Episode 10 Copycats

Welcome to Copycats

with your hosts Sam and Mark.

And today's Copycats are...

Francesca's Team from Leicester

and Erin's Team from Liverpool!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yeah!

-Hello!

-Hello and welcome to Copycats,

the game show where copying is good.

I have got some very exciting news for you, my friend.

Ooh! Have we won a beauty competition?

No!

We came second.

No, I have got us a job in the soaps!

-Wowsers!

-AUDIENCE:

-Woo!

We have it the big time! Which one?

Corrie? EastEnders? Emmerdale? Hollyoaks?

Not exactly. But we are the new face of Soapy Soap washing powder!

How clean are your whites?

Actually, how clean are your whites? Tell me! Show me 'em!

No, no! I'm not showing you me whites!

-Shall we meet the teams?

-All right!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Francesca, team captain!

-Plant it right there! How're you doing?

-I'm very excited!

Good! Team, are you excited?

ALL: Yay!

Yay! Before we go any further, we're going to get to know you guys.

We're going to do that by taking a look

at your audition tape!

This is why you're on Copycats. Let's take a look.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Les chaussettes de l'archiduchesse sont-elles seches? Archi-seches!

HE QUACKS AND SNEEZES IN THE STYLE OF DONALD DUCK

Thank you very much!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Best of luck for today. It's Francesca's Team, everybody!

Nice one!

Over here, we've got Erin's Team. Gimme a high-five! Yeah!

-Everybody good?

-ALL: Yeah!

This is the reason that you guys are on Copycats. Let's take a look.

THEY WHOOP

# That's why we love banana phone. #

-Banana phone!

-LAUGHTER

Woo!

Please, please, choose our team!

ALL: Yay!

"Please, please, choose our team." And we did!

Give it up for Erin's Team. It's going to be a good show.

CHEERING

All right! It looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

As with every game of Copycats, the teams will take it 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.

We tossed a coin before the show that told us Francesca's Team

would play first. Let's play Copycats.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, Francesca's Team, I hope you've been brushing up

on your artistic skills

because it's time to play Quick On The Draw. Richard,

I've got three cards. You'll pick one

and then have ten seconds to draw what is on the card for Francesca

and so on and so on down the line. Any good at drawing?

-No.

-No! RICHARD LAUGHS

Why did you put him in the front one then?!

-Somebody had to go first.

-They did. Taking one for the team.

There is a maximum of 50 points to be won,

but as we pass it back down the line,

you will lost ten points for every incorrect answer.

Perfect pictures get perfect points. Are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes!

Awesome, let's close the doors!

-Three cards here, we've got yellow, pink or blue.

-I'll go with blue.

Blue. Take a look.

Reckon you can draw that?

-Yeah.

-Nice one.

Best of luck, Richard.

Pick up your pen. You've got ten seconds,

ready, steady, draw!

OK, Francesca, your turn. Not bad at all.

Nice one, Francesca.

Ten seconds is not a long time.

Leah's nodding, that's a good sign.

All right, Sarah. Your turn.

Time's up! Stop drawing! OK! SAM LAUGHS

Wow! Wow! OK! Gabrielle, for 50 points,

what's the answer?

An elephant!

Yeah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Gabrielle, I'm not quite sure how you got that!

That's not the best elephant drawing I've ever seen!

It has five legs!

I was thinking a jellyfish, but then she drew the tail and trunk.

That is a great start, you get yourselves the full 50 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Martin, I've got a yellowy-gold and a pinky-pink.

-Which would you like?

-I'll take the yellowy-gold, please.

Have a look at that.

-Got that?

-Yes.

-All right.

Best of luck. Ready,

steady, draw!

Open the door!

OK, Erin.

Keep watching, Robert, keep watching.

Not bad copying.

All right.

OK. Final ten seconds.

Keep watching, Kathryn.

All right, stop drawing!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

For the maximum of 50 points...

Is it a light bulb?

I think it's what Fiona's drawn,

but it's not the correct answer, I'm afraid.

Open the door. What are we looking for, Fiona?

Is it a hot-air balloon?

Yeah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Erin's Team, you get yourselves off the mark

with 40 points, well done!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, after Quick On The Draw, have Francesca's Team packed their trunks,

said goodbye to the circus and hello to the ballroom?

And have Erin's Team successfully circumnavigated the planet

in the Copycats hot-air balloon?

Let's look at the scores. Mr D, what would they be?

