Episode 23 Copycats

'Welcome to Copycats with your hosts Sam and Mark.

'Today's copycats are Dan's team from Birmingham,

'and Sophie's team from London.'

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Hello. Welcome to Copycats, the game show where copying is good.

Sam, about our names.

-We need to make them more up-to-date, like Jedwood.

-Jedwood?

Yeah. I can see it now. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Smark!

# Ice, ice baby... #

-MUSIC STOPS

-Mark, have you been eating cheese?

Loads. A big wheelbarrow full of it.

-Shall we get on and meet today's teams?

-No problem, Smark!

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Dan, team captain. Plant it right on my hand. How are you feeling?

Excited.

-You happy to be on Copycats?

-Yeah.

-Team, all right?

ALL: Yeah!

"Oo-yay!"

Before we go any further, we're going to look at your audition tape.

This is the reason you guys are on Copycats.

Hello!

# We will, we will rob you! #

# I need my chair! #

# Dididididi, oh yeah! #

-Dan's team, everybody!

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Awesome.

Over here, we've got Sophie's team. High five!

-Ooh! Everybody good?

-Yeah!

-Looking forward to Copycats?

-Yeah!

-Looking forward to your audition tape?

-No!

We're going to watch it anyway!

I went to a police station to clean my teeth. That was my only brush with the law.

That was impressive, walking on your hands there.

I can't walk on me feet properly! Fantastic!

-Sophie's team, everyone.

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

The teams take it in turns to copy pictures, actions and displays of musical genius.

And each team will take turns to face the Copycats Challenge,

and a chance to win the money-can't-buy prize

the Copycats trophy!

-Awesome.

-We've tossed a coin and Sophie's team are playing first.

Let's play Copycats.

Sophie's team, I hope you've brushed up on your artistic skills because it's Quick On The Draw.

Mary, I've got three cards in my hand. You pick one of these.

You have ten seconds to draw whatever is on that card to Sophie,

and so on down the line.

There is a maximum of 50 points,

but you lose ten points for every incorrect guess.

-Perfect pictures get perfect points. Copycats, are you ready?

-Yes!

-Let's close the doors.

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Mary, I've got three cards for you.

-Pink, blue or yellow?

-Got to be the blue one.

OK.

-Good luck, Mary. Ready...

-Yeah.

-..steady, draw!

Open the door.

Put some more detail in there! Truly amazing, this is.

Stop drawing!

I don't know about you, but I'm intrigued. Amy.

For a maximum of 50 points, what on Earth has Kate drawn?

-Is it a dog face?

-It's not what we're looking for.

Come on. For 40 points, Kate, what is that?

No real idea. Elephant? With one ear?

A one-eared elephant is not on the card! For 30 points, what are we looking for, Josh?

Is it an animal eating something?

It's not an animal eating something.

OK, Mark. 20 points.

-An earring?

-It's an earring!

It is?

LAUGHS

OK, Mark, not only have you got the best name ever,

you also have the best guess ever.

I'm not going to be horrible, Mary.

But that doesn't look like an earring!

It does mean you do get yourselves off the mark. I don't know how.

You get yourselves 20 points!

-Julie, pink or yellow?

-Pink.

-Take a look.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-Mm-hm.

The best of luck. Ready, steady, draw!

Dan, your turn.

Use all ten seconds, if you can. Les, your turn.

Sara, go for it.

Time's up!

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

-A sea snake?

We're going to give you it. It's a snake!

Well done, guys. You get 50 points!

So, are Sophie's team wearing earrings fit for a princess or for Pat Butcher?

Are Dan's team slippery contestantsss? Time for the scores. Mr D, what up, dog?

'Well, Sssam, after Quick On The Draw, Dan's team have 50 points,

'and Sophie's team have 20 points.'

The next round will test our teams' skill, nerve and determination. This is the Copycats Challenge.

-Because Sophie's team won the toss, they go first.

-Dan's team,

so you don't get a sneaky peek, we're sending you off, but we'll bring you back.

-Nice.

-Awesome. Sophie, as team captain,

you need to select three people to face the tough - I'm serious, it's tough - Copycats Challenge.

But let's find out what's in store. Mr D, what could it be?

'The Maze is divided into three parts.

'Each segment contains a ball.

'Tilt the game to get the balls into the holes in the centre.

'40 points will be awarded for each segment completed.'

In three, two, one... Play!

'Sophie's segment first.

'There are some dead ends so take care.

'Excellent. On to Josh's segment.

'Josh gets the best view to direct the others.

'You talk to each other, explain what's going on.

'You've only got 20 seconds. Ooh!

'On to Kate's section. Got to move now. Come on.

