Episode 28 Copycats

Welcome to Copycats with your hosts, Sam and Mark.

And today's Copycats are Sophie's team from Glasgow,

and Joseph's team from Gosport.

Hello! And welcome to Copycats, the game show where copying is good.

Sam, I've had an idea of how to increase our profile on the show.

Really? I hope it's better than your other ideas.

-What are you on about?

-What am I on about?

Do you not remember sitting in a bath of baked beans,

singing the Barry Manilow classic Copacabana - ask your mum - idea?

-What? That was good!

-It really wasn't.

Come on then, tell us your new idea.

I've arranged for you to go up in a plane at 15,000 feet

and jump out - with a parachute -

and then go waltzing with Len Goodman. "Seven!"

Have you gone mad?

That is the craziest idea you have ever had.

In fact, it's so crazy... it might just work. I love it!

-Before that, shall we meet today's teams?

-Let's do it.

Sophie, team captain, plant it there. How are you doing?

Great. I'm looking forward to getting started.

-Good. Team, are you all ready and raring to go?

-Yes.

Before we go any further, we'll get to know you guys a bit better.

Let's take a look at your audition tape.

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

I'm not ashamed to say I fancy Mark and that's why I want to be on it.

18, 19, 20!

# Begging you please... #

So, Carole, fancy a bit of my mate Mark, do you?

-What about in the flesh? Is he as good in the flesh?

-Oh, yeah.

Well, the best of luck for today. It's Sophie's team, everybody.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Over here we've got Joseph's team.

High-five. Yes!

-Looking forward to it?

-Yeah.

-We'll have a good time.

-Absolutely.

Before we have a chat, we're going to see your audition tape.

Oh, no, Joseph! No! Let's take a look.

I can do this,

They've got the moves.

All right, give it up for Joseph's team, everyone. Fantastic.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I've got a good feeling about this show.

It looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

As with every game, the teams will 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

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

the Copycats trophy!

OK, we tossed a coin before the show which told us

that Joseph's team will play first. Let's play Copycats.

OK, Joseph's team, I hope you've been

brushing up on your artistic skills,

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

Jeanette, I have three cards. You pick one.

You have 10 seconds to draw whatever is on that card

for the player next to you,

who is captain Joseph, and so on and so on down the line.

There is a maximum of 50 points to be won in this round,

but as we go down the line,

you lose 10 of those points for every incorrect answer.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-Yes.

-Fantastic.

Let's close the doors.

OK, Jeanette - yellowy gold, bluey blue, or pinky pink.

-Which one would you like?

-Bluey blue, I think.

-Bluey blue. Have a look at that.

-OK.

-Got that?

-Yep.

-OK. The best of luck, Jeanette.

-OK.

Ready, steady, draw. Open the door.

HE MOUTHS

OK, Joseph.

Ooh, OK, Laura.

OK, Christian.

It's good copying, guys. Keep it up.

OK.

Finally...

Stop drawing.

For a maximum of 50 points, Marcus.

-A spaceship?

-It does look like a spaceship,

but it's not the answer we're looking for.

OK, open the door. Phil, what's the answer?

-Is it a ghost?

-It's not, unfortunately.

Let's open the door. Christian.

-Is it a dice?

-Yes, it's a dice. Yeah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Which means, Joseph, you get off the mark with 30 points. Well done.

OK. Andy, mate, I've got two cards - yellow or pink.

-Pinky pink.

-Pinky pink. Take a look.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-Yeah.

Best of luck. You've got 10 seconds. Ready, steady, draw!

10 seconds is not a long time.

Not bad, not bad.

OK, Carole, your turn.

Katie, your turn.

Wendy, your turn.

Time's up. Stop drawing. OK, right.

Olivia, any idea of the answer that we are looking for?

-A drum?

-Nice thinking, but not the answer we're looking for,

which means we're playing for 40 points. Wendy.

-A wigwam?

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

-Katie, what do you reckon?

-A mouth with teeth in it?

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

-A washing line?

-Yeah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Very good, guys. You get yourself 20 points.

After Quick On The Draw, are Joseph's team

swinging like a pair of furry dice in a Renault Clio?

-Other cars are available.

-Indeed.

Have Sophie's team been hung out to dry?

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

Well, Sam, after Quick On The Draw,

Sophie's team have 20 points and Joseph's team have 30 points.

-Close.

