Saga Magazine

1 May 2022

Welcome to your May issue of Saga Magazine, we’ve given it a fresh new-look and very much hope you like it. This month’s cover star is the one and only Jim Carter, who plays the grumpy but much-loved butler Carson in Downton Abbey. His character gets to sample the high life on the Côte d’Azure in new movie Downton: A New Era. We also sit down with the queen of Countdown’s Dictionary Corner, Susie Dent, to discuss the wonder of words and how she’s hitting her stride in later life. Susie is joining us as a columnist from next month’s issue. And we meet TV presenter Kate Humble, who talks about the joys of country living and why, despite writing a new cookery book, she is no domestic goddess. There are also fascinating features on the quest to expand the human life span, recipes from Joe Wicks, game-changing health apps, beautiful butterflies and the GP who became a prison doctor. Our brilliant regular columnists such as Jeremy Paxman, Jenni Murray, Alan Johnson, vet Bruce Fogle and money expert Paul Lewis are all here, as are all your favourite regular features on travel, gardening, food, motoring, health, puzzles and much more. We hope you enjoy your Saga Magazine.
