Episode 41 Copycats

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

Today's Copycats are...

Joel's team from Liverpool and Lottie's team from Newcastle.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yes.

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.

-Yes.

Only the privileged few get the chance to compete

for the money-can't-buy prize,

it is of course, the Copycats trophy.

CHEERING

-I'd prefer a mountain bike.

-Me too. Don't be so ungrateful!

-Sorry.

-Let's meet the teams.

-Let's do it.

Joel, team captain, plant it there.

-How are you doing, all right?

-Very Good.

-Excellent. Excited to be here?

-Very excited, we're raring to go.

-Team, raring to go?

-TEAM:

-Yeah!

Beautiful. Before we go any further, we want to get to know you better,

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

This is... Yes, we do have to, Tracie. Yes, we do. Run the tape.

-ALL:

-Hello! Hello!

# I was wandering by the banks of the river. #

We're going to be the winning team. High five.

# Bop, shawaddy-wah Bop-bop, shawaddy-wah! #

Looks like we've got a lively bunch, I like it.

-Joel, I believe you like to rap. Have you got a rap for us?

-I have.

All right, here we go, let's hear it. OK, go for it.

-RAPS:

-# Yeah, uh A fresh cool young Luke

# Tryna catch this microphone Check, two, one, two.

# I believe my own hype But it's two, one, true

# The world brought me to my knees Who've you brung, you? #

All right! Fantastic! Joel's team, everybody.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And over here, we've got Lottie's team, high-fiving.

-Yes! The rest of the team, you good?

-TEAM:

-Yeah!

Looking forward to it?

-Yeah! Are you looking forward to watching your audition tape?

-No.

-Oh!

Well, we're going to watch it, have a look.

# Hallelujah. #

# Met a boy, cute as could be. #

SHE SINGS WITH INDISTINCT LYRICS

SHE BURPS

Just want my family to win!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Now, Lottie, I hear you had a bit of a situation with some fake tan?

Yeah, what happened?

Um, me and my cousin Olivia, we decided to put fake tan on our legs.

We woke up the next morning with streaks all up our legs!

You're joking!

-Lottie's team, everyone!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right. It looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

As with every game of 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 face the Copycats Challenge a bit later on.

We tossed a coin before the show which told us Joel's team play first.

Let's play Copycats.

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

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

I've got three cards in my hand, you choose one card.

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

to the person next to you, which is Joel, and so on down the line.

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

but as we pass it back,

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

-Copycats, are you ready?

-Yes!

-In that case, let's close the doors.

Pick a card. Yellow, pink or blue. The pink one. Take a good look.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-Yep.

-Lovely, get your pen ready.

Ten seconds, ready, steady, draw!

Try and use all ten seconds if you can. OK.

Good copying.

OK, Steve, your turn.

All right, Matt, your turn, go for it.

Good copying. Very good copying. Tracie, your turn.

Time's up!

Good copying. Good copying.

OK, Tom, for 50 points, what's the answer we're looking for?

Flying a kite.

Yay!

It was indeed a kite. Excellent.

I like that Denise, you started with a kite,

then, Joel, you knew what it was, so you added detail.

Well done, Quick On The Draw, you get yourselves 50 points.

All right, Claire? We've got a blue or yellow, which one do you want?

-Yellow, have a look at that. Have you got that?

-Yes.

OK, good luck to you, Claire. Ready, steady, draw, open the door.

Try and use all of the time.

OK, Lottie.

OK, Kirsty. You see Kirsty's face there?!

Try and get as much detail in there as possible.

OK, Jess.

OK, Aimee, last ten seconds.

It's a tricky one.

OK, stop drawing!

All right.

It was a tricky one.

Olivia, for 50 points, any idea what Aimee has drawn?

Erm, is it a burger?

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

Let's open the door for 40 points.

Is it a train?

It is not a train. OK, let's open the door.

Jess, come on, what are we looking for, for 30 points?

-Is it a hedgehog?

-It is not a hedgehog. OK, let's open the door.

-For 20 points, Kirsty, what has Lottie drawn there?

-An umbrella?

