The Bayeux Tapestry is one of the treasures of the medieval world. Across 70 metres of exquisitely embroidered scenes, it tells the story of one of the most seismic events in British history – the Norman Invasion of 1066. For the last 950 years, this crucial part of Britain's national story has remained on the other side of the English Channel, in Bayeux, Normandy, but now it’s coming back to the UK. A stellar cast of historians and experts follow the painstaking efforts to bring this priceless work of art back to the UK, where experts believe it was made, for a once-in-a-millennium exhibition at the British Museum.

Historian Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of a centuries-old masterpiece in glass. At 78 feet in height, the famous East Window at York Minster is the largest medieval stained-glass window in the country and it was the creative vision of a single artist - a mysterious master craftsman called John Thornton, one of the earliest named English artists. The East Window of York Minster is far more than a work of artistic genius, it is a window onto the medieval world and the medieval mind - telling us who were once were and who we still are, all preserved in the most fragile medium of all.

北欧的冰天雪地中，老人在炉火旁娓娓讲述起了流传千年的萨迦。其中爱恨情仇交织，世族仇恨交迭，血腥仇杀惊心动魄；而这些背后，有着怎样的历史真相？这些故事又对欧洲文学的发展产生了怎样的影响？

英国的盎格鲁撒克逊时代，对所有人来说都是一个神秘的时代，它确确实实的存在过，却又在诺曼人入侵之后销声匿迹，没有留下曾经存在过的痕迹。这个曾经辉煌一时的部落时代，给我们留下大量的历史宝藏，这些宝藏以其精美的工艺令后世惊叹，令我们膜拜不已。但正是这样一个文化，却又没有留下什么文字记录，只有一首战歌留存世上： 战马骑手今何在？ 王者去何方？ 华堂宝座今何在？ 盛宴去何方？ 啊 葡萄美酒夜光杯！ 啊 金鳞盔甲英雄配！ 啊 人民百姓尊荣贵！

Art historian Dr Janina Ramirez embarks on a journey through six decades of the BBC archives to create a television history of one of the most celebrated figures in art - Leonardo Da Vinci. Ramirez shows how experts and art presenters - from Andrew Graham-Dixon to Fiona Bruce to Kenneth Clarke - have turned to television to bring Leonardo's artwork out of galleries and into our living rooms. Through television they have explored the origins of Leonardo's boundless curiosity, his pioneering use of light and shade, and his remarkable scientific exploration. Along the way Dr Ramirez discovers Britain's little-known version of The Last Supper, the gruesome ways Leonardo acquired his anatomical knowledge - and even what lies beneath the Mona Lisa.
