Pru and me
£22.00
After first meeting over 60 years ago while filming a costume drama for the BBC, Prunella Scales and Timothy West have enjoyed a partnership like no other. From appearing together in countless productions on stage and the hit 1960s sitcom ‘Marriage Lines’, they have chalked up an almost endless list of professional triumphs, perhaps most notably for Pru is her portrayal of Sybil Fawlty in ‘Fawlty Towers’, and for Tim, the role of Bradley Hardacre in the popular comedy-drama series, ‘Brass’. They have also brought up their two sons, Samuel and Joseph, and Tim’s daughter by his first marriage, Juliet. Starting in 2014, Channel 4’s ‘Great Canal Journeys’ quickly became one of the most popular programmes on British TV. In this book, Tim traces their united steps through life professionally and personally, and covers the highs and lows of caring for Pru since her dementia diagnosis, 20 years ago.
