Episode 29 Copycats

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

'And today's Copycats are Danielle's team from County Down'

'and Jack's team from Newcastle.'

-Hello.

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

Mark, I've got a little surprise for you.

-I've gone and signed us up to a modelling agency.

-Ooh!

-Yeah.

Modelling agency? Wow! does that mean we get to mix

with gorgeous models, travel first class, the best clothes?

Well, that's the plan, but they said we've to start at the bottom

-and work our way up to the top.

-So start at London Fashion Week

-and then go to New York or something like that, yeah?

-Not quite.

But I've got a gig at the supermarket this week.

-You're a carrot, I'm a turnip.

-Say that again. Unbelievable.

-Shall we meet the teams?

-Yeah, let's do it

APPLAUSE

Danielle, team captain.

plant it right there. Awesome. How are you?

-Very good. Very excited.

-Good. Nice one.

Looking forward to Copycats?

-I was waiting for this for my whole life.

-Really?

That's good to hear. Team, you excited?

ALL: Woo-hoo!

Right, before we start, we're going to get to know you a bit better.

We're going to take a look at your audition tape.

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

How you doing?

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Nice. Looks like a lively bunch. I like it.

Danielle's team, everybody.

CHEERING

Right, over here we've got Jack's team. Come on, bring it on.

Hey, I like that. We're going to see why you guys are here on Copycats.

We're going to look at your audition tape. Let's have a look.

Don't ask how I discovered it.

We're up for it!

We're up for it. That's what we like to hear. Yeah!

Good luck to you, Jack's team.

APPLAUSE

All right, looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

As with every game of 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 take it in turns

to face the Copycat's Challenge and a chance to win the ultimate,

money can't buy prize. It is, of course, the Copycats trophy!

AUDIENCE: Whooo!

We tossed a coin before the show.

Danielle's team will play first. Let's play Copycats.

All right.

I hope you've been brushing up on your artistic skills,

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

Kelly-Louise, I've got three cards. Pick one of these cards.

You've ten seconds to draw what's on that card to the next person,

and so on and so on down the line.

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

but as we pass it back down the line,

you'll lose ten points for every incorrect answer.

Perfect pictures get perfect points.

-Copycats, are you ready TEAM:

-Yeah!

Yeah! Let's close the doors.

It's time to pick a card. We've got yellow, pink or blue.

The pink one.

The answer on the card appears on screen. If you're playing, look away.

-Look back. Are you happy with that?

-Yeah.

-Beautiful.

OK, you've got ten seconds. Best of luck.

Ready, steady...draw.

Time to spare. Danielle, your turn. Use all 10 seconds.

Adelle, your turn.

OK, Dean. Go for it, mate.

Julie-Anne, go for it.

Time's up! OK.

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

Ladder?

It is a ladder! Yeah!

APPLAUSE

It looks more like a stepladder you've drawn,

but it's a ladder. Well done, great start.

You get yourselves 50 points.

CHEERING

-All ready with the pen?

-Yes.

-OK, you've yellow or blue.

-Which one would you like?

-Blue.

OK, have a look at that.

-Right, OK.

-Oh, you seem pretty confident.

-Quietly confident. Well, good luck to you, Amy.

-Thanks very much.

Ready, steady...draw!

OK, have a go.

OK, Jack.

OK.

Make sure you use up all of your time.

All right.

I can't argue with the copying. It's very good.

OK, stop drawing.

OK, for a maximum of 50 points, Patrick,

what has Angela drawn there?

A pumpkin?

It's right, a pumpkin! Yeah!

APPLAUSE

Which means, Jack's team, you get the full 50 points.

APPLAUSE

All right. So, after Quick On The Draw,

-are Danielle's team climbing the ladder of success?

-Mm.

And are Jack's team enjoying some pumpkin pie?

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

'Well, Mark, after Quick On The Draw,

'Danielle's team have 50 points

'and Jack's team also have 50 points.'

-Interesting.

-Very interesting.

The next round will test skill, nerve and determination.

Yes, the game just got serious. This is the Copycats Challenge.

As Danielle's team won the toss before the show, they will go first.

Jack's team, so you don't get a peek of what's coming,

we'll send you off. You're coming back,

-so say bye to Jack's team, everyone.

-Bye, Jack's team!

