Okay, this was actually worth reading.

Now back to the navel gazing, you pixies.  Through the door or the through
the window.

Deb:
The 6'4" figure you mention, rings a bell.  I believe in the site archives
somewhere can be found a post from Tom's ex-gf, "secretx", where she says
Tom's 6'4".

Now, as far as heights of all Television band members go, rumour has it each
member's cats &/or dogs have been quoted as remarking (translated from cat &
dog language),  "they are very, very tall!"

When I read Richard's height I also was surprised as I've also seen him in
many early photos where I thought him and Tom 'looked' similar in height.
And Leo says that Tom is 6' 3"?,  I always thought that he was 6'4".
