People are losing their minds because a beloved Christmas classic is on before Christmas

Paul Moore

It’s sick and wrong.

*Raiders of the Lost Ark. If it is there, on TV, then it is something that man was not meant to disturb. Christmas laziness on the couch has always surrounded it. It’s a film that’s so good that it’s not of this earth.

In fact, if it’s on TV before Christmas Day then just take Indiana’s advice when he said: “Marion, don’t look at it. Shut your eyes, Marion. Don’t look at it, no matter what happens!”

Well, the BBC has decided to commit cinematic blasphemy and air one of – if not THE – greatest adventure film of all time before Christmas…at 13:45…on a WEDNESDAY!

We’ve our own conspiracy theory. Perhaps Belloq has somehow managed to come back from the dead and he’s now in control of the BBC and is doing his best to ruin Christmas?

Maybe the person in charge of the BBC scheduling had a staff that’s a few inches too short and they’re digging broadcasting in the wrong slot?

Either way, it’s weird as f**k.

To paraphrase the immortal words of Indy, “Midday. Why’d it have to be midday?

*Kudos if you knew that this entire sentence is ripping off Brody’s iconic speech.
