Can anyone help with the Radio Times Christmas cryptic crossword? (lemmy.world)

For the regulars this ought to be easier than your usual broadsheet cryptic, and I believe I've completed it, am just mystified as to how some of the clues are supposed to work..

34a A posh car taking carriers outside department store

_ A _ R _ D _

So for this I had "Harrods". So "department store". The "posh car" is rolls royce giving the RR. But I'm lost as to how the remaining letters on the poster (HAODS) are "carriers". It almost seems like a typo for HANDS, which would make sense, but obviously doesn't give Harrods, or anything else that makes sense

Help? An I missing something or is this a mistake by the setter?

Hmm, good attempt but you'd still be missing an L if it were that?

Damn it, you're right!
