Episode 25 Copycats

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

'And today's Copycats are...

'Jaren's team from Manchester

'and Darcy's team from Telford.'

AUDIENCE AND PLAYERS CHEER

-Hello!

-And welcome to Copycats,

-the game show where copying is good -

-Mark, have you heard the bad news?

-No.

-Well, the production team are a bit strapped for cash,

so they want us to give back our brand-new suits

so they can pay for the ultimate money-can't-buy Copycats trophy.

AUDIENCE GOES "OOH!"

-You're kidding me!

-I'm not. So I've been into your dressing room.

-I've given them everything!

-What? My dressing room?

The one next to the picture of Ed Petrie? Oh, love Ed Petrie...

-Er, but my suits aren't in there.

-What?

-No.

Hang on. So if your suits are not in there,

-whose suits have I given away?

-Don't know.

-What's that?

Anne Robinson's been on the phone and she wants her suits back?

-Mark?

-Yeah?

-Anne Robinson wants a word with you after the show.

-Oh, I love her!

-Good! Shall we meet today's teams?

-Come on, then.

-Let's do it.

AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS

-Jaren! Team captain! Plant it there. How you doing?

-Great, thank you.

-Team, are you all all right?

-Yeah!

-Excellent.

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

so let's take a look at your audition tape.

This is the reason you guys are on Copycats. Roll VT!

THEY CHEER AND SHOUT

THEY LAUGH

Two drums and a cymbal fall off a building.

HE MAKES DRUM/CYMBAL "END OF JOKE" SOUND

THEY CHEER

Yay!

All right!

Jaren, you've got some moves, man! Me and you have a chat

-after the show, teach me some moves?

-Yeah.

-Awesome.

The best of luck for today. It's Jaren's team, everybody!

AUDIENCE CHEERS

But over here we've got Darcy's team. High-five! Yeah!

-Looking forward to it, guys?

-Yes, we are!

That is what we like to hear. Let's look at your audition tape.

"Oh, no," Darcy says. Oh, yes, Darcy. Here it is.

THEY CHATTER

I'm really funny and I never shut up.

THEY LAUGH

I always dreamed I'd be on Coronation Street!

That was good! I like that!

That was great. Give it up for Darcy's team!

THEY ALL APPLAUD

It's going to be a good show! Our teams are ready to start copying.

The teams will take it in turns to copy pictures,

actions, and displays of musical genius.

And to get as many points as possible,

each team will face the Copycats Challenge later on.

We tossed a coin before the show, and Darcy's team will play first.

Let's play Copycats!

OK, Darcy's team. I hope you've brushed up your artistic skills,

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

I've got three cards. Pick one, and you then have ten seconds

to draw whatever is on that card for the player next to you,

which is team-captain Darcy, and so on down the line.

There is a maximum of 50 points to be won, but you lose ten points

for every incorrect answer. You ready?

-Yes!

-All right, let's close the doors!

AUDIENCE CHEERS

-Yellowy gold, bluey blue or pinky pink?

-Bluey blue, please.

Have a look at that, mate.

-THEY LAUGH Got that in your head?

-Got it.

-OK.

Ready, steady, draw! Open the door.

OK, Darcy.

OK, Deb.

OK, Alice. Not a lot of time there.

AUDIENCE LAUGHS

OK! Here we go!

OK, five seconds left. Come on.

Stop drawing!

-For a maximum of 50 points, Lochlan.

-A...person.

It's not what we're looking for.

OK. Let's open the door. Jason, any idea what Alice has drawn there?

-I thought it was a jelly baby.

-It's not, unfortunately.

Open the door. Alice, you'll get this.

-Is it a gingerbread man?

-You got it. It's a gingerbread man!

Alice, put it right there! All right!

Yes!

Darcy's team, congratulations. You're off the mark with 30 points.

Well done! AUDIENCE CHEERS

-OK, Jane. I've got two cards left - pink or yellow?

-Yellow, please.

Yellow! Take a look.

-Reckon you could draw that?

-Easy.

-Nice one. Easy!

All right. You got ten seconds. The best of luck.

Ready, steady, draw!

Very good! Jaren, your turn.

Ten seconds is not a long time. Get as much detail in as you can.

OK. Chris, your turn.

Matt, your turn.

OK, Peter, your turn.

Time's up! Stop drawing!

OK!

-Tom, for 50 points?

-Is it a flower?

We have to be a little bit more specific than that,

so we're playing for 40 points. Open the door.

-Peter, what do you reckon?

-A sunflower?

It's not a sunflower, which means we're playing for 30 points.

-Matt?

-Is it a tulip?

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

-Chris?

-Is it a daffodil?

-Oh, it's not a daffodil!

Oh, we're going through the entire garden!

We're going for the minimum of ten points. What do you reckon?

Is it...a bluebell?

