For people who have been to recent Enid Blyton days...
Is it an optical illusion in the photographs, or is Marcus Harris about six foot five?

I don't think he's that tall, Jamie Uk, but he is an extremely lovely man and has a great smile!

Probably not something I'd notice myself.
Re: For people who have been to recent Enid Blyton days...
An interesting question! I spoke to Marcus at the 2010 Blyton Day, he seemed to be slightly taller than my own height 5' 9". A very nice person indeed, as were the other 70's series cast members present that day.Jamie wrote:Is it an optical illusion in the photographs, or is Marcus Harris about six foot five?

Well, I guess I'll have to compare him to my own height to be sure. Maybe in the pictures and that newscast he was just with very short people.Petermax wrote:An interesting question!

TV/film personalities are always physically very different in real life than they are on screen.

He was sitting down when I draped myself besides him.

True, but then, metaphorically speaking, many of us look up to you, dear Julie! (Where's the "creeping" smilie?)

It's a bad picture of me, but this might give you more an idea of Marcus Harris' height. I'm about 5"6 and a Half. I don't think he was bending down.

"So my Mother told me that when I was two years old!" said Julian and the others giggled.

I remember that picture being taken, Stef. You're right, he wasn't bending down, but he was sat on a chair!
