Episode 36 Copycats

Welcome to Copycats, with your hosts Sam and Mark.

And today's Copycats are...

Louise's team from Armagh

and Robyn's team from West Lothian.

Hello! Welcome to Copycats, the game show where copying is good!

Whether it's drawing, miming or playing the kazoo,

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

Only the privileged few get the chance to compete for

the ultimate money-can't-buy prize.

It is, of course, the Copycats trophy, give me a "woo".

-AUDIENCE:

-Woo!

Ah, yeah!

-Shall we meet the teams?

-Let's do it.

-Give me five. How you doing, Louise, you all right?

-Brilliant.

-Excellent. How's the rest of the team?

-Oh, we're great.

I like it. Now we are about to take a look at your audition tape.

Now, this is the reason you guys are on Copycats. So, what do you reckon?

-Is this going to be a bit embarrassing or what?

-Very.

OK, let's take a look.

# Fly me to the moon Let me play among the stars... #

Woo!

We are unique, each and every one of us and always up for a laugh.

Yeah, woo!

Excellent. Can I just say to the lovely people at home,

if you've just tuned in, you are watching Copycats and not Glee.

That was awesome. That was awesome!

It's lovely to have you here. Good luck!

Over here we've got Robyn's team.

-How you doing?

-Yes.

-You're all right?

Well, er, I think it's about time we saw Robyn's team's audition tape.

You laugh. You'll laugh even more when you see it.

Fantastic! Well, I think this is going to be a very, very good game.

Please give it up for Robyn's team! Yes!

CHEERING

Well, it looks like those cats are ready to get copying.

As with every game on Copycats, 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 take turns to face the Copycats challenge later on.

We tossed a coin before the show which told us

that Louise's team are going first.

Ha-ha, they're Copycats, nice.

All right, Louise's team. This

is Quick On The Draw. Grace, I've got three cards in my hand.

You will choose one, you will then have ten seconds to draw

whatever is on that card for the person next to you,

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 will lose 10 of those points

for every incorrect answer. Copycats, are you ready?

-Yes!

-Grace doesn't look so sure.

Well, let's close the doors.

Don't worry. You'll be fine.

Pick a card - yellow, blue or pink.

-Yellow.

-Yellow.

-Take a look.

-OK.

-Happy with that?

-Yes.

-Think you can draw it?

-Yes.

-OK.

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

OK, Louise, take a good look.

Try and use as much of the time as you can.

OK, Louise, your turn.

Good drawing. Sean, your turn, mate.

Ten seconds is not a long time. Get as much detail as you can, Sean.

Rachel, go!

Narelle, your turn, go!

Oh, rubbing something out.

Time's up! OK.

Alana, for a maximum of 50 points, any idea what Narelle is supposed

-to have drawn there?

-Was it a cup of tea?

It does look like that, but that's not the answer we're looking for!

So, we're playing for 40 points.

-Narelle, any idea what Rachel's drawn?

-A cup of coffee!

Nice thinking. But it's not the answer we're looking for.

-Rachel, we're playing for 30 points. Any idea what Sean's drawn?

-A boat?

Ha ha! It's not a boat. Which means

we're playing for 20 points. Sean, what has Louise drawn?

-A birthday cake.

-It IS a birthday cake!

Not too bad at all there on the first Quick On The Draw.

You get yourselves 20 points!

APPLAUSE

-Angie, You can either pick pink or blue.

-Pink, thank you.

-Pink, OK. Take a look at that.

-OK.

OK, get that in your head,

then draw what you see in your head.

-OK?

-OK.

-Good luck to you. Ready, steady, draw. Open the door.

Ooh.

Only ten seconds, remember.

That's it, now you can go.

Use all the time and get as much detail in there as you possibly can.

OK.

Keep going if you can put more detail in.

Rubbing it out! Ha ha!

OK. Kelly, keep watching.

This is, er, this is interesting. I'm not going to lie to you.

The final attempt.

Time up! Ha ha ha!

OK, Kelly.

For the maximum of 50 points, any idea what Jules has drawn there?

-Is it a rabbit?

-It is not what we're looking for.

All right, let's move on. For 40 points,

-Jules, any idea what Millie's drawn?

-Toaster?

A toaster?!

One of our more interesting guesses here on Copycats. Er, it's

not right, I'm afraid, mate. Let's open the doors.

OK, Millie. Any idea what that is for 30 points?

-Is it a rat?

-It's not.

It is not a rat. OK, let's carry on for 20 points.

-All right, any idea what Robyn's drawn there?

