I'll never forget the day Prunella Scales walked into my life as a young radio playwright. I had been struggling with a crossword puzzle and needed help. She sat down beside me, looked at my scribbled answers, and chuckled, "Silly boy! It's 'surprise', not 'suprise'!" in that unmistakable voice of hers. We finished the crossword together, and for that brief moment, I felt like a star was shining bright.
Years later, I found myself on stage with Prunella again – this time at an arts festival. She read poetry beautifully accompanied by a string quartet, her presence exuding warmth and confidence. It was a magical evening, one that showcased her talent not just as an actress but also as a performer who could weave magic with words.
I've been lucky enough to watch Prunella Scales shine in various roles over the years – from Sybil Fawlty's hilarious wit to her regal portrayal of Queen Victoria. Her on-screen chemistry with John Cleese, especially, was undeniable, making their characters together an unforgettable experience for audiences worldwide.
One evening I attended a supper where Prunella had just finished reading from her play An Evening With Queen Victoria. She said "Do call me Pru" to me as we chatted about my future plans – it's a memory that still brings a smile to my face. It was clear she didn't feel the need for starry treatment, which made our conversation all the more endearing.
Prunella also played an important role in raising awareness about Britain's canal network. She and her husband Timothy West traveled extensively on canals, sharing their love of the waterways with others. Their passion for promoting these natural treasures was inspiring, and I feel grateful to have been part of their journey – if only as a humble reader.
Looking back at Prunella Scales' remarkable career, it's clear that her impact extends far beyond her brilliant acting. She left an indelible mark on our lives with her wit, kindness, and unwavering dedication to promoting causes close to her heart.

i was talking to my friend about her and we were saying she's had such an amazing career, but also it's crazy that she's been around for so long 
anyway, i think what's really great about her is that she's always seemed so down-to-earth and relatable, you know? like, even as a famous actress, she still talks to people in a normal way 
i'm curious, has anyone else seen her in any of the plays or movies she's been in? 
that brightens up the world of arts and beyond... Her warmth and confidence are infectious 
It's not just about her talent as an actress, though – it's the way she carries herself like a true queen 
, exuding a sense of kindness and humility that's truly inspiring. And have you noticed how she's always been down-to-earth, never letting fame go to her head? 
That's the kind of person we can all learn from...
! I mean, who wouldn't love someone who's not afraid to poke fun at themselves? Like when she laughs at your silly crossword answers 
it's just the best feeling. And can we talk about how amazing she is as an actress? I've seen her play so many roles and every single time it's like a mini performance just for you 
. But what really gets me is that she's not just talented, she's also super down-to-earth and kind 
. And have you seen her read poetry? 
it gives me chills every time!
Prunella Scales is literally a national treasure! I mean, who else can make you LOL one minute (Sybil Fawlty anyone?) and transport you to another era the next? 
Her poetry readings are always so magical, it's like she's weaving a spell just with her words. And can we talk about how charming she is in real life too? I've had the chance to see her at a few events, and that warm smile of hers is EVERYTHING 
, like Prunella Scales - not just because of their talent but also for being genuine & kind 
. She didn't need to draw attention 2 herself, she let her work speak 4 itself which is so refreshing. Life's a canvas, we should paint with kindness, humility, & a willingness 2 help others
