Episode 13 Copycats

Welcome to Copycats,

with your hosts, Sam and Mark!

And today's Copycats are...

Chris's team from Birmingham

and Fay's team from Belfast.

Hello!

Welcome to Copycats, the show where copying is good.

Drawing, miming, or playing the kazoo,

the better you copy, the more points you get.

Nowhere else on the planet right now are two groups of people

so eager to compete for the ultimate prize - the Copycats trophy!

AUDIENCE: Woo!

-Let's meet the teams before we get too excited.

-Let's do it!

Chris's team captain. Put it there. How are you?

I'm a bit nervous, but otherwise, great.

Don't be nervous. It's all good fun. Don't worry.

We're going to get to know you guys a bit better.

We'll do that by looking at your audition tape.

This is the reason you guys are on Copycats. Take a look.

# Oh, I'm no-one's wife but

# Ooh, I love my life... #

Woo!

All right!

I love this move!

Yeah! Awesome. Best of luck for today. Chris's team, everybody!

All right. And here we've got Fay's team.

High-five! Yeah!

Yeah! Everybody feeling good?

Before we have a bit of a chat, we'll look at your audition tape.

-Yo!

-You ain't seen it yet! You might not be saying that after this!

Let's have a look.

# Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter

# Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my parade. #

BIRD WHISTLE

That was brilliant!

Especially, I especially like Valentine, show me how you did that.

CHIRPS LIKE A BIRD

Is there something underneath...

That's knocked me for six. You'll be great on the kazoo!

Give it up for Fay's team, everyone!

OK. Looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

As always in Copycats, the teams take it in turns

to copy pictures, actions and displays of musical genius.

To get as many points as possible,

each team will face the Copycats challenge later.

We tossed a coin before the show. Fay's team are going to play first.

Let's play Copycats!

OK, Fay's team. Hope you've been brushing up on your artistic skills.

It's time to play Quick on the Draw.

Valentine, I have three cards. Pick one of these cards.

You then have ten seconds to draw whatever is on that card

for team captain Fay.

And so on down the line.

There is maximum of 50 points to be won here

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

Perfect pictures mean perfect points.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-Yes!

Let's close the doors.

Valentine, I've got three cards. A yellowy-gold, a bluey-blue

-and a pinky-pink.

-Got to go for pink!

-Pink for the girls.

-Have a look.

-OK.

-Yes? Got that?

-Yeah, yeah.

Confident. I like that.

-Good luck, Valentine.

-Thank you.

Ready, steady, draw!

Open the door.

OK. Fay?

Right. Karen?

Ten seconds.

All right. Come on, Nikki.

Right, Andy. Use all your ten seconds.

OK. Stop drawing!

It kind of morphed into different things across the line.

-But for a maximum of 50 points?

-A shark.

Unfortunately, it's not what we're after.

-Andy for 40 points, what's Nikki drawn?

-A whale?

-It's not a whale.

OK. For 30 points?

-A dolphin.

-That's wrong, I'm afraid. For 20 points?

Some kind of octopus of some kind?

-A jellyfish!

-It's not an octopus or a jellyfish. Open the door.

Finally for ten points. Come on!

-A surfboard?

-Yes!

That means, Fay, you get yourselves off the mark. Ten points. Well done!

-Leah, pick a card. Blue or yellow?

-Blue.

-Take a look.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-Yep.

OK, best of luck.

Ten seconds. Ready, steady, draw.

Chris, your turn. Go!

OK.

Chris, your turn.

Amy, your turn.

Time's up. Stop drawing.

All right.

Interesting one, this.

Elena-Marie, for 50 points, what is the answer?

-Is it a tent?

-Yes!

All right! Brilliant, guys.

You've got yourselves 50 points!

After Quick on the Draw are Fay's team heading for a wipe-out?

-Cowabunga, dude!

-Excellent.

And a small camp site for Chris's team.

Too "tense"! Let's find out the scores. Mr D, what could they be?

