Episode 16 Copycats

'Welcome to Copycats, with your hosts Sam and Mark.

'Today's copycats are Curtis's team from Tyne & Wear

'and Dylan's team from County Armagh.'

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Good crowd!

Welcome to the game show where,

a) copying is better than great. It's good.

And 2) the game show where our teams can win the money-can't-buy prize,

-the Copycats trophy!

-AUDIENCE: Oooh!

-Let's meet today's teams.

-Right.

-Good.

-Mm.

-Curtis, plant it there. How are you doing?

-I'm fantastic, mate.

Are you excited to be on Copycats?

Yeah. Can't believe we've made it this far.

-I like you, Curtis. Team, all right?

-EVERYONE: Yeah.

We're going to look at your audition tape.

"Oh, no! It's going to be so embarrassing!"

One day, the secret will be told. One day. They'll see.

Nice. Give it up for Curtis's team, everybody.

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

-Over here, we've got Dylan's team. High fives! Yeah!

-Hey!

-Looking forward to it?

-You bet! Can't wait.

We're going to look at your audition tape.

This is the reason that you guys are on Copycats.

# Many a day I've travelled 100 miles or more

# I saw a lot of sights Sure I never saw before. #

We're the best team!

Best of luck to you. It's Dylan's team, everyone.

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

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

to copy pictures, actions and displays of musical genius.

And each team will face the Copycats Challenge later on.

We tossed a coin, and Curtis's team are playing first.

Let's play Copycats.

Curtis's team, I hope you've been brushing up on your artistic skills.

It's Quick On The Draw. Martin, I've got three cards. You pick one.

You'll then have ten seconds to draw whatever is on that card to Curtis,

and so on down the line.

There is a maximum of 50 points but as we pass it back,

you lose ten points for every incorrect answer.

-Are you ready?

-EVERYONE: Yeah.

Let's close the doors.

-Martin, three cards - yellow, pink or blue?

-Pink one, please.

-Happy with that?

-Yeah.

You've got ten seconds. The best of luck. Pick up your pen.

Ready, steady, draw.

Curtis, your turn.

-LAUGHING:

-Julie, your turn.

Rachel, your turn.

Eric, your turn, mate.

Time's up. Stop drawing.

Very entertaining drawings there.

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

-A rabbit?

-It's not a rabbit. Nice thinking, though.

We're playing for 40 points. Eric?

Lisa Simpson?

-LAUGHING:

-It's not Lisa Simpson. Or any of the Simpsons!

We're playing for 30 points. Rachel?

-Er...a mouse?

-It's not a mouse.

Which means we're playing for 20 points. Julie?

-A kangaroo?

-It's not a kangaroo,

which means we're playing for the minimum of 10 points. Curtis?

-Any idea?

-Squirrel.

-Ah! It's not! Do you want to tell him, Martin?

It's a monkey.

LAUGHTER

Sadly, you get no points, but give them a round of applause anyway.

-Fergal, we've got blue and yellow.

-I'll go for the blue.

-Have a look.

-All right. OK.

-You look confident.

Best of luck, Fergal.

Ready, steady, draw.

Ten seconds. Not a long time.

OK, Dylan.

Amanda.

Larissa.

Very good copying, guys.

Stop drawing!

Nobody can argue that that was very good copying.

-But, for the maximum of 50 points, Katie, what is the answer?

-A fork?

It's a big fork! Unfortunately, it's not the answer.

For 40 points, what's Larissa drawn?

-Is it a robot?

-Get in there! It's a robot!

You get yourselves off the mark with 40 points, well done!

After Quick On The Draw are Curtis's team the king of the swingers?

# The jungle VIP #

Dylan's team haven't made a "Wally" of themselves.

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

'After Quick On The Draw, Curtis's team have no points.

'Dylan's team have 40 points.'

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

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

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

Dylan's team, so you don't peek, we're sending you off.

-You are coming back. Say goodbye to Dylan's team.

-Bye, Dylan's team!

He's like, "I don't want to go!"

Curtis, you need to select three people to face the furious Copycats Challenge.

Before you do, let's see what's in store. Mr D, what could it be?

'An image of a coloured tube will be displayed.

'Players place a ball in the tube and catch it as it exits.

'Ten points will be awarded for every successful catch.'

Here we go, team. In three, two, one... Roll.

It's a black one.

'Curtis, puts it in one end.

'Can he catch it? Not quite!

'Next is Henry.

'Down to the yellow. Catch it at the other end.

'Yes! Well done. Next, it's Martin.

'For the red tube. Puts it in one end, catches it at the other.

'Yes, he does!

'Back to Curtis. Round to the other end.

'Oh! Very nearly. Henry next.

'Very steep angle. Ball goes through very quickly.

'Martin, how'll you do with the green?

'Oh! Butter fingers!

'Next.

'Curtis. Drops it before he gets it in!

'That's not allowed.

