Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。1945年，抗日战争胜利的前夕，日寇放火烧毁了东北某一村镇。帮助我国抗日的苏联红军随军女护士梅什科娃，在烈火中救出中国儿童小虎子，把他送到苏军医疗站去救治。小虎子得救了，他的父母为了感谢梅什科娃，送给她一个象征吉祥如意的百家锁，梅什科娃也把刻有父名安德烈依的怀表送给小虎子留作纪念。第二次世界大战结束后，梅什科娃回到苏联改学地质，十余年后，作为地质专家，被中国聘请到中国西北工作。小虎子名叫李青，从部队转业到新疆某地质勘探队工作。动身前，父亲李哲明把那块值得纪念的怀表交给了他。李青恰好与梅什科娃工作在一个地质队，但他们已互不相识了。地质队的姑娘们从梅什科娃的皮包里发现了那个百家锁，追问根源，得知了百家锁的由来。梅什科娃由于忘我地工作，积劳成疾，患j’严重的胃病。一次胃病发作，地质队员们冒着狂风暴雨，穿过沼泽地带，要把她送到额尔齐斯河对岸的医院去。但因河上风大浪险，仅有的渡船在船坞中躲避风浪，百呼不应。李青冒着生命危险攀沿河上的铁索，与风浪搏斗，终于爬到了对岸，叫来渡船，将梅什科娃及时送进医院。梅什科娃在医院中，经过手术急救，转危为安。一天，李青前来医院看望，梅什科娃偶然发现李青随身携带的一只俄国古式怀表，就是自己在十多年前送给李哲明的纪念品。这一突然的发现，使梅什科娃心情十分激动，她终于认出了李青就是她怀念多年而没有找到的小虎子，她急忙拿出百家锁，双手紧握着这两件最宝贵的礼物，注视李青良久，终于喊出：“李青，小虎子，我终于找到你了!”李青万万没有想到当年抢救自己生命的苏联女红军就是今天的地质专家梅什科娃，两人紧紧地拥抱在一起。不久，梅什科娃病愈出院，回到地质队，他们又投入到紧张、愉快的劳动中去了。。拉杰（赫里尼克·罗斯汉 Hrithik Roshan 饰）和蒂娜（卡琳娜·卡普Kareena Kapoor 饰）是关系十分要好的玩伴，拉杰要移民到英国了，蒂娜答应他即使两人身处异地，但依然要通过电子邮件来保持联系。可是，当拉杰给蒂娜发电子邮件时，蒂娜却总是爱理不理，蒂娜的好友波加（拉妮·玛克赫吉 Rani Mukherjee 饰）实在看不下去，于是顶替了蒂娜的身份给拉杰回邮件。 一晃眼十五年过去，在这十五年里，拉杰一直不知道，和他保持通信聊得火热的，其实是波加。某日，拉杰决定回印度度假，蒂娜和波加的小小谎言眼看着就要被拆穿了。。
