[talking about her husband, Timothy West]

Prunella Scales:
This journey to the town of Llangollen is very personal to us. Fifty years ago we spent our honeymoon there, and in the year of our golden wedding anniversary, I can't help thinking about those early days of our courtship when we were both young actors. I met Tim... We were in a terrible, terrible play called "She Died Young". We had a sort of mild, Times-crossword flirtation during the rehearsals, and he said "Would you like to come to the pictures?" I said "Yeah, love to." And we went to the pictures and went our separate ways home. And eventually he and I started going out together, as it were, and then we got married and we've had two smashing kids. He never bores me. When he talks about things, it's always interesting or entertaining. I don't know - we just fit somehow.