Well, after Quick on the Draw,

Chris's team have 50 points

and Fay's team have ten points.

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

Yes! The game just got serious. This is the Copycats Challenge.

As Fay's team won the toss, they will go first.

Chris's team, so you don't sneak a peek at what's in store,

we'll send you off for a bit. Get a coffee or tea.

See you later. Bye!

Bye! OK, Fay, as team captain,

you'll select three people to face the mind-blowing Copycats Challenge.

Before you do, let's find out what's in store. Mr D, tell us will you?

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.

Three, two, one, slide!

They're looking at the screen to see how the puzzle should look

at the end of the game.

You don't have to complete the puzzle, but if you do, it helps.

Ten points for every square in the right place when time runs out.

You can't crawl across the puzzle,

so you have to talk to each other

to achieve your aims.

Andy, stretching across the puzzle.

Quick as you can, guys.

A minute now.

One minute left, guys.

Quite a few in the right place.

To achieve your aims, you have to move the others round too.

Three yellows in place

at the bottom there. Very good.

A lot of movement.

Getting advice from the sidelines, which also helps.

Good news.

35 seconds.

Get the yellow in the top corner.

Directing operations.

On his side of the puzzle.

Come on!

Quickly!

Still three yellows on the bottom.

Whatever you're going to do, do it fast.

Move that red one quickly. Force it!

Move it!

Ten seconds!

Quickly, guys.

Get as many in the right place as you can

to score points.

Nearly up. Ooh!

All right, guys. I can reveal

that you got ten pieces in the right place. Happy with that?

Well done. We'll add those points to your total after the music round.

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

The points from these challenges make all the difference.

A dream ticket to the Ball Room is at stake. Round of applause!

Welcome back, Chris' team. Let's play Mime Time. Chris,

pick one of these three cards. You'll have ten seconds to mime

what's on the card to the person next to you, which is Mike.

And so on. Remember, we're looking for silent performances.

As usual, there's a maximum of 50 points to be won.

If you think you know the answer, you can add more detail as you go.

Perfect performances win perfect points. Copycats, are you ready?

-Wa-hoo!

-Let's close the doors.

I've got three cards, mate. Yellow, pink or blue?

-Blue.

-The blue one. Take a look.

Reckon you can do that? Nice one, mate.

You have ten seconds. Best of luck. Ready, steady, mime!

Mike, your turn.

Kirsty, go for it.

Amy?

Elena-Marie, go for it.

Time's up! Stop miming! OK!

-Leah, for 50 points, what do you think?

-Cutting material?

It did look like that, but that's not the answer we want.

So we're playing for 40 points. Elena-Marie?

Were you drawing something?

She wasn't drawing. We're playing for 30 points. Amy?

-Sewing something?

-Yes!

Well done, guys. You get 30 points.

Fay, I've got two cards. Yellowy-gold or pinky-pink?

-I'll go for the pink again.

-Pink again.

-OK.

-Yeah? Got that?

-Yeah, sure!

Good luck. Ready, steady, mime! Open the door.

OK. Karen?

All right, Nikki.

OK, Andy.

All right, Emma.

So many things! So many.

OK. Stop miming!

Valentine's doing a little mime of her own.

A maximum of 50 points. Any idea what Emma was miming

and what we're looking for on the card?

Were you wringing out clothes?

That's not what we're looking for, I'm afraid.

For 40 points. Emma, any idea?

Were you washing clothes and there was too many?

Unfortunately, that's not the right answer. Come on, guys.

-Typing?

-It is not typing.

Nikki, what do you think the answer is, for 20 points?

-Writing a letter?

-It's not writing a letter.

OK. You're playing for the minimum of ten points.

I thought it was salt and pepper, you know, on the food.

But I couldn't get this bit. Was it writing?

-Come on, Fay, tell us.

-Sharpening a pencil!

Oh, right. OK. No idea!

That means Fay's team get no points. But give them a round of applause.

