Episode 3 Copycats

Welcome to Copycats,

with your hosts, Sam and Mark.

And today's Copycats are:

Gemma's team from Lancashire,

and Sarah's team from Bangor.

CHEERING

Come on!

CHEERING CONTINUES

-BOTH:

-Hello!

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

Drawing, miming, or playing the kazoo -

the better you are at copying, the more points you get.

Only the privileged few get to compete for the ultimate prize -

the Copycats trophy. Let's hear your "woos".

-AUDIENCE:

-Woooo!

-Shall we meet the teams?

-All right, let's do it.

CHEERING

Gemma, you're head of the team. Plant it right there!

-How are you doing?

-I'm fine, really.

"I'm fine, really!" What about the team, all right?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

Excellent. We want to get to know you guys a bit better,

so we're going to look at your audition tape.

THEY GROAN

# What would my mama do?

# Dee-dee...

That's another thing, I never know the words of songs.

# Ain't it sad

# Start all over again. # Yeah!

Beautiful. Best of luck, it's Gemma's team, everybody!

CHEERING

And over here, we've got Sarah's team. High-five that!

All right, the captain. How are the rest of the team? Good?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

-Are you looking forward to your audition?

-No!

I'm afraid we are about to see it, though. Have a look.

Go, Sarah!

Changing a nappy!

THEY ALL LAUGH

Our team are very funny and sometimes a wee bit embarrassing!

SHE CHUCKLES

My name's Goofy!

Woooo!

Lovely to have you on the show. Sarah's team, everyone!

CHEERING

It looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

The teams will take it in turns to copy pictures,

actions and displays of musical genius.

In order to get as many points as possible,

each team will face the Copycats Challenge later on.

We tossed a coin before the show

and Gemma's team are going to play first. Get the coin?

-Yeah.

-Let's play Copycats!

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

because this is Quick On The Draw.

Pauline, I've got three cards. You choose one.

You then have ten seconds to draw what's on the card

to the person next to you, Gemma, and so on down the line.

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

but as we pass it back down the line, you lose ten points

for every incorrect answer.

Perfect pictures get perfect points. Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Beautiful! In that case, let's close the doors.

CHEERING

OK, Pauline, pick a card.

-Ooh, I'll have the...

-The pink one.

The answer will appear on screen,

so if you want to play at home, look away now.

Do you reckon you can draw that?

-Just about.

-Good. The best of luck, you've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, draw.

Time to spare. Gemma, your turn. Use the whole ten seconds if you can.

Take a good look, Donna.

OK, Donna, your turn.

OK, your turn now.

Not bad copying, this.

Ooh, not just yet.

OK, go for it!

Time's up! OK, interesting.

Right, Sam... Top name, by the way. High five. Awesome.

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

-A thermometer?

-It's not a thermometer.

For 40 points, Linda, what do you think Ellis has drawn?

A hockey stick and a ball.

It is a hockey stick, yay! CHEERING

Wow!

Well done. At the end of the first round, you get yourselves 40 points!

CHEERING

Karen, blue or yellow?

-Yellow.

-Have a look at that.

-You got that?

-I've got it.

-Fantastic.

Best of luck to you, Karen.

Ready, steady, draw.

You've got ten seconds, remember.

Ooh, watch your head!

You've got ten seconds. Fantastic drawing.

OK.

Not bad copying.

Make sure you use all of your time, guys.

OK.

OK. Final ten seconds.

Charlotte, keep it cool.

Good, long, hard look at what he's drawing.

OK. Stop drawing!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

For the full 50 points, Charlotte, what are we looking for there?

-Is it a sock puppet?

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

For 40 points, Owen, any idea what Adam's drawn there?

Is it a worm?

It is not a worm. We are playing for 30 points.

-Adam, mate.

-A rooster?

It is not a rooster. We can't give you that, I'm afraid.

OK, open the door, for 20 points, come on.

Is it a chicken?

-It's a chicken!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Sarah's team get 20 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Woo!

-After Quick On The Draw, was Gemma's team's performance excellent

or was it only "hockey"?

Ha-ha-ha. Are Sarah's team doing the funky chicken?

All right!

Let's find out the scores. Mr D, what could they be?

Well, Mark, it's a close start. Gemma's team have 40 points,

and Sarah's team have 20 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Now, the next round

will test our teams' skill, nerve and determination.

Yes, the game just got serious

because this is the Copycats Challenge.

Gemma's team won the toss before the show,

so you guys will be going first.

