Episode 40 Copycats

Welcome to Copycats with your hosts, Sam and Mark.

And today's Copycats are Tabby's team from Stafford

and Jono's team from Bedford.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Hello! And welcome to Copycats, the game show

-where copying is good.

-Howdy, partner!

-Howdy, Mark, you all right?

-I'm just dandy. I've come up with

a spin-off for Copycats and I'm going to pitch it

to the producer after the show.

-Right. That sounds interesting.

-Yes, I know.

It's going to be called Copycowboys!

It's going to be brilliant, with line-dancing,

hoedowns, taking your partner by the hand, eh? And I've given you

your very own Copycats Cowboy name - wait for it.

How you doing, Saddle-Sore Sammy!

LAUGHTER

Let's meet today's teams.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right. Tabby, team captain, how you doing?

I'm really good. I'm excited.

Good. I'm excited, too. Team, you all all right?

-ALL: Yeah.

-Excited to be on Copycats?

-Yes, of course.

-Nice.

We are going to get to know you guys a bit better.

So, the way we're going to do that is by taking a look

at your audition tape. This is the reason

you guys are on Copycats. Let's take a look.

I'm 12 years old and I can be a llama!

-Da-da da-da-do!

-Grandma, what's that in the pool?

She looked in the pool and went... and fell in.

-Let's all have a part-y-y-y-y!

-APPLAUSE

Nice. Best of luck for today.

It's Tabby's team, everybody. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Over here, we've got Jono's team.

High-five, mate? Yeah! Looking forward to it?

-Really excited.

-Yes! That's what we like to hear.

What about you guys, you excited?

-ALL: Yes!

-All right! We are going to have a lot of fun.

We are going to have a look at your audition tape.

Oh, no! Let's have a look.

On the front, it has Team Jono and on the back,

it has all our names.

HE PANTS

-How freaky is that?

-We're quite fun.

-Wooh! Ha-ha!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Amazing. You really, really did want to come on this show, didn't you?

You made T-shirts and everything.

Give it up for Jono's team, everyone.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right. Looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

As with every game, 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 and a chance to win

the ultimate money-can't-buy prize -

it is, of course, the Copycats trophy.

-AUDIENCE: Wooh!

-Wooh, indeed! We tossed a coin

before the show which told us that Jono's team will be playing first.

Let's play Copycats.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Jono's team, hope you have been brushing up

on your artistic skills because it's time to play Quick On The Draw.

Jeremy, I have three cards in my hand and you're going to pick one.

You will have ten seconds to draw whatever is on that card

for the player next to you, which is Jono,

and then so on and so on down the line. Any good at drawing?

-Could be.

-We are going to find out!

We are! There is a maximum of 50 points

to be won in this round. But as we pass it back down the line,

you lose ten of those points

for every incorrect answer. Perfect pictures

-get perfect points. Copycats, are you ready?

-We are ready.

-Let's close the doors.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I've got three cards here for you. I've got a bluey-blue,

a pinky-pink and a yellowy-gold.

-I'll go bluey-blue.

-Have a look at that.

HE LAUGHS

-You got that in your head?

-I've got it in my head.

-The best of luck

to you, Jeremy. Ready, steady, draw. Open the door.

Great drawing.

It's how you use your ten seconds.

OK, Tessa.

Matt is raring to go. He's got his pen at the ready.

HE MOUTHS

All right! OK, Patsy.

-Stop drawing!

-APPLAUSE

For a maximum of 50 points, Emily?

-Is it a violin?

-It's absolutely right!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Congratulations. You not only get off the mark,

you get the maximum 50 points. Well done.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-OK, Emma, pick a card - we have yellow or pink.

-Pink, please.

Take a look.

-OK. Think you can draw that?

-Definitely.

-Wicked.

Ten seconds. Ready, steady, draw.

OK. Your turn.

OK, Carol. Mind the door!

Meghan, your turn.

MILD LAUGHTER

All right, Chris, your turn, mate. HE LAUGHS

Time's up. Stop drawing. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Brilliant. Hollie, for 50 points, any idea of the answer we're looking for?

-Erm - a person?

-A person?

That is what that looks like, but that is not the answer

we are looking for, which means we're playing for 40 points.

-Chris.

-I'll go for Chef.

-It's not, sadly. We're playing for 30 points.

Is it when they are at university when they do their degree

-and the hats...

-When they graduate?

-Yeah, graduate.

-It's not, sadly, which means we are playing for 20 points. Carol.

