Episode 5 of 5

Reflecting on Bristol鈥檚 Old Vic and King Lear across Ireland. Timothy West reads his last batch of letters to his wife.

1990: Timothy returns to the Bristol Old Vic as associate director, replete with every diminishing financial backing.

And it's on to the Tivoli Theatre, Dublin in 1992: to play King Lear.

Actor Timothy West concludes his last batch of letters written to his actress wife, Prunella Scales, over a period of 30 years while on tour around the UK.
