options of which sweets Tom Baker's Doctor Who was always eating. One choice was liquorice, then there was one I have clean forgotten and finally, and correctly, there was the option of Jelly Babies. I can still hear him saying it now; "Would you like a Jelly Baby?" I'm pretty certain he even offered one to a Dalek!
Well, it broke the ice and made him easy to warm to! I also remember his long knitted scarf, which was another novelty trademark. One Christmas at that particular time, my Mum bought me a matching white knitted hat and scarf. The scarf came down almost as far as the ground, but then it was normal ladies size and I wasn't fully grown at all. I think I was nearly 14 and the scarf swamped me. I was frequently likened to having the same dress sense as Doctor Who!
Yup! Tom gave such an entertaining show that it never sank in just how very tall he was. I was aged 13 when he took on the role, and height aware by then to be sure, but he was the first truly comical Doctor Who that my subconscious was missing out on his height because it was otherwise engaged! 😂😂😂
Sandy Cowell said on 12/Feb/19
@ Rob - Yes, he most certainly did! He even told the Queen, "You have a woman's bottom!"
Another funny thing was he was drinking his own urine even before they reached the 'urine drinking stage', which seemed an inevitability for the great explorers, but he did so because he enjoyed it! Rather him than me, but then with prospects like that, who'd want to go exploring in the first place? 🍋
(Blackadder II, episode 3, entitled "Potato").
Sandy Cowell said on 6/Feb/19
@ Rob - Fantastic to see tall Tom receiving a slot on the 'Blackadder' page! Captain Rum indeed - and I couldn't think of more appropriate name. Well, I'd sooner drink that rum than give in to the other 'familiar-smelling beverage' that was otherwise on offer!
Editor Rob
He was a memorable character and given some funny lines from what I remember!
Sandy Cowell said on 5/Feb/19
Tom was in 'Blackadder' too! He was legless in more ways than one!
6ft3!
Angel Howell said on 23/Aug/18
For everyone commenting Re: 5'9 at 7-8yo. I was 5'2 at 8yo. Early on-set puberty (though within maternal family history) my last "growth spurt" I only added 1.75in. EVERY dr. I've seen since (GP, Internist, Allergist, ER, Pulmonologist, Orthopedist, Physical therapist, etc) has mentioned/looked askance at my ppw... EVERY one of them, gets further in pow and sets, "Oh, ok. Now I understand" or a variation, thereof.
I don't have ANY medical "conditions" nor disorders...I just matured earlier than "average", though normal for my family. BTW- my hands and feet kept growing to the size they "should have been". Had I kept growing, I would've been 5'9-5'10.
Luckily, by body is perfectly proportioned (same height from top of head to waist, as waist to bottoms of feet) so I don't look out-of-balance. Except to folks trained to notice, ie- drs, nurses,PTs, coaches, etc.
Rourke said on 5/Aug/18
Still looks like he’s about 6’2 in this picture, and he’s about 84, mad! 5’9 at the age of 8 would make him 7 foot easily, Andre the Giant was about 5’9 at 8.
Editor Rob
In that single photo with me, Tom was age 73, he had lost some height by then. I don't know what he looks like at 84, I'm sure he doesn't stand as well and probably lost at least 1-1.5 more inches.
Man in Black said on 5/Jul/18
Funny but I never thought of him being as tall as 6'3" in Doctor Who. Thinking back to his first season of Who in particular he tended to have a bit of an arch in his back he walked,a little hunched over, in that way some tall people almost try to hide their height.
Editor Rob
He could look 6ft 1-2 at times on Doctor Who, but even the second time I seen him (double shot) he was still quite tall, albeit shrunk a bit.
Bobby said on 14/May/18
5'9 at the age of 8? Is he exaggerating? Why didn't he end up over 7ft tall then?
Sandy Cowell said on 2/May/18
@ Yht - Hi! Surely, though, a boy as young as 8 at 5ft9 would have that condition: gigantism? I'm inclined to believe your comment that he was rather shorter, say 5ft3 - 5ft7!
Yht said on 1/May/18
@Sandy Cowell
People develop early but with gigantism grown taller than 7 ft but people without gigantism they grown naturally just either late or early
Sandy Cowell said on 30/Apr/18
@ Nik - That's how tall Tom reckoned he was at 8 - 5ft9! Wouldn't he have grown taller than 6ft3? I think so! He'd have to have been an exceptionally early developer! I think kids who develop that early have an unfair disadvantage. It's much better for them to grow up together!
As far as the urine drinking goes, what DON'T they get up to in 'Blackadder'? There are even reports that they've been so hard up that they had to pick the weevils out of biscuits, and I think it was the same episode! Stale, stagnant biscuits to eat and urine to drink! No wonder people didn't grow very tall in the 16th century! Mind you, it didn't apply to most of the 'Blackadder' cast! 😉
Nik said on 29/Apr/18
@ Sandy Cowell - Good evening!
An 8-year-old measuring 5'9"! I've never seen one either, it's frightening wondering what a 5'9" kid of 8 may end up as!
As for someone who drinks urine, they wouldn't get a good night kiss from me nor would I want them breathing out near me, do it through yer nose or keep away from me!
Tom seems a solid 6'3" er to me!
Sandy Cowell said on 29/Apr/18
Mind you, Tom wasn't quite so tall in 'Blackadder'!
He had no legs AND he was legless, as in drunk! But didn't he end up drinking urine?!! Didn't they all end up drinking that dubious, last-resort beverage? Yes! And they gave some to Stephen Fry at the end of the (Blackadder the Second) episode, who reckoned it tasted 'familiar'! I know I like STEPHEN, but S🚽D giving him a goodnight kiss! Yuk!
Sandy Cowell said on 29/Apr/18
An 8-year-old measuring 5ft9? I've never yet seen one of those in my entire life! 🙊
Yht said on 26/Apr/18
Legit 6'3
but 5'9 at age of eight? He probably doesn't remember well (more like 5'3-5'7)
Editor Rob
Maybe slightly exaggerated, but later in that magazine he also said he'd have liked being more average range as he could have played more types of roles.

