Episode 31 Copycats

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

'And today's Copycats are...

'Jack's team from Surrey

'and Emma's team from Newry.'

CHEERING

Yeah!

-Hello!

-And welcome to Copycats, the gameshow where copying is good.

Yes, we love copying so much

that we've created a prize that puts other gameshow prizes to shame.

Because our teams are playing for the ultimate money-can't-buy prize.

It is of course... the Copycats trophy.

AUDIENCE: Whoooo!

-Shall we meet today's teams?

-Come on, let's do it!

Jack, team captain, plant it right there. How you doing?

Very well. I'm really excited.

-Good. I'm very excited today. Very excited. Team, are you excited?

-Yeah!

Yay! Before we go further we're going to get to know you a bit better,

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

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

So, Bart, how are you today?

"I'm a bit nervous, really."

CHEERING

Very good! The best of luck for today. It's Jack's team, everybody!

CHEERING

And over here we've got Emma's team. High-five, Emma.

Yeah! How are you?

-Great. We're all set and ready to go.

-Awesome!

-That's what I like to hear. Everybody good?

-Yeah!

All right! Now, this is the reason that you guys are on Copycats.

Let's take a look.

# Every day's like an open door

# Ba-ba-da ba-ba, that's how it goes... #

-HE SPEAKS LIKE A DUCK

-We want to win! Whooo!

That's what we like here on Copycats.

Give it up for Emma's team.

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.

To get as many points as possible,

each team will face the Copycats Challenge.

We tossed a coin before the show,

which told us that Jack's team will be playing first.

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

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

Sue, you'll pick one of these three cards and you'll have ten seconds

to draw whatever is on it to the next person, Jack,

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

There are 50 points to be won, but as we pass it back down the line

you will lose ten of those points for every incorrect answer.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-Yeah!

All right! Let's close the doors.

CHEERING

OK. Sue, I've got three cards. Pink, blue or yellow?

-Yellow, please.

-Yellow. Take a look.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-Think so.

-Nice one. OK, pick up your pen.

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

OK, Jack, your turn.

David, your... SAM LAUGHS ..your turn, mate.

All right, Ben, mate, your turn.

Judy.

Time's up! Stop drawing. CHEERING

OK. Amy, for a maximum of 50 points, what do you think the answer is?

Is it a hamburger?

Nice thinking, but it's not a hamburger,

which means we're playing for 40 points. Open the door, please.

-Judy, what do you reckon?

-I reckon it's...

-a shell.

-A shell.

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

An...ice cream?

I see where you're going.

It's not an ice cream, though, so we're playing for 20 points. David.

Is that a pompom hat where the pompom has fallen off?

SAM LAUGHS

That is so specific. I love that answer.

It's not, sadly. SAM LAUGHS

Which means we're playing for the minimum of ten points.

-Jack, what do you reckon?

-Is it a rocket?

It's not a rocket. Sue, do you want to tell everybody?

-A sandwich.

-It's a sandwich!

Ohhhh!

Sadly, that means, at the end of Quick On The Draw, you get no points.

Give 'em a round of applause anyway.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Raring to go with a pen. You've got to pick a card first.

-We've got blue, we've got pink. Which would you like?

-Pink.

-Pink.

-Oh!

-Oh! Pleasantly surprised?

-Yeah.

-Good. OK. Good luck to you, Ashling.

-OK. Thank you.

Your ten seconds...

start...now.

Open the door.

Ooh.

OK, Emma.

Go on, off you go.

OK.

Make sure you use all the ten seconds.

OK.

Good copying.

Use all the ten seconds if you can.

All right. Come on, Kevin.

-Stop drawing!

-APPLAUSE

OK. For the maximum of 50 points...

Is it a Christmas tree?

It's not the right answer, so open the door.

-For 40 points, Kevin.

-The star at the top of a Christmas tree?

It is not a star on top of the Christmas tree.

Open the door. Come on, Shea, you can do this.

Is it a star smiling?

It is not, I'm afraid. Let's open the doors.

Come on, you can get this, it's easy!

-It's a smiley star.

-Smiley star. It is what Emma's drawn

but it's not what we're looking for. Let's open the door.

