Episode 42 Copycats

Welcome to Copycats, with your hosts Sam and Mark.

And today's Copycats are

Molly's Team from Essex and Grace's Team from County Antrim.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-This is good!

-Oh yeah!

-BOTH: 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 to compete

for the ultimate money can't buy prize -

it is of course the Copycats trophy.

AUDIENCE: Ooooh!

Nice one.

-Shall we meet today's Copycats?

-Let's do this. All right.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh yeah! Molly, you're head of your team.

-Welcome to the show. How are you?

-I'm fine.

-Excellent.

-Team, you all all right?

-ALL: Yeah!

Beautiful. Before we go any further we are going to look

at your audition tape. This is the reason you got to be on Copycats.

This should be very funny. Let's take a look.

# Going back to the corner where I first saw you... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Wow. Thanks for coming. It'll be a great show. Good luck!

We've got team captain Grace. How you doing, Grace? All right?

-I'm fine.

-You're nervous, aren't you? I can feel it!

How's everybody else? All good? ALL: Yeah

Raring to go, all right.

You've seen Molly's team's audition tape.

It's only fair we see yours. Let's see why you're on Copycats. Ahh!

OW!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

It looks like those cats are ready to get copying.

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 on.

Before the show, we tossed a coin to decide who'd go first.

Grace, your team won, so let's play Copycats!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

It's time to play Quick On The Draw.

I have three cards for you to choose from.

You've to pick one and you have ten seconds to draw what's on it

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

There's a maximum of 50 points but, as we pass back down the line,

you lose ten points for every incorrect answer.

Copycats, ready? ALL: Yeah!

Let's close the doors!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, Jim. Orange, purple or blue.

He's going for the blue one. Have a look at that.

-OK. Got that in your head?

-Yes.

OK. Ready, steady, draw!

OK.

Make sure if you've got time, you put more detail in.

Grace is looking.

OK.

MARK LAUGHS

All right, Evelyn. Keep watching.

Interesting.

All right.

Anna, keep watching what Evelyn's drawing.

Oof!

MARK LAUGHS

All right!

It's, er... It's getting interesting!

OK. All right. Watch the door.

Good luck, Oliver!

All right, time is up! All right. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

For a maximum of 50 points, any idea what Frank has drawn?

-A camel?

-It is not a camel.

Playing for 40 points. Let's open the door.

-Sun-tanning machine.

-It's not what we're looking for, unfortunately.

Let's open the door. Now playing for 30 points.

Something going to the sun?

It looks like that! But it's not what we're looking for. OK.

-20 points.

-Did you draw somebody eating an ice cream?

It's not, I'm afraid. OK, 10 points.

I think that's all right, mate. But that's just me.

-Grace?

-Boxing gloves!

-It's boxing gloves!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Brilliant! That means Grace's team get ten points!

Well done! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-John, two cards left. Pink or yellow?

-Yellow, please.

-Yellow.

-Take a look.

-OK.

-Are you happy with that?

-Very happy.

OK, you've got ten seconds. Best of luck.

Ready, steady, draw!

Take a good look, Molly.

Nice drawing. Molly, your turn.

Right, Gail, your turn.

Harry! Your turn!

Right, Terry, go for it.

-OK, time's up!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Wow!

Jacky, baby, chips and gravy,

for a maximum of 50 points, any idea what Terry's drawn?

-A jellyfish?

-It does look like one, but that's not the answer.

-We're playing for 40 points. Open the door. Terry?

-Spaceship.

Nice thinking. It does look like a spaceship but that's not right.

-We're playing for 30 points. Harry, any idea what Gail's drawn?

-A car?

It does look like a car but that's not what were looking for.

Look at Gail's face! Gail, we're playing for 20 points.

-Any idea what Molly's drawn?

-Motor car, or something...

I can see the reason you've chosen that answer,

but it's not what we're looking for. Molly. Any idea what John's drawn?

-Igloo.

-An igloo! It is!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well, not bad. You get yourselves ten points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Whoa! Not quite a knockout performance from Grace's team.

And an icy start from Molly's team. Let's see the scores.

Mr D, what could they be?

Well, Sam, after Quick On The Draw, Molly's team have ten points

and Grace's team also have ten points.

-Very close.

-Well, very, very close.

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

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

Grace's team, you'll be first to attempt the challenge.

Before we reveal what awaits you, there's one more thing to do.