Well, Mark, after Quick On The Draw, Francesca's Team have 50 points

and Erin's Team have 40 points!

CHEERING

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

The game just got serious.

-This is the Copycats Challenge.

-As Francesca's Team won the toss,

-they go first.

-Erin's Team,

so you don't get a peek at what's coming up, we're sending you off,

-but you are coming back. Say goodbye to Erin's Team!

-Bye, Erin's Team!

-See you later!

-Bye!

-APPLAUSE

Francesca, as team captain, you need to select three people to face

the fast and furious Copycats Challenge.

Before you do that, let's see

how fast and furious it is. Mr D, over to you.

The Tubes. An image of a coloured tube will be

displayed on the screen. Players must place a ball

in the corresponding tube and catch it as it exits.

Ten points will be awarded for every successful catch.

OK, best of luck, team.

In three, two, one,

let's roll!

'Match with the colour of the tube you see on the screen...

'Green to start with! Francesca. In it goes at that end...

'Oh, she's missed it!

'Never mind. Leah is next.

'On the blue. Races round...

'Oh, she misses it as well!

'Never mind. Sarah, come on.

'Come on, you can do this. On the yellow.

'Yes!

'We have our first one.

'Ten points for every successful catch.

'It's yellow again, yes, for Francesca.

'Put it in at that end - gently!

'But doesn't manage to catch it!

'Leah... That's white.

'That's a tricky one, look at the angle of that.

'And next, it's Sarah.

'On the black. Puts it in at that end.

'Hopefully catches at that end... Yes!

'Francesca now.

'On the blue...

'Oh! Not having a lot of luck, Francesca!

'That's Leah, on the red.

'Brilliant.

'Sarah. Green. In at that end...

'catch it at the other, if you would.

-MR D GIGGLES

-'Francesca again.

'Round you go...

'Ooh. Well done.

'The yellow. Next it's Leah on the red.

'Red's through.

'And the next.

'Sarah. Come on, quickly. Ooh!

'Now... Oh, no! Dropped it! You can't pick it up again.

'It's in the rules, I'm afraid. So, Mia.

'In the black one, catch it that end. Well done. Running out of time.

'Quickly. Sarah. Oh!

'The white one. HATE the white one.

'Francesca... Time's up, though!'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That was great.

Well done, guys. We'll add those challenge points to your total

after the Music Round.

Erin's team still need to face the Copycats Challenge.

The points from the challenges could make all the difference -

the ticket to the Ball Room is at stake. Well done!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Erin's team. Welcome to Mime Time.

Erin, I have three cards in my hand. You'll pick one

and you have ten seconds to mime what is on the card for Denise

and then it goes down the line.

There's a maximum 50 points. If you think you know the answer,

try and add a bit more detail so the mime gets to the end of the line.

Perfect performances win perfect points. Ready?

ALL: Yes!

Fantastic. Let's close the doors.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Erin. Yellowy-gold, blue or pinky-pink?

-Pink, please.

-Pink.

-There you go.

-OK.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Fantastic.

Best of luck. Ready, stead, mime.

Open the door.

OK, Denise.

All right.

Fiona's nodding. Oh!

All right, Kathryn.

-All right. Stop miming.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Some excellent copying down the line but, for a maximum of 50 points,

Martin, what's the answer?

-Diving and swimming?

-Diving's on the card so it's 50 points!

-Well done!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That's fantastic.

It means Erin's team get the maximum 50 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I've got two cards left - gold or blue.

-Gold.

-Gold. Take a look.

-OK.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Yeah.

-Good.

Ten seconds, best of luck.

Ready, steady, mime.

Not bad at all. Joanna, your turn.

Leah's nodding. Always a good sign.

OK, Leah. Your turn.

HE MOUTHS

Sarah.

Some good miming.

Time's up. Stop miming. Very good! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Good copying. Good miming.

Richard, for 50 points, what's the answer?

Painting your nails.

Yeah! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I kind of wish, Richard, you were in on the mime at some point.

I'd have loved to have seen you polishing your nails. Well done.

You get yourselves the full 50 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

After Mime Time, are Erin's team making a splash?

And are Francesca's team the highest-paid hand models?

-they won't get up for less than 10 grand!

-Really?

-It's true!

Mr D, what are the scores?

Well, Sam, after Mime Time, Francesca's team have 100 points

and Erin's team, 90 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, it's time to get serious once again.

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

Earlier, Francesca's team scored some important points

but did they do enough? Time will tell.