-A bug?

-A bug? It's not a bug....

-I don't know.

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

-Tabby.

-Is it, like, a scuba diver?

-It's not.

Emma, do you want to tell everybody?

-Swimming goggles.

-Swimming goggles!

-LAUGHTER

-It's not!

Sadly, that means at the end of Quick On The Draw,

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

Give them a round of applause. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, after Quick On The Draw, have Jono's team proven

-they have the classical touch?

-Have Tabby's team gone

goggle-eyed after that performance? It's time to find out the scores.

-Mr D, what could they be?

-Well, Sam, after Quick On The Draw,

Tabby's team have no points and Jono's team have 50 points.

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

Yes, the game just got serious. This is the Copycats Challenge.

As Jono's team won the toss before the show,

-they will go first.

-Tabby's team, so you don't get a sneaky peek

of what's in store, we're going to send you off.

But you will be coming back. Bye! Say bye to Tabby's team, everybody.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Now, Jono, as team captain, you now need to pick

three people to face the fast and furious Copycats Challenge.

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

Mr D, what could it be?

The tubes. An image of a coloured tube will be displayed

on the screen. Players must place a ball in the corresponding tube

and catch it as it exits. Ten points will be awarded

-for every successful catch.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Good luck. In three, two, one, let's roll.

Here we go, then. Jono, team captain to start.

To the end of the red tube, puts it in at the top end,

runs round to catch it. Yes, he does. Brilliant. Emily next.

The white tube. It's quite fast, that one.

Ah. And Jeremy, in at the top of the green tube

and runs round to the other end. Drops it! Never mind. Jono next.

Blue, round to the other end and catch it. Yes!

Emily, again on the blue - oh, dropped it. Never mind.

Jeremy next. Round to the black tube.

Quite steep, this one. It runs through very quickly.

Yes! Well done.

Come on, Jono. On the yellow.

Oh, no, dropped it. Never mind. Emily.

Try your hand at the red tube. It's quite tall.

Ooh... Ah!

Now, Jeremy, on the green.

Don't touch the tube. That's it.

Now, we're going for the white one. Oh, no! Never mind.

Emily. Come on, time's running out now. Come on. Oh.

Now Jeremy, on the blue.

Putting it in at that end and catching at the other. Yes, good.

Now it's Jono, on the yellow.

Round to the other end.

Oh, very nearly. Emily's next. On the red.

Catch that, that's it. Good. Now Jeremy, on the green.

In at that end, catch it at the other. Oh, yes. Good.

Running out of time. Quickly. Let's see if you can get this one. Yes!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, guys. Happy? You should be very happy.

That was awesome. OK, well,

we'll add those points to your total after the music round. Tabby's team

still need to face the Copycats Challenge. Remember, the points from

these challenges can make all the difference. A dream ticket

to The Ball Room is at stake. Round of applause, everyone. Excellent.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Tabby's team.

Let's play Mime Time. I have three cards in my hand.

You're going to pick one. You will then have

ten seconds to mime whatever is on that card to the person next to you,

which is Carol, and so on down the line. Remember,

we're looking for silent performances.

As usual, there's a maximum of 50 points to be won,

so if you think you know the answer, you can add a bit

more detail to help the mime get to the end of the line.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL: Yes!

-Awesome! Let's close the doors.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

We have three cards here - pink, blue or yellow. Which one would you like?

The blue one? Take a look.

-Yeah.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Yes!

-Yeah, got that!

OK, best of luck, Tabby. You have got ten seconds. Ready, steady, mime.

Nice. Carol gave a thumbs up, that's good.

LAUGHTER

OK. Mind yourself! OK, Meghan, your turn.

HE LAUGHS

All right, Chris, your turn.

LAUGHTER

All right, Hollie, your turn.

Time's up. Stop miming. Well done. Very entertaining.

Emma, for 50 points,

-what's the answer?

-Sack race?

-Yes!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Excellent. Well done. At the end of Mime Time,

you get the full 50 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Jono, I've got two cards left. I've got a yellowy-gold or a pink.

-Which one would you like?

-Yellowy-gold.

-Have a look at that.

-OK.

-Got that?

-Yeah.

-You've got a confident look in your eyes. I like that.

Best of luck to you. Ready, steady, mime. Open the door.

OK, Tessa.

OK, Matt.

HE MOUTHS

OK, Patsy.

All right, finally Emily.

Stop miming!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

OK. For a maximum of 50 points, Jeremy, what's the answer?

