it appears that Channel 4 did not want to be outdone by the BBC,
as it desperately tried to appease the NAZIs, Steven Spielberg's classic 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark,
is rated PG in the UK, which means that it is approved for 'general viewing'
and 'should not unsettle a child aged around eight or older',
but, viewers accused the broadcaster of 'butchering' the
first movie in the beloved Indiana Jones series,
by editing out the iconic
sequence for a pre-watershed audience on Sunday night,
Raiders of the Lost Ark won five Oscars and has frequently
been called one of cinema's greatest adventure films, Spielberg described the face-melting shot, which was created
without using CGI, as 'one of the most amazing effects I'd ever seen', that being the case why on earth did Channel 4 show it before the 9.00 watershed for younger viewers?
