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）。《爆裂飞车2》是爆裂飞车系列的第二部作品，是一部充满戏剧色彩、科普宇宙知识、宣扬环保精神的科幻冒险类动画电视系列剧。很久以前，幽冥星战士罗煞为了掌控宇宙，与其余12位星座战士展开激战，最后罗煞被打败陷入沉睡。一天，一群自称罗煞手下的人突然攻击各个星球，给整个宇宙带来了破坏和混乱。主星公主洛晴得知要守护和平，必须找到继承星座力量的新的12位星座战士。因此，首先被星座力量选中的飞伦、擎锋陪同洛晴一起上路，前往宇宙各个星球，寻找其余继承星座力量的爆裂战士们，展开了一场运用知识、智慧与信念，一次次粉碎敌人阴谋的科幻冒险之旅。。21世纪特种部队人员项少龙（古天乐 饰）决意要参加穿梭时空的研究，是为了要挽回自己的爱情。但由于时光机的数据出错，把少龙带到了战国时期。 当时的嬴政（林峰 饰）还没有登上帝位，更被囚禁于赵国。少龙为了能返回未来，便不惜一切帮助嬴政顺利登上帝位。由于少龙的机智过人与特殊身份，他的能力得到了众人的赏识，因此他也遭到了多方奸狡之人的暗算。 在腹背受敌的情况下，生性风流的少龙也纠缠上一段复杂的四角恋爱关系。到底少龙能否协助嬴政赢得天下呢？他会如何处理自己与隔世恋人的情缘呢？。