Eating spaghetti.

It's not the right answer, I'm afraid. Open the door.

Emily, what are we looking for for 40 points?

Was she eating worms?

LAUGHTER

It is wrong, unfortunately. Let's open the door. For 30 points, Patsy?

Eating liquorice?

Oh, no, it's not right. Open the door, 20 points?

Was she eating strips of caramel?

LAUGHTER

That's a great answer, I wish it was right. But it's not.

I think we have established that it's eating something. OK.

Was it eating grapes?

Oh, it wasn't, I'm afraid. Go on, Jono.

-Eating crisps.

-Eating crisps! Oh!

Unfortunately, Jono's team,

you get no points, but give them a round of applause.

APPLAUSE

All right. So, after Mime Time have Tabby's team shown

that they take sack racing very seriously in Stafford/Cambridge?

That's where Chris is from.

And crisps are certainly not on Jono's team's menu -

other snacks are available. Now, those all-important scores.

Mr D, what could they be?

Mark, after Mime Time, Tabby's team have 50 points

and Jono's team also have 50 points.

APPLAUSE

-Interesting.

-Could not be closer. Now it's time to get serious

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

Jono's team scored important points in their challenge

but did they do enough? Only time will tell.

Tabby, it is your chance to

attempt to add some crucial points to your overall score. Are you ready?

ALL: Yes!

Jono's team, it's time for you to leave to but you are coming back.

-Say goodbye to Jono's team for the moment.

-Bye.

-Bye.

Keep it real.

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.

Tabby, as team captain, it is now your turn to choose three people

to face the tougher-than-tough Copycats Challenge.

First, let's see what's in store. Mr D, over to you.

The Tubes. As before, an image of a coloured tube

will be displayed on the screen.

Players must place a ball in the corresponding tube

and catch it as it exits.

Ten points will be awarded for every successful catch.

Good luck, team. In three, two, one... Let's roll.

It's Tabby to start.

Red tube. Put it in at that end,

you've got to catch it at this end - oh!

Very nearly. Emma...

Ohh. Chris next.

Green. In at that end, catch it at this end.

Careful!

Tabby, blue.

Yes! Good.

We are scoring here now. Emma...

Oh, no! Don't drop it! Next is Chris.

Round to the black tube, put it in that end,

now catch it at the other - oh! It's a steep angle, that one.

The ball goes through very quickly. On the yellow next.

Oh! Never mind.

Next it's Emma.

The red, there we are, catch it at the other end.

Come on, Chris, green, in at that end,

catch it at the other - good.

Tabby, come on.

That's it. Catch it at the other end.

Oh! Emma trying to get the black one in at that end...

Oh.

Chris next. Come on.

Less than 30 seconds to go now.

No! That was so close.

Now, Tabby, yellow.

Yes!

Emma next.

Red.

It's coming through and you've caught it, well done.

Chris to have a go with the green.

Yes, good.

Tabby now with the red.

She is racing round. That's it.

Only a few seconds left. Quickly, Emma!

Well caught. Chris, have we got time?

No!

-Well done, guys, happy with that?

-ALL: Yes.

-Brilliant. Nice one.

One more round to play before we add those Challenge points to your total,

to keep the suspense going. Round of applause for Tabby's team, everybody.

APPLAUSE

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

Tessa, I have three well-known tunes in my hand.

You will pick one and then re-create that tune

using this - the Copycats kazoo!

BLOWS FANFARE

OK. Matt, you will have to listen very carefully,

cos you are the one that will be copying it down the line.

There's a maximum of 50 points up for grabs.

Would everybody except for Tessa put their headphones on? Thank you.

The Copycats seem to be ready. Let's close the doors.

-OK, Tessa, which one?

-I'll go for the bluey-blue.

Have a look at that.

Any idea?

-No.

-OK.

That's fine, we are going to play it into the studio.

Try and get the melody in your head. Let's take a listen.

# Don't call my name Don't call my name

# Alejandro I'm not your babe

# I'm not your babe Fernando... #

The audience know it - Alejandro by Lady Gaga! All right.

-Best of luck to you.

-Thank you.

Ready, steady, play. Open the door.

SHE PLAYS "ALEJANDRO"

Very good.

PLAYS IN A DIFFERENT KEY

Not bad.

PLAYS DIFFERENT TUNE

OK, Emily.

IMITATES TUNE

OK, Jeremy.

Best of luck!