Ohhhhh! It's not a bluebell! Jane, do you want to tell everybody?

-It's a rose!

-It's a rose!

-Ohhhhh!

-AUDIENCE APPLAUDS

Sadly it means you don't get any points,

but give them a round of applause anyway.

AUDIENCE APPLAUDS

OK! So, are Darcy's team giving the gingerbread man a run for his money?

# You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man #

And are Jaren's team a rose between two thorns?

It's time to find out the scores. Mr D, what could they be?

'Well, Sam, after Quick On The Draw,

'Jaren's team have no points and Darcy's team have 30 points!'

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

Yes, I've got my serious face on,

-because the game has just got serious.

-Yeah.

-This is the Copycats Challenge.

-As Darcy's team won the toss,

-they will go first.

-So Jaren's team don't get a sneaky peek

of what's in store, we're going to send you off.

Go and get yourselves a nice cordial drink. See you later!

-Bye!

-Bye! AUDIENCE APPLAUDS

-Oh, I do like cordial drinks.

-I like cordial drinks warm in the winter.

-Mmm!

-Anyway, moving on!

-Carry on.

Now, Darcy, as team captain, it is now your job

to select three people to face the mind-blowing Copycats Challenge,

but before you do, let's find out what's in store. Mr D, tell us!

'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.'

OK, guys, best of luck.

Three, two, one, slide.

'First of all, check out the completed puzzle on the screen.

'Copy that image by moving the tiles around.

'Darcy and Alice are on the left, Jason is on the right.

'Lots of discussion taking place, which is not a bad thing

'in this game. Talk to each other.

'Try not to crawl over the puzzle itself.'

-Get 'em all in properly.

-In.

-Oh!

'Move them around. Set up a circular motion.

'That's usually the best way with this sort of game.'

-Push that down, Dad.

-'A minute to go.

'Instructions being given to Dad, and they're working!'

Great teamwork, guys!

THEY CHATTER

'All the yellows are in place.

'Got to be adventurous, though, prepared to take a few risks,

-'move lots of tiles around...'

-Put the yellow down.

-The red!

'..and put them in the right place.

'Ten points for every square in the correct position.'

-Slide them up from the bottom!

-'Deb knows what's needed, it seems,

'but is she right? Why is she not on the team?'

-Great teamwork, guys!

-It's got to be red there.

'We're not far off, though. Look at this!

-'This is amazing.'

-Red one across.

-'Thank you, Deb!'

-Black one up! No. Yeah.

-'Deb can see it.'

-We can do this.

-We're almost there!

-Yes, yes. Black one across.

-Yes!

-Yeah! THEY CHEER

-I can't believe that!

-Amazing.

Now - stupidest question in the world - Darcy, are you happy with that?

Yes, I'm very happy with that.

You should be, because you got a perfect 15 out of 15 pieces

-in the right place.

-Hah!

-AUDIENCE CHEERS

Well done. Now, remember, we'll add those Challenge points to your total

after the music round. Jaren's team still need to face the Challenge.

Those points could make all the difference, because a dream ticket

to the Ball Room is at stake. Round of applause again! Excellent!

AUDIENCE CHEERS

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

I've got three cards here. Pick one, and you'll have ten seconds

to mime whatever is on that card to the person next to you,

and so on down the line. But remember,

we're looking for silent performances.

There is a maximum of 50 points to be won, so if you have an answer,

add a bit more detail to help you get to the end of the line.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-Yes!

-Oh, yeah. Let's close the doors!

AUDIENCE CHEERS

OK, Jaren. We've got three cards. We've got blue, yellow or pink.

-Pink.

-Pink? Take a look.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Yeah.

-Yeah!

No big deal. Whatever. You got ten seconds. The best of luck.

Ready, steady, mime!

Very good! Chris, your turn.

It's good stuff. Matt, your turn.

-HE LAUGHS

-Take a good look, Peter.

OK, Peter. Your turn.

AUDIENCE LAUGHS

HE LAUGHS

Tom, your turn.

AUDIENCE LAUGHS

Brilliant.

Time's up! Stop miming. Brilliant.

-HE LAUGHS

-Very good. Jane, for 50 points,

-what's the answer we're looking for?

-Is he a marching soldier?

Yay!

AUDIENCE APPLAUDS

Chris, you knew it was marching, so you added more detail,

which is what the game is about. At the end of Mime Time,

you get yourselves the full 50 points!

THEY CHEER

OK, Darcy - we've got yellowy gold or we've got blue.

Going to go for yellow. OK?

-OK.

-Yeah? You know that?

All right. Best of luck, Darcy.

Ready, steady, mime. Open the door.

OK, Deb.

Lovely. OK. Alice?

OK, Jason. Jason's nodding. Usually a good sign.

HE WHISPERS

OK. Come on, Lochlan.