'On to Henry. Yep. Yes.

'Ooh! Very close! Come on. Black one.

'Very nearly, though!

'He has to go very quickly. Next it's Curtis on red.

'Round to the other end. Not quite!

'Henry, come on. That was nearly there!

'Martin on green.

'Yes! Curtis, your turn.

'15 seconds to go. Quickly as you can. Oh!

'He does move quickly, does Curtis.

'You're not allowed to touch the tube. That one's not allowed.

'Next it's Martin on red.

'Red's an easier angle. Good.'

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

-Nice one! How did you find that, Curtis?

-Very hard!

-It's difficult, innit?

-You look at it and think it's easy.

-Then you do it and it's really hard.

-It's difficult. Well done, guys.

We add those points on after the music round.

Dylan's team need to face the Copycats Challenge.

The points could make all the difference.

The dream ticket to the Ball Room is at stake.

Well done, guys.

Welcome back, Dylan's team.

Welcome to Mime Time. Dylan, I've got three cards. You pick one.

You then have ten seconds to mime

whatever is on that card for Amanda, and so on down the line.

-Any good at miming?

-I'm a star in the making, of course!

We are all right, then! Good luck. There's 50 points to be won.

If you think you know the answer, add a bit more detail.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-EVERYONE: Yeah!

-Let's close the doors.

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

I've got yellowy gold, bluey blue or pinky pink. Which would you like?

-I'll take yellow.

-Have a look at that.

Yeah? Think you can mime that?

Ready, steady, mime.

Open the door.

Amanda.

Larissa.

OK, here we go.

Some good miming here!

Stop miming!

Some excellent copying.

For 50 points, Fergal, what is the answer I'm looking for?

-Someone looking through a telescope.

-It's exactly what it is. 50 points!

Well done, Dylan. Yes!

Dylan's team, you get the maximum 50 points. Well done.

-Curtis, how's your acting skills?

-Very good.

-I'm on grade three at acting.

-Are you really?

-Yeah.

-Wicked! You'll be awesome at this!

-Should be all right.

Pink or blue?

-I'll pick the blue one.

-Take a look, mate.

Reckon you can do that?

Yeah.

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

I like that.

Good copying.

Eric, your turn, mate.

Henry, your turn.

Time's up. Stop miming!

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

Putting some sun cream on.

We need to be a bit more specific. You're very close.

We're playing for 40 points. Henry?

-Putting shampoo on his body?

-No! Oh! We're playing for 30 points.

-Eric?

-Sunbathing?

Yay!

Well done, guys. You get yourselves 30 points!

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Have Dylan's team seen the Ball Room on the horizon?

Nice. Are Curtis's team bathing in their success?

Time to find out the scores. Mr D, what could they be?

'After Mime Time, Curtis's team have 30 points.

'Dylan's team have 90 points!'

Time to get serious again.

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

Earlier, Curtis's team scored some important points,

but did they do enough?

Dylan, it's your chance to add some points to your overall score.

-Are you ready?

-Oh, yeah. I'm ready.

Oh, yeah!

Curtis's team, time to say goodbye. Get yourselves a nice hot drink.

-See ya later!

-Bye.

-Bye. I miss them already.

The results of the challenge will be revealed after the music round.

The points may determine which team wins the ticket to the Ball Room.

Dylan, you'll select three people to face the Copycats Challenge.

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

'An image of a coloured tube will be displayed.

'Place a ball in the corresponding tube and catch it as it exits.

'Ten points awarded for every successful catch.'

In three, two, one... Let's roll.

'Dylan to start. Which is it?

'Black! Round you go.

'It goes through that tube very quickly!

'Next is Katie on the yellow.

'Yes! Ten points for every ball successfully caught.

'Red for Ciara.

'Next is Dylan again.

'Wasn't round there quickly enough.

'Next Katy on black.

'She's doing this one quickly. Better luck next time.

'Green, right up the top there.

'Catch it at the other end. Well done.

'Next it's Dylan.

'In one and catch it...

'Oh! He was there but didn't quite catch it! Never mind.

'Katy, let's see how you get on.

'Never mind. Next, Ciara on black.

'Yes, well done.

'That's a tricky one. Next it's Dylan.

'Through it goes.

'Yes, well caught.

'Katy, let's see how you get on.

-LAUGHING:

-'Never mind.

'Ciara, on the green.

'Yes! Caught on the run! Dylan. Blue.

'Never mind.

'Dropped it! Can't put it back in. Move on.

'Ciara, a few seconds left.

'Yes! Well caught.

'Dylan, let's see how we do with the green.

'In at one end...'

Unlucky! What a way to end it!

Well done. Only one more round to play

before we add those points to your total.

Give it up for Dylan's team, everyone.

Welcome to the music round, Curtis's team.

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

and recreate it using the Copycats kazoo.

Rachel, listen very carefully

cos you'll be the one passing it down the line.