Sarah's team, so you don't get a sneaky preview,

we'll send you away. Off you go, but you are coming back.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Gemma, you need to chose three people to take part

in the formidable Copycats Challenge,

but before we do that, let's find out what's in store.

Mr D, over to you.

The Bounce. You'll be shown five shapes and must attempt to copy them

by bouncing on the trampoline.

To score, you must take off and land in the central square.

Ten points will be awarded for every successful shape.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Go on, mate.

OK, good luck, Ellis.

-Are you ready to spring into action?

-Yep.

OK, in three, two, one...

Bounce! Come on.

A very confident young man here in Ellis. Look at that!

Got the first shape straight away. And the next one.

Didn't quite get that one.

And the next. Good.

There we are, we've got two shapes already from Ellis.

Got to stay within the square, remember, so...

A lot of interesting footwork there.

He's got to stay within the square.

We got a couple there. Let's try Gemma next.

How will she do?

And we're off to a good start.

Excellent. Well done, Gem. And the next one, ooh, look!

That was brilliant interpretation of the shape on the screen.

Trying again there. That's a more easy one.

We're up to four.

Ooh... That...

That looks like it could be painful.

Anyway, well done, Gemma, let's now try Pauline,

see how Pauline gets on. How's she on the old trampoline?

She's off to a good start, bouncing nicely.

Wow! Look at that.

Instant interpretation.

And another one!

That's six, we have six shapes.

This could be interesting!

There we go. Pauline having a good go at each of these shapes.

You have to keep your balance throughout.

That's the aim of the game. She's doing very well though.

So there we are! Six shapes. Well done, guys.

Come on down, Pauline. Nice one.

CHEERING

Well done, guys. We will add those points to your total

after the Music Round.

Well done, guys.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, welcome back, Sarah's team.

You got steady scoring in Quick On The Draw, 20 points.

-Are you good at miming?

-Erm... I think so.

Oh, right, well, we're going to find out. Let's play Mime Time.

I have three cards. Pick one, then you have ten seconds

to mime whatever is on the card for the player next to you,

and so on, and so on, down the line.

Remember, we are looking for silent performances. OK? Right.

There is a maximum of 50 points to be won

so if you think you know the answer, try to add more detail. OK?

Perfect performances win perfect points.

Copycats, are you ready?

ALL: Yes!

Yes! That's the spirit. In that case, let's close the doors.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Sarah, darling, I have got three cards - pink, yellow and blue.

Which one would you like?

-Blue, please.

-OK, have a look.

Any idea?

-Yeah?

-Yep.

OK, fantastic. Good luck to you. Ready, steady...mime!

Open the doors.

OK, Karen, keep watching.

Ooh, watch your head!

Watch your head.

There we go.

OK, get as much detail in there as possible.

Can't stress that enough.

HE SNIGGERS

Watch your head.

Here we go.

Try and use all the time.

Stop miming, please!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I don't quite know what to make of that but we'll soon find out.

For the maximum 50 points, any idea what Charlotte was miming?

-Is she putting on sun tan lotion?

-She's not putting on sun tan lotion.

Let's open the door. For 40 points, what was Owen doing?

Was he dusting his legs?

He wasn't dusting his legs. OK.

Let's open the door. For 30 points, Owen, what was Adam doing?

Was he shaving his legs?

Ooh. He wasn't shaving his legs.

OK, let's open the door. For 20 points, Adam, what was Karen doing?

Was she cleaning her trousers?

She wasn't cleaning her trousers.

You're in the...ball park!

But I can't say anything, I'm afraid.

For ten points, the minimum score, what was Sarah doing?

You did a good job.

Pulling on her trousers?

Oh... No. It wasn't. Sarah, what were you doing?

-Waxing my legs.

-WAXING her legs. Of course.

It was so close - shaving your legs, and when he said legs,

I though you were on track,

but unfortunately that means that Sarah's team get no points,

but give them a round of applause anyway.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Gemma, you look a bit nervous. Are you?

-Yes!

-Oh. Don't be. How are your miming skills?

-I think they're OK.

Good, OK's good. OK's good. It's not bad, that. All right, pick a card.

I'll go for my favourite, pink.

Take a look.

Do you reckon you can mime that?

-Yeah.

-OK, you only have ten seconds. Best of luck.

Ready, steady...mime!

OK, Donna, your turn.

It's all in the detail on this one.

Take a good look, Linda.

OK, your turn.

Very enthusiastic. Sam, your turn.

Time's up! Brilliant. Good copying.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

Was he driving a car?

We have to be very specific. He wasn't driving a car.

So, we're playing for 40 points. Sam, what do you think?

