Episode 38 Copycats

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

'And today's Copycats are Ellie's team from Kent,

'and Jack's team from Wrexham.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Hello.

-Hello.

-And welcome to Copycats.

-The game show where copying is good.

-Sam, I've been practising my miming.

-Oooh, oh...

-Singing? Driving a car?

-No.

-Man trapped in a diamond?

-What?!

-Playing football?

-No.

-Hairy hands?

-Sam! I need a wee.

LAUGHTER You should have gone before we started.

Unbelievable! Ah!

Today's teams are playing for the ultimate prize,

it's the Copycats trophy.

AUDIENCE: Oooh!

-Oooh, indeed.

-Do you mind if we meet the team before you go for a onesies?

-Fine.

-Let's do it! APPLAUSE

Ellie, team captain. Plant it on my hand. How are you?

-I'm fantastic, thank you.

-Good, fantastic, I like that.

-Team, are you fantastic? ALL:

-Yes!

-Good.

We're going to get to know you a little bit better.

We're going to look at your audition tape. LAUGHTER

HUMS "SCOTLAND THE BRAVE" THROUGH HER NOSE

Ta-da!

Good luck, it's Ellie's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Over here we've got Jack's team. Gimme five. Yes.

You were looking at Ellie's team thinking,

"Audition tape, hope they don't show ours."

-Do you know what we're going to do?

-You'll show it.

You're right! Let's have a look.

SHE SINGS

# You're a pink toothbrush I'm a blue toothbrush

# Have we met somewhere before? #

Hee-hee!

I love Copycats. It's the most amazing show in the world.

ALL CHEER

Give it up for Jack's team. This will be a fun show.

All right! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK. It looks like our teams are ready.

As with every game of Copycats, 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 later.

We tossed a coin which told us Jack's team would be playing first.

Let's play Copycats.

All right, Jack's team.

It's time to play Quick On The Draw.

I have three cards, you'll pick one.

You'll then have ten seconds to draw what is on that card for Jack

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

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

You lose ten points for every incorrect answer.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL: Yes!

Good luck, let's close the doors.

Fred, yellow, pink or blue? Which one would you like?

-Pink, please.

-Have a look at that.

-Yes.

-Got it in your head? Good luck.

Ready, steady, draw.

OK, Jack.

All right.

Ha-ha, for about four seconds.

Try and use all the time, if you can, obviously.

Lot's of time to spare. OK.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

What are we looking for for 50 points, Kyle?

-Three trees on a hill?

-Ha-ha!

It is not what we're looking for, mate.

Let's open the door. For 40 points.

Is it the sun?

It is not the sun. Let's open the door for 30 points.

-Is it three mountains on a hill?

-It's not.

-OK, let's open the door.

-Is it a crown?

It is not a crown.

OK, mate. All great guesses, it's difficult.

-Jack, for ten points.

-Is it a wigwam site?

It's not, I'm afraid. Fred, what is it?

-Pyramids.

-Pyramids!

Aaagh!

Unfortunately, Jack's team get no points.

Give them a round of applause anyway.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Leslee, pick a card.

-I'll go for the blue.

-Blue.

-OK.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-I can.

You have ten seconds. Ready, steady, draw.

Good drawing.

Liv's nodding her head.

OK, Liv, your turn.

OK, go for it.

APPLAUSE

All right, Millie, 50 points. What's the answer?

-Is it a penguin?

-It is a penguin!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Very good start, you get 50 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-After Quick On The Draw, are Jack's team having a

-PHARAOH

-time?

And have Ellie's team p-p-p-p-p-picked up some points?

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

'After Quick On The Draw, Ellie's team have 50 points,

'and Jack's team have no points.'

The next round will test skill, nerve and determination.

Yes! The game just got serious

because this is the Copycat Challenge.

-Is that your serious voice?

-Big time.

Jack's team won the toss,

so will be the first to attempt the challenge.

Ellie's team, so you don't get a sneaky preview, we'll send you off.

Don't worry, you'll be back. Go put kettle on. See you later.