An umbrella? It's not an umbrella.

-Come on, for ten points, was the answer, Lottie?

-A pineapple?

-A pineapple! What is it, Claire?

-It's a woolly hat!

It's a woolly hat! Oh! No!

Unfortunately, that means you get zero points,

but give them a round of applause anyway!

APPLAUSE

-Ooh!

-All right, after Quick On The Draw,

are Joel's team flying high after that performance?

Have Lottie's team pulled the wool over the eyes of the opposition?

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

Well, Mark, after Quick On The Draw, Joel's team have 50 points

and Lottie's team have no points.

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

Yes, the game just got serious,

this is the Copycats Challenge.

-I don't know why I pointed!

-I like it!

Because Joel's team won the toss before the show,

they will be the first to attempt the Challenge.

Lottie's team, so you don't get a preview,

we're sending you away, we'll see you in a second.

Bye, Lottie's team.

-Get yourselves a cup of tea.

-You've got to!

-And a crumpet!

Ooh!

Joel, as team captain, you need to select three people to face

the tougher-than-tough Copycats Challenge.

But let's find out how tough this challenge is. Mr D, what could it be?

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

OK, team, are you ready? OK, best of luck.

In three, two, one, play!

A minute to complete all three segments, beginning with Joel.

Come on, Joel!

Team captain, after all. This is good going. Halfway there, look.

Trying to get that ball into the centre as quickly as possible.

It's nearly there. Just a little bit further. That's it, good.

Onto Matt's segment now.

Careful. That's it. Round and round it goes, to find the next gap.

Look at the concentration on these faces. Fantastic.

Talk to each other, though.

Very nearly there, and it's going round... Yes, that's it, good.

Finally, Tracie. 20 seconds to go.

Come on, get this into the middle if you can. Come on.

Quickly as poss, halfway there.

Avoid any of the dead ends. In towards the middle.

Ooh, just... That's it, through there.

In the middle... Yes, oh!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Come over here, team. Excellent stuff, you got all three balls. Yes!

We will add those Challenge points to your total after The Music Round.

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

The points from these challenges make all the difference,

a dream ticket to The Ball Room is at stake.

Come on!

OK, welcome back to the game, Lottie's team. This is Mime Time.

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

You then have ten seconds to mime what is on that card

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

We are looking for silent performances. OK? Brilliant.

There is a maximum of 50 points to be won, so if you know the answer,

try to add more detail as it goes down the line.

-Are you ready? TEAM:

-Yeah!

In that case, let's close the doors.

OK, Lottie, sweetheart, I was going to say, we've got blue,

yellow and pink, but you've chosen pink, so look at that.

Yeah? Got that? You look confident, Lottie, I like it.

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

OK, Kirsty.

(Yay!)

OK.

OK, Aimee.

OK, Olivia, watch that door!

Ten seconds.

Stop miming, please!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well, whatever you were doing, you were having a good time,

which is the main thing.

Claire, for 50 points, any idea what Olivia was miming?

-Tennis.

-Oh, it's not playing tennis. OK, let's open the door.

Olivia, 40 points, let's get some points on the board.

Was it...rounders?

It's not, I'm afraid, what we've got on the card.

-Let's open the door for 30 points, Aimee, come on.

-Baseball?

It's not baseball.

OK, let's open the door for 20 points.

-Is it basketball?

-It is not basketball.

Come on, ten points, what was Lottie miming?

-Playing...cricket.

-Yes!

I've got to say, Lottie, you weren't playing Test cricket,

you were playing 20-20 cricket,

you were smashing it all over the place for 70 million runs!

Lottie's team, you get yourselves ten points! Get in there!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Joely-baby, chips and gravy, pick a card. Blue or yellow.

-I'll go for blue.

-Take a look.

-Reckon you can mime that?

-Yep.

-Awesome. You've got ten seconds.

The best of luck, Joel. Ready, steady, mime!

OK, Steve, your turn.

OK, Matt, go for it.

Tracie's watching very, very closely.

OK, Tracie, your turn.

Wow! Tom, go for it.

Time's up! OK!