'Avoid the dead ends.'

AUDIENCE COUNTS DOWN TIME

'Almost there.

'But not quite!'

-APPLAUSE

-Come on over!

You did really well there.

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

These points could make all the difference

because the dream ticket to the Ball Room is at stake.

Sophie's team, everyone.

Welcome back, Dan's team. It's Mime Time. Dan, I've got three cards.

Choose one and you then have ten seconds to mime whatever's on it to the person next to you.

Remember - silent performances.

There's a maximum of 50 points.

If you think you know the answer, you can add more detail to help you get all the way to the end.

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

-ALL: Yes!

-Come on! Let's close the doors.

-We've got three cards. Yellow, pink or blue?

-I'll go for yellow.

-Can you do that?

-Yeah.

-Beautiful.

I like the confident look!

Good luck, mate. Ten seconds. Ready, steady, mime!

Good miming. Les, your turn.

I think Sam knows what to do.

Sara, go for it.

Daniel, your turn, mate.

Time's up! Stop miming.

OK. Interesting.

Julie, shrugging your shoulders. For 50 points, any idea of the answer?

-I thought a scary cat.

-It's not. We're playing for 40 points. Daniel?

-Is it peek-a-boo?

-Yes!!

You've got yourselves 40 points!

-Sophie, I've got two cards, pink and blue. What would you like?

-Blue.

-Any idea?

-OK.

-You know where you're at? OK. Good luck to you, Sophie.

Ready, steady, mime. Open the door.

OK, Mark.

OK, Josh.

OK, Kate.

Amy's already ready. She's ready!

Stop miming!

It's very tense here in the studio.

Mary, for a maximum of 50 points, any idea what Amy was miming?

-Was she playing tennis?

-Yes!

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Fantastic miming all the way down. You get the maximum of 50 points!

So, are Dan's team hiding from the opposition?

Peek-a-boo!

-You scamp!

-Are Sophie's team Grand Slam champions?

Now, those all-important scores. Mr D, what could they be? I'm sorry.

'Well, Mark, after Mime Time, Dan's team have 90 points,

'and Sophie's team have 70 points.'

It's close, but time to get serious once again.

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

Sophie's team scored some important points in their challenge, but did they do enough?

Dan, it's your chance to add crucial points. Are you ready?

-ALL: Yeah!

-They certainly look ready.

Sophie's team, time to leave. Say goodbye to Sophie's team.

Bye, Sophie's team.

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

and may determine which team wins their ticket to the Ball Room.

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

First, we'll find out what this challenge is. I can't wait!

I already know but, Mr D, tell us anyway.

'The maze is divided into three parts.

'Each segment contains a ball.

'Tilt the game to get the balls into the holes at the centre.

'40 points will be awarded for each segment completed.'

Best of luck, guys.

In three, two, one... Play.

'Dan, Daniel and Sara taking part. Three segments within one minute.

'Dan's segment to start with.'

THEY DISCUSS MOVES

'Quickly! You're almost there!

'Daniel's segment is next.

'Be careful to avoid any of the dead ends.

'Oh, no! Come on!

'Don't take too long over this.

'This is stuck.

'Coordination is what it takes...'

AUDIENCE COUNTS DOWN TIME

'Can't get through that gap. Time's running out!'

Time's up! Sorry, guys. Come over here.

Well done, guys. You did get one ball.

There's one more round before we add those points to your total.

We like to keep the suspense going. Well done, guys.

All right. Welcome back, Sophie's team.

Mark, you are going to pick a well-known tune.

You're going to recreate it using the Copycats kazoo.

-PLAYS TUNE

-Yeah! Bit of jazz for you!

Josh, listen carefully, because you will be copying for the next player, down the line.

-OK?

-Yeah.

-Fantastic. There's 50 points up for grabs. Perfect playing means perfect points.

Could everybody, except for Mark, put their headphones on so you do not hear what song is selected.

-Let's close the doors.

-APPLAUSE

OK, Mark, I've got three cards - a yellow one, pink one and blue one.

-It's got to be blue.

-Have a look at that!

-Oh, dear.

-We'll have a listen, to get the melody in your head.

-Let's have a listen.

-MUSIC: "No Matter" by Boyzone

# ..No matter where they lead

-# No matter how they judge us... #

-Always judging.

# ..I'll be everyone you need... #

Good luck to you, mate. Ready, steady, play. Open the door.

PLAYS "NO MATTER", OUT OF TUNE

Good copying.

PLAYS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TUNE

COPIES JOSH'S TUNE

COPIES TUNE

Great!

COPIES TUNE

-Stop playing!

-MARK LAUGHS

Sophie, for a maximum of 50 points, what are we looking for?

