Episode 1 Copycats

Welcome to Copycats

with your hosts, Sam and Mark

and today's Copycats are:

Sophie's team from Cambridgeshire,

and Joshua's team from Bedfordshire.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

All right!

Yes!

BOTH: Hello!

And welcome to Copycats the game show where, unlike in a music exam,

copying the person next to you is positively encouraged.

In fact it could bag you the ultimate money-can't buy prize.

You can forget the World Cup, Wimbledon,

even me going to the same school as Michael Parkinson.

It's true you know.

-It is true!

-Yes, even that, because today's teams

will be playing for the greatest prize in game show history.

It is...the Copycats trophy!

AUDIENCE: Oooh!

-Shall we meet today's Copycats?

-Let's do it.

-All right.

APPLAUSE

Sophie, team captain, plant it right there. How you doing?

-I'm feeling good.

-Yeah, all right!

Team, you feeling good? ALL: Yeah!

OK, we're get to know you guys a little bit better,

so we're going to take a look at your audition tape.

GIGGLING

What a fantastic audience, that was better than last week!

APPLAUSE

Well the best of luck for today - it's Sophie's team everybody.

OK, and over here we've got Joshua's team.

How you doing mate?

Yeah, good thanks, cos we're going to win it.

All right! That's a confident start!

Looking forward to seeing your audition tape?

Steve's going, "No, Mark, don't show it!" Got to I'm afraid,

let's have a look.

She's like Michael Jackson!

GIGGLING

When is the best time to buy a chicken?

-Don't know.

-When they're going cheap.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Ha-ha! Best of luck to you. Joshua's team, everyone.

Nice one.

It looks like our teams are ready to start copying

as with every game of Copycats

the teams will take it in turns to copy pictures, actions,

and displays of Musical genius.

In order to get as many points as possible each team will face

the Copycats Challenge a bit later on.

We tossed a coin earlier so Sophie's team are playing first.

Let's play Copycats!

OK, Sophie's team I hope you've been brushing up on your artistic skills

because it's time to play Quick on the Draw -

after saying "No, I've not!"

Here's what's going to happen, Afton.

I've got three cards, you're going to pick one

and you will have ten seconds to draw what's on that card

to the person next to you which is Sophie, and so on down the line.

There's a maximum of 50 points to be won

but as we pass it back down the line,

you'll lose ten of those points for every incorrect answer.

Copycats, are you ready?

ALL: Yes! In that case,

let's close the doors

APPLAUSE

Pick a card, we've got pink, blue or yellow.

-OK, I'll go for blue.

-Take a look.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-I'm going to give it my best shot, yeah!

That's all we ask of you! Best of luck.

Pick up your pen, don't want to waste any time. You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, draw.

SAM LAUGHS

What the heck is that?

OK, Sophie's turn.

It's not bad.

Um...

OK, Joanne your turn.

Charlotte, your turn.

HE GIGGLES

OK, David, your turn.

Times up, stop drawing!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Lucy, for 50 points, what's the answer we're looking for?

Donald the duck?

It's not Donald Duck.

OK, we're playing for 40 points open the door please.

David, what do you reckon, mate?

-Easter eggs?

-Nice thinking, it's not Easter eggs though,

which means we're playing for 10 points.

-Charlotte.

-Headphones.

Good thinking, it's not headphones though

which means we're playing for 20 points. What do you reckon?

Daffy Duck?

HE LAUGHS

Going through all the ducks.

It's not Daffy Duck, which means we're playing for 10 points.

Come on, Sophie.

-Are they fish?

-Fish? It's not fish.

Joanne you just said you think you know what it is now, go on?

-Are they ballet shoes?

-They are!

That means at the end of Quick on the Draw you get no points

but give them a round of applause anyway.

APPLAUSE

OK, Karen, I've got two colours left, a yellowy gold and a pink.

Going to go for pink.

-OK.

-Yeah?

Got that? All right.

Get your pen ready, don't want to waste time.

Ready, steady, draw. Open the door.

Remember, ten seconds is not a long time.

OK, Joshua.

Fantastic drawing.

Remember, not a lot of time.

OK, Jason.

OK, Isabella, try and get as much detail in there...

Ten seconds is not a long time.

OK, time to spare, all right.

Keep watching, Nathan. Keep watching.

Not bad.

OK, stop drawing please.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

All right, Nathan, for a maximum of 50 points,

what is the correct answer we're looking for here?