So, after Mime Time have Chris's team got it all sewn up?

Have Fay's team run out of lead?

Time for the scores. Mr D, what could they be?

Well, Mark, after Mime Time, Chris's team have 80 points

and Fay's team have ten points.

Time to get serious again. Chris's team face the Copycats Challenge.

Fay's team scored some important points in their challenge.

Did they do enough? Only time will tell.

Chris, it's your chance

to add some crucial points to your score. Are you ready?

-Yeah!

-All right.

-They look ready.

Fay's team, so you don't get a sneaky peek, we'll ask you to leave.

-Bye!

-See you!

-See you later!

The results of the challenge will be revealed after the Music Round.

The extra points may determine which team gets to the Ball Room.

-You're laughing!

-Just life!

Chris, as captain, you need to select three people

to face the Copycats Challenge.

First, what's in store? Mr D, what could it be?

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

will be displayed on the screen.

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

Ten points are awarded for every square in the correct place

when the time runs out.

Best of luck, team. In three, two, one, slide.

They check out the pattern on the screen first.

That's what they have to achieve. It's the same puzzle as Fay's team,

to make it a fair and equal test.

This is a good start.

Plenty of movement.

They have to get as many of the tiles in the right place

with ten points for every one that is in the right place.

Concentration there.

Elena-Marie is directing operations for us.

She's obviously done this sort of thing before.

You're not allowed to crawl across the puzzle.

Back you go!

Good.

45 seconds left!

You can't lift the tiles either. Just slide them across.

Come on, guys. 35 seconds left.

Plenty of movement. Checking the screen.

To make sure they're in the right place!

Lots of instructions.

And speed needed, as well.

Leah gives advice as well.

Not sure it's going in.

Keep moving the tiles around.

Quick as you can. Get as many in the right place. Come on.

Only ten seconds left, guys. Come on!

Time's running out!

Can't see that there are that many in the right place!

Move!

Stop! OK, guys.

Good team work there, guys. I can reveal

that you got four puzzle pieces in the correct position.

Only one more round to play before we add those points to the total.

We keep you guessing on Copycats. Well done.

Welcome back, Fay's team. This is the music round. Karen,

you pick a well-known tune and recreate that tune using this.

The Copycats kazoo.

FANFARE

Nikki, you need to listen carefully to what Karen is playing.

You will copy it for the player next to you.

-And so on down the line. Understand?

-Yes.

OK. As always, there's a maximum of 50 points up for grabs.

Perfect playing means perfect points.

Everyone except for Karen put their headphones on.

So you don't hear what song is chosen.

Thank you very much. Our copycats are ready. Let's close the doors.

Three cards. A yellowy-gold, a bluey blue or a pinky-pink.

-Blue.

-Bluey-blue.

Have a look.

-Is that good or bad?

-I don't know it!

That's OK. We're going to play it into the studio now.

DOCTOR WHO THEME TUNE PLAYS

Oh, I do know it.

It's the old one. Is there a new one?

Get that kazoo in your hand. Don't waste any time.

Karen, the best of luck.

Ready, steady, play. Open the door.

RESEMBLANCE TO THEME TUNE

Nikki?

SLIGHTLY SIMILAR

NO SOUND

NO RESEMBLANCE

MAKES UP HER OWN TUNE

Love it!

VALENTINE PLAY VERY LOUDLY

NO RESEMBLANCE TO ORIGINAL

Stop playing!

Fay, maximum 50 points. Any idea what we're looking for on the card?

-I've Got A Feeling.

-The Black Eyed Peas. Not what we're looking for.

-Valentine?

-Is it the theme from Jaws?

-It is not the theme from Jaws.

-It felt like it!

It did to me as well!

-30 points, Emma?

-EastEnders?

EastEnders. It's not, I'm afraid.

For 20 points, Andy.

Doctor Who.

Doctor Who it is!

That means that Fay's team get themselves 20 points. Well done!

