00:00 Prunella Scales' husband in heartbreaking update on her dementia miss her companionship

00:15 The husband of Prunella Scales, Timothy West, has issued a heartbreaking update on her dementia

00:21 battle as he shares that he misses her companionship as his best friend.

00:31 Timothy West, 88, has opened up about his wife Prunella Scales' battle with dementia.

00:44 Speaking to Saga Magazine, Timothy shared the challenges that the couple have faced

00:48 following her diagnosis.

00:57 He said, "For someone like Prue with any form of progressive dementia, the prognosis is

01:02 not that cheerful.

01:10 But she seems to manage incredibly well with things, as I try to, but surely she must sometimes

01:15 wonder whether she is going to be allowed to end her days in this house that has been

01:19 so dear to us.

01:27 Not recognizing me hasn't been a problem, but it will come, I'm sure."

01:31 Prunella, 91, who is best known for her role as Sybil Fawlty in the hit BBC comedy Fawlty

01:45 Towers, was diagnosed with dementia in 2014.

01:55 Timothy also told the magazine, "There's a lot of time you have to spend making sure

01:59 Prue knows where she is and where I am.

02:02 But we share a bed together, we get up, come downstairs, have breakfast and chat."

02:14 Before going on to say, "Now that her condition has worsened, I miss Prue's companionship

02:19 as my best friend."

02:28 Timothy also spoke about how he misses visiting the theatre or concerts with his wife and

02:33 discussing the performances afterwards, as her condition means she's often forgotten

02:37 who she's seen.

02:42 However, he confirms the pair are still as happy as ever as he says, "Now we live life

02:50 to the full but stay very much in the moment.

02:53 Prue doesn't have much awareness of time so when she joins me in the living room, her

02:58 face lights up as if we've been apart for days.

03:01 The look on her face makes me realise how much I love her."

03:11 Timothy and Prunella married in 1963, after meeting on the set of a TV costume drama.

03:18 The couple share two sons Sam West who is an actor, and Joseph West, a translator.