A frightened person?

Ha-ha! Um, it is not a frightened person.

Please open the door for 40 points.

What has Isabella drawn?

-A dummy?

-It is not a dummy.

-OK, for 30 points.

-Is it a model?

Oh, it's not a model.

Come on, you know this you can get come points here.

Is it a scarecrow?

YES!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Get in there!

You get yourselves 20 points, well done.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Ah!

So, after Quick on the Draw

have Sophie's team landed a part in Swan Lake?

And like a scarecrow have Joshua's team

managed to frighten the opposition?

-Let's look at the scored. Mr D, what could they be? You all right?

-yep.

Well, mark, after Quick on the Draw,

Sophie's team have no points

and Joshua's team have 20 points.

The next round will test our teams' skill, nerve and determination.

Yes, the game just got serious,

cos this is the Copycats Challenge.

As Sophie's team won the toss before the show, they will go first.

Joshua's team, so you don't get a sneaky peek at what's coming up

we are going to send you off but you are coming back

-so say goodbye to Joshua's team.

-See you later. Keep it real!

Sophie, as team captain you need to select three people

to face the mind-blowing Copycats challenge.

But before that, let's see what's in store. Mr D, what could it be?

The Puzzle.

an image of a completed puzzle will be displayed on the screen.

You must copy this image by sliding the tiles into position.

Ten points will be awarded for every square in the correct place

when the time runs out.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Best of luck, Sophie's team.

In three, two, one, slide.

So first, check on the screen,

see what the finished puzzle should look like.

You don't have to complete this puzzle,

but if you do, the more points you score.

10 points for every tile in the correct position

when the time runs out.

Sophie, Afton, Charlotte,

playing this game.

Team members who are not playing, offering advice from the sidelines -

including Lucy there.

Lucy's probably played this game many times.

Could be an expert. Why's she not playing then?

Quickly as you can.

The time flies by.

No crawling over the puzzle, it's not allowed.

You just talk to each other and they're doing lots of that.

Work together as a team,

and you'll succeed.

Come on, keep these tiles moving.

10 points for every tile in the right place remember.

Come on.

Don't delay.

You've got 30 seconds left.

Half a minute left... Oh, a flurry of activity there.

Well done, Afton.

Not sure what that achieved.

It's not bad, actually.

You can see the completed puzzle bottom left of your screen.

And they're not doing too badly, are they?

Which is very good. Ten seconds left!

Oh, bit of indecision there,

black goes up, then the yellow across

and yes, look at the row of yellows at the bottom, very good.

Stop! OK!

Very good! Come over here, guys.

It was very good, that.

I can reveal that you actually got

13 puzzle pieces in the right place!

We will add those challenge points

to your total right after the music round.

Now, Joshua's team still need to face the Copycats Challenge.

Remember the points from these challenges

could make all the difference

cos a dream ticket to the ball room is at stake.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Welcome back Joshua's team - let's play Mime Time.

Now, Joshua, I've got three cards in my hand.

You're going to pick one of these cards,

you're then going to have ten seconds to mime

whatever is on that card

for the player next to you which is Jason, and so on.

There is a maximum of 50 points here

so if you think you know the answer,

try and add more detail so the mime goes to the end of the line

-Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL: Yeah!

Fantastic, let's close the doors!

All right, we've got three card here. We've got a yellowy gold,

blue or pink, which would you like?

-This one.

-OK, yellowy gold.

OK.

-Yeah? Got that?

-Yeah.

-Good luck to you.

Ready, steady, mime! Open the door!

OK, Jason.

Good.

All right. Go on, Isabella.

Go on, Steve.

Good, aren't they?

All right, Nathan.

All right! Stop miming!

I'm shattered watching that. All right, Karen,

for a maximum of 50 points, what's the correct answer?

-He's in a race and winning it.

-Yes, get in there!

Fantastic.

Joshua's team get 50 points. Well done.

OK, we've got two cards left. Pink or blue?

-Blue.

-Blue? Take a look.

-OK.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Yes.

-Good.

You've got ten seconds. Best of luck. Ready, steady, mime!

OK. Joanne, your turn.

OK! Charlotte.

David, your turn.

Lucy.

Time's up!

OK. Afton, for 50 points, what's the answer we're looking for?

I'm going to go for balancing on a beam.

Balancing on a beam? It's not.