he had even more hair in his 30's and 40's!
World Citizen said on 28/May/17
Hey Rob does celebs or other people also use terms like "a weak 5 ft 10" in real life?
Btw he looks 6 ft 1 in the picture above.
Editor Rob
Baker did shrink a bit and in Doctor Who his posture was awful.
Actually he wasn't much different when near Chaske Spencer at the event jenny and myself got a double shot with him...by then he was mid 70's, today I don't know if he is under 6ft 1, but it is likely now in 80's...I doubt he even stands for photos anymore.
On Doctor Who he had variable posture, he did one episode with Julian Glover and I think did possibly edge him a bit, so the worst I'd say was 6ft 2.5 on that show.
Christian-196.5cm (6ft5 3/8) said on 16/May/17
I would have to agree with Rampage on this one. 189-190cm max peak, not a full 6'3" (190.5)
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 2/Mar/17
Yeah he's probably somewhere in the 6ft1 range today, he's at an age where it's normal to lose a couple of inches ....but like Mike said, he's been quiet the last few years and hasn't shown up in anything. That photo is from 10 years ago, so it's more likely he was still 6ft2 then
Sandy Cowell said on 10/Jan/17
I didn't know that I was watching a 6ft3 Doctor Who when he first appeared!
I grew fond of him quickly as he introduced that bit of eccentricity to the part, what with his long scarf and his fondness for jelly babies!
He was also very funny as a 'legless' - literally and otherwise - seafarer in Blackadder II!
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 9/Dec/16
Peak: 189-190cm
Today: 186-187cm
Mike said on 18/Jul/16
This guy isn't really in anything nowadays, but looks closer to 6ft 1 now...

Rob, why did you take away the current height?
For a second I thought he had died!
Mark: said on 17/Jan/16
Tom Baker was 6'3, just half an inch of 6'4.
Craig said on 2/Dec/15
Tom was never 6'5, but he was about 6'3 at his peak in his 40's when he was on 'Doctor Who' in the 1970's. You can see that he was about the same height as Ian Cuthbertson, who was about 6'3-6'4.
Now that Tom Baker is in his 80's, he has probably lost a couple of inches. He also has a bad leg and walks with a cane now, so he sometimes stoops a bit.
Jim Hopper said on 1/Aug/15
6-3" peak imo. Now perhaps 6-1" ish.

i'm sure in his day, tom was about 6'5". i think he's lost a couple of inches since then. he was the tallest doctor, i'm sure of it. he was at least 2 inches taller than jon pertwee.
No, Tom wasn't that tall. I think Rob has it correct for his peak and current height.

Emil 182.5 cm said on 18/Aug/14
Overweight and a horrible posture these days.. 6'3.peak is more than likely

So, I guess he would be the tallest Doctor if Jon Pertwee was really half an inch under him.
Sam said on 17/Mar/14
In the underrated anthology Vault of Horror (or Tales from the Crypt 2), he looks similar or a smidge taller than Daniel Massey and Curd Jurgens, both 6'3". He also looked not much shorter than 6'5" John Philip Law in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, although I don't know if his big hair made Baker give more of a 6'4"ish look in these movies.
James B said on 16/Mar/14
6'2.5 peak

Solid 189cm peak, maybe 190cm. Not as sold on the full 6ft3.
Probably weak 6ft2 range now
Kyuss said on 30/Nov/13
yeah Id say matt was on some sorta height box because when you see full bodies on screen they use matt closer to camera giving him a boost by the angle. Toms around 6-2" or 6-1.5 now imo min.

In the dr who episode I believe matt was on a small lift platform to correct his height to be same as toms.

