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）。阿兜（谭志刚 饰）和阿国（颜正国 饰）是两名正值青春的少年，然而，他们整日里过着的却是无所事事游手好闲的生活，对于目前的生活状态，两个男孩没有感觉有丝毫的不妥，并且十分享受。 小高（高捷 饰）是阿兜和阿国的同乡，常年混迹于黑道之中。前阵子，他效忠的老大被仇家杀死了，无奈之下，小高只得带着女友美美（魏筱慧 饰）返回故里。一次偶然中，阿兜和阿国得到了一批毒品和枪火，哪知道就此陷入了黑道的追杀之中。他们前往台北，想要寻找已经在道上混出了头脸的小高，就此踏上了一条不归路，并且最终沦为了帮派之间矛盾的牺牲品。。爱游泳的少年林风有个温暖的家，爸爸林大山深爱着妈妈叶茹，弟弟林雨乖巧可爱梦想成为一个拳击手，一家四口和乐融融。 突然有一天，母亲叶茹偷偷离开了林家，从此下落不明。林大山性情大变，不寻找妻子的下落，对兄弟二人不闻不问。林风一心要找到失踪的母亲，机缘巧遇结识了体操运动员吴小可，吴小可不仅帮助林风寻找母亲，还帮林风加入体工队成为游泳运动员；弟弟林雨在母亲失踪后父亲对他突然冷落，变得争强好胜，一心想要在拳击台上证明自己的存在。一张陈年报纸把林风、林雨、吴小可卷进了上一代人尘封的恩怨！林风苦苦寻找的母亲居然身陷牢房；林雨发现自己竟然和吴小可是同父异母的兄妹；吴小可找回了曾失去的童年记忆。林风为了化解两代人的爱恨情仇，不惜牺牲自己的一切，终于重新找回一个温暖的家。。