-Ironing.

-Ironing? It's not. That was funny ironing! Not ironing.

Sorry, Sam.

It means we're playing for 30 points. Linda.

Was he driving a tractor and changing gear?

Ooh! It wasn't driving a tractor. Lots of detail. Very good.

Ellis, what do you think it was?

-Is she pretending to be a race car driver?

-She's not.

OK, we're playing for the minimum ten points.

Donna, what do you reckon it is?

Driving a wagon, or a lorry, and changing gear?

Yes, you said lorry. It's driving a lorry!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That was a tough one - but well done, you get ten points.

APPLAUSE

Right, after Mime Time, was that an eye-watering performance

-from Sarah's team?

-Are Gemma's team trucking toward the final?

TOOT! TOOT!

Mr D, tell us the scores, will you?

Well, Sam, after Mime Time, Gemma's team have 50 points,

and Sarah's team, 20 points.

OK, it's time to get serious again

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

Earlier, Gemma's team built up a pile of those all-important points

in their challenge, but did they do enough? Now, Sarah's team,

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

Are you ready?

ALL: Yes!

-Aw, team! Yes. Good.

-Gemma's team,

it's time for you to leave us for a while but we'll see you later.

-Bye!

-Bye!

-Remember, the results of the challenge

will be revealed after the Music Round, when the extra points

may determine which team wins their tickets to the Ball Room.

Sarah, as team captain, you need to select three people

to face the Copycats Challenge but before that,

let's look at what's in store for you. Mr D, what could it be?

The Bounce. As before, you'll be shown five shapes

and must attempt to copy them by bouncing on the trampoline.

To score, you must take off and land in the central square.

Ten points will be awarded for every successful shape.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Adam. Good luck. Are you ready to spring into action?

-Yep!

-OK. Three, two, one...bounce!

Here we go, ten points for every successful shape. There's the first.

He's got it straight away. Well done. The next...

Oh, no! Get the arms higher up.

Right, we've moved on.

Got the arms in the right place. Well done. Two shapes so far.

And the next one, he's got that straight away as well!

A good mover. Well done, Adam..

Four now! Excellent.

So Adam has scored four shapes. Next is Karen.

Got to stay within that square, remember, to score the points.

So, off you go, Karen.

There's the first one. How you doing?

Very well!

And the next one. Yes!

That one as well, so they're up to six shapes.

Third one, ha-ha!

That's complicated. She did that well.

Seven. Got to turn around sideways for that. There, excellent!

This is going very well.

There we are, got to stay in the box. Ooh!

Being very careful.

Next, it's Sarah.

How will Sarah get on?

Climbs onto the trampoline. Don't forget,

we're looking for the best interpretation of the shape.

There's the first one. That's very well done. Nine so far.

How are we doing with this one?

Get settled on that trampoline,

and the next one, there we are, that's good.

We're up to ten so far. I think Sarah's got it now.

There we are.

Nope. Try the next one.

The Highland Fling. How will you do with this?

Stay within the box. Stay balanced.

It's not easy!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

There's only one more round to play before we add those points.

We like to keep things up in the air on Copycats -

excuse the pun.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, welcome to the Music Round.

Now, Donna, you're going to pick a well-known tune,

you are then going to play it to the person next to you

using the Copycats kazoo.

There's up to 50 points to be won -

so perfect playing means perfect points.

Could everybody except Donna

please put your headphones on so you don't hear the song.

OK. Our Copycats are ready, let's close the door!

APPLAUSE

OK. Donna, pick a card - yellow, pink or blue.

-Pink.

-Pink one, take a look.

-Do you know that song?

-Yeah.

-Good.

Well, we are going to play it into the studio...

-THE BLACK EYED PEAS:

-# I gotta feeling

# That tonight's gonna be a good night

# That tonight's gonna be a good night

# That tonight's gonna be... #

OK, the best of luck, you've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady - play it.

SHE PLAYS THE TUNE OK

SHE PLAYS IT LESS SUCCESSFULLY

Oh! Linda, go....

NO MUSIC COMES OUT

LAUGHTER

STILL NO MUSIC COMES OUT

SHE PLAYS A FEW RANDOM NOTES

Oh! Good luck, Sam.

HE PLAYS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT TUNE

LAUGHTER

Pauline! Go.

SHE PLAYS COMPLETELY THE WRONG TUNE

Time's up! OK.

That started off so well! Oh...

Gemma... Look at your face. For 50 points,

what do you think the answer is?

I'm going to give the world's most randomest guess...

and say So What by Pink.

It wasn't So What by Pink.

