1. Every tourist to London eventually learns: don't take the stairs at Covent Garden. | AD: 🖼️ Thanks to Displate for their sponsorship! For 25% off 1-2 displates, and 29% off 3 or more (that's a bonus 2% off): https://displate.com/promo/tomscott/?art=6226560147bb6

2. 7:09 When you pass by a quest-giving npc

3. Not sure why you chose the stalker to be the world’s most lethargic person

4. 3:20 remember when Tom said he wouldn't dab, because it would on the internet forever?

5. So dude chasing had list anyway and could deduce where he may be. Wtf is the point. Lame video

6. imagine playing hide and seek with the air tag

7. You saluted the guard wrong, only the RN salute like that!

8. Thanks

9. I like how tom was absolutely paranoid at the start all while Mrwhosetheboss got trapped in the backroom of subway stations

10. Why would you give the sightseeing list to the person who is supposed to track you only with an AirTag? This is a flawed experiment from the outset.

11. This reminds me very much of the board game Scottland Yard….

12. Love wet London

13. All a game these devices allow companies to track people's behaviour use the information to target adverts.

14. "There is no way down here"

    Come on, Tom, why didn't you use your parkour skills?

15. 0:26 You left out a very important piece of info…. If Tom (or any one else) has an Apple iPhone on them, it would warn the person that there was an Apple Air Tag tracking them, and it would give that person the ability to stop the tracking. But I guess that would have made for a very boring video, right? 😉

16. I’ve noticed when I’ve borrowed a friends car (I’ve got insurance to drive any car with owners consent) that my iPhone tells me that I’m travelling with somebody else’s air tag and that the owner knows the location.
    It’s a cool feature, would probably give a thief paranoia

17. London really is very rainy

18. One could argue that had he not have been stuck at the stairs, he could have caught up

19. This is good content

20. no siri said

21. Wrong, Tom, AirTag doesn’t use GPS (15:25).

22. Wrong, Arun, AirTags DO provide “direction”, but you have to be within, X amount of distance from them for it to work…. And you were only briefly within range once as the bus drove past you on the street.

23. This would have been more interesting with Geoff Marshall who knows London.

24. I love the dude who just randomly says YOUTUBE GUY!

25. I have the same backpack as Tom 😁

26. Where can I find more videos like this one?

27. Now in reality (given you have an iPhone) it will alert you that an unidentified AirTag has been following you, giving you just enough time to call the police. Good luck explaining it to the dispatcher though

28. 10:57 I found the frame of tom scott in the thumbnail

29. you are all being stalked; information collected on you ; every last detail. you just won't know; unless you need to be pressured back into submission to it. for your own good ; of course

30. Is there somthong similarly for Android phone,

31. 2 of my favourite tech presenters finally paired together! I hope for more of these types of collaborations

32. The moment I saw he took the stairs at covent garden I knew he was going to die. I did it once, never again.

33. 14:07
    that gopro grab and run part made me cackling idk why

34. 13:19 This one shot has to be one of my favorite things I’ve ever watched on YouTube. The whole bus event seemed like something strait out of a movie!

35. I love that Arun doesn’t even bother to use a phone case, he’d probably drop it in the train tracks and not even shed a tear

36. It's worth noting that in the real world Tom's iPhone should tell him that an airtag not attached to his Apple ID, and not attached to the Apple ID of anyone nearby has been consistently near him. Just incase anyone is worried about actually being stalked with an AirTag. While still possible there are some features that try to prevent it. Great video idea nonetheless!

37. Speedrunner vs Hunter IRL!!!!!!!!!!!

38. Lazy me would just have gone to one spot waiting for him to arrive 😂

39. "I'm still wearing a stupid hat aren't I?"
    No honey you're still wearing a stupid FFP2 mask 🤣

40. The collab we didn't know we wanted

41. Saying enjoy the parakeets to anyone who recognises me from now on

42. this felt like the amazing race!

43. If Taskmaster ever does a YouTube edition you two would be great.

44. You offering the camera-person a slice of carrot cake was great.

45. Doesn't the air tag alert you if you move with an air tag that is not registered to your phone?

46. There’s no chocolate in white chocolate

47. À

48. Hardly realistic when you know you're being stalked and the stalker has a list of your itinerary 🤔😜

49. Tom wearing a KN95 when no one else is. Confirmed Tom is a lib

50. This is really funny!
