Episode 43 Copycats

Welcome to Copycats, with your hosts Sam and Mark!

And today's Copycats are Thady's team fro Co Down

and Holly's team from Liverpool.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

BOTH: Hello!

And welcome to Copycats, the game show where copying is good.

-Why are you looking so smug?

-Well, I've only gone and written a book.

-A novel, if you will.

-Ooh! CHEERING

Check you out! What's it about?

-It's about 80 pages.

-No, the story. What's the story about?

Well, it's a thriller set in a TV game show

where one of the presenters suddenly disappears

and the other, much more talented presenter solves the mystery.

-Wow. Sounds like you could be the next Agatha Christie.

-Who?

Doesn't matter. Come on, tell us. How does he solve the mystery?

Let's just say he shouldn't have used the studio toilet

-with the dodgy lock.

-LAUGHTER

-Smelly.

-Hang on, wait a minute. You're telling me he's in the toilet?

Sh! Don't give it away!

-I will not be buying that.

-Oh.

-Shall we meet today's teams?

-Yeah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thady, team captain, plant it right on my palm.

CHEERING

A lively bunch, I like it.

-How you doing, Thady? All right?

-Yeah. I'm very excited.

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

-Yeah!

Beautiful. Before we go on, we'll get to know you a bit better.

So we'll look at your audition tape. This is why you're on Copycats.

Roll it!

O, N, M, L, K, J, I, H, G, F, E, D, C, B, A.

Whoo!

# Oh, Shenandoah I long to hear you... #

I think we're full of fun, energy. we could win, no problem at all.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Very, very energetic team. And very loud!

Only dogs could hear that scream!

It's Thady's team. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

-High-five. Yeah!

-CHEERING

-Everybody excited?

-Yeah!

You certainly look it. Are you excited to see your audition tape?

-No!

-Oh, well, unfortunately, we will see it. Let's have a look.

We should go on Copycats because there's no-one like us.

Seven, eight, one, two...

The name's Bond. James Bond.

-I'm Holly's sister.

-Brother!

-Brother!

Big fish, little fish, cardboard box!

Pick us! Pick us!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Our teams can dance today! Fantastic to have you on Copycats.

Holly's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-I've got a good feeling about this show.

-Me, too.

Our teams are ready to start copying.

They'll 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

and a chance to win the ultimate money-can't-buy prize -

-the Copycats trophy!

-AUDIENCE: Ooh!

-All right!

-I know.

-We tossed a coin before the show,

and Thady's team will play first. Let's play Copycats.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, I hope you've been brushing up on your artistic skills -

it's time to play Quick On The Draw.

Brooke, I've got three cards in my hand. You'll pick one and have

ten seconds to draw what's on it to Thady, and so on down the line.

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

but as we pass it back down the line, you lose ten for every wrong answer.

Copycats, are you ready? ALL: Yeah!

Awesome! Let's close the doors!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Brooke, we've got three cards - blue, yellow or pink.

-Have to go for the pink one.

-Pink. Take a look.

The answer on the card will appear onscreen.

If you want to play at home, look away now.

-Are you happy with that?

-Oh, I'm happy.

-Beautiful.

You've got ten seconds. Ready, steady, draw!

OK, Thady, your turn.

OK, Rachel!

OK.

Linda, your turn.

Time's up! Stop drawing. OK! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Very good. Very good copying.

-Nicole, for 50 points, what are we looking for?

-A tennis racket.

-Yeah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Look at that! Perfect all the way down the line!

Beautiful. A cracking start. You get yourselves 50 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Kate, we've got goldy-goldy yellow or blue.

Ooh, going for yellow. OK. Have a look at that.

-Got that?

-Yeah.

-Got that?

Good luck. Ready, steady, draw!

Open the door.

Ooh, Holly's ready and raring.

All right, John. Your turn, mate.

All right, here we go.

Still got a bit of time. Try and get as much detail as possible.

OK. come on, Leah.

All right. Stop drawing!

APPLAUSE

OK. Not bad copying all the way down the line. For 50 points, Jonathan,

-any idea what Leah's drawn?

-Is it a pineapple?

-It is!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-He's right! 50 points! Come on!

Bring it on! Get in!

Yes! Oh, that was fantastic!

It was a pineapple. Holly's team get off to a great start -

maximum 50 points. Nice work!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Ooh!

-All right!

