Episode 35 Copycats

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

'And today's Copycats are...

'Xeina's team from Worcestershire,

'and Ewan's team from Newcastle.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yes! Whoo-hoo...

WHOOPING

-Wow! Whoo-hoo, hello!

-Hello.

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

Mark - have you seen today's Copycats Gazette?

Someone has been writing stuff about me, and I'm not happy about it!

Really? Erm...what kind of stuff?

Personal stuff. You know... stuff that only you and I know?

That's outrageous!

I can't believe that someone would go behind my back,

to make me look stupid. It's outrageous!

Oh... Oh, we'll get 'em. Here, I know what'll cheer you up -

-let's meet today's teams.

-Yeah, all right, let's do it.

WHOOPING AND APPLAUSE

Xeina, team captain - plant it there. How you doing?

I'm really excited.

-Nice one. Team, are YOU excited? ALL:

-Yes!

Before we go on, we want to get to know you better

so we're going to look at your audition tape. This is the reason

you guys are here. This should be fun...

CLICK-CLICK-CLICK...

..CLICK-CLICK!

Voila - you have a dead chicken!

All right!

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

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Very good. But over here, we've got Ewan's team. Bring it on...

Whoo! Whoo-whoo-whoo...

We've got a feisty bunch over here!

Well, Ewan's team - this is the reason that YOU are on Copycats.

ALL CHEER

I do bird impressions. This is a swallow...

GULP!

I WILL be on Capycots... "Capycots"?!

This is a duck...

ALL LAUGH

And this is a swift... Want to see it again(?)

Whoo!

Lovely to have you on. Ewan's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-It's going to be a good show, this one.

-Great show.

And it looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

Now, the teams will take it in turns

to copy pictures, actions, and displays of musical genius.

And in order to get as many points as possible, each team will take turns

to face the Copycats Challenge and the chance to win...

the ultimate - and it IS ultimate - money-can't-buy prize,

the Copycats trophy! WHOOPING

-Yeah!

-All right. Now, we tossed a coin before the show

which told us that Ewan's team are playing first. Let's play Copycats!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

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

Now, Ian - I've got three cards in my hand. Pick one,

and then you'll have ten seconds to draw whatever is on that card

for the player next to you, Ewan, and so on down the line.

-You any good at drawing?

-Middle name is Picasso.

-Oh! That's handy.

Well - good luck. There is a maximum of 50 points to be won,

but as we pass it back down the line

you lose ten for every incorrect answer.

So perfect pictures... mean perfect points.

-All right, Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes!

You certainly sound ready. Let's close the doors.

APPLAUSE

OK, Ian. I've got three cards here - a blue, a yellow and a pink.

Blue for boys.

-Blue for boys, and to go with your lovely shirt.

-Thank you very much.

-Not a problem. You got that?

-I have.

You got the pen? Don't waste any seconds.

-You ready?

-I am.

-Ready, steady...draw. Open the door.

Excellent. OK - ten seconds, come on.

Try and get...the top off(!)

OK, Marion...

Look at her go!

Oh...!

OK...

HE MOUTHS

Lots of detail. Very good copying.

-Stop drawing!

-APPLAUSE

Can't argue with the copying - but for a maximum of 50 points...

Dalton, any idea what Hannah has drawn there?

Is it a TV?

It's a TV! 50 points!

Well done, mate... Well done.

Look at that. He's off!

Oh, yes! Lovin' it.

That means, Ewan's team, you get off to the perfect possible start

with 50 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-OK... Nell, we've got yellow and we've got pink left.

-OK...

-Yellow.

-Yellow? Take a look.

-Get it in your head.

-OK.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-Yeah.

Awesome. Right, if you'd like to pick up your pen...

You've got ten seconds - the best of luck. Ready, steady...draw.

Very good drawing. Xeina, your turn.

It's good. It's good!

All right, Kay, your turn...

All right, Ned - your turn, mate, go for it.

Time's up, stop drawing! OK... APPLAUSE

Kain's looking confident. 50 points - what is it?

-Snowman.

-Yay!

Well done, guys. 50 points!

APPLAUSE

OK! So, after Quick On The Draw, have Ewan's team

bagged their own hit TV show?