PLAYS DIFFERENT TUNE

LAUGHTER

Stop playing!

Please stop playing!

It started off so well. OK.

For 50 points, what is the answer we're looking for?

Was he playing Dancing Queen?

He was not playing Dancing Queen. Let's open the door for 40 points.

Jeremy?

-Living On A Prayer.

-What a great song!

It's not the one that I've got. For 30 points, Emily?

-So What?

-By Pink?

-Yeah.

-Not the one that we're looking for. Open the door. Patsy?

-Spinning Around.

-Kylie Minogue classic -

but it's not on the card.

OK. Finally, for ten points, Matt?

Was it Alejandro?

-Yes!

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

Get in there! Well done.

MUSIC: "Alejandro" by Lada Gaga

That means you get yourselves ten points. Well done.

-OK, Carol, we have a gold or a pink.

-Gold.

Gold! Take a look.

-Do you know that tune?

-I do. Thank goodness!

Excellent. We are going to play it into the studio - have a listen.

# Somewhere over the rainbow

# Way up high... #

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

SHE PLAYS TUNE

Beautiful. Megan, your turn.

IMITATES TUNE

Chris.

BLOWS AIR THROUGH KAZOO

HE PLAYS DIFFERENT PART OF TUNE

OK, Hollie.

PLAYS ANOTHER TUNE

Oh, it was going so well.

PLAYS "STAR WARS" THEME

Time's up! OK.

It started off so lovely and well.

Tabby, for 50 points, what is the answer?

-Star Wars!

-Star Wars theme tune. It's not.

-For 40 points, Emma?

-Star Trek?

It's not Star Trek.

OK, which means we're playing for 30 points. Hollie?

-EastEnders.

-The EastEnders theme tune.

-It's not.

-It's my fault. I mucked it up, sorry!

-I think it's Somewhere Over The Rainbow.

-It is! Let's hear it.

MUSIC: "Somewhere Over The Rainbow"

Excellent. Well done, guys. You get yourselves 20 points.

After three rounds, Tabby's team have 70 points

and Jono's team have 60 points.

All right. It's very close between the teams, with only ten points.

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

Which team triumphed over the tubes

-and which team are doing the victory dance...

-Nice!

..to the Copycats Ball Room.

All right, the wait is over.

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

I can also reveal that one team got 80 points.

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room...

I'm getting nervous myself! ..and playing for the trophy is...

..Jono's team!

Tabby's team, you have been a fantastic team.

-Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-ALL: Yes.

-Nice one.

Give it up for Tabby's team, everybody.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

All right, Jono's team.

Congratulations, you made it this far.

Now it is time to compete for the fabulous, money-can't-buy,

limited edition shiny springy thing that is this, the Copycats trophy!

So amazing! OK, here is the Ball Room.

Jono, who have you chosen to play the Ball Room?

-Emily and Matt.

-And yourself?

-Yes.

-All right.

Before we open the door, let's take a look

at what you have to do to win this.

# Da-na-na-na! #

I know!

The Ball Room. Players are each assigned a colour.

They must catch 12 of their colour and deposit them in the cylinders

before the time runs out. Good luck.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

OK! If you're ready, in three, two, one...

ALL: Blast the balls!

This is it then, Ball Room fans.

Matt is catching the blue balls,

Emily the yellow ones, Jono, team captain, catching the red.

We need 12 balls of each colour in those scoring cylinders.

Ignore the green balls. Only blue, yellow and red we're interested in.

Look at them. They're going in already.

They are doing this very quickly. Come on!

Let's keep up this pace. The red ones are going in.

Excellent.

Quickly as you can.

Time will run out before you know it.

Less than 30 seconds to go. Come on!

Got to catch these while they are in the air

not on the floor. It's not allowed. They're doing very well.

Almost there with the red ones.

Come on!

Quickly as you can.

We are OK on the red.

Pretty well OK on the yellow.

Blue ones to get as well. Another one going in.

And another one! This is very good going.

Let's check. How are we doing so far?

We are doing very well. Brilliant!

HOOTER

You did it with literally seconds to spare, but you did it!

-Jono's team, champions!

-Congratulations.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERS

-Like a beacon of loveliness.

-Thank you.

Jono's team, have you had a good time?

-ALL: Yes!

-Nice one. Give it up for Jono's team!

-I have some bad news.

-What?

-It's the end of the show.

-Shut up!

-Yeah, but we will be back.

-See you next time on Copycats. Bye!

-Bye!