OK. Mike, pick a tune. We've got pink or yellow.

-I'll go for yellow.

-Take a look.

-Do you know that song?

-Nope.

-Nope.

Don't worry. We'll play it into the studio. Listen carefully.

# To ten million fireflies

# Weird, cos I hate goodbyes

# I got misty eyes as they said farewell. #

OK. Best of luck. Ten seconds. Ready, steady, play.

REASONABLE SIMILARITY

Very good.

VERY DISSIMILAR

SHE LAUGHS

Amy, your turn.

MAKES UP HER OWN TUNE

Elena-Marie, your turn.

SOUNDS LIKE THE CONGA

Leah, your turn.

COPIES ELENA-MARIE'S TUNE

Time's up. Well played.

-For 50 points, Chris, what do you think the answer is?

-The Conga?

It's not. We're playing for 40 points. Leah, what do you think?

-It's Mr Bombastic.

-# Totally fantastic. #

It's not, sadly. We're playing for 30 points. Elena-Marie?

-My Grand Skank.

-I don't know what that is, but it's not that.

We're playing for 20 points. Amy?

-Was it New York?

-It wasn't New York.

OK, we're playing for the minimum of ten points. I must say,

Mike didn't know the song, but he did do a cracking job.

-Is it We're Going to Ibiza?

-No!

-It's not, sadly.

-Mike, tell them what it is.

-Fireflies.

-Fireflies. Let's hear it.

# To ten million fireflies

# I'm weird cos I hate goodbyes. #

That means at the end of the music round, Chris's team get no points.

But that was very entertaining. A round of applause!

So, after three rounds,

Chris's team have 80 points

And Fay's team have 30 points.

-Oooh!

-Woo!

There are 50 points between the teams. But -

-and it's a big but -

-It is!

-It is!

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

Which team powered through the puzzle

and which team have a one-way ticket to the Copycats Ball Room? Mark?

I can reveal that one team got 40 points in the challenge.

I can also reveal that one team got 100 points.

So the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Fay's team!

Commiserations to Chris's team.

-It's been fantastic. Had a good time?

-Yeah, brilliant.

Give it up for Chris's team, everybody.

Faye's team, you've made it this far. But it's time

to compete for the fabulous limited edition, shiny, springy thing

-that is this - the Copycats trophy. Get a shot of that!

-Woo!

-You want one?

-Can't have it. They might have it. Here's the Ball Room.

-Faye, who have you chosen to play the Ball Room?

-Emma,

because she's small. Valentine cos she's a fitness trainer.

And me cos I'm the leader.

Yeah! Before we open the doors, let's see what you have to do

to win this!

The Ball Room. Players are each assigned a colour.

They must catch 12 of their colour

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

Good luck!

OK, if you're ready. In three, two, one, blast the balls!

So, who's doing what in the ballroom today?

Left to right, it's Valentine catching the blue balls.

Fay, the team captain, catching yellow. And Emma the red ones.

Not many balls in so far.

They have to catch them in the air, not off the floor of the ball room.

Come on, guys, time runs out if you're not careful.

Plenty of yellow ones going in. A couple of blue ones as well.

Emma a bit behind with the red ones.

Fay's doing really well. Look at that!

She can catch well.

Come on, come on.

Another yellow one caught.

Excellent. Once Fay's caught her 12,

she can help Valentine and Emma.

That's how this game works.

She's almost there.

Blue doing well, too, Valentine.

A lot of work to be done by Emma. Less than 30 seconds.

Come on, girls, you can do this!

Lots of advice from Nikki.

Yes, you're wise to add up, I think you're almost there.

It's the reds we need. Catch those red balls.

Help Emma. She's almost there but not quite!

Hurry up! Quickly!

Yes!

That was good! You did it with seconds to spare!

Wow!

Which means you win the Copycats Trophy!

Here it is!

Put it up there! Put it up there!

-We'll see you next time on Copycats.

-Bye!

-Bye!
