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）。一个受保护的证人在转移途中遭伏击，三名在场警察被杀害，负责这次转移的探长Lindsay Denton很快被怀疑串通罪犯，反贪组在调查Denton的同时，也在寻找真凶，但是事情似乎并不简单……。对于一位骑手（亚力克·塞克雷亚努 Alec Secăreanu 饰）来说，他的摩托车不仅仅是一辆交通工具，更是他生活的全部象征。作为披萨外卖员，摩托车承载着他的生计，背负着移民父亲的梦想，日常的工作与家庭责任都寄托在这辆车上。它不仅送妻子去上班，还载着女儿上学，是他家庭生活中不可或缺的一部分。然而，某个晚上，这辆摩托车被偷走了，父亲的世界顿时崩塌。失去摩托车意味着失去工作，而失去工作的后果将是全家生计的严重威胁。他知道自己必须在下一轮班前找回摩托车，或者找到一个可以替代的交通工具。这一刻，他感受到前所未有的压力，仿佛整个家庭的希望都寄托在他的肩上。 他在这个陌生的城市里尝试联系几个熟人，希望能得到帮助，但时间紧迫，情况却越来越绝望。面对无助的现实，他的内心开始动摇，曾经坚定的良心也遭遇挑战。为了拯救自己和家庭，他甚至考虑背弃自己的原则，做一些他从未想...。