50 points up for grabs. Perfect playing means perfect points.

Could everybody, except Julie, put your headphones on

so you don't hear which song's selected?

Our copycats are ready. Let's close the doors!

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

Blue. Take a look.

-You know that song?

-Yes.

-You do?

-Well...

We are going to play it to get the melody in your head. Here we go.

MUSIC: "Shout"

# ..These are the things I could do without, come on... #

-Got it in your head?

-Got it in me head.

-Pick up your kazoo.

Ready, steady, play.

SHE PLAYS "SHOUT"

Perfect playing.

COPIES THE TUNE, SLIGHTLY DIFFERENTLY

Not bad. Eric, your turn.

PLAYS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TUNE

BLOWS KAZOO, NO SOUND

NO SOUND FROM KAZOO

Ah, no! Not a lot to go on, Martin!

PLAYS THEME FROM "GREAT ESCAPE"

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE

-Time's up.

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

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

Was that Match Of The Day?

It wasn't, which means we're playing for 40 points.

Martin, bless you. You didn't have a lot to go on! Poor Henry!

I hope we're going to have a Great Escape, Henry. Great Escape.

It's not, sadly. Henry, any idea, mate?

Pink Panther.

Great song. It's not, which means we're playing for 20 points. Eric.

-All The Single Ladies?

-It's not All The Single Ladies.

-Rachel, Julie did a fantastic job!

-I can't remember the name!

These are the things that you talk about?

You're so close. You've got the right song.

-Er...

-No idea?

-No.

-OK. Sorry.

Julie, tell everybody?

# Shout, shout, let it all out. #

Let's hear it!

# Shout, shout, let it all out... #

You don't get any points but that was very entertaining.

Especially from Martin down there.

-Pinky pink or yellowy gold?

-Pinky pink.

-Have a look at that.

-You know that?

-Yeah. Think so.

We are going to play it into the studio now. Take a listen.

MUSIC: "Bad Boys" by Alexandra Burke

Bad Boys, Alexandra Burke. Get your kazoo at the ready.

Don't waste any time. Best of luck, Amanda.

Ready, steady, play.

Open the door.

PLAYS "BAD BOYS"

Brilliant.

COPIES TUNE

DRIFTS AWAY FROM TUNE

LAUGHS AND PLAYS DIFFERENT TUNE

I do love this show!

PLAYS RANDOM TUNE

Yeah!

Play anything.

PLAYS RANDOM TUNE

All right! Stop playing!

For the maximum 50 points, Dylan, what's the answer we're looking for?

-The A-Team?

-It's not, I'm afraid. Let's open the door.

For 40 points, Fergal?

Theme tune from Coronation Street.

It's the wrong answer. Let's open the door.

Katie, bless you, what are we looking for?

Pink Panther theme tune?

# Da-da da-da... # It's not that. Let's open the door.

-Lady Gaga, Poker Face?

-It's a good song. But it's not right.

For the minimum of ten points. Larissa?

-EastEnders? I've no idea!

-Go through most of the soaps.

It's not. Go on, Amanda.

-Bad Boys, Alexandra Burke.

-Have a listen.

# The bad boys are always catching my eye... #

Dylan's team, very entertaining, but you get zero points.

Give them a round of applause anyway.

'After three rounds, Curtis's team have 30 points.

'Dylan's team have 90 points.'

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

Which team triumphed and are doing a victory dance to the Ball Room?

The wait is over.

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

I can also reveal that one team got 70 points.

The team going to the Ball Room and playing for the trophy is...

..Dylan's team!

Commiserations, Curtis's team. You have been awesome.

-Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-ALL: Yeah.

A round of applause for Curtis's team!

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Dylan's team.

Time to compete for the fabulous, money-can't buy,

lovely, shiny, springy thing, this - the Copycats trophy!

-Don't touch it!

-All right. Here is the Ball Room.

Dylan, who is competing in the Ball Room?

Me, Larissa...and Fergal. LAUGHTER

Well, let's take a look at 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 cylinder

'before time runs out.'

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

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

BOTH: Blast the balls!

'We need 12 balls of each colour in the scoring cylinders.

'Dylan's catching blue balls, Fergal the yellow and Larissa the red.

'Charging around the Ball Room.

'You can't pick them up off the floor, you have to catch them.

'Catch as many as you can, placing your colour in your cylinder.

'Fergal's doing very well.

'He's very good at catching.

'Once he's completed his, he can help Dylan and Larissa.

'Larissa's doing well. Not far behind.

'Catch as many as you can as quickly as you can.

'Now Larissa can help Dylan

'fill the blue cylinder.

'Don't add them up. Catch them!'

Unlucky, guys.

You didn't get enough balls.

You don't get the trophy but you get Copycats T-shirts. All right?

ALL: Yes!

-Sam.

-Yeah?

-It's the end of the show.

-No?

-We will see you next time. Take care.

-Bye.
