Saga Magazine

1 October 2022

In this month’s issue… Hello and a warm welcome to your October issue of Saga Magazine. We hope it finds you well. Actor and comedian Sir Lenny Henry is our cover star this month. In a candid interview, the 64-year-old, who rose to fame after winning talent show New Faces at the age of 16 and went on to co-found Comic Relief, opens up about coming to terms with his mother’s death, weight struggles and learning to put his loved ones first. We also chat to legendary actor Charlotte Rampling, who tells us how she still lives for her work and, despite being 76, has no intention of stopping just yet. Who doesn’t love a game of Scrabble? The board game is popular across the world, yet many who play at a competitive level are up in arms after its owners banned more than 400 words. We find out what’s causing the big Scrabble squabble. If you’re feeling the pinch this autumn, we have some of our readers’ top money-saving tips, plus a round-up of the best-value cars in all categories. Go back in time with retro Seventies-inspired fashion and tickle your tastebuds with one-pan recipes from Jamie Oliver. There’s our usual health, money, travel and gardening features, too. You can also read the latest from our regular columnists Jeremy Paxman, Jenni Murray and Susie Dent, and test your brain power with our puzzle pages and pub quiz. We hope you enjoy it.