Steve said on 4/Jan/13
Keep in mind, in the second picture, his shoulders aren't even. He's leaning a bit, so that's going to make him look a little bit shorter than he actually is. I'd go mainly by the first picture. I'd agree he's probably about 6'3"
Trent said on 2/Nov/12
I think having a big head really contributes towards his appearance of enormity. He looks around 6'2 in those pics. His 6'3 peak is certainly possible. Maybe he was even more.
TNTinFL said on 12/Oct/12
Great pic!
And he has actually aged very well. Other than the white hair, he still looks like the charismatic Doctor Who I knew and loved back when I was a kid! :-)
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 29/Sep/12
He looks 186-187cm max in both pictures. Probably a solid 6ft2 at peak as opposed to 6ft3

James said on 11/Apr/11
Actually looking at the new pic if rob shaved his head i would agree that toms eye level looks about 1cm of over robs head so 186cm and maybe 187cm in the older photo?
to James said on 8/Apr/11
hair can make people look taller but it doesnt change the looking at the pics,i mean if we are comparing him with rob then we should look at the top of robs head not toms and where robs top ends is the defining place of toms height which means that he is really 6'2 because robs top is 1 inch lower than his eye lewel.
Matt said on 8/Apr/11
probably 6ft 1 ish
James said on 1/Mar/11
His hair in the new pic might give him the illusion of looking 6'2 though since it adds 1 inch to his height.
Anyway today 6'1
peak strong 6'2
Chameleon said on 27/Feb/11
I agree, looks about 185/186 now
James said on 22/Feb/11
In the double shot with rob appears no bigger than 6'1 (185cm) in the older pic looks 186cm or 187cm.
And juding from Mr.V's video 6'3 looked a stretch for his peak.
I think 6'2.25 (189cm) Peak
6'1 (185cm) today
Mr.V said on 7/Dec/10
Here's a clip where Tom appears next to 6'4 Iain Cuthbertson :
Click Here
Cuthbertson is usually closer to the camera but I would say he has likely a couple of inches on Tom . Just look at them from 1:46 on . Cuthbertson was listed at 6'4 by his agency and some obituaries gave him at the same height last year . I think Tom was probably closer to 6'2 but could easily look 6'3 + with his big hair .
Rampage(-_-_-)Clover said on 14/Nov/10

He has a tall head, would guess he's 6'1.5. You can't base a verdict on something like "where the top of robs heaad is compared to x", some people have bigger heads than others.

He was absolutely superb as Captain Rum on Blackadder II. Although we dont get to see how tall he is cos his character was "legless". "Rubbish,I havent touched a drop" was his reply to those who called him so.

Rob is a bit below his eyes, so that's a 5.5inch difference. Since rob is 5'8.25 then Tom is probably about 6'1.75 nowadays

If you think about it imagine rob standing straight in the pic and take away Toms 2 inch hairstlye then I'd say he would look closer to 6'1.

they used to call him The SHARK and he does look like one, he's great.
6'2.5 - 6'3 is right

6'2.5,but 6'3 possible.

When I first saw his picture on this page I immediately thought 6'2" without even looking at his height listing. 6'2" is what he looks too.

minimum 6'2"......

I would put him at 6'2" based on this photo. His large hair is giving him a slight boost and I do not see 7" between the two.

He looks 6ft 1-2 here. Maybe he isn't standing straight. I guess he could be 6ft3 if he stands straight.
Editor Rob
he's 73 in this photo, he looked near 6ft 2 nowadays. And a very very eccentric 'dazed' but 'is he really putting that on' kind of personality.

Steve says: "Had a girlfriend who smelt of chocolate, then she stopped working at the chocolate factory, so I dumped her, the silly cow!
Lovely guy."
That gave me the biggest laugh of the morning, thanks for sharing that!!

I met Tom Baker a couple of times on the way to London on the train; he is a larger than life personality. It was in the late 1980

I can't stand the latest doctor..I thought Christopher Eccleston was Brilliant, this new one is a tad Daft..I remember feeling colin didn't quite have the charm of the 4th and 5th doctors, but still enjoyed it....didn't think much of the seventh doctor..
Editor Rob
this guy is very eccentric in person, whether he's coming or going I don't know if he even knows.

I think Davison was one of best Dr who's and he predated the modern version, people now seem to want a young good-looking doctor. Not an older eccentric one.

In his autobiography he said that his years as a monk in the monastery gave him a permanent stoop (praying, being humble not standing out et.c) so perhaps he could have been taller than 6-3.

Agree with the height and I agree with Richard's assertion. Tom Baker was, hands down, the best of all the Doctor's.
Incidentally, I just heard that the SciFi channel is bringing back Doctor Who into a regular television series. If they do as good a job as they did with Battlestar Galactica, us 'Who Heads' might be in for a treat. :-)

I think he looks this height, very accurate listing.
This might be besides the point but I consider him to be the greatest Dr.Who ever.