Emma, for ten points, what is it?

-Is it a starfish?

-It's a starfish!

-Well done, Emma!

-APPLAUSE

That's why Emma's the captain, right there. Thinking outside the box.

Emma's team get theirself ten points. Well done.

CHEERING

-Whoo!

-After Quick On The Draw,

are Jack's team one sandwich short of a picnic?

And are Emma's team shining bright like an underwater star...

fish?

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

It's close.

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

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

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

Emma's team, so that you don't get a peek, we're going to send you off,

but we'll see you in a bit.

-Say goodbye to Emma's team, everyone.

-Bye!

-Bye!

-See ya later.

Now, Jack, as team captain,

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

but, before you do that,

let's find out what's in store. Mr D, over to you.

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.

CHEERING

Best of luck, team.

In three, two, one...slide.

'Here we go. You can see the way the puzzle is supposed to look.

'Bottom left of your screen.

'In the studio, though, the teams have to look at the very big screen

'and bear in mind they're very close to the puzzle itself.

'Jack, Ben and Judy

'are playing the game.

'Judy giving the instructions as to how best to achieve this.

'They started straight away.'

Put that down...

'Which is good news.

'How are they doing? Got to get those yellows on the far side.

'There's Amy offering her advice.

'Probably done this sort of puzzle many times, has Amy.

'Bit of an expert, I think.

'There is a complete row of blacks, but not quite in the right place.

'Two yellows in place on the far side,

'so that's coming together slowly.

'But you haven't got a lot of time.

'35 seconds left.

'The row of blacks at the moment is almost on the bottom of the puzzle.

'Ooh, now we're getting there.

'Don't forget, it's ten points for every square in the right place

'when the time runs out. 20 seconds.

'We are getting there with this game.

'All the yellows are now in place.

'Excellent. The reds now.

'Get as many of those reds in a line as you can.

-MR D LAUGHS

-'Plenty of advice!

'But is it the right advice? Yes!'

CHEERING

Nice. Well, I can tell you, you got nine puzzle pieces

in the correct position. Very good!

We will add those Challenge points to your total after the music round.

Emma's team still need to face the Challenge.

These points could make all the difference

because a dream ticket to the Ballroom is at stake. Well done!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Whoo! Welcome back, Emma's team.

Let's play Mime Time.

Now, Emma, I've got three cards in my hand.

You'll pick one of these cards

and you'll have ten seconds to mime what's on it to the next player,

which is Joanne, and then so on, and so on, down the line.

There is a maximum of 50 points to be won

so, if you think you know it,

add more detail so the mime goes to the end of the line.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

All right! Let's close the doors.

We've got yellowy gold, blue blue and pinky pink.

-Which would you like?

-I'll take pinky pink.

Pinky pink. Have a look at pinky pink.

Yeah? Confident.

I like that, Emma.

Good luck. Ready, steady, mime.

Open the door.

OK, Joanne.

OK, Shea.

OK, Kevin. Remember, silent performances.

All right.

-Stop miming!

-CHEERING

For the maximum of 50 points, any idea what Colleen was miming there?

Is it someone sneezing?

-It is sneezing! Yeeeaaah!

-CHEERING

Whatever you guys had, I didn't want to catch that.

-LAUGHTER

-You did fantastically well there, Emma's team.

You get the maximum, 50 points. Well done.

-Jack, how's your acting skills?

-Brilliant.

-Brilliant! Good!

We've got blue or yellow left.

-Which would you like?

-Yellow, please.

-Take a look, mate.

-OK.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Yeah.

-Nice one. You've got ten seconds.

The best of luck. Ready, steady, mime.

OK, Dave, it's your turn.

Ben looks happy about this.

OK, Judy.

Amy, your turn.

Time's up!

APPLAUSE

Good miming. Sue, 50 points, what's the answer we're looking for?

Is it snorkelling?

Yeah!

CHEERING

Very good. Well done, guys. You get yourselves the full 50 points!

CHEERING

Right, after Mime Time, have Emma's team sneezed over the opposition?

And are Jack's team on a journey to the bottom of the sea,

or just treading water? Time to find out the scores.

