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）。35岁的中年男子保罗（帕顿•奥斯瓦尔特 Patton Oswalt 饰）是纽约巨人橄榄球队的忠实粉丝，他通过电视、广播，甚至在车里，收看收听巨人队的比赛，并沉醉其中。其实，在日常的生活中，胸无大志的保罗是一个不幸的人，他跟母亲特丽莎住在一起。保罗是一名纽约斯塔滕岛的车库管理员，因为遭遇经济危机而工作岌岌可危，不但收入微薄，而且在家里没有地位，被亲戚朋友嘲笑。保罗几乎把所有业余时间都用在给当地电台的体育频道打电话上，希望通过电波表达对球队的忠心。令人奇怪的是，保罗总能在电台中遇到费城老鹰队的粉丝费尔（迈克尔•拉帕波特 Michael Rapaport 饰），两人总是话不投机。多年来，保罗沉迷于橄榄球，以至于一事无成，并不被家人理解，然而一次意外改变了他的人生……。