-It is very close.

-Very close.

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

The game just got serious because this is the Copycats Challenge.

All right. As Joseph's team

won the toss before the show, they will go first.

Sophie's team, so you don't get a sneaky peek, we'll send you off,

but only for a little while.

Go and listen to some Burt Bacharach, will you? Of you go. Bye!

Joseph, as team captain, you now need to select three people

to face the fast and furious Copycats Challenge.

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

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.

10 points will be awarded for every successful catch.

OK, good luck.

In three, two, one, let's roll!

Joseph, team captain, to go first on blue.

10 points for each successful catch. And there's one straightaway!

Christian. Here we go.

Yellow, in at one end, catch it at the other.

Oh, never mind. Phil.

Right, quite steep, this one.

-Oh, no!

-Unlucky!

-Never mind.

-So close. It's tricky.

Back to Joseph,

on the black.

Oh! Christian on red.

Didn't even go in. Never mind.

Phil on green.

He races round to the other end and catches it. Well done.

Joseph, then. White. Very steep angle, that.

Goes through very quickly.

Christian on green. Yes! Brilliant.

Phil. In that end, race round,

catch it at the other. Yes!

So, Joseph. Back to Joseph, team captain.

In it goes. Oh!

Christian with blue.

Yes! Excellent.

We're getting this now. Phil, very quickly round to the other end.

Yes!

Beautifully done. Joseph.

15 seconds to go.

Quickly. Yes! Christian, white.

That goes through so quickly.

Phil, yellow. Gently put in, catches it at the other end. Yes!

Seconds away.

Fantastic. Well done, guys.

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

Sophie's team still to face the Copycats Challenge.

Remember, these challenges could make all the difference.

The ticket to the Ball Room is at stake.

Give it up for Joseph's team. Nice work. Well done, mate.

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

Sophie, I've got three cards in my hand.

You'll pick one. You get 10 seconds

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

and so on down the line. As usual, a maximum of 50 points to be won,

so if you think you know the answer,

add more detail to help the mime

get all the way to the end of the line to Andy.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-Yes.

-Awesome. Let's close the doors.

OK, three cards - pink, blue or yellowy gold.

-I'll choose the yellowy gold.

-Yeah, there you go. Take a look.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Maybe.

I reckon you can do that. OK, the best of luck.

You've got 10 seconds.

Ready, steady, mime!

OK, Carole, your turn.

OK, Katie.

OK, Wendy, your turn.

OK, Olivia, your turn.

Time's up. Stop miming.

All right. Andy, what do you think the answer was?

-Swinging a golf club.

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

-Olivia, what do you reckon it is?

-Playing tennis?

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

Were you hanging out washing?

She wasn't hanging out washing, which means we are playing for 20 points.

Open the door, please. Katie, what do you reckon?

Was it playing rounders?

It's not playing rounders, so you're playing for the minimum of 10 points.

-Carole.

-I thought it was badminton.

-Yes!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done. You did get yourselves 10 points. Nice one.

OK, Joseph. I've got two cards - a pink one or a blue one.

-Which one would you like?

-Blue.

-The blue one. Have a look at that.

-OK.

-You've got that?

Best of luck, Joseph. Ready, steady, mime.

Open the door.

OK, Laura, your turn.

OK, Christian.

Wow.

LAUGHTER

It's like watching Charlie Chaplin!

OK, Marcus. I'm looking forward to this.

Stop miming!

That was amazing!

OK, Jeanette, for a maximum of 50 points, what's the correct answer?

I think Marcus might have been freezing.

It's not the answer on the card.

Let's open the door for 40 points.

-Marcus?

-Trying to warm himself up when he's cold?

Not correct, I'm afraid. Let's open the door.

It's very close.

For 30 points, Phil. What am I looking for?

He was trying to warm himself up by shaking

-and trying to get his blood going and all the rest of it?

-It's not.

OK, let's open the door. Christian.

Was it putting face paint on or something?

It wasn't, mate, I'm afraid. OK, let's open the door.

-Laura, please get this right.

-Were you lighting a fire?

No, he wasn't lighting a fire. Joseph, go on, tell us what it was.

Warming your hands up on a fire.

See? Ah, you said everything except for that.

Unfortunately, Joseph's team, you get no points,

but give them a round of applause.

APPLAUSE

Unlucky, mate.

