　　《探索·发现》栏目为还原这位治世能臣的一生，专门走进威海华夏城，实地探访为纪念夏原吉而修建的夏园。在夏园，夏原吉的后人以蜡像、灯光、音响、实物等表现方式，详细记述了夏原吉及他的长孙、威海夏氏始祖——夏暹的事迹。
　　这部名为《大明管家》的纪录片，从明成祖朱棣驾崩开始说起，将明朝五代元老夏原吉的一生娓娓道来。夏原吉，以诚笃干济为明太祖朱元璋所重；建文帝时任户部右侍郎，任内政治清明，百姓悦服。靖难之役后，明成祖即位，委以重任，与蹇义并称于世。明成祖后，相继辅佐仁宣之治，政绩卓越。他生活俭朴，廉洁自守，做事亲历亲为，根治江南浙西水患，开导明成祖取缔文字狱，筹措郑和下西洋数以万计的费用。明宣宗宣德五年卒，年六十五岁，赠太师，谥忠靖。
　　当历尽沧桑、饱含历史的夏园与博大恢弘、制作精良的《探索·发现》相遇时，便诞生了这部《大明管家》。在解说员深沉且极富磁性的解说下，夏原吉的一生以夏园为背景，一幕幕展现在观众面前。

　　Ben Robinson retraces the dramatic last days of King John, England's most disastrous monarch, and uncovers the legend of his lost treasure.
　　Ten days took King John from ruler of an empire to sudden death, and left the kingdom in ruins. John is famous for the creation of Magna Carta, which inspired our modern democracy.
　　Ben follows in the footsteps of the King's epic last journey, from the treacherous marshes of East Anglia, through Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire, to his final resting place in Worcester. He is joined by medieval historian professor Stephen Church.
　　Together they examine the truth behind the legend that has lived on for 800 years. Did the crown jewels really end up in the mud of the Wash? Was the King poisoned? Does he deserve his reputation as our most disastrous monarch?
　　Thanks to unique documents, we can tell this epic tale in the King's own words. Not only can we get into the mind of the Magna Carta King, we can reveal in fantastic detail how and where he travelled.
　　Ben reveals what happened when treasure seekers attempted to find the King's lost jewels with the help of a diviner. And using the latest technology reveals how we can actually see back in time to reveal the landscape as it would have looked when King John made his last journey 800 years ago.
