1 November 2023

Hello and welcome to your November issue of Saga Magazine, which we hope finds you well. This month, Radio 2 DJ Zoe Ball is our fabulous cover star. As she returns to our screens to host new TV talent show Mamma Mia! I Have A Dream, Abba-fan Zoe tells us why this is her dream job. She also chats about holidaying with her dad Johnny, passing on her Nineties outfits to her teenage daughter and how she still loves clubbing in Ibiza, but now knows when to leave the party. From hitting the dance floor to ‘jaw-dropping’ high kicks. TV presenter Angela Rippon takes time out from her busy Strictly schedule to talk to us about why at 79 it felt daunting to be the oldest person to ever take part in the show. Judging by her performances, she’s certainly giving the younger contestants a run for their money. We also feature a piece written by one of Britain’s longest-serving newsreaders, Alastair Stewart, who writes movingly about his recent dementia diagnosis and explains why he’s keen to show people that dementia is not a ‘cliff edge’. In a packed issue, we’re gearing up for the party season with great wines to gift – both alcoholic and non-alcoholic – and glamourous fashion that’s guaranteed to turn heads. And we’re celebrating 60 years of Doctor Who with 25 fascinating facts about the show’s history. Plus, there’s pub grub from Tom Kerridge, all your favourite puzzles and much more. We hope you enjoy it.
