While compiling this week’s 30 film-related questions, it felt like a good time to do some questions on LucasFilm’s other long-running franchise. The fifth, James Mangold-directed Indy adventure may be a while off yet, but 2021 marks 40 years since Raiders Of The Lost Ark hit cinemas, Channel 4 has been showing all four films on Saturday nights this month, and heck, it’s always a good week to see Nazis being punched in the face.

Once you’ve completed all three rounds, you’ll find a link to a separate post with the correct answers at the bottom of this post. Please do get in touch in the comments and let us know how you did (scores out of 30 as usual this week) and give us any other lovely feedback. Start the engine, Jock!
