James Nesbitt stars in a new drama that spans the five years after the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Writer Peter Bowker and producer Derek Wax discuss making the programme, which charts the journeys of three soldiers from invasion to the present. 100 years ago, the Italian poet Marinetti published a Manifesto of Futurism, demanding art that celebrated the modern world of industry and technology. Artist Thomas Heatherwick visits a new exhibition celebrating the movement's centenary. Peggy Reynolds reviews the opening of major new productions of The Cherry Orchard and The Winter's Tale, both directed by Sam Mendes.
