Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The heartwarming, first-hand account of one of the most celebrated partnerships in the history of British entertainment, the 60-year marriage of TImothy West and Prunella Scales.
This moving and memorable audiobook is read by Timothy West and also features Prunella Scales reading the letters she has written to Tim over the course of their marriage.
Timothy West and Prunella Scales are – first and foremost – actors. Over seventy years they have delighted millions, portraying a host of larger-than-life characters that the nation has taken into their hearts.
But their finest roles, it turns out, have always been as husband and wife – in the extraordinary and enduring double act that is Tim and Pru.
In Pru & Me, Timothy West charts the course of their lives, from the years before they met – treading the boards in the 50s – to their secret courting, marriage and settling in Wandsworth. And then together as they established themselves at the heart of British theatre, television and film over the next seventy years, in some of the nation’s favourite shows, such as Fawlty Towers and Brass.
Crammed full of stories, often funny, sometimes poignant and occasionally jaw-dropping, Pru & Me also vividly recounts the late blaze of glory that introduced the world to the real Tim and Pru via Great Canal Journeys. Here, the couple charmed the nation while at the same time charting Pru’s gentle struggle with dementia.
An honest, charming and above all uplifting story of twin souls who, once they found one another, clung together through thick and thin. Pru & Me is a joyous portrait of a very, very special love story.

Fascinating and heartfelt story of two of our National Treasures
What a beautiful listen. So enjoyable to hear the story of two such incredible thespians of over 70+ years. Even better, Tim narrates their tale(s) perfectly.
But this is not just the fascinating story of their personal and working lives, it is a story of true and enduring love.
Can definitely recommend 💖

Pru and me
I listened to this over 3 or 4 evenings and absolutely loved it. Tim and Pru (I hope I may refer to you as such) are obviously still very much in love with one another. Dealing with Pru's dementia cannot be easy but it is so good to read/listen to Tim telling us all about their lives. They will shortly be celebrating a milestone in their lives together, congratulations to you both. With love.
