I like the History channel documentaries about the Roman Empire and the Dark Ages. Sure, they may have simplified certain aspects a bit, and the reenactments are cheesy, but I like them anyways. And I'm particularly fond of that pudgy Texan fellow. He's cool.
The narrative voice says so in the opening scenes, but that's just one of those things one have to look beyond. And the description of the Visigoths is, of course, very silly.
They're actually referring to the sack of Rome in 410 by Alaric's Visigoths. It's part of the collapse of the WRE, but yes you are right the narrator says "410 AD the empire falls".

It's not nice to call people stupid, you know. Especially for no reason.
Hmm, has history been changed? I thought WRE fell in 476AD... And since when are the visigoths dirty, smelly stupid thugs?
Oh well, first wanted to watch it but reading your judgements I refrain. Just hate it when oversimplyfied stereotypical clichees are sold as beeing real history. those airheads ..
