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）。《电子耶稣》(Electric Jesus)讲述了亚拉巴马的一位传道士的女儿在1986年夏季期间私自与一个由基督教徒组成的长发金属乐队共赴巡回演出的故事。。三位冠軍級「男神」譚俊彥、方力申、張馳豪，加上關禮傑搭伍允龍的限定組合，將《男神廚房》移師餐廳「開業」。四個男神單位各自擬定包含三道菜的套餐，並由美女廚師陳曉樺擔任顧問，務求令食客大飽口福！ 每晚的參賽者都要炮製數十人份量的「男神限定」，更會透過互動，向客人拉票。總結餐廳入座率連收費、紀念品銷售額，再扣除營運成本後，「終極男神」即將誕生！ 此外，鄭裕玲、王菀之、何廣沛亦會聚首，一同享用男神們壓軸盛宴。。
