EP 11 Vidcaps
Chateau d If:
I think the date of the leg is Monday Dember 13th. Here's the timeline.
Tuesday, Dec 7th, Teams arrive 9:44 and 9:52 am in Lucknow, Roadblock and Detour, and TBC, 24 hr train leaving at 9:00 pm
Wed, Dec 8, overnight train arrives in Jodhpur, about 11 pm
Thurs, Dec 9, Tower opens at 10:00 am, R & D, late afternoon pitstop
Fri, Dec 10, extended pitstop
Sat, Dec 11, Start Leg 9, teams board at Jodhpur 10:20 am, arrive Delhi about noon, they get flights out of Delhi at 3:35 and 4:45 am next day
Sun, Dec 12, Teams arrive in Istanbul at 6:27 and 8:24 am, they finish the leg same day.
Mon, Dec 13, (if regular pitstop), Start Leg 10, early AM
R&K's boarding pass at Jodhpur had December 11th, 2004 on it. So that forced the insertion of an extended pitstop in Jodhpur.

Hey, I think I finally solved one mystery - and this ep is going to be full of mysteries!
The cab shot of Joyce and Uchenna is at night and they are wearing their heavy jackets. It has been edited into a sequence set in London with Joyce saying "I don't know any Beatles albums."(pix #46). And we have been assuming that this is in London, but the driver is on the left hand side and the camera is shooting from the righthand side of the front seat.
So I think the answer to this little puzzle is that Uchenna and Joyce have just left the pit stop in Istanbul (which would be around midnight or early the next morning while it is still dark) And in the first clue they get at the pit stop it tells them to fly to London and then locate something to do with a famous Beatles Album (the answer being Abbey Road) But they will have time during the flight, etc. to talk to people and find out where they are supposed to go when they arrive in London. So they may solve the mystery but still be clueless of what they are supposed to do.

You are golden!
Of course someone on the way would be able to help them figure it out.

great, gman.
And also about the man with the "umbrella," I think its just another guy standing far away and not actually something that the "Fern" is holding

Don't be misled by what the CBess editors are showing you; they love to mix and match to give you the wrong impression of where you are and what is going on. The shots of Uchenna and Joyce in the taxicab are a good example. Another good example and has been misleading us are the shots of Rob and Amber. Some shots of Rob have him in his red Bosox hat; other shots have him in a dark watchcap. It looks like he starts off with his baseball had on and we have shots of him in some airport heading toward "flight connections" or so the sign says in the background. This I think is where he and Amber are making the big gamble: by taking an earlier flight and counting on making a connection which will get them to London before the others (he learned his lesson in Jodhpur when he joked about getting on an earlier flight which he wasn't aware of and UJ and MG took him up on it and found out that there actually was an earlier flight getting them to Istanbul two hours ahead of RK and RA) If you look up flights on Travelocity or other web sites they will only list the "authorized connecting" flights, but as I found out when travelling around the world for many years there are a lot of flights you can arrange for which are not authorized and if you are late too bad they won't wait for the connection. So perhaps they did find an earlier iffy connection. And the shot of them entering a doorway is NOT the doorway of a Underground train, I think it looks more like a plane door and they still have their red hats on.
Later we see them in London on the tube (yellow circle line?) and Rob now has his dark knit hat on. Which we see him wearing in all the London shots.
No shots of him on the London Eye. Are Rob and Amber ahead or behind the others? I think that they are ahead since they seem to get to the ROADBLOCK at the Millinenum Dome before the others.
So far it looks like this to me (for now):
Fly to London with the strange clue about the Beatles Album
Locate Abbey Road and clue box
Go to London Eye and sight some marker perhaps on the Globe Theatre which is not far away..
Go to Marker and get DETOUR: (1) Move boats from the Serpentine, or (2) Solve a puzzle from Sherlock Holmes.
Go to some landmark: St. Paul, Big Ben, London Bridge and find a town cryer for the next clue
Go to Millenium Dome for ROADBLOCK CLUE: complete an official bus driver's test. There now may be a time deadline like one hour after sunset or some such.
Go to Pit Stop: Tower Bridge, The Tower, or wherever we have not yet been.
ELIMINATION for the last place team. The Tower would be the appropriate place to execute the last place team, don't you think?
