Seems like I saw Ms. Scales in something recently. Is she in the Harry Potter films, maybe?
I've never been able to stand prunes!

The HP films aren't in her IMDB bio. Hmmmm . . .

BTW, her birth name is - get this - Prunella Margaret Rumney Illingworth.
It takes a true Briton to hear Margaret, and think Prunella is a better name.

Then it must have been something else. Maybe she was the guest star in a "Miss Marple" show on PBS in the last year or two.
You've got to admit, "Prunella" is distinctive and memorable!

She was in at least one episode of the "Midsomer Murders" series that I know of.

I hope she didn't drive over any mines, or anything like that.

The UK version of The Office had just 14 episodes.

“Fawlty Towers”! Loved that show, as did my late mother. “Fawlty Towers” still lives here on Public TV and BBC America as does “Keeping Up Appearances” and “Are You Being Served?”.

Several classic American TV shows were based on earlier British shows: All In the Family, Three’s Company, The Office, and I think several others.
I also remember watching one of those John Cleese management/customer service training films serveral jobs ago.
