I was very sad to read of the passing of Prunella Scales. She was a close friend of my father, Terence Frisby - she appeared in lots of his plays and sitcoms - and I met her many times, including several encounters during her latter years when she was afflicted with dementia. I even sat next to her on Christmas Eve at Midnight Mass in Southwark Cathedral not four years ago. She was always very kind and generous to me. My thesis at university (I read drama at Manchester) was on Fawlty Towers - for which I got a First (had to get that in there) - and she granted me the most brilliant, perspicacious interview. If I can find it, I will post it online because it is such a valuable resource for any student of comedy. Probably because of her downmarket Sybil Fawlty persona, many do not realise what a grand dame she actually was in real life. Quite the woman of the theatre. When I was starting out in the business, if she was appearing anywhere, Dad would take me, saying, “watch her work”. I remember seeing a production of a play called The Mother Tongue in Greenwich in 1992 and when we went for a drink after, she completely shunned have bizchat with Dad in favour of me, putting her arm around me, listening to my stories of drama school and making me feel like the most special person in the world. Dad got quite jealous. Of course, she was a wonderful comedienne. Dad always regarded It’s All Right If I Do It as one of his best plays, though it did not match the success of There’s A Girl In My Soup - in fact it bombed after a notorious first night, one of many plays to fail at The Mermaid, apparently. I never saw it, but the poster was always there on the wall of Dad’s flat with Prunella Scales boldly touted in the lead role, along with John Stride. I must have gazed at the poster a million times. He always sighed at how good she was in the part. She was also brilliant in his 1975 sitcom, Lucky Feller, about two cockney brothers in south-east London trying to make their way in life. One of them was played by David Jason. And David Jason drove a funny car. Uncanny, isn’t it? Pru played a randy West Country farmer’s wife (pictured above), who hasn’t been in touched by her husband in years. I found the episode on my computer, and it’s a gem. 25 minutes of classic English 1970s sitcom, which you have (almost certainly) never seen before. I urge you to watch the full 25 minutes. You will thank me. (I can't seem to put the whole thing on here so I will link to it in the next tweet) But here is a little 90-second exchange between her and David Jason. Enjoy

I just got the sad news that my Grandma Roz passed away at the age of 94. A Brownsville native, my grandmother was one of the first women to graduate from Brooklyn College with a degree in Chemistry. She was born to two very sick parents who both died while she was very young. My grandmother was a picky eater growing up and she never let me forget it. She introduced new food to me and when I fussed, she said “don’t say you don’t like something until you try it.” In fact, my first memory was her feeding me slices of cheese. I’m sure she just wanted me to be healthy, but it taught me a deeper lesson. That small value, helped me develop an open mind, not just for food, but everything in life. She taught me how to cross the streets in New York. One time, I got so frustrated that my grandma made me hold her hand, I ran off into the middle of the street with cars passing. When she rescued me 😂 she yelled at me and my credit score was dead on arrival ever since. My grandma spoke as a matter of fact. Confidently. She challenged me every step of my maturity. That helped me not only believe in myself but understand that along the way, I would have to put up as well. Even when you achieve something? It’s not enough. There’s still work to put in and a level to reach. With all her grandchildren, Grandma Roz would mark their height. Every visit, I’d see my growth. Through my younger cousins, I saw the evolution of her commitment to raising our family. I always respected that. My grandma once went to the Queens public library at flushing and picked me up a VHS of He Got Game. She tossed the case on the tv stand in my room and said “watch it, there’s nudity in it” 😂 When I was a teen, She would often have a secret non alcoholic beer with me… it was her way of being dangerous and I always got a kick out of it. As I got older, my car rides to NY always stopped at my grandma’s house in flushing. She would treat me the same way from when I was a kid. Treating an hour ride from Jersey as a “long ride you must be starving” taking out a piece of toast and offering a “little margarine” in her Brooklyn accent. At night, coming to my room with extra pillows, which she never called pillows, but “cushions” As a kid, my grandma would wake me up every morning singing Irving Berlin’s “Oh, How I Hate To Get Up In The Morning” I learned to enjoy the song because splashing water would come after. Something about that song. It’s so perfect. It’s so spiritual. I always imagined myself signing it at her funeral. I don’t know if I will, but now she won’t have to wake up every morning. She will get to sleep. With the eternal. Im forever grateful for such an amazing matriarch that I would have NOTHING without. I’m sad, broken, but she lived a long life and I know how blessed she was to make it a full century’s worth on this earth. My last experience with her was last week, she wouldn’t take her medicine. I just came up to her, put the pills in my hand and gave it to her. She took it. She grabbed my hand and kissed it. I’m so thankful to my mom, the healthcare workers, for allowing me to have a moment like that. Rest in Peace, Roslind Dorwitt aka Grandma Roz, or as our family called her… The Wizard of ROZ. ❤️

🌻: I told Atom, "The day you decide to stand beside me, it might be a little exhausting. You might have to face things that affect you emotionally. Are you ready for that? It may not be easy. It may not be as beautiful as people imagine it to be. But are you ready?" And she said, "I'm willing. I'm ready." I never talked about the good side of it. Not once. I only told her about the worst-case scenarios. I only talked about the challenges and the downsides. The very first thing I wanted to know was whether her heart would be strong enough to handle it. But she told me she wanted to try. She wanted to see where this journey would take her. She put all of her heart and trust into the decision to stand beside me. And that made me feel that, from this day forward, I wanted to take the best possible care of her as her partner. Because I felt like, "Wow, she's placing her trust in me." The thing is, when she entered this industry, there were already so many people interested in her. Many of them were from major companies. But in the end, she chose this... she chose peace of mind. 🍑: At first, we didn't actually know each other personally. I had only been watching and following her from afar. The first reason I chose her was simply because I admired her. I was a fan of hers. But after meeting her for real and spending more time together, I started to feel that I could entrust myself—and everything that comes with me—to her. I trusted her. I believed in her. I believed that she would take care of me, and that she would help me become someone I could be proud of in the future. Because of that, I gradually felt more at ease. More comfortable being around her. And that's when I decided, "Okay, I want to work with her. I want to be her partner. I want to be by her side."
