Tall, taller, tallest.

I look down on him because I can.
Apparently, researchers have found, that the average man's height has increased by more than 4.3in in the 100 years since the middle of the 19th century. British men who were born in the 1870s had an average height at the age of 21 of 5ft 6in, while those born in the 1970s were 5ft 10in. It found a surge in average height in the years covering the two World Wars and the Great Depression, which experts put down to improvements in hygiene, sanitation and nutrition and improvements in medicine.
The scene above just reminded me of the famous "Class Sketch" from The Frost Report.
