Just seen the sad news.
Very sad, though a fairly good age.
She outlived her wonderful husband who cared for her……..she was a wonderful actress.
Everybody shuffle along a bit….
“O’Reilly, I have seen more intelligent creatures than you lying around on the bottom of ponds and better organised creatures running around farmyards with their heads cut off!”
RIP Sybille.
In my family if we are cooking or shopping we can no longer simply buy basil or just say the word normally, without the Sybil impression!
Basil, do you really think, in your wildest dreams, that a girl like that could possibly be attracted to an aging, brilliantined stick insect like you?
On our travels around the canals & Rivers of the UK on our narrowboat we bumped into (not literally) Timothy West and Prunella Scales some years ago, only briefly but the pair both came across as decent people and enjoying life.
RIP Prunela. An excellent actress.
A sad loss, There aren’t many weeks go by in this house without a FT quote.
