What makes Night Owls such an entertaining spectacle? These 200 or so photos from Thursday 5 November offer some clues.
Night Owls is an emotional rollercoaster, with moments of camaraderie, tension, elation, disappointment, laughter and the occasional frown.
The skips, in particular, experience some dramatic emotional swings, gesturing, pointing and urging their teammates towards the ultimate prize – winning the end.
Changing ends brings a welcome opportunity to exchange high-fives, share a laugh and release some of the tension.
But there's one place where nobody plays funny buggers – on the mat. That's serious business!
