拥有幸福美满生活的大兵福德·布罗迪，内心隐藏着一个挥之不去的阴影。15年前，他和父亲乔伊、母亲桑德拉生活在日本。父母供职于一座大型核电站。就在福德的爸爸生日当天，一场突如其来的灾难摧毁了核电站，他的母亲在灾难中丧生，语焉不详的政府隐瞒真相，以防止核辐射的名义封锁了该地区。但是乔伊却从种种异状觉察到反常之处，十五年来他一直试图揭开当天的灾难之谜，终于发现这一切都是由一只如山一般巨大的怪兽所引起。 怪兽哥斯拉从沉睡中苏醒，令人难以预测的灾难席卷而来……。伴随着种种猜测和推论，开膛手杰克作为历史上最神秘的连环杀手成功的把这个不解之迷从19世纪带到了21世纪。120年后的伦敦,仍然在那个白教堂区（Whitechapel）,重新出现了和当年开膛手杰克作案手法如出一辙的杀人案件.杀人犯效仿开膛手杰克的手法四处杀人。白教堂区警察局的探长Joseph（鲁伯特·彭利·琼斯 Rupert Penry-Jones 饰）被局长指派去调查出现在白教堂区发生的凶杀案。由于年轻,所以遭到下属的嘲笑。警探Miles（菲尔·戴维斯 Philip Davis 饰）对下属相当严格，对自己的判断相当有自信，不善听取别人的意见。对Joseph有相当大的意见，但是随着命案的连续出现和他的正确判断，开始敬佩新探长的能力。有了开膛手杰克学者Edward（史蒂夫·佩姆伯顿 Steve Pemberton 饰）的帮助，使得Joseph的调查有了实质的进展。经过警探们深入调查其中奥妙，究竟他们能否抓住真凶呢？。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）。