And are Xeina's team

BOTH: # ..walking in the air? #

-Still got it, brother.

-You know it.

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

'Well, Sam - after Quick On The Draw,

'Xeina's team have 50 points, and Ewan's team also have 50 points!'

-That means they're neck and neck.

-You're right.

-Interesting.

Well, the next round will test skill, nerve and determination -

yes, the game just got serious - this is the Copycats Challenge.

As Ewan's team won the toss, they will go first.

Xeina's team, so that you don't get a sneaky peek, we're sending you off -

-but only for a little bit. Off you go, guys, see you later!

-Bye!

APPLAUSE

OK. Ewan, you need to select

three people to face the Copycats Challenge -

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

'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 AND APPLAUSE

Three...two...one. Play!

'Here we go, then. Dalton, Ian and Ewan are playing this game.'

Steady, steady, steady, steady...

'Dalton's section first.'

Good stuff, guys. Good stuff.

'Lot of concentration on everyone's faces here...

'not just those people playing The Maze itself,

'but the spectators as well are offering advice.

'This is going towards the centre brilliantly. Very quick...

'Excellent!

'Good start. Ian next...

'Now, be careful. There are dead ends, you mustn't go down those...

'you'll waste valuable time.

-Nearly, nearly, nearly...

-'Get through that gap - go on.

'Heading towards the centre of The Maze,

'and the hole is waiting...

'Oh! It's just come out - put it back in again... Go back!

'Excellent. Good. Right, Ewan - come on.

'Less than ten seconds. Quickly...

'In towards the middle, if he can...

'Through that gap - it's going to go...'

Oh! Unlucky.

Good stuff, though. Come on over...

Unlucky. Are you happy with that - two out of three?

-Yes!

-Yes... All right, all right. Well done.

We'll add those Challenge points to your total after the Music round,

Xeina's team still need to face the Copycats Challenge.

Remember, the points could make all the difference

because a dream ticket to The Ball Room is at stake. Give it up!

WHOOPING

Welcome back, Xeina's team - let's play Mime Time.

Xeina, you will have ten seconds to mime whatever is on your card

to the person next to you which is Chrissie

and so on down the line...but we're looking for SILENT performances.

There's 50 points to be won - so if you think you know the answer,

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

Perfect performances win perfect points. Copycats - are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes!

Awesome. Let's close the doors...

APPLAUSE

Xeina - we've got pink, blue or yellow.

-Blue.

-Blue? Take a look...

Ooh, that was quick. Reckon you can do that?

You've got ten seconds - best of luck. Ready, steady...mime!

OK, Chrissie, your turn.

OK, Kay - go for it.

All right, Ned. Your turn, mate.

HE MOUTHS

OK - Kain, go for it.

SAM LAUGHS

Time's up! OK... APPLAUSE

Good copying down the line. Nell - 50 points, what's the answer?

I'm hoping it's digging.

It did look like that, but that's not the answer -

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

-Burying something?

-It's not burying something.

-OK, we're playing for 30 points. Ned - come on.

-Sweeping.

Ohhh! You're so close, but it's not sweeping.

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

Hoovering?

Oh-ho-ho! It's not hoovering.

Which means we're playing for the minimum of 10 points. Chrissie.

-Mopping.

-Mopping!

APPLAUSE

You get 10 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, Ewan? I've got two cards left - pink or yellow.

-I'll have the yellow, please.

-Have a look.

Yep...

OK, mate. The best of luck to you.

Ready, steady...mime. Open the door.

OK. Excellent mime.

OK, Megan...

Ten seconds is not a long time!

OK. Dalton, your turn...

OK, stop miming!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Tremendous miming, but we are looking for a specific answer

and we're looking for the maximum 50 points.

Ian, any idea what we're looking for?

I think it's somebody putting in a contact lens.

That's exactly what it is - 50 points!

THEY CHEER

Hey, that was brilliant! Maximum points once again, Ewan.

50 points - well done.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, after Mime Time, have Xeina's team mopped up?

Mmmm. And are Ewan's team seeing clearly now after that performance?

Right, let's find out those all-important scores.

Mr D, tell us, will you?

'I will! After Mime Time, Xeina's team have 60 points,

'and Ewan's team have 100 points!'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

BOTH: Argh!