Jack, you need to select three people

to face the Copycats challenge,

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

Over to you, Mr D.

'The Target, holes illuminate in sequences of three.

'Players must copy the sequence by throwing a ball

'through each of the holes in the order they were displayed.

'Ten points will be awarded for every successful throw.'

Good luck, Fred. Are you ready to throw?

-Yep.

-Three, two, one, throw!

'Three holes in a specific sequence.

'Throw the balls in that sequence.

'Fred's second one goes through!

'And the third on, come on! Oh!

'Not quite. Next it's Kyle.

'Kyle starts with the first one.

'Doesn't quite make it. Second one is a big one.

'Not quite, and third one.'

-MARK:

-Yes! Oh!

'Not quite. They're just getting the range.

'Suse, come on.

'First one at the far end. The one that's lit up, that's it.

'Second one. Oh! That was close. And the third one.

'Not quite. OK, Fred, come on. This time.'

-Oh!

-Oh!

'Right off the edge. Second one.

'Not quite high enough. Third one. This'll be the one, surely.

'Oh! Right, Kyle.

'Ah, yes, well done, Kyle. Look at this! Brilliant!

'Oh, not quite. Two out of three, Very good.

'Suse. Oh, wrong hole there.

'Come on. Not quite.'

-MARK:

-Other studio!

-'Third one.'

-LAUGHTER

'Now, Fred.

'Concentration on his face. Look at that.'

'And the third one. Yes!

'Bounces off the edge and through the hole, brilliant!

'Kyle, yes! Kyle's got it.

'Not quite on that second one, third one - brilliant!

'Come on, Suse. Five seconds to go.

'Many as you can. Just throw them. The third one, oh!'

Well, only the shots on target count.

We'll add those points to your total after the Music Round.

Ellie's team need to face the Copycats Challenge.

The points from the challenges could make all the difference.

A dream ticket to the ballroom is at stake.

-Good shot.

-Ah!

-Round of applause.

-APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Ellie's team.

Quick On The Draw, did really well. What are you going to do this round?

-We're going to mime.

-LAUGHTER

Yes, you are! Good point.

I've got three cards. You'll pick one and have ten seconds to mime,

like you said, whatever is on the card to the person next to you

and so on and so on down the line.

There's 50 points to be won.

If you think you know the answer, you can add more detail

to help you get to the end of the line. Are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Let's close the doors.

-Ellie, yellow, pink or blue?

-Um, blue.

Blue. Take a look.

SHE GIGGLES

Oh, giggling.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Mm-hmm.

-You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, mime!

Use all the ten seconds if you can.

Liz's nodding her head. That's a good sign.

OK, Liz, go for it.

OK, Liv, your turn.

This is good copying.

Ha-ha, OK, Millie, your turn.

Time's up, OK. Good miming.

Good copying, Leslee, 50 points. Any idea what we're looking for?

Was it kissing under the mistletoe?

It was! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, at the end of Mime Time you get 50 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I've got two cards, a pink one and a yellow one.

Which one would you like?

He's gone for the yellow one. Have a look at that.

Got it? He's got it, good.

Good luck, Jack. Ready, steady, mime.

Open the door.

Watch that door.

OK!

Bless you!

SHE LAUGHS

So funny, she couldn't stop laughing.

LAUGHTER

Watch the door.

-Stop miming!

-APPLAUSE

OK, for the maximum 50 points, Fred, any idea what Kyle was miming?

Killing himself laughing?

It's not what we've got on the card. Let's open the door.

What's the answer for 40 points, please?

-Tickling.

-It's not. It's not what we've got on the card.

OK, open the door. 30 points.

Wetting herself laughing. LAUGHTER

She was laughing quite a lot.

But it's not what we've got on the card.

Open the door.

She's being very drunk?

It looked like it, but it's not what we're looking for.

Let's open the door for ten points.

-Was he exhausted?

-No. It's not.

Jack, what were you doing?

-I was a zombie.

-A zombie!

-Aw! Course he was.