Interesting. Denise, 50 points, what do you think the answer is?

Smacking someone!

That did look like he was doing that, but that's not the answer.

For 40 points, Tom, what do you think the answer is?

-Maybe baking a cake?

-Really? Is that what you were doing? Baking a cake?

It wasn't. We are playing for 30 points. Tracie?

-Playing the cello?

-Nice! It's not playing the cello,

-we are playing for 20. Matt, what do you think?

-Dusting?

It's not dusting. OK. The minimum, 10 points. Steve?

Taking children across the road?

-Close, but that's not it. George, tell us.

-A traffic policeman.

It was a traffic policeman!

Close though! Close on the last bit, Steve.

So sadly, Joel's team, at the end of Mime Time, you get no points.

But it was entertaining. Give them a round of applause.

APPLAUSE

All right. After Mime Time,

are Lottie's team stumped after that performance?

Are Joel's team stranded on the motorway going nowhere?

Over to you, Mr D.

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

and Lottie's team have 10 points.

Right, time to get serious,

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

Joel's team scored important points in theirs,

but did they do enough? Time will tell.

Lottie, it is your chance to add crucial points to your score. Ready?

-Yes!

-Yeah!

Hugging and everything. It's lovely. Get off.

Joel's team, see you later. Go put the kettle on.

Bye!

Bye. The results of the Challenge will be revealed

at the end of The Music Round, when the extra points scored

may determine which team win their ticket to The Ball Room.

Lottie, as captain, you select three people for the Challenge.

But before that, you get to see what we have in store for you.

Mr D, what could it be?

The Maze. As before, The Maze is divided into three parts.

Each segment contains a ball.

Tilt the game to get the balls into the holes at the centre.

40 points will be awarded for each segment completed.

OK, three, two, one, play!

And we begin with Olivia's segment.

There we go. Off to a good start, look.

That's it. In towards the centre. Quickly as you can.

Don't lose any time. That was good progress.

All the way round... Look! Almost in the centre, is it there? Yes, it is!

We move on to Lottie's segment now.

Come on, Lottie. Oh, careful.

Past a gap, but was it the one you needed? Back you go.

Through there. That's it Good.

Now we are making progress. This is good.

That's it. They are working together on this. Good!

That was very fast. Aimee's segment remains. Come on.

Not long to go. Quickly as you can! That's it. To me, to you, to me.

That's it! We're almost there!

Oh, into the middle,

and it is there...now!

CHEERING

Awesome, fantastic. All right.

One more round to play before we add the points to your total.

We like to keep the suspense going. Round of applause!

Welcome back, Joel's team. Now, this is The Music Round.

Steve, you pick a tune and play it to the person next to you

using the Copycats kazoo, which sounds like this.

HE PLAYS A FANFARE

Some would say annoying.

Matt, you need to listen to what Steve's playing carefully,

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

50 points to be won, perfect playing means perfect points.

Could everybody except Steve put your headphones on,

so you don't hear the song that's being selected.

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

Steve, pick a tune. He's gone for the blue one.

-Have you heard of that?

-Never!

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

Let's hear it.

# Baby, baby, baby, oh, like

# Baby, baby, baby, no, like. #

-OK, Steve, are you ready?

-Go for it.

-OK, good luck.

In three, two, one, play!

HE PLAYS THE TUNE

Really good! Really good!

Good. Tracie?

Tom, your turn.

Denise, go for it.

Time's up! Stop playing.

APPLAUSE

Not bad. Not bad copying down the line. Joel, 50 points.

-What is the answer?

-I know it.

-HE HUMS

-Take That, Could It Be Magic?

-Oh, what a tune. It's not, sorry.

-We are playing for 40 points. Denise?

-Spinning Around?

Great song. It is not,

so we are playing for 30 points. Tom, what is this song?

-We Will Rock You by Queen.

-It's not We Will Rock You.

Tracie, any idea?

Lady Gaga? Bad Romance?

It's not Lady Gaga, we are playing for 10 points.

Steve, considering you didn't know the song, you did a cracking job.

-Matt, any idea?

-Um...

-Under My Umbrella?

