Samuel West, the son of Prunella Scales, has revealed that he feels "very sad" that she and his famous father, Timothy West, won't be able to watch him portray Malvolio in the Royal Shakespeare Company’s upcoming production of Twelfth Night. Prunella died aged 93 on October 27, almost a year after the passing of her husband, Timothy. Samuel, who has been in The Crown and All Creatures Great and Small, opened up about losing his parents on BBC Radio 4's Last Word.
He candidly shared: “I’m about to open as Malvolio in the RSC’s Twelfth Night at the Barbican for Christmas and the thought that neither of them will see it. I mean, the first time we did it, it was just after my father’s death, and I sort of did it for him, but the idea that neither of them will see it now makes me very sad, but I mean, they’ll see it somehow.”
The 59-year-old added: “People said after her death, they’ll be reunited in heaven, cruising canals, but actually, knowing my parents, I think they’re much more likely to be touring some agitprop play.”
Samuel's father starred in a range of programmes such as Coronation Street, EastEnders and Not Going Out before his passing in November 2024.
Addressing Prunella and Timothy's love for canal journeys, the actor shared: “When they came to do Great Canal Journeys, they’d really been on the canals for 30 years, I think, and knew roughly what they were doing.
“It was quite unusual to have older people on television who aren’t a focus of either tragedy or comedy, for them being about to die or not being able to do something properly.
“And although they did hit the odd boat, the only sadness at that time was that my mother was suffering from a sort of dementia.
“And I remember saying to my dad, when they did the first episode, ‘You’re going to have to discuss this on camera with me in a two-shot, so that you’re both together, and we know that you’re not discussing it behind her back.'
“And he said, ‘Really? I mean, it’s an open secret in the profession.' And I said, ‘Yeah, but I think outside the profession it’s a real secret. I think you’d be surprised.'"
The actor said his mother passed away a day after what would have been her 62nd wedding anniversary.
