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）。何雄飞是个喜欢跳拉丁舞的小胖子，有一次逃课去学拉丁舞，被爸爸发现了，爸爸非常生气。但是何雄飞并没有因此放弃，还是依然坚持并喜欢着拉丁舞。拉丁舞老师杨诺给小胖安排了一个小搭档馨蕊，可是馨蕊刚开始不喜欢小胖，嫌他笨。小胖因此更加努力，他觉得是因为他没跳好，馨蕊才讨厌他的。馨蕊被小胖的举动打动了，爸爸也从刚开始的反对，变为支持。为了赢得全国少儿拉丁舞大赛，小胖和馨蕊加紧练习着，准备比赛，但是比赛有人在暗箱操作，最终小胖和馨蕊失掉了比赛。不过他俩的纯真和努力充满了能量，电视台制片人牛犇良心发现，实名举报天龙爸爸指示他给大赛造假的黑幕。小胖自己的拉丁舞之梦实现了，更帮助馨蕊完成了去美国找妈妈的心愿。。还记得2007年让网友们大呼过瘾的破烂熊双语字幕版经典喜剧《是，大臣》和《是，首相》吗？1980年代它们风靡全英尤其是政界，其机智幽默和讽刺喜剧的效果比当今有 “英国德云社” 之称的议会下院辩论更胜一筹。 三十年斗转星移，有两位原剧主演已经随着那个优雅的年代远去，白厅里过客换了一茬又一茬，《幕后危机》中Malcolm Tucker那样的Spin Doctors（媒体顾问）成为了新世纪唐宁街呼风唤雨的新贵，当年那鸡飞狗跳而风度翩翩，言辞犀利而做事扯皮的场面，在当今的政治背景下是否依然如故？有多少与时俱进的笑料在呼之欲出？这次原编剧Antony Jay和Jonathan Lynn再次走到了一起，把哈克、汉弗莱和伯纳三人组请到了2013年，让他们置身欧债危机、能源交易、苏格兰公投、中东外交等等破事儿之间，演出一部六集新故事。拍成后BBC首先抛来媚眼，但是两...。
