Scales played Sybil Fawlty, the strong-willed wife of Basil (John Cleese) and co-manager of their hotel, opposite Booth's sensible waitress and chambermaid Polly Sherman.
Booth shared the following statement with Radio Times:
"She was tiny — those high heels, the perfect little figure. The size of her contrast to John couldn't have worked better as a stage picture.
"Even though she was diminutive, she had a real power which gave a punch to such lines as 'When I married you, I thought I was getting a man — not a nervous breakdown in a tie'.
"It was the most personal exchange we'd ever had. Maybe it was naïve of me, but I was surprised at the difference in feeling from the light-hearted quote I'd read in the newspapers about her marriage. 'We stayed together because we've always rather liked each other— and because neither of us can cook'.
"As a performer Prunella was memorable; it's part of life's irony that over time she lost her memory. But even there, she had the capacity to turn bleakness into something bright. 'I can't remember everything,' she said, 'but I can still remember to laugh'."