Which means we'll play for 40 points. Lucy?

-Surfboarding?

-It wasn't surfboarding.

Which means we're playing for 30 points. David?

Skiing?

We have to be a bit more specific. Very close, though.

OK, we're playing for 20 points. Charlotte?

Snowboarding?

It's not, which means we're playing for the minimum of 10 points.

-I didn't hear what he said.

-He said skiing.

Downhill skiing, snow skiing.

It's not.

-Sophie, do you want to tell everybody?

-Water skiing.

Water skiing!

So, sadly, that means, at the end of Mime Time,

you don't get any points, but give them a round of applause.

So, after Mime Time, have Joshua's team taken gold

in the Olympic, World and Commonwealth Games?

And have Sophie's team broken all records

by skiing up the Thames in a pyramid formation?

Mr D, what could those scores be?

Well, Sam, after Mime Time, Sophie's team still have 0 points,

Joshua's team have 70 points.

It's time to get serious once again.

Joshua's team are about to face the Copycats Challenge.

Earlier, Sophie's team scored some important points in their challenge,

but did they do enough? Joshua,

-it's your chance to add some points to your overall score. Ready?

-Yeah.

LAUGHTER

-Calm, I like that.

-He's calm but calculated.

Sophie's team, it's time to say goodbye.

Go and get a cheese and ham toastie. Off you go! See you later.

Joshua, you need to select three people

to face the Copycats Challenge, but before that,

you get to look at what's in store for you. Mr D, what could it be?

The Puzzle. As before, an image of a completed puzzle

will be displayed on the screen.

You must copy this image by sliding the tiles into position.

10 points will be awarded for every correct square

when the time runs out.

Good luck. In three, two, one, slide!

So, they look at the screen, take in the completed puzzle.

The aim is to get as many of these in the right place as possible.

Same puzzle as for Sophie's team earlier, to make it fair.

An equal test for the two teams.

Quickly as you can, guys.

Time will soon run out.

Jason, who's directing operations.

Well done, Jason. It's exactly how to do it.

You mustn't crawl across the Puzzle itself.

A lot of movement, and advice and instructions from Nathan.

He knows what he's doing.

Why's he not playing the Puzzle, then?!

Come on!

A lot of hard work by Jason.

Got this game, by the look of it.

Pushes the red across so that Joshua can put it in place.

Come on, guys!

Yellow...

20 seconds. Get as many tiles in the correct place as possible.

10 points for each one in the correct position.

Look at this! It's fast, but are we achieving our goal?

We shall find out in a few seconds' time. Come on! Wow!

Go, go, go!

That's it. Stop.

Time's up. OK.

It's harder than it looks, isn't it?

-It's really difficult.

-It is.

I can confirm that you got seven pieces in the right place.

Only one round before we add those Challenge points to your total

because we like to keep you guys guessing here. Round of applause.

Welcome back, Sophie's team. This is the Music Round. Joanne,

all you have to do is pick a well-known tune

and recreate that tune using the Copycats kazoo.

Charlotte, you need to listen very carefully

as you'll be the one passing the tune down the line.

As usual, there is a maximum of 50 points up for grabs,

so perfect playing means perfect points.

Could everybody except Joanne put your headphones on

so you don't hear which song's been selected? OK.

Let's close the doors.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Joanne, got three tunes here. We've got yellow, pink or blue.

-I'll go with Sophie's favourite colour - pink.

-Take a look.

-Do you know that song?

-No.

-No?

Don't worry, cos we're going to play it into the studio!

We'll play it, so get the melody in your head

and then you can recreate it, hopefully. Let's hear it.

MUSIC: "In My Head" by Jason Derulo

Sound familiar?

No...

Oh, dear. Best of luck.

Three, two, one, play!

SHE BLOWS FAINTLY Ohh, wow!

HE CHUCKLES

SHE BLOWS SEVERAL NOTES

SHE REPEATS NOTES

HE LAUGHS

SHE PLAYS "Here Comes The Bride"

Time's up!

OK.

Wow.

Sophie, for 50 points, what do you think the answer is?

-Congratulations.

-It's not.

Thank you for guessing. Come here. Thank you for guessing!

OK. We're playing for 40 points. Open the door, please.

-I'm going to go for Abba, Dancing Queen.

-It's not.

Thanks again. Thanks again for giving it a shot.

-OK. We're playing for 30 points. Lucy?

-911?