-Bye!

Nice people. I like nice people. Now, Danielle, as team captain,

you need to select three people

to face the tougher than tough Copycats Challenge.

But before you do that, it's time to find out how tough this challenge is.

Mr D, over to you.

Tell us, is it tough?

-Mm.

-I'll stop saying "tough".

-OK.

'The Maze. The Maze is divided into three parts.

'Each segment contains a ball.

'Tilt the game to get the balls through the maze

'and into the holes at the centre. 40 points will be awarded

'for each segment completed.'

CHEERING

All right.

Best of luck, team. In three, two, one, play!

'Bags of concentration needed in this game.

'The segment nearest Adelle first. She has the best view.

'She can then help the other two with words of advice.

'And that's exactly what she's doing right now.

'Julie-Anne helping as well, from the sidelines.

'Look at that, straightaway!

'Very, very good.'

The other way...

'Over to Dean's section.

'They are talking to each other, which is excellent.'

Yes! Well do... Ooh!

'Now, there are some dead ends to look out for.

'Don't waste time going down those.'

It's all about teamwork.

'A minute to complete all three segments.

'There are only 20 seconds left, guys. Come on.

'Yes!

'And the third section.

'The one nearest to Kelly-Louise now.'

Good work, guys!

'Come on, you've got ten seconds. Are you going to do this?

'You've done well so far. Come on! Quickly, through the hole there.

'Oh, come on.'

APPLAUSE

That was great teamwork.

You didn't get the last ball, but well done. That was great.

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

Jack's team need to face the challenge. Points from these

could make all the difference,

because a dream ticket to The Ball Room is at stake.

Nice work, team.

CHEERING

All right, Jack's team? You did well on Quick On The Draw,

but now it's time to play Mime Time.

Jack, I've got three cards. You'll have 10 seconds

to mime whatever's on that card to the next player,

which is Hollie, and then Max, and so on down the line.

-Are you ready?

-ALL: Yes.

Let's close the doors.

OK, Jack, we've got yellow, blue or pink.

-What would you like?

-Blue, please.

-Have a look at that.

Good luck to you.

Ready, steady...mime.

Open the doors.

OK.

OK, Max.

OK.

OK, stop it.

You're all very enthusiastic. Amy, 50 points,

what was Patrick miming?

He was going for a swim? Swimming?

He was swimming, but it's not what we're looking for.

Let's open up the doors for 40 points.

-Come on, Patrick.

-Diving?

Not diving. You've got to be so specific, I'm sorry.

Were you diving in, swimming the length of the pool

and then having a drink of water and doing it again?

I haven't got enough room on the card.

-Were you doing triathlon?

-No, he wasn't.

OK, let's open the door. For 20 points. Max?

Exercising.

Not exercising, I'm afraid. OK, Hollie?

-Underwater swimming.

-Thank you!

CHEERING

OK. We were looking for swimming under water.

Great job. What was the drinking about?

Swimming.

-Under. Water.

-Ah, good!

He was playing charades.

Fantastic, but it means you get yourselves ten points. Well done.

APPLAUSE

Pick a card, Danielle. We've got pink or yellow.

The pink one. Take a look.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Oh, yeah.

Right, best of luck. You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady...mime.

All right, Adelle. Your turn.

OK, Dean. Go for it, mate.

All right, Nadia. Your turn.

Time's up. OK.

All right, Kelly-Louise, for 50 points, what's the answer?

Playing an instrument?

It is, but we have to be a bit more specific, which means 40 points.

Nadia, what do you think?

Playing the recorder?

It's not playing a recorder.

Playing for 30 points. Julie-Anne?

Playing a tin whistle?

Oh, It's not playing a tin whistle.

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

Playing a saxophone?

Oh, good instrument, good instrument. Woodwind.

It's not.

We're playing for ten points.

-Playing the flute?

-Oh, it's not!

Danielle, tell everybody.

-Playing the bagpipes.

-It was playing the bagpipes.

Obviously, we have to be very specific here.

Sadly, you get no points. But it was entertaining. Thanks a lot.

APPLAUSE

All right, so, after Mime Time,

are Jack's team swimming with the mermaids under the sea?

And have Danielle's team run out of puff?

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

'Well, Sam, after Mime Time, Danielle's team

'still have 50 points and Jack's team have 60 points.'

