| Hello
This weekend we have rounded up a selection of the best books being made into films and TV series this year, from cult classics to 2018’s hottest releases. Pure, inspired by a mental health memoir, is already causing a stir with its exploration of a sexual form of OCD, while adaptations of Stephen King’s and Philip Pullman’s work are also hotly anticipated. We also have the lowdown on the top 10 period dramas to look out for over the coming year. And Imogen Hermes Gowar, who had the best-selling debut novel of 2018 with The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock, talks to us about its follow-up.
Elsewhere in LiFE, we have an interview with Call the Midwife actress Jenny Agutter, who talks about her recent comments on the MeToo movement, why she thinks the BBC series is so popular, and what it’s like wearing a nun’s habit to work.
In Travel, we have a round-up of the best cheap post-Brexit destinations. If you’re worried about what’s going to happen to exchange rates, we’ve selected 15 of the most affordable places to visit such as Fethiye, Turkey (above). Simon Calder, meanwhile, asks what Brexit means for our passports.
And in Sport, we have preview coverage of the Six Nations rugby tournament, which starts this weekend with a blockbuster clash between reigning champs Ireland and England, who will want to impove on last year's disappointing campaign. We’re also offering readers the chance to win tickets to England's clash with France at Twickenham on 10 February.
Plus, as always, there’s our popular puzzles pull-out, handy 7-day TV guide, insightful comment section on the week’s biggest topics and useful money advice.
Whatever you are doing, we hope you have a wonderful weekend.