OK, stop miming!

OK. For the maximum of 50 points, what's the answer we're looking for?

-Stroking a dog?

-Yes! Get in there!

Well done, mate! Well done!

That does mean, Darcy, that your team get the maximum 50 points.

Well done. Yes! AUDIENCE CHEERS

OK! So, after Mime Time, are Jaren's team marching into the lead

-after that performance?

-And are Darcy's team Best In Show at Crufts?

Let's find out those all-important scores. Mr D, what could they be?

'Well, Mark, after Mime Time, Jaren's team have 50 points,

'and Darcy's team have 80 points!'

Right, time to get serious once again,

because Jaren's team are about to face the Copycats Challenge.

Darcy's team scored important points in their Challenge,

but did they do enough? Only time will tell.

Jaren, it's your turn to add crucial points to your score.

-Are you ready?

-Yep!

-All right!

Darcy's team, time for you to leave, but you will be coming back. Bye!

-Go on, off you go. Bye!

-HE LAUGHS

They're off for a cup of tea or summat.

The results of the Challenge will be revealed after the music round

when the extra points may determine which team wins Ball Room tickets.

Jaren, as team captain, select three people

to face the Copycats Challenge, but before you do that,

let's see what's in store. Mr D, over to you!

'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 will be awarded

'for every square in the correct place when the time runs out.'

-AUDIENCE CHEERS

-Best of luck, team.

In three, two, one - slide!

'Here we go. There is the completed puzzle on the screen.

'That's what we're trying to copy. Jane and Matt on the left.

'Jaren is on the right. It's ten points for every square

'in the correct position when the time runs out.'

-THEY CHATTER

-'Quickly as you can.'

That one!

'Get as many of these tiles on the move. Set up a circular motion.'

That one!

'Get as many in the right position as you can in the time.

'Plenty of advice from the sidelines at the moment.'

-Keep speaking to each other, guys!

-Put yellow across!

'Jane guiding the others,

'moving those tiles around rather quickly.'

Really good. Well done.

'Try not to crawl onto the puzzle itself.

'Back, Jane! Back!'

And again! Down!

'She's doing a lot of moving, though!'

THEY SHOUT

'35 seconds to go. Come on.'

-Across!

-That's right!

'Actually, they're not doing too badly, look.'

-Orange! Get it out!

-Yeah! Move the black one.

'Come on. Time's running out, guys.

-'Back, back, back!'

-Stay off the puzzle!

-'Come on, Jane. Move back.'

-You need to stay on the white bit.

'Tell Jaren what to move. That's how it works.'

Move that one down! That's across!

-Eight.

-'Not long now. Come on.

'Let's get as many of these as we can in the right place

-'to score the points! Come on!'

-Stop!

Stop! Time's up.

Well done. Come over here, guys. Come over here.

That was really good. I got to say, Jane,

you completely took control of the situation there.

-That was decided before we started.

-Well, it worked very well.

I can tell you you got ten puzzle pieces in the correct position.

Well done! Very good.

OK, there is only one more round to play

before we add those challenge points to your total.

We like to keep you guessing. Round of applause for Jaren's team!

AUDIENCE CHEERS

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

All you need to do, Deb, is pick a well known tune

and recreate it using this, the world-famous Copycats kazoo.

Alice, you need to listen carefully to what Deb is playing,

because you're going to copy it down the line. OK?

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

so could everyone except for Deb please put their headphones on,

so you do not hear what song has been selected. Thank you.

Looks like the Copycats are ready. In that case, let's close the doors.

AUDIENCE CHEERS

OK, Deb. We've got yellow gold, bluey blue or a pinky pink.

Which one would you like? She's gone for the yellow.

-Know that?

-Mm.

OK. Well, we're going to play it into the studio right now.

Just get the melody in your head.

-HE MIMES

-# And through it all

# She offers me protection

# A lot of love and affection

# Whether I'm right or wrong

# And down the waterfall... # Don't go, Robbie! I like that song.

-You got it in your head?

-Yes.

-You look petrified!

You'll be fine. Best of luck to you, Deb.

Ready, steady, play. Open the door.

SHE PLAYS TUNE ACCURATELY AT FIRST, GOING OFF A BIT AT THE END

OK. Alice?

SHE PLAYS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TUNE

Amazing!

HE PLAYS LIVELY JAZZ-STYLE TUNE

Oh, yeah!

Oh, yeah!

Great sound!

HE PLAYS FAST, RANDOM TUNE

Go on, Greg!

Let's see what happens.

MARK BEAT-BOXES

That's it. That's it. HE PLAYS RANDOMLY

HE TRIES TO SING ALONG Stop playing! Please!

MARK LAUGHS

Er, if you get this, it'll be a miracle. Not going to lie to you.

-For the maximum of 50 points...

-The Simpsons.