No. I don't know what it is, but it's not that! Thanks for trying.

-OK. Dave?

-Yeah?

LAUGHTER

We're playing for 20 points. Any idea?

Was it Swan Lake?

It wasn't Swan Lake.

-Do you want to hug it out?

-Yeah.

-Come on, then. Thanks for trying.

OK, we're playing for the minimum of 10 points.

Charlotte, I reckon you're going to get the right answer.

Eenie Meenie by Justin Bieber.

It's not. Thanks for trying!

It's not. OK, Joanne, do you want to tell everybody what it is?

-In My Head.

-In My Head by Jason Derulo. Let's hear it.

MUSIC: "In My Head" by Jason Derulo

Sadly, you don't get any points,

but I don't care, cos I had a laugh.

Give them a round of applause.

OK, Jason, I've got two cards left. I've got blue or yellow.

He's right there with the blue.

-Any idea?

-I've got it.

Oh, right. We're going to have a listen to it in the studio anyway.

MUSIC: Theme to The A-Team

OK.

Best of luck. Ready, steady, play! Open the door.

HE PLAYS A DIFFERENT TUNE

OK, Nathan.

HE PLAYS A DIFFERENT TUNE

Awesome. OK, Karen.

SHE REPEATS NOTES OVER AND OVER

Stop playing!

OK, Joshua,

for a maximum of 50 points, what's the answer we're looking for?

Was it Superman?

Ooh, it was not Superman. OK, let's open the door for 40 points.

-Karen?

-Living On A Prayer.

It's not the answer we're looking for. OK, for 30 points, Nathan?

-Indiana Jones.

-Indiana Jones, with conviction, but it's wrong!

20 points - Steve?

My Old Man's A Dustman.

Is he?!

-Last time I saw him.

-So's mine! But it's wrong, I'm afraid.

Let's open the door for ten points. Isabella, any idea?

-California Girls?

-California Girls by Katy Perry? It is not. Jason?

-The A-Team.

-The A-Team! Of course!

MUSIC: Theme to The A-Team

# De-de deh

# De-de-de-de, de, de! #

You don't get any points,

but that was a good game. Round of applause.

So, after three rounds,

Sophie's team have finished with 0 points

and Joshua's team have 70 points.

Both teams have tried hard to score points...

What are you laughing at?!

..but we still have to reveal the scores from the Copycats Challenge.

Which team powered through the Puzzle

-and which team have a ticket to the Copycats ball room?

-The wait is over.

One team got 70 points and one team got 130 points,

which means the team going through to the Copycats ball room is...

..Joshua's team!

Commiserations, Sophie's team! Now, listen.

I know that you did DREADFULLY well in the booths,

but there was only 10 points in it

because you did so well in the Puzzle. Have you had a good day?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-Excellent. It's been great having you on. It's Sophie's team!

Joshua's team, congratulations, you've made it this far

but now it's time to compete for the money-can't buy,

lovely, shiny, springy thing that is this -

the Copycats trophy!

ALL: Woo-ooo!

-I get to hold it - it's great!

-Yes!

-Now, here is the ball room.

-Joshua, who have you chosen to play?

-Nathan, myself and Karen.

Good luck to you. Before we open the doors,

let's look at what you have to do to win this. Bouncy!

The ball room.

Players are each assigned a colour. They must catch 12 of their colour

and deposit them in the scoring cylinders before time runs out.

Good luck!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right. So, if you're ready, in three, two, one, blast the balls!

Off we go, then.

12 of each colour in the scoring cylinders, please!

Catching the blue balls, it's Karen. Nathan's yellow and Joshua's Red.

Quickly as you can, guys.

There we are. A yellow one goes in.

That's good. Particularly on the yellow and the red.

Nathan and Joshua working well. Come on, catch the balls.

Don't just stand there!

Quickly as you can.

This is high scoring already. Nathan yellow, Joshua red.

Karen a little bit behind with the blue ones,

although she's now making up for it. A whole handful there!

This is very good.

20 seconds to go. You're almost there. Yellow's finished,

which means Nathan can help the others. You're almost there!

You've done it!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Joshua's team. You did it with half an hour to spare(!)

Really quick. Which means, Joshua, your team are the Copycats champions.

-I think you know what I'm going to say.

-What?

It's the end of the show.

Shut your face, one half of Sam and Mark!

I will! We'll see you next time on Copycats!