-Oh, by Rhianna. It's not.

-Steve, do you want to tell everybody?

-Baby.

-By Justin Bieber.

Let's hear it.

# Baby, baby, baby, oh, like

# Baby, baby, baby, no, like. #

It was pretty good copying.

But at the end of The Music Round, Joel's team, you get no points.

But give them a round of applause anyway.

Good luck, Kirsty. I have pink or yellow. Which one would you like?

-Pink.

-Have a look at that.

-Oh, yes.

-You like that?

Let's have a listen.

# I should be so lucky Lucky, lucky, lucky

# I should be so lucky in love... #

You know, don't you?

The legend that is Kylie Minogue. Good luck to you, Kirsty.

Ready, steady, play, open the door!

OK!

OK, Aimee.

Nice(!)

Lovely little tune.

Yeah! OK.

Whatever Claire was playing, it was heavy metal!

OK, for a maximum of 50 points, Lottie, what's the answer?

Is it Promise by Girls Aloud?

It's not. OK, let's open the door. 40 points. Claire, come on.

-What we looking for?

-Is it Coronation Street?

That's not what we are looking for. OK, for 30 points, Olivia?

-Is it EastEnders theme tune?

-We are going through all the soaps!

But it's not right. It's not what's on the card. Aimee, for 20 points.

I don't know what I did. The Simpsons theme tune?

No, not The Simpsons theme tune. Come on, Jess.

-Is it Kylie Minogue, I Should Be So Lucky?

-That's exactly what it is!

-# I should be so lucky

-Lucky, lucky, lucky

# I should be so lucky in love. # Great song.

-# I should be so lucky... #

-Kirsty, that was brilliant.

You get yourselves 10 points, well done.

Right, after three rounds, Joel's team have 50 points,

and Lottie's team have 20 points.

Very, very close,

but we still have the scores from the Copycats Challenge.

Which team amazed us?

Which team are doing the quickstep

for the Copycats Ball Room, cha-cha-cha?

Sam, over to you.

Wow. The wait is over,

I can reveal that both teams scored 150 points.

AUDIENCE: Oooh!

The team going through to The Ball Room and playing for the trophy is...

..Joel's team!

-Commiserations, Lottie's team. You had a good time?

-Yes.

You have been a fantastic team. Give it up for Lottie's team!

OK, Joel's team, you have made it this far,

and now it is time to compete for

the fabulous limited-edition, shiny, springy Copycats trophy.

AUDIENCE: Ooooh!

Oh, yeah, and here is The Ball Room.

Joel, who have you chosen to take part today?

-I've chosen Tom and Auntie Denise.

-Excellent. Before we open the doors,

let's look at what you have to do to win this.

The Ball Room. Players are each assigned a colour.

They catch 12 of their colour

and deposit them in the scoring cylinders

before the time runs out. Good luck.

Joel's team, if you are ready, three, two, one, blast the balls!

Here we go, Ball-Room fans.

Denise is catching the blue balls, Joel - yellow, Tom - red.

We need 12 of each in the scoring cylinders.

That's what's required. Catch those balls in the air.

You can't pick them up from the floor. It's not allowed.

Quickly as you can. Some blue ones in there.

Another one going in. Yellow one going in. And a red one.

That's good. But is it good enough? That's the question.

Time is running out. Less than 30 seconds, come on!

Quickly as you can. Even Stevens.

Let's get plenty of those balls in those cylinders.

Fast as you can, come on.

Blue and red - OK, yellow - behind at the moment. There's another.

Time's running out, guys. Blue and yellow - nearly there.

Quickly as you can!

Yellow's OK, blue's OK, we need reds!

Don't put your hands up.

KLAXON HONKS

Unfortunately, you were close. You got 11 of the red balls.

But you didn't make it. So that means you didn't get the trophy.

I have to put this away, sorry. See you another day, trophy.

-But you do get T-shirts. Have you had a good time?

-Yes.

You have been a great team. Give it up for Joel's team.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That's the end of the show. Can you believe it?

-Don't worry. We'll be back next time. See you on Copycats.

-Bye!
