Timothy West, English actor

Dec. 09 Timothy West - Star of King Edward VII the new tv series: 22 is a bad age for a King, especially when you are 40 remarks Timothy West who plays Edward VII during an incredible 47 year span from age 22 to the King's death in 1910 at the age of 69. Its a challenging role but one in which Tim West has excelled as the enormous popularity of the series shows. The series which has cost over 1 1/2 million to produce and is being televised in 13 weeks is a masterpiece in Historical documentation and superb productio. The Queen gave permission for scenes to be shot on location at Sandringham and St Georges Chapel, Windsor. It has taken 1 1/2 years to make. Timothy West, a little known actor before this key role finds that he has tremendous sympathy for this long suffering Sovereign. Everything happened to him at the wrong time, there was always something that prevented him enjoying any period of his life says Timonthy. Heavily forced educationally as a child, repressed during adolescence, and being deprived of an active responsible role as an adult, until he became King far too late at the age of 59, Edward makes a complex and fascinating subject for dramatic portrayal. Timothy lives with his wife the well known stage and TV actress Prunella Scales and his 3 children, Juliet, Sam and Joseph on Wandsworth Common, in a very Edwardian House. We (Edward VII and Tim) have a lot in Common I think We are both fond of food and female company, both fond of a fairly good time and the comforts of life