So, after my Mime Time, have Sophie's team

lost their temper and smashed their racket on the ground?

What? Eh? And are Joseph's team melting like a chocolate fireguard?

Melt responsibly. Now for those all-important scores.

Mr D, what could they be?

Well, Mark, after Mime Time, Sophie's team have 30 points

and Joseph's team also have 30 points.

-So tight.

-Yeah.

-I can't believe it.

OK, time to get serious again

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

Earlier, Joseph's team scored some important points in their Challenge,

but did they do enough?

Only time will tell. Now, Sophie,

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

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

OK, Joseph's team, it's time for you to leave, but you are coming back.

Say goodbye to Joseph's team for a minute.

-See you later.

-Bye!

-Bye! APPLAUSE

Go and have a nap or something.

OK, the result of the Challenge

will be revealed at the end of the music round,

when the points scored may determine

which team wins tickets to the Ball Room.

Sophie, as team captain, you now need to select three people

to face the fast and furious Copycats Challenge,

but before you do that, let's see what's in store.

Mr D, what could it be?

The Tubes. As before,

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.

It's a blue one. Come on.

In at one end and you catch it at the other.

Just like that! Well done, Sophie, team captain.

Olivia next. Yellow.

Oh! Try and catch it if you can.

Andy, on the white. Very good!

Next it's Sophie. The black one.

Very steep angle, this one.

-Yes!

-Hello!

Olivia.

On red.

Yes! This is going well. Andy next.

On the green. In at one end, catch it at the other. Oh!

-Sophie.

-White one's a tough one.

-That's fast!

-Ah. Never mind. Olivia.

In at one end. You've got to be at the other end to catch it.

Next it's Andy, on yellow.

In at that end, catch it at the other.

Yes! Sophie.

Red. In at the top, round to the other end and catch it.

Yes! Olivia.

You've got 30 seconds left.

-Brilliant. Andy.

-This is a tough one.

Very steep, the black one.

Goes through very quickly, but he's caught it.

Sophie.

Comes round and... Oh, no! Olivia.

White. Quickly round.

Oh! Very nearly. Andy.

Not long. Seven seconds left.

Come on. Quickly. Yes!

-Now it's back to Sophie.

-Oh!

Time's up, time's up. Well done, guys.

Well done.

That was great! Only one more round to play

before we add those Challenge points to your total.

We like to keep you guessing on Copycats.

Round of applause, guys.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

Laura, all you need to do is pick a well-known tune

and recreate that tune on this, the now world-famous Copycats kazoo.

Christian, you need to listen carefully to what Laura plays

because you'll be copying it down the line.

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

so could everybody except for Laura now put their headphones on,

so you do not hear which song is being selected?

Our Copycats seem to be ready.

In that case, let's close the doors.

OK, Laura. Three cards here - pinky pink, yellowy gold and bluey blue.

Which one would you like?

-It's got to be yellowy gold.

-Got to be. Go on. Go for that.

-You know that?

-Yeah, I do.

-Right.

We'll play it into the studio for everybody,

so you can get the melody in your head. Let's have a listen.

# Go, Greased Lightnin'

# You're burnin' up the quarter mile

# Greased Lightnin' Go, Greased Lightnin'

# Go, Greased Lightnin'

# You're coastin' through the heat lap trials

# Greased Lightnin', go... #

Yes.

Laura, the best of luck. Ready, steady, play.

Open the door.

LAURA PLAYS GREASED LIGHTNIN'

CHRISTIAN PLAYS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT TUNE

PHIL PLAYS THE SAME TUNE AS CHRISTIAN

Lovely, lovely.

JOSEPH PLAYS A SIMILAR TUNE

He stopped halfway. He thought, "That's good enough."

JEANETTE PLAYS A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT TUNE

MARK SINGS ALONG

Yes, lovely song. Lovely song.

APPLAUSE

-OK, Joseph.

-Is it Reach?

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

-OK, let's open the door. For 40 points.

-Mamma Mia?

Not the right answer.

Let's open the door. For 30 points.

-Was it Shout?

-It wasn't, I'm afraid.

-OK, let's open the door. All right, Phil.

-Was it Bonkers?

It's not, I'm afraid.

-OK, for the minimum of ten points, Christian.

-Was it I Got A Feeling?

I've got a feeling it is very wrong. Laura, go on.

-It was Greased Lightnin'.

-Let's listen.

