Spot on.

The editing is very similar to how they do The Amazing Race. The last two teams to arrive at the pitstop are almost always shown to be in a neck-and-neck dogfight even though they're like 30 minutes apart

Yep! Very true.

He got quite close when Scott was in the Bus

It's acting and exaggeration and lying. Sad to see.

And it wasn’t bad carrot cake =)

The pop up tag obscured the duck so we couldn't see if it actually got the cake. ...was the carrot cake a lie 🤔

This entire second channel is an elaborate scheme to have tax-deductible fun

I was sitting here wondering if they added getting receipts to the rules just to slow him down a bit :D

That carrot cake was a breakout star.

That's a solid identification.

@Mininongg 7:10 *

I've been watching UKposts guy for years now, love him.

The only way it could have been more British is if Tom had said weather instead of parakeets.

that interaction absolutely obliterated me lmao

Exactly. This is closer to a played up, Hollywood type chase sequence which throws their conclusions off. Disappointed by the end but overall fun video

@@LunaSolarysAD they mention that exact thing at the end of the video, saying how if tom didnt know he was being followed, it would have been a lot more difficult. obviously they exaggerated a bit with the title, but they do know and clarify that its not exactly your average stalking scenario.

@@HarryParkin Tom Scott is still at large. He's been one of the London Police Department's most wanted criminals for years, on the charge of flying a kite in a public place.

"Hey you the UKposts guy?"

He said he was bad at strategizing under pressure. Responding to something like a fan saying hrllo in the moment is a very different skill-set and is right in Tom's wheelhouse. Such skills were likely well honed on student radio.

I'll think about that line every time someone gives me the nutrition information for a duck.

Still has the time to ask for the receipt

Is there a google equivalent to this? there was some sponsored content with taskmaster, desiree and google assistant last season, so maybe that could work

Or make it a team task where the team of two has the task, both teams know it is a team task, but they start from opposite sides of london and cannot call one another. So while it is a team task, the difficulty for the chased ones is to not do the same task twice, and for the chasers not to follow the same guy all together

I would be surprised if they don't do this at some point, it's a fantastic task idea

I'd love to see it, but I think Alex Horne decided against doing tasks in public places after series 1. They've already done a few hide and seek or chase related tasks at the Taskmaster house or in a private location though.

@@cloud_appreciation_society He’s against doing tasks involving the public (e.g. the series 1 high-five task) to avoid it looking like a prank show, but tasks can happen in public places if they don’t involve the public, like when Mel went to the Baby Gap.

Now I want a second episode of this where Tom Scott runs around London feeding and identifying birds.

"Tit! That's a tit!"

That's what I'm saying! Tom Scott Plus Birds. The birdwatching episode. I'm convinced Tom can make anything interesting to watch

Kinda reminded me of "Mission Germany" back in the day, just on a much smaller scale. 😅

A show like this already exists called Hunted where people have to out run private investigators. It’s very similar to this

Honestly, this reminded me of Take the Money and Run game show, where the escapers had a bunch of cash and they had to hide it. The tracking team would get their GPS info afterwards, as well as be allowed to interrogate them. If the cash wasn't found, the escapers got to keep it, and if the search team (actual law enforcement people in my local version anyway) found the money, the escapers lost.

If you have Nebula, Sam from HAI made a very similar show and it's great. If you liked this, you'll like the HAI one as well.

There used to be a somewhat similar gameshow in Sweden, back in the days when not everyone had a mobile phone and phone booths still existed in every tiny little town. The escaping team had tasks they had to carry out which would give the chasing team clues to where they were; every Friday they had to call in to the studio from a phone booth somewhere and stay on the phone while the chasing team hurried to get to the right phone booth; and they had the added rule of not being allowed to cross their previous path ever, while having to stay on Swedish soil. It was SO much fun to watch. The silly Mission Impossible vibes and random shenanigans ...

Perfect use of a sit screen with dialogue alternating wonderfully.

well anytime you can claim it, you claim it...

Tom and camera person commenting on the deliciousness of the carrot cake was surprisingly wholesome

This guy is so low iq with his mask

@VaderxG but with airtag is much easier, especially with how accurate this is. That's why many stalker use it these days

Stalkers can’t use this though because it tells the person who’s carrying the AirTag that it’s been travelling with them and it isn’t theirs

@@Nextburjalarab But, if I'm understanding how they work, if the person they're stalking doesn't have an iphone then they wouldn't know unless they found the airtag and knew what it was and then found someone else with an iphone. I guess that'd still be a very risky endeavor for the stalker though, unless there's a way to spoof the account tied to the airtag.

@@Nextburjalarab Only if the AirTag stalkee has an iPhone.

@@RGGeek if they find it they can use I think nfc to figure out how to disable it. If not apple has put up an android app to detect them.