-APPLAUSE

Unfortunately, that does mean you get zero points,

but I was laughing with all of you. It was great.

Round of applause.

APPLAUSE

After Mime Time, have Ellie's team smooched their way to the final?

Hmm, and will Jack's team come back to life in the final round?

We're going to find out those scores. Mr D, what could they be?

'After Mime Time, Ellie's team have 100 points,

'and Jack's team have no points.'

-Plenty of time.

-Plenty of time.

It's time to get serious once again because Ellie's team

are about to face the Copycats Challenge.

Earlier, Jack's team built up a pile of points in their challenge,

but did they do enough? Time will tell. Now, Ellie's team,

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

-Are you ready? TEAM:

-Yes.

-Good.

-Good.

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

-we'll see you in a few minutes. All right, bye.

-See you later.

See you, Fred. Ta-ra, mate.

Now, remember, the results of the challenge

will be revealed at the end of the Music Round.

The extra points may determine who wins their tickets to the ballroom.

Ellie, you need to select three people to take part,

but first, let's see what that challenge is.

'The Target, as before, hole illuminate in sequences of three.

'Players must throw a ball through each of the holes

'in the order they were displayed.

'Ten points will be awarded for every successful throw.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

We'll be the cheerleaders.

OK, who out of you lovely ladies is going first? Ellie, OK.

Get in position.

Here we go. In three, two, one, throw.

'Ellie, the team captain to start then.

'Not quite. You've got two others to do.

'There's the second one, and the third one at the far end.

'Come on, Ellie. Oh, not quite.

'Right, Liz next.

'Three goes. Same sequence as before to make it fair.

'Oh, there we are!

'Scored! Now the third one...

'Come on! It's a timed round this! Quickly as you can!

'Now, this is Liv.

'A second? Not quite.

'Third one?'

Oh, nearly! Come on!

'Now, back to Ellie.

'That's the first gone.

'The second one? Not quite. The third one, Ellie. Come on.

'Right at the far end. Not quite. OK, Liz.

'Come on, Liz.

'You can do this. Second one.

'Not quite. Third one.

'Yes! Excellent!

'OK, Liv.

'Yes!

'Last.

'Come on! Concentrate!

'And the third one, Liv.

'Oh, not quite. Ellie.'

-Oh!

-'Second one.

'Not quite. Third one. Not long.

-'Come on!'

-Oh!

-'Liz.'

Oh! Can throw a ball.

'A few of these through already. Come on.

'You can do this. Not quite. Right, Liv.

'Come on! Quickly as you can. Time's running out.'

ALL: Oh!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Liz, you were smashing it. You were, "I'm going to have it!

"Grargh!"

-Not bad at all. Ellie, are you happy with that performance?

-Yeah.

-Good.

Excellent. Only one more round before we add those challenge points

to your total. We like to keep you guessing on Copycats. Here we go.

SQUEALING AND LAUGHTER

Ah, round of applause! Yeah.

-CHEERING

-Welcome back, Jack's team.

Now, this is the Music Round. All you need to do

is pick a well-known tune and then recreate it on the Copycats kazoo.

Now, Cerys, you're going to need to listen very carefully

to what Kate is playing cos you're going to have to copy it.

And the player next to you, and so on down the line. Understand?

Fantastic. There is a maximum of 50 points up for grabs

so perfect play means perfect points.

Now, everybody except Kate please now put their headphones on

so you do not listen to the song that's being selected.

Thank you very much.

The Copycats are ready. Let's close the doors!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Come on, we can do this.

-We can do it.

-Now, pink or blue?

-It has to be blue for Chelsea.

-You look puzzled.

-Will they play it?

-They will.

Let's hear it.

-Fred, any idea?

-Back To Black?

Now you're talking. It is wrong but, you know, good song.

All right, 30 points.

-Thriller? Not a bad guess but I'm afraid it's wrong.

-It's playing for 20 points.

-I'd have to say Dancing Queen, Abba.

-Abba?

-Yeah.