# Go, Greased Lightnin'

# You're burning up the quarter mile

# Greased Lightnin' Go, Greased Lightnin'... #

We all know the dance,

but Joseph's team get no points,

but I think a round of applause is in order for that one.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, we've got two tunes left. We've got blue or pink.

-I'll go for blue.

-Blue. Take a look.

-You know that tune?

-Yeah.

Good, that's good. That's a good start, anyway.

We'll play it so you can get the melody into your head. Let's hear it.

# Whatever I said, whatever I did

# I didn't mean it

# I just want you back for good... #

-Best of luck, Carole.

-Thank you.

You've got ten seconds. Ready, steady, play.

CAROLE PLAYS BACK FOR GOOD

Very good. Very good.

KATIE PLAYS A VERY DIFFERENT TUNE

KATIE LAUGHS

OK, Wendy.

WENDY PLAYS THE SAME TUNE AS KATIE

Olivia.

OLIVIA PLAYS THE SAME TUNE AS WENDY

OLIVIA LAUGHS AND PLAYS

Oh, Andy.

ANDY PLAYS YELLOW SUBMARINE

Time's up! Stop playing. Stop the madness!

Sophie, for a maximum 50 points, what do you think the answer is?

-Up by The Saturdays?

-It's not, which means we're playing for 40 points.

Open the door, please. Any idea for 40 points?

Take a wild guess. You might get it right.

-EastEnders theme tune?

-It's not the EastEnders theme tune,

so we're playing for 30 points. Olivia.

-A Yellow Submarine.

-That is what you played,

but that's not the answer that we're looking for,

which means we're playing for 20 points. Wendy.

I'll take a guess at Fame.

It's not Fame. OK, which means we're playing for the minimum.

-Katie, any idea?

-Don't Stop Believing.

It's not. Carole, tell everybody.

-It was Back For Good, Take That.

-Let's hear it!

# Whatever I said, whatever I did

# I didn't mean it

# I just want you back for good... #

So, sadly, guys, that means at the end of the music round

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

Right, so after three rounds, Sophie's team still have 30 points

and Joseph's team also have 30 points.

OK, both teams have 30 points, 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?

I thought you were going to dance with me.

-Oh, we can!

-No, forget it.

-To the Copycats Ball Room!

-The wait is over.

I can reveal that one team got 80 points.

-AUDIENCE:

-Woo!

I can also reveal that one team got 90 points.

-AUDIENCE:

-Woo!

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Sophie's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Commiserations to Joseph's team. You've been a fantastic team.

-Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-Yeah.

Everybody, give it up for Joseph's team. Brilliant.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Congratulations. 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!

BOTH: We're not worthy!

Oh, it's so good and shiny.

OK, here is the Ball Room.

Sophie, who have you chosen to take part?

I've chosen my sister Katie and my auntie Carole and myself.

Excellent. OK, well, before we open the doors,

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 scoring cylinders before the time runs out.

Good luck.

OK. If you're ready, in three, two, one... Blast the balls!

So we need 12 of each colour in the scoring cylinders.

Left-to-right it's Carole catching the blue balls,

Katie the yellow and Sophie the red.

Now, remember, you can't pick these up from the floor.

You have to catch the balls whilst they're in the air.

As quickly as you can, put them in the scoring cylinders.

Quite a few in the red and the blue as well.

A bit of catching up to do

as far as Katie is concerned, with the yellow balls.

Plenty of time. Come on. We can do this.

Look at the blue, and the red doing very well.

Come on, Katie in the middle!

As quickly as you can. Don't just stand around there. Come on!

Quickly as you can.

Another yellow going in there, which is good.

Come on. Only ten seconds left now.

-AUDIENCE CHANTS:

-Yellow, yellow!

-Yellow. Absolutely.

Blue is there. That means Carole can help the others. Come on.

Quickly, quickly, quickly!

Ooh!

HORN BLASTS

Ah, guys! You were so close.

You're just two balls short. Can't believe it!

-So that means that you don't get your hands on the Copycats trophy.

-But...!

But you don't go away empty-handed.

-You each get a Copycats T-shirt.

-Yeah!

-And have you had the good time?

-Yes!

Fantastic. You've been a great team. Sophie's team, everyone!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-That is the end of the show.

-No!

-Can you believe it? Don't worry, though.

We'll be back next time. We'll see you on Copycats. Bye!