OK, we're playing for 40 points. Pauline, what do you think it was?

Erm...I'll say Single Ladies.

Oh, good song. Sadly not the answer we're looking for.

Sam, mate. If you get this, it will be amazing.

Any idea what the answer is?

Erm...Mamma Mia.

It's not Mamma Mia. OK, we're playing for 20 points. Linda...

Too Good To Be True. Unlike myself.

Too Good To Be True? That's not the answer we're looking for,

which means we're playing for 10 points.

Donna did a fantastic job. Ellis, any idea?

I have a feeling it might be Don't Stop Believin' by Journey.

Oh! It's not. Donna, do you want to tell everybody?

-I Gotta Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas!

-Let's hear it!

# I gotta feeling

# That tonight's gonna be a good night... #

So, at the end of the Music Round, sadly you get no points.

Give 'em a round of applause, though.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Karen, I've got yellow or I've got blue for you.

-I'll go with blue.

-OK, have a look at that.

-Mm-hm.

-You know that one?

-Yeah.

We're going to play it into the studio right now.

-RIHANNA:

-# Now that it's raining more than ever

# Know that we'll still have each other

# You can stand under my umbrella

# You can stand under my umbrella-ella-ella

# Ay, ay, ay Under my umbrella... #

-Brilliant! All right, Karen. Best of luck.

-Thank you.

Ready, steady - play. Open the doors.

SHE PLAYS THE TUNE OK

HE KEEPS TO THE TUNE WELL

Good. Good playing.

THE TUNE IS ALL OVER THE PLACE

LAUGHTER

THE TUNE IS UNRECOGNISABLE

It's beautiful...

THE TUNE IS COMPLETELY GONE

I don't want it to stop! But please, we've got to.

APPLAUSE

Right. For the maximum of 50 points, Sarah,

any idea what Karen was playing there?

Light Up?

It's not, I'm afraid. OK, let's open the doors...

-Karen?

-Dancing Queen?

It's not, I'm afraid. OK, let's open the doors.

What are we looking for, Charlotte? Owen, this is where it went weird.

Weird, weird, weird.

Er...Patience?

Patience, Take That? Great song, but it's not what we're looking for.

OK... For 20 points - Owen.

Was it Goldfinger?

(MIMICS SHIRLEY BASSEY) It wasn't Goldfinger...

For 10 points - Adam.

-Umbrella.

-Of course it was! Umbrella.

Nice work, my friend. Nice work.

# Know that we'll still have each other

# You can stand under my umbrella... #

Oh... Brilliant.

You get yourselves 10 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Right, so after three rounds Gemma's team have 50 points,

and Sarah's team have 30 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK. Both teams played well, but -

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

Which team beat the Bounce, and which team have a golden ticket

-to the Copycats Ball Room? Mark, over to you.

-It's over to me.

I can reveal that one team

got 60 points...

I can reveal that one team got 100 points in the Bounce.

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

..Sarah's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Gemma's team, you've been fantastic. Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-ALL:

-Yes.

Well, give it up, everybody, for Gemma's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Team, you've made it this far and it's now time to compete

for the fabulous, money-can't-buy, limited-edition, lovely, shiny thing

that is the Copycats trophy!

ALL: Wooo!

Here...is the Ball Room.

Oooh... Yes. The mystical Ball Room. Sarah, who have you chosen to play?

Erm...my friend Charlotte, and my mum and my dad.

OK. Fantastic. 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!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, if you're ready - three, two, one...

BOTH: Blast the balls!

Off we go. So, it's Sarah's mum catching the blue balls,

it's Dad catching the yellows.

Charlotte is looking for the red balls.

We're looking for 12 of each colour.

There's a lot of air in that Ball Room today, all blowing around,

as indeed are the balls themselves.

Now, let's see how they're getting on... Dad is doing catching a lot.

There he goes, stashing those.

And Mum, look -

three in one go, that's not bad going, is it?

They've got the measure of this.

Of course, when Mum and Dad have completed their collection of balls

they can help Charlotte with the red ones.

She's slightly behind at the moment,

with 26 seconds to go.

Keep going, guys! Lots more balls to put into those cylinders.

Lots of advice being hurled at them

from outside the Ball Room.

And they've done it!

BOTH: Yeah!

Sarah's team, you are the Copycats champions!

BOTH: Yay!

Listen. I'm sorry to break up the party, but I've got some bad news.

-Tell me.

-End of t'show, innit?

-What?!

Oh, no!

But we're going to be back. We'll see you next time on Copycats!

BOTH: Bye!
