It is amazing to me how all these documentaries forget about Eastern Europe. I don’t mean Constantinople They think history only happened in the west. Typical colonialist barbarism. The most barbarian calling others barbarian

No one can watch this and say that the West is not in severe decline. Look at how peaceful, clean, orderly and sophisticated everything was. 1969 was the last days of it. The Boomers were given everything, and destroyed it.

One of the greatest tv series ever made.Without getting into a long debate about Sociology:Or the Post modernists:and it being the antithesis of the likes of Kenneth Clarke.There is a place for both if we are to understand the World we live in today and appreciate the past good and bad.I don’t like the way we are now with either a right or wrong view amongst everyone everywhere.We should share and debate,not close off each other’s opinions and perspectives. Right that’s out of the way and can get back to watching 👀

Sir Kenneth conveniently omits to describe the role which Christianity played in bringing down the Roman Empire. Libraries were burnt down, statues destroyed, Plato’s Academy shut down. What follows was the Dark Ages.

And you conveniently omit the utterly Christian Constantinople, where Rome lived on and shone as the brightest light of humanity for another seven centuries, and was the flame that rekindled learning in Charlemagne's lands and later in the Renaissance.
