Timothy is a natural flirt Timothy is a natural flirt

West, who has been married to Fawlty Towers star Prunella Scales for more than 45 years, admits he still loves to catch a pretty lady’s eye. “Occasionally, even now, somebody gives me a smile that I might think is just a little bit more than a smile,” he tells Saga magazine.

“And when it happens I think, ‘How nice is that! Why don’t people flirt more?' ”

The actor adds: “The truth is, I love a little bit of harmless flirtation. I think it lubricates the passage of life – and done well, it’s a truly great art.”

Let’s just hope Prunella sees it that way, Timothy.