-The Mama Mia song?

-It's not, I'm afraid. Open the door for 40 points.

-Mary?

-Was it When The Saints Go Marching In?

It certainly sounded like it, it really did.

But it's not, unfortunately, what we're looking for.

-Um...

-30 points. Come on!

-I know it's not right but I'm going to say Indiana Jones.

-Great film.

Unfortunately, it's not the soundtrack to Indiana Jones.

Open the door. For 20 points, please, what are we looking for?

-EastEnders.

-EastEnders, it is not, unfortunately.

Josh, great copying.

-Ten points.

-James Bond?

James Bond? It's not. Mark, put us all out of our misery.

No Matter What by Boyzone.

# ..No matter who they follow

-# No matter where... #

-See? It was just like it!

-We enjoyed it.

-We were having a right dance!

Sophie's team, you get no points, but we were all entertained.

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

-It's got to be pink.

-Take a look.

-Oh, yeah.

-Do you know that?

-Oh, yeah!

Well, let's hear it.

MUSIC: "Round Round" by Sugababes

Here we go. That's it, Les. Work it. Work it.

# ..We'll ride still fired on the beat down low

# I don't need nobody but my honeys... #

Here we go! The best of luck, Les. Ready, steady, play!

PLAYS "ROUND ROUND"

Not bad. Sam, your turn.

PLAYS RANDOM TUNE

Sara.

COPIES SAM'S TUNE

-Daniel, go for it.

-COPIES TUNE

Julie!

PLAYS DIFFERENT TUNE

Time's up! Stop the madness!

OK, Dan, 50 points, any idea of the answer we're looking for?

-Is This The Way To Amarillo?

-It's not, sadly.

Which means we're playing for 40 points. Julie, what do you think?

Another One Bites The Dust?

Ooh, it's not, which means we're playing for 30 points. Daniel?

-Conga.

-Conga?

-Yeah.

-It's not Conga.

We're playing for 20 points.

-Sara?

-I don't know. Pink, So What?

-It's not Pink, So What?

We're playing for ten points. I've got to say, Les did a good job.

HUMS TO SELF

-Don't Stop Me...

-Don't Stop Believing?

-Yeah.

-It's not.

-Tell everyone, Les.

-# Round round, baby. #

Let's hear it.

-By the Sugababes!

-# I don't need no man

# Get my kicks for free... #

Sadly, guys, you don't get any points.

But it was very entertaining.

'So, after three rounds, Dan's team have 90 points,

'and Sophie's team have 70 points.'

So close!

There are only 20 points between the teams. It's SO close.

But we have the scores from the Copycats Challenge.

Which team amazed us? Which team are doing the quickstep to the Copycats Ball Room?

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

I can also reveal that one team got 80 points.

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room and playing for the trophy is...

..Sophie's team!

Commiserations, Dan's team. Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-ALL: Yes!

-It's been great having you.

-Dan's team, everyone.

-CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

Sophie's team, you've made it to compete for the money-can't-buy lovely shiny springy thing

that is this, the Copycats trophy!

-I want to touch it. That's great.

-AUDIENCE: Ooh!

Here is the Ball Room.

Sophie, who have you chosen to play?

-I've chosen Amy, Mary and Mark.

-You're not playing yourself!

-No.

-Tactics. I like that.

-Interesting.

Let's take a look at what you have to do to win this. Love it!

'The Ball Room. Players are each assigned a colour.

'They must catch 12 of their colour and deposit them in the cylinders.

'Good luck.'

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

BOTH: Blast the balls!

'Ball Room fans, left to right - Mary is to collect blue balls.

'Mark's seeking out the yellow ones. Amy, catch the red ones!

'Concentration outside the Ball Room.

'Inside, much the same, really. Look at the yellow ones going in!

'Well done, Mark. Stacking them up. A few blues ones in.

'Not so many red ones. Amy, catch up if you can.

'Wow! Mark's doing really well.

'Once Mark's completed his cylinder,

'he can help Mary and Amy with theirs.

'He's pretty well there.

'Well done. That's fast.

'Yes. He's helping them.

'Red one goes in. And another.

'Wow! Careful not to fall over, Mark.

'This is good. Look at the blues.

'The red ones going in as well. I think we're going to do this.'

Reds! Reds!

'As many reds as you can get.

'Oh, green one! Doesn't count. Still room, though, for 12 reds.

'Wow! That was close!'

Wowzers! I've been told that you had, literally, a second left.

But you did it! You have won the Copycats trophy!

Hold it aloft! Hold it right in the sky!

Like a beacon of loveliness.

-Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-ALL: Yes!

-We'll see you next time on Copycats!

-Bye!