So, after Quick On The Draw, is it game, set and match

or just deuce for Thady's team?

Mm. And are Holly's team doing the Agadoo?

# Push pineapple Shake a tree. #

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

Well, Mark, after Quick On the Draw, Thady's team have 50 points

and Holly's team also have 50 points.

-Could not be closer.

-Mm.

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

The game just got serious. This is the Copycats Challenge.

-As Thady's team won the toss, they'll go first.

-Holly's team,

So you don't get a sneaky peak of what's coming, we'll send you off.

-Say goodbye to Holly's team! Bye! Bye!

-Bye!

-Bye!

-Enjoy the rest!

-You've got to!

-Put your feet up!

-Have a sleep!

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

the mind-blowing Copycats Challenge.

But first, let's see what's in store. Mr D, what could it be?

The Puzzle.

An image of a completed puzzle will be displayed on screen.

You must copy this image by sliding the tiles into position.

Ten points for every square in the correct place

when the time runs out.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Best of luck, team. In three, two, one, slide!

'On the screen is the completed puzzle.

'We need to replicate that on the floor.

'Quickly as possible

'Ten points for each square in the right place.

'Lots of advice coming from the rest of the team.

'Let's go, girls, says Brooke.

'Come on, quickly as you can. Talk to each other.'

Good. Good. Good, guys.

'Shares ideas and thoughts as you go along.

'Take any advice you like

'from the other members of the team.

'Keep the tiles on the move, though. That's the answer.

'Set up a bit of a circular motion.

'Get as many of these in the right place as you can.'

MR D LAUGHS

45 seconds left.

'Are they giving the best advice?

'They're taking a break here.

'Assessing where they are so far.

'Come on. You need more of these in the right place.

'That's how to score points!

'Keep them on the move.

'That's it. Pull that one across.'

-Pull the red across!

-MR D LAUGHS

'Come on, quickly as you can. Time's running out. Come on.'

Come on. Get a bit quicker now.

-'Not long to go.'

-Yellows across!

'That's it. Are you going to move one more?

'Come on - quickly as you can! Time's running out!'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, guys. It's a lot harder then it looks, isn't it?

-How was that?

-Quite hard, but we communicated well.

Brooke helped us out a lot, so...

Definitely. Good team work going on and I can reveal that you got

six puzzle pieces in the correct positions.

Well done, guys.

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

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

The points from these challenges could make all the difference -

a ticket to The Ball Room is at stake. Well done!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right. Holly's team, it's time to play Mime Time.

Holly, I've got three cards. You'll pick one,

then you'll have ten seconds to mime what's on it for John,

and so on down the line.

There's a maximum of 50 points.

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

-Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL: Yes.

-Close the doors!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

We've got three cards for you -

yellowy gold, bluey blue and pinky pink.

Going for the blue!

-OK.

-You got that?

-Yep.

-All right.

Good luck, Holly. Ready, steady, mime. Open the door.

OK. John.

All right, John. Watch that door.

OK. Keep watching.

Watch your arm.

MARK LAUGHS

Longest ten seconds ever for Leah!

-Stop miming!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Some excellent copying down the line,

but what are we looking for for the maximum of 50 points, Kate?

-A slow-motion runner.

-It is not slow-motion running.

OK, let's open the door. For 40 points, Jonathan?

-Is it running on the moon?

-It is so close, but I can't give it you.

-Let's open the door.

-For 30 points...

-Walking on the moon?

-Yeah!

CHEERING

It was walking in space, but we know where the moon is -

it's in space, isn't it? So we're going to give it you.

That means that Holly's team get themselves 30 points, well done.

CHEERING

Thady, we've got two cards left - pink or yellow.

-Pink, please.

-Pink. Take a look.

Oh, dear.

-Reckon you can mime that?

-I think so, yep.

-Good, OK.

You've got 10 seconds. Best of luck. Ready, steady, mime.

It's good miming.

OK, Lynda, go for it.

OK, Nicole, your turn.

Time's up!

All right. For 50 points, Brooke, what do you think the answer is?

Feeding the chickens with no bread left.

It's not the answer we're looking for. We're playing for 40 points.

-Nicole?

-Throwing stuff?

-Throwing stuff, it's not. OK.

-We're playing for 30 points. Lynda?

-Scattering seeds?

Oh, I see where you're going, but it's not scattering seeds,

so we're playing for 20 points. Anna.