Indeed. Molly's team, so you don't have an unfair advantage,

we've got to say goodbye to you for a bit.

-See you later, Molly's team!

-Bye!

-Bye! Off you go.

I feel harsh whenever we do that.

All right. Grace, you need to select three people to face 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 12 blocks, one at a time,

without the tower falling. Ten points will be awarded

for each block removed.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Grace, are you ready?

-Yep.

-OK. Your time starts now.

'Grace, team captain to start.

'It's ten points for each block successfully removed.

'Going for one of the side ones, which is brave.

'Or is she?

'The team are suggesting, choose another one.

MR D LAUGHS

'Try a middle one, yes. That might be easier.

'It is, look. It's moving.

'Push it through as far as you can and then go round to the other side

-'and pull it clear.'

-MR D LAUGHS

'She's frightened of the tower falling!

'It's all right, don't worry!

'Brilliant - well done. Quickly as you can to the side.

Next, it's Anna.

Now, which is Anna going to go for?

Pushing gently on one of the red ones.

It's come through at the other side. That's good.

Again, you have to pull it through.

Quickly as you can, though.

Time is running out.

Gently does it.

Nearly there... Yes, good!

Now it is Frank's turn.

Frank going for one of the high ones.

There he is.

Be careful, though. The Tower, if it falls,

the game is over.

One of the side red ones.

Will it clear?

Yes! Well done, Frank.

Next, it is Grace's turn again.

Going for one of the lower ones.

A yellow block.

Again it comes through.

Gently does it. That's it, good!

Let's move, guys.

Anna is next.

Just a few seconds to go.

Can we get this one? Quickly! I think we can!

Yes! Come on!

That is fantast...

I tell you what, at the end there, you made it look really easy.

That means that you got six blocks out.

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

Molly's team still need to face the Copycat Challenge.

The points from those can make all the difference,

cos a dream ticket to the Ball Room is at stake.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back to the game, Molly's team. This is Mime Time.

I have got three cards. Molly, you pick one and you will

then have ten seconds to mime what is on that card

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

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 points

for every incorrect answer. Are you ready, Copycats?

ALL: Yes!

All right! Let's close the doors!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, Molly. Yellow, blue or pink?

-Pink.

-Going for a pink one.

Take a look.

Do you reckon you can mime that?

-Yep.

-OK.

The best of luck. You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, mime!

Good luck, Gail.

All right, Gail, your turn.

That's not a bad copy.

He-he-he!

All right, Harry, go for it!

Think Terry might know what it is. OK, Terry, your turn.

Ha-ha!

Ha-ha-ha!

Jack's laughing away.

All right, go for it.

Time's up! OK, very good!

John, for a maximum of 50 points,

any idea what Jack was miming there?

Eh, a football injury. Someone's just taken a penalty?

Ooh! I see where you are going, but that's not the answer

we are looking for. OK, for 40 points.

Jack, any idea what Terry was excellently miming there?

Needing to go to the toilet?

Gimme five! All right!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Very, very good!

Excellent stuff. That means, in Mime Time, you guys get

yourselves 40 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Grace, I have two cards remaining.

Do you want the orange or the blue?

-The blue.

-Blue!

OK, have a look at that.

-OK.

-OK.

Oh, you look a bit nervous.

I'm sure you'll be fine.

Ready, steady, mime!

OK...

Good.

Keep watching, Evelyn.

A lot of detail in there. That's good. OK, Evelyn.

OK, Anna.

Right, Frank.

Get as much in there as you possibly can.

Whatever you think it is.

All right.

It's good copying.

Oliver is smiling.

OK. He's taking all the information in, Oliver.

OK. The final time.

OK, time's up!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, Jim. For a maximum of 50 points,

what was Oliver miming?

-Peeling a banana.

-I'm going to say he was peeling something,

because you have got that right, but not a banana.

40 points, Oliver. Any idea what that mime was?

-Peeling an apple?

-It's not the right one.

Let's open the door. For 30 points, Frank?

Peeling a wrapper off a sweet.

Wasn't doing that, I'm afraid.

Let's open the door. For 20 points, Anna?

-Peeling a pear?

-It's not a pear.

OK, finally, for 10 points.

Evelyn, what was being peeled?!

-An onion?

-It wasn't an onion!

-What were you peeling?

-An orange.

Oh, an orange!

Of course, it was!