-Is it a bug?

It is not a bug. OK.

-Finally, OK, for 10 points, Robyn, any idea...

-It's a bee.

-What?

-It's a bee.

A bee? Of course it's a bee! Yeah!

Well done!

It does mean that Robyn's team get 10 points!

Was that a piece of cake for Louise's team or are they tucking into

-a box of broken biscuits?

-And did Robyn's team just bumble about?

Let's take a look at the scores.

Mr D, what could they be?

Well, Mark. After Quick On The Draw,

Louise's team have 20 points and Robyn's team have 10 points.

Brilliant, OK. The next round will test

our teams' skill, nerve and determination.

Yes, the game just got serious,

because this is the Copycats Challenge.

Louise's team, as you guys won the toss,

you'll be first to attempt the challenge. But, before we

reveal what exactly awaits you, we've got something else to do.

We have. Robyn's team, so that you don't have an unfair advantage

when it's your turn, we're sending you away.

We'll bring you back.

Yeah, we're going to bring you back. Say goodbye to Robyn's team. Bye!

Now, Louise, as team captain you need to pick three people to take part in

the daunting Copycats challenge.

But, before you do, let's find out what's in store. Over to you, Mr D.

The tower. Players must attempt to

remove twelve blocks one at a time, without the structure falling over.

10 points will be awarded for each block removed.

OK, the best of luck, Sean.

Your time starts...now!

So, the aim is to remove as many blocks as you can without

the tower falling... Without the tower falling over, Sean, come on!

Be very, very careful.

Rachel is next. This is Louise's sister

punching through one of the red ones, and gently pulling it through

from the other side. That's exactly how to do it, brilliant.

Next it's Louise, team captain.

There we are, the yellow ones this time. Very good.

Very gently, very carefully. Done it, brilliant.

Next it's Sean. Be careful, Sean, please.

The yellow one's coming through.

Be gentle about it! Ooh, look at that black one!

Oh, done it.

Back to Rachel now.

Now, Rachel, take great care.

Black block... there we are, excellent.

Now, Louise!

Come on - 35 seconds to go.

Now it's Sean.

Oh, Sean, what are you doing?

If that tower falls, the game is over. Be very, very careful.

Oh, reconsidering. Bit of advice from the sidelines there.

He's giving up on that one.

One of the lower black ones. Come on.

Not long left now.

Come on, Sean.

Don't knock that tower over, whatever you do.

Right, Rachel, quickly. Let's get one here.

Time's running out.

Can Louise get one more? Can we?

Time's up, time's up!

Well done!

Well done. That was really good. You got yourselves eight blocks.

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

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

The points from these challenges could make all the difference,

because a dream ticket to the Ball Room is at stake. Well done.

APPLAUSE

All right! Welcome back to the game, Robyn's team.

This is Mime Time. I have three cards in my hand.

You're going to pick one, you'll then have ten seconds

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

and so on down the line.

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

so if you think you know the answer, add a bit more detail

as it goes down the line.

-You all ready?

-Yes!

-All right, in that case, close them doors.

OK, Robyn, sweetheart, we've got blue, yellow or pink.

She's already gone for the pink one,

oh, and then she goes for the yellow one. OK, got that in your head?

Right, let's have a look.

Interesting. Ready, steady, mime!

Say what you see, time to spare.

Put more detail in if you want to. OK.

Right.

Interesting. Aw, Millie looks a bit confused!

Ho ho!

And so does Jules!

Right, put as much detail - I can't stress this enough, it may help.

Probably not in this case. It will help in the guess.

All right.

Ah.

OK, time up!

OK, for a maximum of 50 points, any idea what Kelly was miming there?

Baking?

She was not baking.

-OK, open the doors.

-Taking out shopping bags from a box.

That's very precise.

But it's not what we're looking for. Not on the card.

OK, let's open the doors.

It looked like you were opening a box and reading a book!

Hm. It's not what we've got I'm afraid, mate.

OK, let's open the doors, for 20 points, any idea what Lianne

-was doing there?

-Was she taking out a book or a magazine

and then reading it and putting it back?

No, not a magazine then reading it.

Right, finally, for 10 points. Any idea what Robyn was miming there?

What it reading a newspaper?

It's so close, but I can't give it you. It's actually...

Opening a letter.

-Opening a letter!

-I went like that!

-Reading the mail.

Ah!

OK, so it does mean that Robyn's team get zero points,

but a round of applause anyway.

Woo! Yeah, c'mon.

Here, Louise. Pink or blue?

-Pink.

