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）。1942年，病中的女作家萧红困在了日军炮火下的香港，年轻的东北作家骆宾基陪在她的身边，萧红向骆宾基讲述了她10年来颠沛流离的写作生涯，以及她和作家萧军、端木蕻良之间的两段不寻常的感情，特别是她与萧军难以忘怀的感情经历。这个生逢战乱，历尽坎坷，向往爱情，充满魅力的女作家深深打动了骆宾基，但此时的萧红已经病入膏肓。骆宾基和外出归来的端木蕻良把萧红送进医院，陪伴她度过了生命中最后的时光……。《The Good Guys》是一部传统的警匪（罪案）剧，但它有几个值得注意的关键词：幽默，守旧派警察，现代派侦探，鸡毛蒜皮的小案子。把这几个关键词拼凑到一起，就是本剧的基本轮廓。 Dan Stark（Bradley Whitford扮演，《白宫西翼》）曾是达拉斯城里无人不知的大侦探。三十年后，Dan的那些「英雄事迹」早已被人们遗忘，再没有人把他当成英雄，甚至没有人记得他的名字。Dan只能整天借酒消愁，在浑浑噩噩中回顾自己那段光辉岁月。 Dan的新搭档Jack Bailey侦探（Colin Hanks，《广告狂人》、《数字追凶》）是个有抱负、守规矩、很有前途的年轻人，但有时管不住自己的脾气，在局里得罪了很多人，以至于谁都不愿意和他搭档。也正是因为如此，他哪也不能去，只能乖乖地做自己的小侦探。这对他来说不知是件好事还是件坏事－－和Dan在一起，他时来运...。
