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）。生活在大都市做编剧的年轻人程封，先后经历了和女朋友分手、被公司解雇、房东催租一系列事件，绝望到想要跳楼自杀却又被围观的人嘲笑。因为一条免费云南游的短信，他放弃了自杀，踏上了去云南的火车，在云南经历很多挫折之后，程封醒悟过来，只要活着就要勇敢去做自己想做的事。程封回到大都市，一直想要帮他的刚子也遭受到修车行合伙人阿五分股离开的危机，程封彻底明白每个人生活的不易，也看到每个不屈奋斗的灵魂，最后程封也终于实现了自己的梦想。。一家欣欣向荣但地下的毒品生意正由杜沙恩（阿什利·沃尔特斯）和他的朋友萨利（凯恩·罗宾逊）经营，成为该街区最富有的人。为了富起来，杜沙恩和萨利与顶级的唐·鲍比·雷克斯（杰夫·贝尔）合作。与卡迈勒（斯科尔克）和他的帮派竞争导致他们从雷克斯租借出去被偷，他们发誓报复。13岁的拉内尔（马尔科姆·卡穆莱特）逐渐被引诱加入帮派和毒品交易，因为他的母亲丽莎（莎朗·邓肯-布鲁斯特）已经崩溃，并住院治疗-具有毁灭性的后果。。