It's time to get serious once again,

cos Xeina's team are about to face the Copycats Challenge.

Earlier in the show, Ewan's team scored some important points

in their challenge, but did they do enough? Only time will tell.

Xeina, it's your turn to attempt to add some points

to your score. Are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-Beautiful.

-Ewan's team, time for you to go off

and have a bit of a sit down, but you will be coming back.

-Say bye to Ewan's team, everyone!

-Bye!

-Bye! See you in a bit.

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 ticket to The Ball Room.

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

to face the Copycats Challenge.

Before you do that, let's see what's in store. Mr D, over to you.

'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 holes at the centre.

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

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, here we go. In three, two, one, play.

'Kain, Kay and Ned are playing this game.'

Nice. Good start.

'Kain's segment first, heading for the centre of The Maze.

'And doing well so far. Look at this.'

That's great.

'Be aware, there are one or two dead ends in The Maze.

'He missed them, though. Well done. Excellent. Good start.'

-Kay!

-Other way, other way.

'Come on. All the way around the edge.

'Careful. Oh, you've missed the gap,

'you've missed the gap.

'Go back! Go back! Go back. That's it. Oh, and missed it again!

'You could have lost valuable time here, guys, come on.

'In towards the centre.

'There we are. Through that gap there. That's it.

'Now we're motoring. This is good.

'Time's running out though, guys. Almost there.

'And you've reached the centre.

'If both teams only complete two segments,

'the fastest teams gets a 20 point bonus.

'But you might still do this.

'Come on! Quickly, quickly!

'Oh!'

APPLAUSE

Well done, guys. That was great. Good teamwork there. Very good.

And you got two balls. Excellent.

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

to your total. We like to keep the suspense going.

Well done, Xeina's team.

APPLAUSE

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Ewan's team. This is the Music round.

All you have to do is pick a well-known tune

and recreate that tune on the Copycats kazoo.

HE PLAYS THE KAZOO

Megan, you need to listen to the tune that Marion's playing,

cos you're going to copy it for the next player, which is Hannah,

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

Now, as always, there is a maximum of 50 points up for grabs,

so perfect playing means perfect points. Now, could everybody

except for Marion please now put their headphones on, so you do not

listen to the song that's being selected.

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

APPLAUSE

-Have you been practising, Marion?

-Yes. I'm actually in a kazoo band.

-Are you?

-Oh, yes. I'm only in the back row, but I'm in it.

Ha-ha! That's the main thing. Right, I've got three cards here.

I've got a gold, a blue and a pink. Which one would you like?

-Gold, please.

-Gold.

-Thank you.

There's a game show in that somewhere.

-All right, you got that?

-Hmmm, can I hear it?

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

MUSIC: "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga

-That was brilliant dancing. You recognise the tune?

-Yeah.

Get that kazoo in your hand - you don't want to waste any time.

All right. Ready, steady, play. Open the door.

SHE PLAYS THE KAZOO

OK.

SHE LAUGHS

LAUGHTER

Lots of shrugging of the shoulders. Brilliant.

LAUGHTER

HE LAUGHS

-All right, stop playing!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, for a maximum of 50 points, Ewan, have you got any idea

what we're looking for, please?

All The Single Ladies?

# All the single ladies, all the single ladies. #

It's wrong, but it's a good song. OK, let's open the door.

For 40 points, Ian.

Was it...

HE MIMES PLAYING A KAZOO

It was exactly that, but I need the title, unfortunately.

Lady Gaga - Telephone.

GROANING

It is not Lady Gaga - Telephone. Let's open the door. For 30 points.

Um, Poker Face?

No, it's not Poker Face. OK, let's open the door.

-For 20 points, Hannah.

-Hang on.

She didn't do that one, I don't think.

SHE LAUGHS

Lady Gaga - Just Dance.

-Yes!

-SCREAMING AND CHEERING

MUSIC: "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga

-Oh, fantastic. Yes!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ewan, I don't know how you did it, but you got yourselves 20 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Chrissie, how's your kazoo playing?

-Fairly rubbish.

-Oh, really?

Oh, no. OK, we'll soon find out. We've got pink or we've got blue.

-Oh, I think a blue one.

-Blue. Take a look.

-Do you know that tune?