Mr D, what could they be?

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

and Emma's team have 60 points!

All right, time to get serious once again, because Emma's team

-are about to face the Copycats Challenge.

-Earlier on,

Jack's team scored some important points, but did they do enough?

Emma, it's your chance to add some crucial points

-to your score. Are you ready?

-Yes!

-Yeah, she is!

-Now, Jack's team, it's time for you to leave.

Go and have a walk in the park, but come back. See you later.

Bye!

Remember, 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 their tickets to the Ball Room.

-Emma,

as team captain you need to select three people to face

the Copycats Challenge, but before that, here's what's in store.

Mr D, tell us.

The Puzzle. As before, 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 time runs out.

APPLAUSE

OK, good luck, guys.

In three, two, one...slide.

So, you copy the image on the screen by sliding the tiles into position.

They're taking a long, hard look at this, then - Emma,

Shea and Kevin.

They're starting to move the tiles right now.

Same puzzle as the previous teams, so no unfair advantages.

A lot of concentration on these faces, and they are talking

to each other, which helps.

They're getting advice from the sidelines, too.

Joanne and Colleen chipping in with advice.

Not moving quite as quickly as Jack's team.

Can't hang about here.

Come on.

The trick here is to be brave.

You need to move two or three pieces around at a time,

and do it in a circular motion. Gives you plenty of opportunities.

45 seconds left.

Not very long left, then.

Come on.

We've got a row of blacks again,

but the wrong position.

Second yellow, bring it over.

There's Ashling in the background, directing operations.

Perhaps she should've been on the team? Only now do you find out.

20 seconds left.

It is not easy, this.

Come on.

10 points for every square in the right place

when the time runs out. Less than 10 seconds.

-Yellow?

-Try and get the...

MR D CHUCKLES

They're getting very frustrated, those girls.

-OK, stop!

-Oh!

Harder than it looks, isn't it?

-Very much so.

-Well, I can reveal

that you got three pieces in the right place. Are you happy, Emma?

I'm delighted.

She's delighted!

All right, positive attitude, I like that!

Only one more round to play before we add those points to your total,

cos we like to keep you guessing here on Copycats.

Give Emma's team a round of applause.

APPLAUSE

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

David, all you have to do is pick a well-known tune and recreate that

to the person next to you using the Copycats kazoo.

Ben, you need to listen to what David plays very, very carefully,

because you're going to pass it down the line. As always,

there's a maximum of 50 points up for grabs, so perfect playing

means perfect points. Could everybody except David please put

your headphones on so you don't hear which song's been selected.

OK, Copycats are ready, let's close the doors!

All right, David. I've got three tunes in my hand,

A blue one, a yellow one and a pink one.

-I'm going to go for yellow.

-Take a look.

You know that song?

I think so.

Well, we're going to play it into the studio,

so you will definitely know it.

# You're beautiful

-# You're beautiful

-HE MOUTHS THE WORDS

# You're beautiful, it's true. #

-Do you know that tune, David?

-Yes.

-Good. Best of luck.

Ready, steady, play.

HE PLAYS "You're Beautiful" ON KAZOO

OK, Ben. Your turn.

HE PLAYS "You're Beautiful" ON KAZOO

Judy, your turn.

SHE PLAYS A DIFFERENT MELODY

Amy's face was brilliant there! Good luck, Amy.

SHE PLAYS A DIFFERENT MELODY

Sue.

SHE PLAYS TWO NOTES REPEATEDLY

Time's up!

OK.

Jackie-baby, chips and gravy, for 50 points,

what do you think the answer is?

Mamma Mia?

Oh, Mamma Mia! It's not Mamma Mia,

which means we're playing for 40 points. Open the door.

-Sue, what do you reckon?

-YMCA?

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

Amy, what do you reckon?

Away In A Manger?

Aww.

# Away in a manger... #

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

-Thriller?

-It's not Thriller.

I reckon Ben knows this for 10 points.

-Is it You're Beautiful?

-Thank you very much!

What's the answer?

MUSIC PLAYS: "You're Beautiful" by James Blunt

Well done, guys. You get yourselves ten points.