-Pink take a look.

Get it into your head.

-D'you reckon you can mime that?

-Yep.

Beautiful, OK. Good luck. You've got ten seconds, ready, steady, mime.

This is good miming.

Rachel's smiling.

Your turn, Rachel.

OK, Narelle, your turn.

Nice work. Alana, finally.

Time's up! OK! Good.

Grace, for a maximum of 50 points, any idea what we're looking for?

-Is it painting a wall, decorating?

-Yay!

Nice work.

Hey, that's a cracking round...

50 points! Wooo!

At the end of Mime Time, Robyn's team

are hoping to open up some fan mail.

Mm, good one. But is the writing on the wall for Louise's team?

It's time to find out the scores. Over to you, Mr D.

Well, Sam, after Mime Time Louise's team have 70 points

and Robyn's team have ten points.

OK, it's time to get serious once again, as Robyn's team are

about to face the Copycats Challenge.

Earlier on in the show Louise's team built up a pile of points

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

Now Robyn's team, this is the chance to add some crucial points

-to your overall score. Are you ready?

-Yes!

-They're laughing, so that's a good sign.

-Beautiful.

Louise's team, it's time to say goodbye to you for a little while,

we'll see you later. Bye!

Remember the results of the challenge will be revealed

at the end of the music round when the extra points score

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

Mm, now, Robyn, as team captain

you need to select three people to face the Copycat Challenge.

But before that let's take a look at what's in store for you.

Mr D, tell us what it could be.

The tower. As before, players must attempt to remove 12 blocks,

one at a time, without the structure falling over.

Ten points will be awarded for each block removed.

Your time starts now.

So, Robyn, the team captain,

to start. Which one is she going to go for?

Oh, yes, one of the yellow ones, very good. Pull it out gently.

Excellent, we're off to a good start.

Next it's Millie. Come on, Millie!

Yes, one of the red blocks.

Push that one through.

That's how to push it through, go to the other side and collect it.

Now, this is Lianne. Careful, Lianne, that's it. Oh, no! Careful.

You have to pull it out, straight out.

Otherwise, the tower will fall. And if that happens, it's game over.

This is Robyn.

Good, good work.

Millie next. First one of the lower yellow ones...

that comes out easily as well.

And Lianne. Now, Lianne, be careful this time.

When you get to the other side, pull it straight out. That's it!

Back to Robyn...

40 seconds left.

You've got to choose wisely at this stage.

That's quite high! This is brave.

Is it going to work?

Oh, no!

That is game over because, unfortunately,

because you knocked over one of the blocks, that last one doesn't count.

But you did get six blocks. Was that a lot of fun?

-Yeah!

-All right, fantastic.

Only one more round to play before we add those challenge points

to your total, because we like to keep you guessing!

CHEERING

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

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

and then play that tune using the Copycats' kazoo.

Now, Rachel, you need to listen to the tune very, very carefully

because you're the one who's going to be passing it down the line

and so on and so on. There's a maximum of 50 points up for grabs,

so perfect playing means perfect points.

Now could everybody, please, except Sean,

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

Excellent. Our Copycats are ready. Let's close the doors!

-Sean, is it true that you're a music teacher?

-Apparently, yes.

-Oh, wow.

-Pressure is on!

-I know.

-Right, mate, I have three cards, pick one.

-OK, I'll take this one.

-Yellow one.

-Yeah.

-Do you know that song?

-I don't.

-OK, don't worry, mate, don't worry.

We are going to play it into the studio so you can listen.

-OK.

-OK, let's hear it.

# We've got a little world of our own

# I'll tell you things that no-one else knows

# I'll let you in where no-one else goes

# What am I doing without you?

# All of the things I've been looking for... #

Oh, yeah, all we need is a stool there. Beautiful.

Good luck, you've got ten seconds, ready, steady, play.

PLAYS TUNE

That was very good, Rachel, your turn.

Very good.

PLAYS QUITE DIFFERENT TUNE

Alana, your turn.

Grace, go for it.

Time's up!

OK, Louise.

For a maximum of 50 points, do you know what the answer is?

-Is it The Promise?

-It's not The Promise.

OK we're playing for 40 points.

Grace... any idea what Alana's playing?

-Er, was it Telephone?

-No. It wasn't Telephone!

OK, we're playing for 30 points. Alana, do you know the answer?

-Er, was it The Birdy Song?

-It wasn't The Birdy Song,

aw, which means we're playing for 20 points.

Narelle, any idea what Rachel was meant to be playing there?

All The Single Ladies?