-I do. Brilliant! Nice one.

We are going to play it into the studio anyway. Let's hear it.

MUSIC: "Black Or White" by Michael Jackson

Yeah.

Right, good luck. You've got ten seconds. Ready, steady, play.

SHE STRUGGLES TO PLAY

MILD LAUGHTER

Oh, dear.

SHE LAUGHS

You've only got ten seconds!

LAUGHTER

Not at lot to go on, Ned!

LAUGHTER

Ah... Good luck, Kain.

OK, Nell, your turn.

Time's up! Stop playing. APPLAUSE

HE LAUGHS

Good... Oh, wow. Wow.

All right, Xeina, for 50 points,

what do you think the answer is that we're looking for?

-EastEnders theme tune.

-EastEnders theme tune. It's not that.

We're playing for 40 points. Nell, what do you reckon?

-Complete guess. Oh, When The Saints.

-It's not When The Saints.

-No.

-OK, Kain.

-A guess as well. Postman Pat.

-Postman Pat.

It's not Postman Pat. OK, we're playing for 20 points. Ned?

-Oh, it's tricky. Bohemian Rhapsody.

-Oh, good song! Good song!

It's not, sadly, which means we're playing for 10 points.

Kay, what do you reckon it was?

-Barney Rubble?

-Interesting. LAUGHTER

Uh, I've never heard that song before.

I'm sure it's a massive classic hit.

It's not, sadly. Chrissie, do you want to tell everybody?

-Michael Jackson - Black Or White.

-Let's hear it!

MUSIC: "Black Or White" by Michael Jackson

That was very entertaining, though, guys. Sadly, you get no points.

But give them a round of applause anyway.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'Right, after three rounds, Xeina's team have 60 points,

'and Ewan's team have 120 points.'

All right, both teams played well,

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?

-Sam, over to you.

-Thank you, Mark. The wait is over.

I can reveal that both teams got two balls, scoring 80 points each.

So, because it was a tie, the fastest team get a bonus 20 points.

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

BOTH: Ewan's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh, commiserations, Xeina's team. Sorry about that, guys.

-Did you enjoy yourselves?

-Yeah.

Yay! Nice one. Give it up for Xeina's team, everybody.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ewan's 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 springy thing that is this, the Copycats trophy!

-I just get nervous just holding it.

-I know.

-It's just amazing.

-Here is The Ball Room.

-AUDIENCE: Woooo!

You see? It's pretty impressive, eh? It's pretty good.

Now, Ewan, who have you chosen to play The Ball Room?

-Me, Megan and my mum.

-Yes!

-SHE SQUEAKS

I knew YOU'D do it! Well, before we open the doors,

let's take a look at what you have to do to win this. It's amazing.

'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, and if you're ready? In three, two, one...

ALL: BLAST THE BALLS!

'Off we go! From left to right, it's Ewan catching the blue balls,

'Megan the yellow, and Marion,

'Ewan's mum, is catching the red balls in The Ball Room.

'And she's doing well - look at that. In they go.

'This is good. A lot of action in The Ball Room.

'They're concentrating on catching as many balls as possible

'and putting them in to the scoring cylinders.

'Another red going in there.

'Ewan not doing too badly with the blue ones.

'Megan a little bit behind, but that's not a problem at this stage.

'That hair is, though. Ha-ha-ha.

'We don't want that getting in the way. Lots of encouragement

'from outside The Ball Room. Inside, we've got enough red ones.

'So that means Marion can help Megan and Ewan now,

'with blue and yellow balls.

'Quickly, quickly!

'25 seconds left. I think we're there with the blue as well.

'We're almost there! Come on, guys!

'Come on!

'Quickly as you can!

THEY SCREAM

'Ha-ha - yes, look at that!'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Love it! Oh, Ewan's team,

I think you know whether you've done it or not.

-You have done it!

-SCREAMING AND CHEERING

This means you get this -

the mystical trophy that is the Copycats...trophy!

LAUGHTER AND SCREAMING

-Are you happy?

-ALL: Yes!

Stupidest question in the world goes to me!

That is the end of the show - can you believe it?

AUDIENCE: Awww!

Don't worry, we'll be back.

-We'll see you next time on Copycats.

-Bye!

-Bye!