I feel sorry for Arun’s camera person who was forced to take those stairs.

eh to be honest GPS trackers have existed like this for years and are more effective because you won’t get alerted by Apple that it’s moving with you. Nothing’ll change

@@exigency2231 I'm well aware they've existed, but it's still concerning to see so many produced at this price... conflicts just waiting to occur.

I one hundred percent agree, the idea of this is fun and entertaining!

you mean the tv series Race around the world?

YES I was just about to say this

If you're Dutch: Jachtseizoen van Stuktv is a similar concept.

I totally agree!!

I once heard that humans are "persistence hunters". They get their prey by just running them down.

interesting Seems like a good trait to have

proceeds to get tired from stairs haha

Except that Tom is in obviously better shape than Arun.

If there was a longer time limit and no rule that Tom can only take a method of transportation once, I think Tom could do all of the tasks by spending most of his time in the tube

Arun is a boss stalker don't disrespect my boss

you spoiled it

Definetly respekt to the editors, they did a great job! But honesty, this seems like kind of a fun edit to me! 2 hours of footage (plus intro and outro) isn't that much and there was a lot going on, so picking out the funniest moments and piecing them together seems like a fun task to me...

Lmao it's easy af to slap a video together and throw ads into it. Capitalist pigs

It's just two hours of footage and GPS coordinates though.

Funny, I was watching this and thinking - ah, a nice easy editing job! Everything is already in sync!

"Can I GPS Track a Local???"

rip cameramen legs

How many flights is it?

Well, Yes to the series

If you want to see something longer form on a similar concept, Half as Interesting's Crime Spree is on Nebula, which has a 3 day time limit, and various tasks across the US. Some kind of similar "scavenger hunt with a chase" seems like it would be a great weekend thing to do with some friends as well, tbh.

It was oh, do you

Better yet, it was at an automated announcement ...and now I am reminded of that elevator joke sketch

The camera guy was a perfect character for this.

And if you're an Android user but one of the strangers in a nearby house has an iPhone? I pick up their Bluetooth speakers occasionally when connecting devices so they'd be close enough to ping off the tag. They could even stalk me if they wanted to. I'd have no idea because I'm not an Apple user.

@@mydogeatspuke Currently if the AirTag has been away from it's paired device for a certain amount of time (3 days) it emits a sound notifying those around it of it's presence. 3 days isn't exactly great but at least it's some form of protection. Maybe that could change in a software update.

@@GrahamSpeed 3 days is more than enough time to monitor someone going home, note their address when it remains stationary, drive up in the dead of night to check it out, perhaps even take a day to watch someone's goings on and make sure it's the correct target, acknowledge any neighbour's security cameras, plan an entrance, and cause serious harm. People have managed to kill those they have stalked and get away with it with far less information. People used to just be responsible with their belongings and accept that they done goofed if they lost them. All this technology to help people take less responsibility for themselves is just making it dangerous for everyone else. I have no idea how Apple managed to get approval for a tracking device that can only be located by pinging off the devices of total strangers nearby. This is genuinely terrifying in the wrong hands, and it doesn't even take any particular skill to use.

Apple: screw any victim not using our product Plus the speaker can be disabled without much trouble

your phone alerts you to an airtag near you that is not linked to your apple id if it doesn't go back to its home base within a certain amount of time.

@@spacemansabs does it alert you even if you don't have an iPhone though

@@danielmachado9441 If the AirTag moves and its not near its owner it starts beeping rather audibly. Granted someone "stalking" you could be close enough but thats close enough they wouldn't need the Tag. That already makes it difficult unless its placed on a vehicle that might hide the sound. (In this challenge it looks like they were both using the same AppleID, which well, you don't share those) There is also an Apple developed app for Android specifically to locate and alert you to them. They're also bluetooth devices, which is the biggest thing. Apples not the only company that has similar items, but if you're worried about this situation then a cursory glance at Bluetooth will show that some device is always near you.

@@RBRSC > its not near its owner If someone is stalking you, they aren't on the other side of the world.

@@RBRSC the Apple app for Android is awful, it only works if you open it, it cannot work in the background, and it's unreliable at that. As to the beeping, people are already modifying the tags to silence the beeper.

This. I was going to say the same, but a second or two of thinking led me to see how many other folks had had the same thoughts!

There is actually a dutch series very much like this. mostly celebreties of different kinds (singers, actors, online personalites), when the chasers (there's like 3 of em in a van) have to try and catch them. Getting their location once every so often (like once every 30 mins).

There's a british TV show called Hunted were people try and evade a group of private investigators to win £10,000

And before Hunted, there was Wanted, where they had to do challengers and end the series in a phone box they couldn't leave...

@@Gemaco1397 There was a similar show in Sweden back in the late 90s, where a celebrity was trying to track and secretely film a pair of contestants for a week, while they tried to complete daily tasks. There was a phone number you could call to snitch on the contestants.

Half As Interesting has a Nebula original very similar to this show. It's called Crime Spree. It's just a few episodes, but very good in my opinion.
