Actor Timothy West, who died last November aged 90 following a fall, said on the ITV show: "The sad thing is that you just watch the gradual disappearance of the person that you knew and loved and were very close to.

"It is when you start thinking of the past and you think, 'Oh, what a shame she can't do that any more, or you can't talk about this any more'. Then it is sad. As the story got around, not a lot of people rushed to employ her."

Diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2013, Prunella and Timothy continued to speak about her condition for more than a decade, notably on their TV travel series Great Canal Journeys and in West's 2023 memoir Pru and Me.
