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）。生长在瓦尔哈那行星的美丽公主瓦尔古雷，为了逃避所谓的政治婚姻，从行星出逃了…… 当她即将在地球降落时，UFO飞船因为失控，冲向了「时乃汤」，压倒了和人…… 为了挽救和人的生命，瓦尔古雷将自己最重要的东西--“灵魂”的一半分给了和人，然而自己因为超能力的减弱，变成了非常可爱的小女孩。在意识模糊之时，和人看到了还没变小的瓦尔古雷，心仪不已。就这样，瓦尔古雷与和人一起住在「时乃汤」。 好景不长，另一个脾气暴躁的公主海多拉（因为瓦尔古雷的逃婚而被顶替结婚的她，非常嫉恨瓦尔古雷）从行星跑出来寻找瓦尔古雷，也来到了地球。同样，她降落地球时也把秋菜的七弧神社给撞烂了。（也难怪，秋菜后来那么对付她）终于，她发现了瓦尔古雷的行踪，但这时，和人带着瓦尔古雷逃跑了…… 可是最后，他们还是被海多拉找到了。两人被海多拉发出的冲击波击中，倒在地上。关键时刻，和人吻了瓦尔古雷……...。20世纪50年代，“21点大满贯”是美国最叫座的电视益智游戏节目，成千上万的观众被它吸引。常胜冠军赫伯·斯坦普尔（约翰·特托罗 John Turturro饰）已经连续多次夺魁，但是电视台老板觉得他已经失去了新鲜感，下令节目制片人丹·恩莱特（大卫·佩默 David Paymer饰）寻找新人顶替。哥伦比亚大学优等生查尔斯·范·多伦（拉尔夫·费因斯 Ralph Fiennes饰）被丹相中，而查尔斯顺理成章地成为新一届的卫冕者。当观众们都被他博学多闻的机智回答所迷倒时，国会议员迪克·古德温（罗伯·莫洛 Rob Morrow饰）怀疑节目中存在着舞弊行为。经过详细调查取证后，惊天黑幕也正在慢慢浮出水面。 由知名奥斯卡获奖导演罗伯特·雷德福执导的影片《机智问答》，取材自20世纪50年代美国电视圈的真实事件。导演深刻地描绘了这宗当年最大的电视丑闻案，荣获1995年第67届奥斯卡金像奖最佳影片提名、最佳导演提名及最佳男配角提名。。