Ah, good song, no, sadly not. Which means we're playing for

the minimum of ten points. Now I've got to say, Sean did a fantastic job.

Rachel, any idea what it is?

Um, What Would I Do Without You?

Oh! This is so close! But I'm sorry, we need the title of the song.

One last guess? No? OK, Sean. Go on and tell everybody what it was.

Westlife, World Of Our Own.

World Of Our Own, of course, let's hear it.

# World of our own

# I tell you things that no one else knows... #

So that means at the end of the music round, Louise's team get no points.

Aww. Well played though.

All right, Lianne, pink or blue?

-I'll go for blue.

-OK, blue.

-All right, any idea what that is?

-Mmhmm.

Good, we're going to play it into the studio right now.

# I don't understand how you're number one

# When it was just a fling before now you're the one. #

Tinchy, yeah.

All right. Ready, steady...

Play! Open the doors. OK.

OK.

TUNE CHANGES

OK.

PLAYS DIFFERENT TUNE

It's not as easy as it looks.

Oh, carry on, it's lovely.

Now time's up, time's up!

CHEERING

All right, for a maximum of 50 points, Robyn,

-any idea what that was?

-Happy Birthday?

-Happy Birthday!

That is not what I have on the card, I'm sorry.

OK, we're playing for 40 points.

-Angie?

-Broken Heels?

-That's not what we're looking for, I'm afraid.

OK, for 30 points.

-Baby?

-It wasn't...

good song though, the Bieber.

OK, 20 points, Jules. Any ideas what it could be?

-Meet Me Halfway, Black Eyed Peas?

-Great song again,

but it's not, I'm afraid. OK, we're playing for ten points. Millie?

-Taylor Swift, Love Story.

-It wasn't. Er, what was it?

-It was Tinchy Stryder, Number One.

-Let's play it.

# I don't understand how you're number one

# When it was just a fling before now you're the one. #

Anyway, that means that, unfortunately,

Robyn's team get zero points.

A round of applause though!

APPLAUSE

Right, so. After three rounds, Louise's team have 70 points

and Robyn's team have ten points.

Right, Louise's team are in the lead as it stands but,

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

Which team conquered the tower, which team are set

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

Thank you Mr Niskit, Nixon, N-N-N. The wait is over.

I can reveal that one team scored 60 points.

I can also reveal one team scored 80 points.

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Louise's team!

-Commiserations, Robyn's team. Did you have fun?

-Yeah.

It was amazing to have you on the show, you're great contestants.

Robyn's team everybody! Yeah!

OK, team. You've made it this far.

It's now time to compete for the fabulous money-can't-buy

limited edition lovely, shiny, springy thing...

the Copycats trophy! Ooh!

Here is the Ball Room.

OK. Louise, who have you decided is going to take part today?

-Narelle and Alana.

-OK.

Narelle and Alana. Excellent.

Well, before we open the doors, let's take a look

-at what you have to do to win this.

-It's so bouncy.

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!

-And off we go!

Left to right it is Narelle catching the blue balls,

Louise the yellow and Alana the red ones.

12 of each colour, please! In each scoring cylinder.

Here we go. How are we doing so far?

C'mon, catch these balls.

A lot of laughter and a lot of fun going on.

C'mon, Alana! Don't just stand there!

Remember you have to catch these in the air,

you can't pick them off the floor.

Couple of yellow ones in there. Look at that! That's not bad at all!

For each colour. Very, very good.

Quickly as you can...time tends to run out very quickly on this game.

Look at that... that's the 30 seconds to go.

C'mon!

Good work. With the blue balls there, well done, Narelle.

Soon as Narelle has finished, she can then help Louise and Alana

with their colours, the yellow and the red. C'mon, quickly as you can!

You're doing very well here! OK on the blue...

How are we doing on the yellow? Yes, we're almost there.

Just the red ones, catch as many red ones as you can,

in the last five seconds, c'mon, quickly!

Are you going to do this? C'mon!

-Woo, yeah!

-Unbelievable! Talk about tense television!

-You did it with, like, literally, ah, a millisecond!

-Wow.

-..to spare.

-Wow.

-Unbelievable.

-And, Narelle, you were like blue, yellow, red,

blue, yellow, red... all over the place! Awesome.

Well, it gives me great pleasure to hand over to Louise's team

the Copycats trophy! Yay!

Have you had a good day, guys?

-Brilliant.

-Even better now! Ha-ha! Well, that is the end of the show.

Thank you very much for joining us, we'll see you next time on Copycats!

Bye! Bye!
