I must confess I was a little startled when I met Timbo & Grae - I was about 6'1" in heels (nowhere near as high as the lovely livvy mules he wore in Saturday Night Grease) but while I towered over aTim I just grazed Graeboots - such nice lads - I always thought that behind the fuzzy chops and heavy rimmed glasses there beat the heart of a real.......loony scientist with a uniform fixation - loved him in the joddies and jackboots in Radio Goodies - corrrrrrrrrrr! - whey hey! - earls were made to love and kiss!  - go one son - one up!

Dobbin : ' I'd agree with Lisa that G is 5ft 10in, as when I was a besotted teenager I asked him his height in a letter, and that was his reply. Maybe before he had his hip done last year, he was stooping a bit.

I find that indescribably cute.  Both that you asked him, but also that he answered. 
I'm pleased to find that I'm a whole inch taller than Bill.  I don't think I've ever been taller than a boy before, so this is a new feeling.

Well I thought as Graeme has the world's longest legs he should be at LEAST six feet tall.....  hmm, evidently not.

Never mind, it'll make him easier to Graeme-nap if he's not that tall...

((For those of you not too familiar with the Graeme-napping plan orchestrated by urban_spacegirl and myself - well, mainly myself, I AM the brains of the outfit after all!! - a complete story on The Plan can be found on the Tim thread.  Dunno why or how it's there but anyway!!!))

Yeh, even after 10 years of short jokes and several "who said that?/down here" routines, I was expecting all three lads to be on the tall side.  I have this strange fixed notion that all actors/performers must be tall.

I'm taller than Bill!!!!  That's terribly exciting coz it's unusual for me to be taller than somebody...

QueenofKnerds : ' Never mind the whitling stick... ...What about the SHORTS!?

Those shorts are not to be talked about in polite company.  That episode deserved an 18 certificate on its own - just for the shorts!!!!

I'm amazed Graeme and Tim are so wee!!  I kinda feel even more maternal about Tim now's I know he's shorter than me!!!!

jodievdw : ' Whitling stick?  Whitling and whitling with a mind of its own?  Strangely uncontrollable?  Nah, it's just you, Spev.  Nowt rude there.

Never mind the whitling stick...

...What about the SHORTS!?



A scout is clean of mind and clean of mouth...no wonder I was never a scout.

I must admit I was wearing heels at the time - not REALLY high - but I was able to see over Grae's head & I almost toppled due to a terminal case of Jelly Knees- however I was impressed by his silky, satiny voice (still) and managed to blurt out a request for an autopgraph on my Goodies DVD's - I have a confession *gulp*- I always thought that Bill was quite cute as well - and I've always had a soft spot for Timbo - oh OK!! I'll fess up - I had the swoons for the whole 3 of em! - I'm also partial to Eric Idle (call me 'Kinda Kinky') especially when he had longer hair!!! (Celtic Kindy, County Cutie and Kinda Kinky)

ekkythump61 : ' I had a wish come true when I finally met both Graham and Timbo in Oz last year - Gra' still has the same lovely dulcid tones - though I was quite surprised that he was alot shorter than me - and I'm 5'10!!

ekky, are you sure you didn't mean that Tim was shorter than you?  Because I'm about 5'8" and I know Graeme is taller than me.  I thought Graeme was about 5'10" and Tim about 5'8" (I believe Bill's said he's about 5'4").

Eroomnaillig : ' Wash your minds out with soap!

No can do!  To quote one of my favourite ISIHAC moments:

Humph: Complete the quote.  Cleanliness is next to...
Graeme: Impossible!
