Up the Flagpole
Tonight's forecast: clear, cold, scattered pigeons, and a 100% chance of gargoyle disapproval.
OBJECTIVE
Run the Mayor's bloomers up the town hall flagpole.
The drainpipe gets you to the balcony and the pole. Flintwick is perched right beside it, so find him something better to look at before you start.

THE SHOWRUNNER
Good evening, contestants, and welcome to Mischief Night at Hatch Town Hall, where the gargoyle has been guarding the flagpole since 1724 and has never once been thanked for it. Your kit is a pair of the Mayor's bloomers, forty yards of toilet roll, and a bag of birdseed, which the Mayor assures us are all perfectly legal to carry.

| Most-tried move | Persuasion. The gargoyle has been hearing it since 1724. |
| Top style | a departed contestant, style 95: “Through the square, up the pole, and off into the night. The Mayor's bloomers have a new career in heraldry.” |
THE ROOM REMEMBERS
- The pigeons have moved down to the Founder's plinth and sit on it in a fat, smug row.
- Flintwick has tied the halyard at the cleat in an ornate knot, and keeps admiring it.
- Flintwick now faces the drainpipe, one claw resting on its top bracket.