The Simpsons theme tune is not the correct answer. Let's open the door.

Any idea what Lochlan was playing there?

-Match Of The Day?

-It's not Match Of The Day.

Let's open the doors. For 30 points. OK, come on.

-Er, Wallace And Gromit?

-Wallace and Gromit?

Good guess, but it's not, I'm afraid. Let's open the door.

-Jason, for 20 points.

-Is it Coronation Street?

It is not Coronation Street. What's the correct answer?

-Any idea?

-EastEnders?

It is not EastEnders! All right, Deb. Put us out of our misery.

-Angels, Robbie Williams.

-Have a listen.

# And through it all

-# She offers me protection

-HE MIMES

# A lot of love and affection #

Deb, I thought you did a cracking version there.

You did the riffs and everything! But unfortunately,

Darcy's team don't get any points. Give 'em a round of applause anyway.

AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS

OK, Chris, I've got two tunes left. I've got pink or blue.

-Going to go for blue.

-Blue! Take a look.

-Do you know that?

-I'll have to listen to it.

-Don't worry.

We are going to play it. Let's have a listen.

-# Scooby-dooby-Doo, where are you?

-HE MIMES

# We got some work to do now #

Wow! The 1940s version, there, of Scooby Doo. Wow!

I remember that one.

OK. Pick up your kazoo, mate. The best of luck.

You got ten seconds. Ready, steady, play!

HE PLAYS TUNE ACCURATELY

Very good. Matt, your turn.

HE PLAYS TUNE ACCURATELY

Very good! Good face by Peter.

HE PLAYS PARTS OF TUNE ACCURATELY BUT WANDERS OFF

Tom's nodding!

HE PLAYS MOST OF TUNE ACCURATELY

OK. Jane, your turn.

SHE PLAYS TUNE ACCURATELY

Time's up! Stop playing. Very good!

Really good!

OK, Jaren. 50 points - what's the answer?

-Is it Scooby Doo?

-Yeah!

# Scooby-dooby-Doo, where are you?

# We got some work to do now #

Excellent! The full 50 points!

THEY CHEER

'OK! So, after three rounds, Jaren's team have 100 points,

'and Darcy's team have 80 points.'

All right! It's been a good show. There are only 20 points

between the teams. But we still have to reveal the scores

from the Copycats Challenge. Which team powered through the puzzle,

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

The wait is over. One team got 100 points in the challenge.

I can also reveal that one team got 150 points,

which means that the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Darcy's team!

THEY CHEER

Commiserations, Jaren's team. You were so close!

And you smashed the booths!

-Have you had a good day?

-Yeah.

-Great day.

Thank you for coming on. Give it up for Jaren's team, everybody!

AUDIENCE CHEERS

Congratulations, Darcy's team. You've made it this far.

But 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!

-Boingy, boingy, boingy! You can't buy it.

-You can't buy it.

Darcy's team, here is the Ball Room.

Who have you chosen to play the Ball Room, Darcy?

-Lochlan and my dad.

-All right. And yourself?

-Yeah.

-All right! Team-captain prerogative.

Before we open the doors, let's take a look at what you have to do

to win this. Boingy-boingy!

'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!'

-AUDIENCE CHEERS

-OK. And if you're ready,

-three, two, one...

-Blast the balls!

'Here we go! 12 of each colour in the scoring cylinders, please.

'Ball Room fans, that's what we need.

'Great fun, this, but you can't hang about.

'Catch them in the air. Can't pick them up from the Ball Room floor.

'There goes a red. Look at the blue ones! Doing very well, Greg.

'That's Darcy's dad.

'Lochlan in the middle, Darcy catching the red balls.

'Quickly as you can. Ignore the green ones. Oh, you put one in!

'Don't worry about that. It's not a problem.

'You can still get 12 in the scoring cylinder.

'Greg's almost finished, look. That's good.

'So he can now help Lochlan and Darcy,

'which is good news this early on in the game.

'Quickly as you can. Pretty well there on the yellows.

'One more needed in the yellows. That's good! OK on the yellows.

'Just collect red ones now. That's all you need do, guys. Come on.

'Quickly as you can! Help Darcy! Help Darcy! Come on!

'In they go, the red ones! That's good! Almost there.

'That's it!'

THEY CHEER

OK! As you can see, we've got enough blue balls,

we've got enough red balls. But there is a rogue green ball

in the yellow tube. But it doesn't matter!

THEY CHEER

Darcy's team, you win the trophy. You are the Copycats champions!

THEY CHEER

All right! Give it up for Darcy's team, everybody!

AUDIENCE CHEERS Sam, it's the end of the show.

Shut your stinking face, Mark Rhodes!

-No! I've got to tell you.

-Ahh!

-I know, Darcy,

-but we will be back next time on Copycats. See you later!

-Bye!
