The teams leave Heathrow and electric taxi to Trafalgar Square where they have to search among some 500 men dressed as iconic red phone-boxes, where only a select number have clues (RI task). The next clue instructs them to travel on foot to Buckingham Palace and search outside the front for the next clue. (RI search). The clue outside Buckingham is where Phil was waiting for teams - it's a Detour and is a choice between something at the Horse Guards Palace if I recall correctly, and the Mess Hall in Covent Garden (art space). I followed teams to the Mess Hall. From here they receive a RI instructing them to travel by taxi into the heart of Soho and find the Queen and Boris Johnson having tea at The Shipping News (RI). From here the Queen gives teams the RI instructing them to travel by taxi to the pitstop inside the National History Museum.
So, not just a detour and a RI or two. There are three RI's and one is an ARI task to search among the men at Trafalgar for the next clue. Some were there for a little while before moving on.
Enjoy TAR33 everyone. Aren't we INCREDIBLY lucky to be able to see another season of this incredible show, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The fact production got teams back to Europe for Switzerland, Italy, Corsica, Greece and Portugal AT ALL is a triumph, and hopefully 34 will see them travel to some other continents later this year. So excited to see this season play out, having been there for the first and a bit of the second leg. What a great cast, very diverse. Again - still yearn for the older couple over 60 - but this cast has several over-40s which is lovely to see after a very young 32 cast.