Now, Erin, it's your chance to add some crucial points to your score.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Yes!

-Yeah!

-Sitting there, lovely.

-Awesome!

Francesca's team, time for you to leave. Get a nice Danish pastry.

-See you later.

-Nice.

-APPLAUSE

-Nice Danish pastry.

-I love a Danish pastry. Good, isn't it?

-Me, too.

The results will be revealed at the end of the Music Round

when the extra points may determine which team goes to the Ball Room.

Erin, you need to select three people to face the challenge.

But before that, have a look at what's in store.

Mr D, what could it be?

The tubes. As before, an image of a coloured tube will be displayed.

Players must place a ball in the corresponding tube

and catch it as it exits.

Ten points are awarded for every successful catch.

Best of luck. Three, two, one, let's roll.

To be fair, it's the same sequence of colours as before.

Erin to start with a green.

Will she catch it? Yes!

Off to a good start. Next it's Robert.

Oh, poor old Robert.

He goes back. Martin next, on yellow.

All the way round to the yellow. Puts it in.

It's coming through! He catches it.

Excellent. We have two.

Erin next, on the yellow. Again.

There we are, it rolls through.

Partly covered tubes -

it's difficult to judge when it'll appear.

Reaching up there, Robert. The white is difficult! He runs back.

Martin on the black.

Round he goes. Good pair of hands. Well done.

50 seconds. Very good on the blue.

Robert again. Has to reach up to the red.

Put it in, that's it. Then come round to the other side - ooh, yes.

Well done. Martin on the green.

Puts it in, races round to catch it. Ooh, nearly missed it.

And the next.

Ooh. Yes!

Robert next.

Again, reaches up to the red.

Runs round. Good pair of hands. Well done.

Well caught. Martin next.

On the blue.

Good. High-scoring - we're at 10 already.

On the white - that is so difficult!

Next, Robert.

It's a long way round. Can he catch it? Yes, he does! Excellent.

Next... He's really enjoying himself, Robert.

Martin catches a white one! Well done!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Come over here, Erin.

Wow! I'm absolutely shattered and I was only WATCHING there.

Erin, Robert and Martin, are you happy with that?

-ALL: Yeah.

-You should be.

That was fantastic.

Only one more round till we add the points to your total

because we like to keep the suspense going for a bit longer.

Round of applause! Well done! Awesome!

Francesca's team, welcome to the Music Round.

Joanna, all you have to do is recreate a well-known tune

using the Copycats kazoo, like so.

HE PLAYS BAKER STREET

Do you know that? It was Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty.

-It sounded just like it.

-It did! Thank you very much.

Leah, you need to listen to what Joanna plays carefully -

you'll be passing it down the line.

There's a maximum 50 points. Perfect playing means perfect points.

Could everyone but Joanna put your headphones on

so you don't hear the song.

Our copycats are ready - close the doors!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-OK, we've got blue, yellow or pink.

-I'll go for yellow.

Yellow? Take a look.

-I don't know what that is.

-Oh, dear!

Don't worry, we'll play the song into the studio.

Listen to it, get the melody in your head. Let's hear it.

# Oh, everybody's starry eyed

# And everybody knows

# Oh, everybody's starry eyed... #

Come on, Johanna, you can do it. You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, play.

SHE PLAYS BADLY

OK, Leah, your turn.

SHE PLAYS AND GIGGLES

Wow! Sarah, your turn.

SHE PLAYS "Happy Birthday"

Wow...!

SHE PLAYS "Happy Birthday"

Richard, your turn.

HE PLAYS "Happy Birthday"

Time's up. OK.

Francesca, I'm going to give you a little clue -

just say another answer to what you're thinking!

For 50 points, any idea?

-Erm... "Mamma Mia"?

-Bless you for doing that!

It's not "Mamma Mia", which means we're playing for 40 points.

Richard, what do you reckon it is?

It's obviously not what I think it is.

Yeah, it's not.

Erm... "We Are The Champions" by Queen.

It's not "We Are The Champions" by Queen.

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

-Wham, "Wake Me Up..."?

-What a tune! "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go."

It's not, sadly, which means we're playing for 20 points.

-Sarah?

-Is it "Yellow Submarine"?

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

Leah, you didn't have much to go on.

Any idea?

"Dancing Queen" by ABBA?

It's not. Johanna, do you want to tell everybody?

It was "Starry Eyed" by Ellie Goulding or something.

-Let's hear it.

