There are so many people in the 1988 ‘An Audience with Peter Ustinov’ who are no longer with us – [here Prunella Scales is laughing at Ustinov’s impression of Constant Lambert](https://youtu.be/Bi1GXrLLHjs?t=260).
Basil will be blamed for this, as always.
RIP. Thanks for the great moments and memories.
Such amazing casting as Sybil Fawlty… You absolutely believed that these two characters were a world-weary married couple.
First Patricia Routledge and now Prunella Scales. We are sadly at a point where the actors and actresses from the classics are all in their twilight years. It is sad that those who have bought laughter to generations are all passing on.
