RIP Prunella Scales

Sad news especially for Sam West whose now lost both parents.

Oh no, I hadn't heard the news.

Such a talented couple.

RIP Prunella Scales

She had dementia, poor lady, I loved the series with her and Timothy on the canals/waterways.

RIP 💐

She was also brilliant as the iconic Sybil Fawlty!

Although sad my first thought was she is reunited with her beloved husband. It is sad for Sam and his siblings that they have lost both parents but hopefully they can take comfort as my Mum did when she lost her parents, my grandparents 6 months apart that they weren't separated for long and that they had happy and long lives into their 90s.

I liked Prunella Scales in After Henry as well as Fawlty Towers.
RIP Prunella 💐

RIP , thank you

RIP Prunella. Absolutely loved her in Faulty Towers. The Canal series were wonderful as well.

Fawlty!

Oh I hadn't seen that, I am soory to hear that, I loved her in Fawlty Towers.

Yes a lovely lady. After Henry was also a favourite fradio programme of mine, I never saw the TV production. Prunella Scales with the formidable mother, Joan Sanderson were a perfect partnership. I occasionally hear it repeated on Radio 4 extra.

I have a neighbour who always says ‘Oh I know’ with Sybil’s exact intonation which always makes me smile.

Anyone else remember her in Hobsons Choice.
Early work. As one of the silly daughters.
The film with Charles Laughton.

Sad news, RIP!

Also was in ‘The Marriage Lines’ back in the 60’s, playing the wife to Richard Briers.

RIP.

You beat me to it welbeck! It was my first thought then as I continued to scroll down I saw your post!
An excellent film. A classic. I watched it again only a few months ago!

John Mills, Brenda de Banzie. Wonderful entertainment!

Such sad news. Great actress. Reunited with her beloved Timothy.

RIP Prunella.

BASIL !!!!!

R.I.P. Prunella - you were so good in Fawlty Towers ….

RIP prunella and thank you

I loved their canal series. We saw them once in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford drinking tea and reading the papers.

RIP Prue

So sad, she was fabulous in so many roles. RIP Prunella.

An unusual marriage between such remarkable actors inasmuch as it went the distance. Neither Timothy or Prunella will be forgotten for a very long time.
Thoughts are with their children and other loved ones who have been saying goodbye to Pru for a very long time.