-I've never heard of it.

# Everybody's starry eyed

# And everybody goes... #

Sadly, that means at the end of the music round,

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

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

I see you're very eager, with your kazoo in hand.

-I'm very keen to get on with it.

-OK!

Well, let's get on with it. We've got a pink one or a blue one?

-I'll take the blue one.

-OK, have a look at that.

Never heard of it.

OK, that's fine because we're going to play it into the studio now.

# No-one, no-one, no-one

# Can get in the way of what I'm feeling... #

-Best of luck to you, Denise.

-Thank you.

Ready, steady, play. Open the door.

SHE PLAYS BADLY

Oh, Robert... Oh, no!

HE PLAYS RANDOM TUNE

Oh, nice!

HE PLAYS HIGH NOTE

SHE PLAYS RANDOM TUNE

Carry on, it's great!

Awesome!

SHE PLAYS RANDOM TUNE

HE PLAYS RANDOM TUNE

Stop playing.

There were some rather interesting notes there, I must admit.

OK, for a maximum of 50 points, Erin?

The Simpsons?

The Simpsons theme tune! It's not.

Martin, for 40 points.

I'll take a chance at "She Said".

Oh, Plan B, nice song.

It's not that, sorry!

OK, for 30 points, Kathryn?

"Single Ladies"?

It is not, I'm afraid. Good guess though.

Fiona, what's the answer that I've got on my card?

"Umbrella" by Rihanna?

Great song, great pop tune, but unfortunately it's wrong.

Robert, I don't know what noise came out of your mouth

but it was incredible!

Any idea what we're looking for, for 10 points?

"Poker Face"?

Oh, unlucky, mate. By Lady Gaga. It is not.

Denise, what are we looking for? I've forgotten, myself!

-"No One" by Alicia Keys.

-Of course it is!

Let's have a listen.

# No-one, no-one, no-one... #

Unfortunately, Erin's team, you get no points.

Give them a round of applause. Just for that note!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

After three rounds, Francesca's team still have 100 points.

Erin's team still have 90 points.

It is very, very close.

-There are only 10 points between the teams.

-Ooh!

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

Which team triumphed over the tubes?

And which team are doing a victory dance to the Copycats Ball Room?

-Nice victory dance.

-Thanks. The wait is over.

I can reveal that one team got 60 points in the challenge

I can also reveal that one team got 120 points.

Which means, the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Erin's team!

Commiserations, Francesca's team, you were so, so close.

You guys were smashing the booth today. Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-Yes.

-Nice one. It's been great having you on the show.

-Francesca's team, everybody.

-Fantastic.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, Erin's team.

Now it's time to compete for the fabulous, money-can't-buy,

limited edition, lovely, shiny springy thing that is this...

-the Copycats trophy.

-AUDIENCE: Wooh!

It's so shiny!

OK, guys, here is the Ball Room.

Erin, who have you chosen to play the Ball Room?

My mum and Kathryn.

-What about yourself?

-Yeah, and me.

Obviously, team captain!

Before we open the doors, let's look

at what you have to do to win this. Look how bouncy it is.

The Ball Room. Players are each assigned a colour.

They must catch 12 of their colour

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

Good luck.

If you're ready, in three, two, one,

blast the balls!

So 12 balls of each colour needed in the scoring cylinders.

Fiona is catching the blue balls, Kathryn the yellow in the middle,

and Erin the red.

How are we doing so far?

Denise entranced by the whole experience.

How many balls are going into the cylinders, though?

Not doing too badly.

On all fronts, look at that.

They're working really hard, inside the Ball Room and outside.

Clapping, applause.

Doing very well.

About halfway there, for each of the cylinders. This is very good.

This is exactly how to play this game. Look, level pegging.

Quickly as you can, girls, come on.

Get as many in there as you can. this is fast and furious.

This is brilliant.

They're all doing well.

We're very nearly there.

The clock has stopped, how have we done?

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Guys, you got the right number of balls in each tube,

but didn't do it in enough time...

I'm only kidding!

Give it to me! Give it to me to give to them!

-Erin's team, you are the Copycats champions.

-Yeah!

THEY CHEER

We got you good, man!

Have you had a good time, guys?

ALL: Yes!

-Excellent.

-Erin's team, everyone. Fantastic.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Can't believe this.

-Go on.

-Only end of the show, isn't it?

-No!

-Hey, don't worry.

-I won't!

We'll be back next time. See you next time on Copycats, bye!