-Very interesting.

-It's time to get serious once again.

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

Earlier in the show, Danielle's team scored

important points in their challenge, but enough?

Only time will tell. Now, Jack, it's your chance

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

-Yeah.

-Yeah, yeah, I'm cool.

Danielle's team, time for you to leave.

-Go and get a cup of tea, will you?

-One sugar.

-Sweet enough for me.

-Yeah, nice.

-The results of the challenge

will be revealed at the end of the music round,

when the extra points scored may determine which team wins

tickets to The Ball Room.

Jack, select three people to face the Copycat's Challenge.

But first, have a look at what's in store for you.

Mr D, what could it be?

'The Maze.

'As before, The Maze is divided into three parts.

'Each segment contains a ball.

'Tilt the game to get the balls through the maze

'and into the centre.

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

APPLAUSE

OK, three, two, one, play!

'So, it's Jack, Max and Hollie playing this game.

'Jack's segment first.'

Move it down, move it down.

'Team captain, very much in charge.'

Back that way.

Move it down, down.

'Words of wisdom and advice.'

'It's going towards the middle.

'It's almost there... And it's there!

APPLAUSE

'This is fast.

'If you get all three balls in their places, before the time is up,

'you get an extra 30 points as a bonus.

'This is Max's section, he's not far off the middle.

'And he's there! This is very good!'

On to Hollie's section now.

Come on, Hollie!

'Everybody shouting, "Come on, we need you to do this."

'15 seconds to get to the middle.

SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

'The gap is on that side, you're right.

'In towards the middle, come on!

'You can do this!

'Five, four, three...

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Woo-hoo-hoo!

-Yes!

Oh! Well, I was going to ask you, "Are you happy about that?"

But that would be a stupid question. Well done!

I'll take a moment to catch me breath!

OK, only one more round to play

before we add those points to your total

because we like to keep you guys guessing.

-Round of applause!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, Danielle's team, welcome back.

This is the Music Round.

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

and play it to the person next to you using the kazoo.

HE PLAYS THE NEIGHBOURS THEME TUNE

-Do you know what that was?

-Neighbours.

-Of course it was!

Dean, you need to listen carefully,

you're going to be the one passing it down the line.

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

Could everybody, except Adelle, put your headphones on

so you don't hear the song that's been selected.

OK, our Copycats are ready. Let's close the doors!

APPLAUSE

OK, we've got three tunes here. We've got blue, pink or yellow.

I'll go with pink.

There you go, take a look.

-OK.

-You know that tune?

-Yep.

-Let's have a listen.

# Singing, I love rock'n'roll

# So put another dime in the jukebox, baby... #

-OK, you've got ten seconds.

-Thanks.

Ready, steady, play!

SHE PLAYS "I LOVE ROCK'N'ROLL"

Very good! Dean, your turn.

HE COPIES WITH SOME MISTAKES

OK, Julie-Anne.

SHE PLAYS A DIFFERENT MELODY

OK, your turn.

SHE PLAYS A DIFFERENT MELODY

Right...

SHE PLAYS A DIFFERENT MELODY

Time's up! OK.

All right, Danielle, for 50 points, any idea of the answer?

Skip, Skip, Skip To My Lou?

Hmm, I've never heard that song! But it's not right anyway.

We're playing for 40 points, Kelly-Louise.

I Gotta Feeling?

It's not, sadly. Playing for 30 points, Nadia, what do you reckon?

Meet Me Halfway?

Black Eyed Peas fans here. It's not, sadly,

which means we're playing for 20 points.

Was it the theme tune from Home And Away?

It was....

# Home and away, You know we belong together

# You and I for... # No, it's not that!

OK, which means we're playing for 10 points.

Dean, I've got to say, Adelle did a cracking job.

-I didn't.

-LAUGHTER

No, you did!

Any idea of the answer?

-I Am Rock'N'Roll?

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# I love rock'n'roll

# So put another dime in the jukebox... #

It's actually I Love Rock'N'Roll but we know you knew that.

That means you get ten points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, I've got a yellow card and a blue card. Which one would you like?

She's gone for the blue. Have a look.

-Do you know that?

-Yes.

-OK.

Well, if you didn't we're going to play it into the studio now.