APPLAUSE

-OK, Joanne, I've got two cards left, pink or blue.

-I'll go for blue.

OK. Have a look at that.

-You got that?

-Yeah.

All right. That's playing to the studio about now.

# I'm singing in the rain HE MOUTHS THE WORDS

# Just singing in the rain

# What a glorious feeling

# I'm happy again

OK, Joanne, get your kazoo ready.

Best of luck to you.

Ready, steady, play. Open the door.

SHE PLAYS "Singing In The Rain" ON KAZOO

OK.

HE PLAYS "Singing In The Rain" ON KAZOO

Very good, very good!

HE PLAYS A DIFFERENT MELODY

OK.

SHE PLAYS A DIFFERENT MELODY

SHE PLAYS A JAZZY, SYNCOPATED MELODY

Lovely bit of jazz!

APPLAUSE

Stop!

OK. Oh, it was all going so well.

Oh.

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

Beyonce, If I Were A Boy?

You're a little bit off with that, I'm not going to lie...

OK, let's open the door for 40 points.

OK, Ashling.

-What was Colleen playing there?

-Was it I Gotta Feeling?

Black Eyed Peas, cracking song. Unfortunately it's the wrong answer.

Let's open the door.

-OK.

-LAUGHS

For 30 points, what was Kevin playing?

Lady Gaga, Paparazzi.

LAUGHTER

I don't know what you were playing, mate, to be honest,

but it's wrong.

OK, let's open the door. Kevin.

Fantastic, you were doing all the riffs and everything.

It was amazing.

I don't know. The theme to Doctor Who.

The Doctor Who theme?! It is not, unfortunately.

-Come on, you know this, I know you do.

-Singing In The Rain.

SINGING IN THE RAIN!

MUSIC PLAYS: "Singing In The Rain"

Emma's team, you get yourselves 10 points. Nice work.

APPLAUSE

Right, so after three rounds, Jack's team have 60 points

and Emma's team have 70 points.

Good game, good game.

"Good game!" What's this?

There are only 10 points between the teams but we still have to reveal

the scores from the Copycats Challenge. Which team

powered through The Puzzle and which team have a one-way ticket

-to the Copycats Ball Room? Stop laughing.

-Thanks, Brucie.

The wait is over. I can reveal one team got 30 points in the challenge.

I can also reveal one team got 90 points,

which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room is...

Jack's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, Jack's team.

But commiserations to Emma's team. Had a good time?

-ALL: Yes!

-You've been a fantastic team, you really have.

Give it up for Emma's team, everyone.

APPLAUSE

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

AUDIENCE: Woo!

Here is the Ball Room!

OK, Jackie-baby, who've you chosen to take part in today's Ball Room?

I've chosen me, Amy,

-and David.

-Excellent.

Well, before we open the doors to the Ball Room,

let's find out 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

OK, if you're ready,

in three, two, one...

BOTH: Blast the balls!

This is a test of your catching skills as much as anything.

You mustn't pick up the balls from the floor of the Ball Room.

Lots of shouting from Ben there to encourage these team players

to do the best they can. Reds doing well already though.

That's Jack putting balls into the red cylinder.

Blue doing well as well. And you see what David's doing there?

Catching a whole load and then picking out the balls he needs.

Clever.

Now, how are we doing? Amy a little way behind there.

We're counting the red ones. Doing very well.

Another blue one going in as well. Come on, David, chase that ball.

Amy still a little way behind. Two going in, excellent.

Don't take too long doing it, Amy. Quickly as you can.

20 seconds to go now. Come on!

Quickly as you can. All the blue ones are in by the look of it.

Now David can help Amy with the yellow ones. Almost there, guys!

The reds done as well. Well done, Jack. Excellent.

APPLAUSE

Yeah!

Congratulations, Jack's team. It gives me great pleasure

to award you, the Copycats champions!

THEY CHEER

-Have you had a good day?

-Yeah.

-Beautiful.

Give it up for Jack's team.

CHEERING

-Sam, it's the end of the show, mate.

-No, it's not!

-It is.

I don't believe ya. I want to do it again.

We will, next time on Copycats! Bye!