-It's wrong, I'm afraid.

OK, finally, let's get some points on the board, guys. Come on.

Unfortunately, Jack's team,

you get no points but I was entertained. What about you?

A round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Liz, we've got two tunes left. Pink or yellow?

-Pink.

-Pink? Take a look.

Do you know that song?

I don't know.

Don't worry, we are going to play it into the studio.

If you don't know it just get the melody in your head. Let's hear it.

-# I ain't sayin' she a gold digger

-When I'm in need

-# But she ain't messin' with no broke bro

-She did me wrong

# I ain't sayin' she a gold digger

Ellie, 50 points. Any idea of the madness?

-Was it Billie Jean?

-It wasn't Billie Jean.

-OK, 40 points. Leslee?

-# Shout, shout, let it all out. #

-Great.

Wrong. It's not, sadly. It's not.

OK, we're playing for 30 points. Millie?

Was it I Can Hear The Bells from Hairspray?

It wasn't, OK? Which means we're playing for 20 points.

The Girls And The Boys, Pixie Lott?

It's not. OK, we're playing for ten points. Liv?

-Is it We Will Rock You?

-No.

-No, it's not.

-It was Gold Digger by the cast of Glee.

-Let's hear it!

-I didn't have a clue.

-# I ain't saying she a gold digger

# When I'm in need. #

At the end of the music round,

you don't get any points, but it was entertaining.

APPLAUSE

'Right, so after three rounds, Ellie's team have 100 points

'and Jack's team have no points.'

Ellie's team are in the lead,

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

Which team are on target?

Which team have a VIP pass to the Copycat's Ball Room?

-Sam, over to you.

-Cheers, mate.

-That's all right.

The wait is over.

I can reveal that one team got 40 points.

Not bad, not bad at all.

I can also reveal that one team got 60 points in the target.

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Ellie's team!

Well done, Ellie's team. Commiserations, Jack's team.

You've been a great team. Have you enjoyed yourself?

-Yeah, we have.

-I had a great time.

-Nice one. Jack's team, everybody!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

but now it's time to compete

for the fabulous, money-can't-buy, lovely, shiny thing that is this -

the Copycats trophy.

-AUDIENCE:

-Oooh!

Right, guys, here is the Ball Room.

Now, Ellie, who have you chosen to take part in the Ball Room?

I've chosen Liv and Millie to come in with me.

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

to win the trophy.

'The Ball Room.

'Players are each assigned a colour.

'They must catch 12 of their colour

'and deposit them in the scoring cylinders before time runs out.

'Good luck!'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, ready? Three, two, one...

BOTH: Blast the balls!

'That's exactly what we do. The balls fly into the air.

'You have to catch them whilst they're in the air.

'You can't pick them up off the floor.

'That's what the rules say.

'Come on, quickly as you can, girls!

'Time runs out very quickly if you're not careful.

'Ellie is catching the blue balls, Liv the yellow,

'Millie the red ones.

'Quickly as you can!

'Plenty of advice coming from outside the Ball Room. There we are.

'Ooh, this is not bad. Look at this.

'Plenty of blue. Plenty of yellow and red ones.

'But only 20 seconds left, girls. Come on!

'Quickly as you can!

'Come on! Move!

'Don't just look at them! Catch them! We're OK on the blue!

'Yellow not far behind, and the same for the red ones,

'but we've only got eight seconds left!

'Quickly! Come on!

'Time's running out!

'Oh, no!'

KLAXON

CHEERING

Stop oh-ing!

-Sadly, guys...

-No, not again!

-You didn't do it! Oh!

So, sadly, that means you don't get your hands on this.

Even the trophy looks sad. Look. Look at it.

Goodbye, trophy!

Don't worry, though - you get a Copycats T-shirt.

Excellent! Ellie's team, everybody!

Right, I've got some bad news for everybody.

-I know what's coming up.

-End of show, innit?

-That's what I thought.

Aw!

-But! We ARE coming back.

-Yay!

And we'll see you next time on Copycats! See you later!
