Timothy West: Self - Host
Quotes
-
[Timothy is having difficulty steering an unfamiliar French boat which is much wider than the British narrowboats than he is used to]
Prunella Scales : It's really not like you to veer from shore to shore.
Timothy West : That's a favourite phrase of yours every time I do something wrong: "That's not like you". It becomes more and more like me as time goes on!

[talking about the changes that he has seen in Prunella as a result of the onset of her mild Alzheimers]
Timothy West : There are moments when she can't really quite remember what we're all doing. I just find myself... because of her occasional "unsureness" about things, it gets slightly embarrassing, and that makes one impatient because there's a kind of selfishness, really. These moments are a bit worrying, sometimes. But the thing is, they soon pass. She's a wonderful person to be with. That's why I've been with her for all this time, and she's not changed essentially, it's just that there's a bit *less* of her, I suppose.