Oh, sorry about that. Well, Grace's team,

you get zero points, but give them a round of applause!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Molly's team were bursting for a high score there.

Unfortunately, Grace's team effort proved fruitless.

Now, for those important scores, Mr D, what could they be?

Well, Mark, after Mime Time,

Molly's team have 50 points

and Grace's team have 10 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, guys, it's time to get serious, once again, because Molly's team

are about to face the Copycats Challenge.

Yes, earlier in the show, Grace's team built up a pile of those

all-important points in their challenge, but did they do enough?

Only time will tell.

Now, Molly's team, it's your chance to add some crucial points

to your overall score.

And Grace's team, it's time for you to leave.

No offence! Off you go. We'll see you later. Bye!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Remember, the result of the challenge will be revealed at the end

of the music round, when the extra points scored here may determine

which team wins their tickets to the Ball Room. Oh, it's so tense!

Molly, as captain, you need to choose three people

to take part in the Copycats Challenge,

but before that,

let's take a look what's in store for you.

Mr D, over to you.

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

one at a time, without it falling over.

Ten points will be awarded for each block removed.

Best of luck, John.

Your time starts...now!

We are aiming to grab 12 bricks,

one at a time, without the structure falling.

John to start.

Which one is he going to go for?

One of the side ones. A black brick.

Brings it clear.

And he's done it! Brilliant! Terry next!

One of the red ones.

That's clear, as well. Excellent. Molly next.

Team captain. Going for a side brick, as well.

Black? Yellow?

Yellow one is moving. That's good.

Gently does it, though, Molly.

If The Tower falls over, the game is complete.

We can do no more,

than be gentle.

That's it. Good! John next.

John dives in, takes a yellow one.

Very good. Terry.

Going for a lower part of The Tower.

He takes a yellow, as well. Brilliant.

We are scoring here. This is good news.

10 points for each block successfully removed.

And get all 12 - an extra 30 points.

A red one going there.

This is very, very good.

Ha-ha-ha!

Molly next.

Come on, Molly.

Another side one. A red one.

That comes clear, as well. Wow!

And another one!

Terry... Yes!

Molly, quickly as you can.

Time is running out!

Oh, gently! Excellent!

Oh!

CHEERING

I'm afraid that last one doesn't count,

but I don't think it really matters You've got one, two, three, four,

five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, 12!

Awesome! Which means you completed the challenge. Congratulations.

Wow, that was amazing!

Now, there is only one more round to play

before we add those challenge points to your total,

because we like to keep you guessing, here on Copycats.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Grace's team!

Now this is The Music Round.

All you have to do is pick a tune,

then play it for the person next to you

using the Copycats kazoo, like this...

KAZOO HUMS

How Am I Supposed To Live Without You?

Michael Bolton. Ask your dads.

If you give a correct answer

at the end of the line, you win a maximum 50 points.

And for every wrong answer, you lose ten of those valuable points.

So could everybody, except for Evelyn,

put on their headphones. Fantastic.

The Copycats are ready. Please, close the doors!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Evelyn, you are going to need to pick one of these popular tunes.

OK, I'll do it. OK.

Orange, blue or purple?

-I'll go for the orange.

-Orange, have a look at that.

-OK. OK.

-Oh! That was a confident "OK".

Get your ears tuned into this song...

# If you change your mind

# I'm the first in line

# Honey, I'm still free

# Take a chance on me... #

-Yeah. All right, do you think you can copy that, Evelyn?

-I hope so.

Me too!

All right, then. Well, ready, steady, play! OK!

Open the doors.

SHE PLAYS TAKE A CHANCE ON ME

OK, brilliant.

SHE STRUGGLES TO PLAY THE SONG

All right! Yeah!

HE PLAYS

Play on, it's great!

HE PLAYS

HE STOPS PLAYING Use up all the time.

HE STRUGGLES TO PLAY THE SONG

Oh, poor Jim.

HE PLAYS A DIFFERENT TUNE

MARK LAUGHS Time up! Stop! Stop.

Stop the madness!

For 50 points, any idea what Jim was playing on the kazoo there?

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star?

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star is not what we're looking for.

Let's open the doors. For 40 points, Jim.

Theme song to EastEnders?

It wasn't the theme tune for EastEnders. OK.

Come on, Oliver, you can do this! For 30 points, what was Frank playing?

Was it the theme tune to Star Wars?

It wasn't. Open the door.