# If you change your mind, I'm the first in line

# Honey, I'm still free

# Take a chance on me... #

Was that a weird? I'm sorry.

It was fantastic.

Aw, bless ya, bless ya!

OK, don't want to waste any time.

Ready, steady, play! Open the door!

SHE PLAYS "TAKE A CHANCE ON ME"

OK, come on, Max. That was good copying.

HE COPIES THE MELODY

OK. Come on, Angela.

SHE PLAYS A DIFFERENT MELODY

LAUGHTER

Close the doors!

HE PLAYS A DIFFERENT MELODY

Amazing! Go on, Amy.

SHE PLAYS A DIFFERENT MELODY

Brilliant, brilliant. Yeah!

Oh, it never ceases to amaze me how it changes.

OK, Jack, for a maximum of 50 points...

I'm not going to lie to you, it's difficult.

Was it Many Men?

-Many Men?

-No.

-It isn't.

For 40 points, Amy, what was Patrick playing there?

Not what I played, I don't think.

It was very nice though, very nice.

Was it California Gurls?

-Oh, the Katy Perry one?

-Yeah.

-Great video.

It's not, I'm afraid.

OK, let's open the doors.

Patrick, come on.

-Chasing Cars?

-Chasing Cars?

You've got some great musical taste there but it's not, I'm afraid.

For 20 points, come on, Angela.

Theme from Star Wars?

It is not the theme from Star Wars.

OK, Max, what is it for 10 points?

Highway To Hell!

LAUGHTER

I wish it was, Max! I wish it was!

But it's not, I'm afraid. Hollie, what is it?

Take A Chance On Me, Abba.

A bit... Not very close but let's have a listen.

# If you change your mind, I'm the first in line

# Honey, I'm still free

# Take a chance on me... #

That does mean you get zero. I don't know about you,

I was entertained. Give them a round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'Right, so after three rounds,

'Danielle's team have 60 points

'and Jack's team also have 60 points!'

-All right, get this!

-What?

The scores are tied after three rounds

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

Which team amazed us with their skill?

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

-Lovely.

-Thanks!

The wait is over, I can reveal that one team

got 80 points in the challenge.

I can also reveal that one team got 150 points.

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Jack's team!

Commiserations, Danielle's team.

You did really, really well.

Have you had a good day?

-Brilliant.

-You've been fantastic.

You've been fantastic. Give it up for Danielle's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Jack's team, well done, you've made it this far.

Now, it's time to compete for the fabulous, limited edition,

lovely, shiny springy thing that is this!

The Copycats trophy!

-AUDIENCE:

-Wooo!

-Don't touch what you can't afford.

-Good one, good one.

Here is The Ball Room.

Jack, who have you chosen to play?

Me, Patrick and Amy.

Ah, good. Why?

Amy's really tall, so she can get the ones that are high up

and Patrick's small, so they come to him quickly.

You're in the middle, so you've got the bases covered.

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

'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.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

blast the balls!

'Left to right - Jack is catching the blue balls,

'Amy, the yellow ones,

'Patrick, the red.

'Come on, guys, quickly as you can.

'A lot of hair flying around inside The Ball Room.

'Outside, lots of encouragement and laughter as well.

'It is fun this game.

'But you have to be careful - time runs out very, very quickly.

'You can't pick them up, you have to catch them in the air.

'Look at those yellows stacking up.

'Pretty well there as far as the yellow is concerned.

'Now, Amy can help Jack and Patrick with the blue and the red balls.

'Come on, 20 seconds to go now.

'Quickly as you can. There's a red one being caught.

'Is it going to go inside the cylinder?

'Yes it is. A couple going in there.

'Blue doing well, as well.

'Come on! Time is running out!

'Oh, no! Come on, quickly!

'Are you going to do this?'

HORN SOUNDS

No! Jack's team, you missed it by one red ball.

-ALL:

-Oh!

-So, sorry...

-Can we have the trophy anyway?

-LAUGHTER

I'm afraid it doesn't work like that.

We put this under lock and key!

But you do get to take away some Copycats t-shirts, yeah.

-You had a good time as well?

-Fantastic!

Give it up for Jack's team.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, guys

-Right, it's the end of the show. I can't believe it!

-Shut up!

I will not shut up, Mark!

We'll see you next time on Copycats.

Bye!
