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）。故事的开始是两个年轻男女在洛杉矶到纽约的航班上的偶遇。奥利弗（艾什顿·库奇饰）是一个刚刚从大学中毕业的小伙子，他聪明机敏，并且踌躇满志，对于自己的未来——事业成功以及寻找到真爱——有着周密的规划。艾米丽（阿曼达·皮特饰）则是一个个性张扬的女孩，她的自我意识非常的强烈，并且在她的生活中充斥着自相矛盾的观点和选择。虽然初次见面让两个人的心中都泛起了涟漪，但奥利弗和艾米丽都清楚的认识到，长久相处并不属于他们。虽然在短暂的相处之后，奥利弗和艾米丽又各自行走在自己的生活轨道上，但两个人在对方心中所留下的影子却长久的挥之不去。经过了初次见面时的怦然心动之后，年复一年，从一个城市到另一个城市，他们又多次的见面、然后就是分离。随着时间流逝，这对小冤家慢慢变成了无话不谈的好朋友。虽然他们能共同拥有激情，但是两人似乎总是阴差阳错地和爱情擦肩而过，最终总是会有充分的理由离开对方。可是，冥冥中仍然有一种说不清的力量一次又一次将他们两人聚在一起。他们一起聚餐，一起跳舞，一起笑出胸中的烦闷。他们互相倾诉，一起缠绵，在野外享受激情的夜晚……在七年之后，奥利弗终于意识到了其实艾米丽才是他真正寻找的女孩。于是，他带着新买的吉他，在艾米丽的门前唱了一曲Bon Jovi著名的歌曲《I'll be there for you》。经过了漫长的七年，有情人终于牵手。浪漫是什么？浪漫就是毁灭友情，建立爱情。。Paramount+确认Kelsey Grammer主演的Frasier重启剧将会续订第二季，饰演Roz的Peri Gilpin回归出演，同样回归的还有饰演Bulldog的Dan Butler，饰演Gil的Edward Hibbert，饰演Bebe Glazer的Harriet Sansom Harris，另外Patricia Heaton、Kelsey Grammer的女儿Greer Grammer等多位明星将有客串，敬请期待。