It did sound like that, but for 20 points,

any idea what Anna was playing?

I'm going to try for...

Indiana Jones.

Oh, yeah! But it's not. I'm saying "yeah", but you got it wrong still.

Sorry, that was mean of me.

Let's open the doors. For ten points, Anna.

Come on. What was Evelyn playing?

-Just Dance?

-Just Dance.

It's not Just Dance, unfortunately. Evelyn?

Take A Chance On Me.

Let's have a listen.

# If you change your mind

# I'm the first in line

# Honey, I'm still free

# Take a chance on me... #

Unfortunately, Grace's team get zero points again,

but give them a round of applause, come on!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, Gail, pick a card - pink or blue. Pink!

Take a good look.

-Do you know that tune?

-Yeah, I do, but...

OK, you're not sure, don't worry, we're playing it to the studio.

# Now you're in New York

# These streets'll make you feel brand new

# Big lights will inspire you... #

OK, the best of luck. You've got ten seconds, ready, steady, play!

SHE PLAYS EMPIRE STATE OF MIND

Nice work, Gail. Harry looks like he's got it.

HE PLAYS THE SONG PERFECTLY

Terry's shaking his head, was good though.

HE PLAYS

Whoa! OK, Jack.

HE PLAYS

John, go for it!

HE PLAYS

Whoa!

Time is up!

-OK.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Any idea what John was meant to be playing there?

EastEnders theme?

It wasn't the EastEnders tune.

OK, we're playing for 40 points.

John, any idea what Jack was playing?

-Star Wars theme?

-It wasn't the Star Wars theme tune.

OK. For 30 points, Jack.

Dancing Queen?

It wasn't Dancing Queen.

OK. That means we're playing for 20 points.

Terry, any idea what Harry was playing, really well actually?

-We Will Rock You.

-It wasn't We Will Rock You.

OK, we're playing for the minimum.

Harry, any idea what Gail was playing?

-Empire State...

-Yeah!

# New York

# These streets'll make you... #

Excellent stuff. That means you get yourselves...ten points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK. So after three rounds, Molly's team have 60 points,

and Grace's team have ten points.

All right, so...

as the scores stand, there are 50 points between the teams, but...

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

Which team conquered the tower?

Which team are set to storm the Ball Room?

Sam! Over to you.

Thank you, Mark. The wait is over.

I can reveal that one team scored 60 points...

..and the other team completed the challenge

to score a massive 150 points.

-AUDIENCE:

-Woo-hoo!

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

It's Molly's team!

Commiserations to Grace's team, I'm sorry.

You guys did some fantastic copying today

and you did fantastic in The Tower earlier on.

-Have you had a good day?

-Yes, it's been brilliant.

Thank you. Grace's team, everybody!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

and now it's time to compete for the fabulous, money-can't-buy,

limited-edition, shiny, spring-thing that is the Copycats trophy!

-AUDIENCE:

-Woo-ooh!

-Take a look.

-It's shiny.

-OK, guys.

Here is the Ball Room.

Now, Molly, who have you chosen to take part?

-Harry and Jack.

-Harry, Jack and yourself.

Beautiful.

Well, before we open the doors,

let's take a look and see what you have to do to win.

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

Three, two, one...

-TOGETHER: Blast the balls!

-That's what we do.

Balls fly into the air.

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

you can't pick them up from the floor of the Ball Room,

it's not allowed. Well done, Molly, already putting yellow ones in.

Good. Quickly as you can. Time runs out on this game.

There's Harry putting a blue one in there

and in goes a red one from Jack.

Quickly as you can.

Only 25 seconds left now.

Got to get 12 of these in each of the scoring cylinders, remember?

Lots of applause.

But not enough balls going in, come on!

Quickly as you can!

Got to be fast on this game.

No time for messing around.

Come on!

Get those balls in the cylinders, come on!

-Oh!

-KLAXON HONKS

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Molly's team, it doesn't look quite as though you've done it,

the tubes are not full, unfortunately.

Sorry about that, guys.

That means you will not be getting your hands on the Copycats trophy.

We'll have to give that back to security.

But you won't be going away empty-handed,

we've got Copycats T-shirts for you. Have you had a good day?

-Yes!

-Beautiful.

-Nice one. That's what it's all about.

OK, well, I can't believe it's all over, I'm welling up.

-The end of the show! We'll see you next time on Copycats.

-Bye!
