On topic. The show was sensationalising the history during the eighties and nineties, paying less attention to friendlier times before and after. Whilst I agree our rivalry is the best and most fierce in the UK I also believe the BBC did both teams a bit of injustice with regards to how we both got here.

It was probably produced by a rugby fan, who was jealous that the two major population centres of Wales have always preferred football and thus it has finally become the major sport of the nation despite all government action to intentionally hold it back for many decades (let's be honest, our schools are ordered to concentrate on Rugby by this idiotic notion that it is our National Sport, yet between us two alone we always outnumbered the Top 15 rugby clubs attendances).

Also the late kick off is because it is the only Tier A game of the weekend. The Premier League and TV companies consider it a massive highlight of this years calendar. It's the only slot they could put it in and made sure it didn't fall on a Europe week so that it had all the attention, plus the game before was given a 13:00 time slot allowing for a full hour build up to kick off. Our derby is seen as a big date for Premier League's audience.
