Timothy West's son Samuel reveals the actor's wife Prunella Scales - who is battling vascular dementia - is 'not well enough to take in' that he has died
The English actor passed away in his sleep last month at the age of 90 leaving behind his beloved wife, Fawlty Towers star Prunella.
It was on the set of period TV drama She Died Young - which Prunella would go on to describe as 'a terrible play' - where the pair of burgeoning actors fell for each other in 1961, and began a romantic tradition they would keep up for the rest of their lives. It was around this time that Timothy too began building his career, having already established himself on stage with the Royal Shakespeare Company playing such iconic roles as Shylock, Falstaff (accompanied by his son Samuel as Hal on tour and at the Old Vic), and Macbeth. Timothy revealed in his book that the actress had kept slipping her lines during a 2003 production of Oscar Wilde's A Woman Of No Importance at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London's West End.