-Has she dug and found something?

-Digging to find something?

It's not that,

which means we're playing for the minimum of 10 points.

-Rachel, do you know what it is?

-Gambling?

I'm afraid it's not the right answer.

We have to be a bit more specific. Sorry.

-Thady, you want to tell everybody?

-Playing cards.

-Playing cards!

So sadly, at the end of Mime Time, Thady's team get no points,

but it was very entertaining. Give them a round of applause.

APPLAUSE

Whoo! So, after Mime Time,

are Holly's team lost in space after that performance?

Oh, I hope not. I like 'em.

And have Thady's team got an ace up their sleeve,

or is there a joker in the pack?

It's time to find out out the scores. Mr D, what could they be?

Well, after Mime Time, Thady's team have 50 points,

and Holly's team have 80 points.

Right, it's time to get serious once again,

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

Earlier on, Thady's team scored some important points

in their challenge, but was it enough?

Only time will tell.

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

-Are you ready?

-Yeah!

She thought about it for a second, but, yes, she's ready.

Thady's team, time to say goodbye for a little bit. Go and get a crumpet.

Enjoy yourselves.

Remember, the results of the challenge will be revealed

at the end of the music round when the extra points

may determine which team goes to the Ball Room.

Now, Holly, as team captain, you need to select three people.

Before that, you get to have a look at what's in store for you.

Mr D, what could it be?

The Puzzle.

As before, the image of a completed puzzle will be

displayed on the screen.

You must copy this image by sliding the tiles into position.

Ten points will be awarded for every square in the correct place

when the time runs out.

OK, good luck. In three, two, one, slide!

We're off! There's the puzzle on the screen.

Same one as before, to make it fair for both teams.

Holly and Christie on the left, and it's Kate on the right.

And it's Kate at the moment who's telling the others what to do.

Helping, of course.

And also helping, John on the sidelines, offering advice.

That's the best way to do it - share ideas and thoughts

and see how you get on.

Ten points for every tile in the right place, of course.

Keep them moving, guys, come on.

Quickly as you can. Time is running out.

-That's it, that's it.

-Not easy, this.

Keep it there, keep it there.

Try to stay off the puzzle if you can.

No, move that up!

Move that up! Go on!

Do the best you can.

We've got to get as many of these in the right place as we can to

score the points.

Holly looking up there for advice. Taking guidance.

Keep them moving, guys - 20 seconds to go.

20 seconds now, guys.

Not a lot of time left.

Whoa!

There's a lot of movement going on.

How many of these will be in the right place when we finish?

You can see the completed puzzle in the bottom corner of your screen.

Time running out right now! Here we go.

All right, guys. It's a lot harder than it looks, isn't it?

-How did you find that, Holly?

SHE SIGHS

-Enough said!

-You did get three pieces in the right place.

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

to your total, because we like to keep you guys guessing.

A round of applause for Holly's team.

Welcome to the music round, Thady's team. Rachel.

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

and recreate that tune using the Copycats' kazoo.

Anna, you need to listen to what Rachel plays very carefully,

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

As always, a maximum of 50 points up for grabs.

Could everybody except Rachel put your headphones on

so you don't hear which song is being selected.

Our Copycats are ready, let's close the doors.

OK, three tunes here. We've got pink, blue or yellow.

-I'll take the yellow.

-Take a look.

-Do you know that tune?

-I do, yeah.

-Good!

We are going to play it out

so you can get the melody in your head. Let's hear it.

-# You're the one that I want

-You are the one I want

# Ooh, hoo, hoo, honey

-# The one that I want

-You are the one I want

# Ooh, hoo, hoo... #

OK, the best of luck. You've got 10 seconds. Ready, steady, play!

SHE PLAYS TUNE

Very good.

SHE PLAYS HESITANTLY

Lynda.

SHE PLAYS UNRECOGNISABLE TUNE

Nicole, your turn.

Brooke.

Stop the madness!

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

Under Pressure?

It's not Under Pressure, which means we're playing for 40 points. Brooke?

Dancing Queen?

It's not Dancing Queen, which means we're playing for 30 points, Nicole.

-Just Dance?

-It's not Just Dance. Playing for 20 points, Lynda?

-The Superman theme?

-It's not!

Which means we're playing for the minimum of 10 points.

I have to say, Rachel did a fantastic job. Anna, any idea?

-You're The One That I Want.

-Yes!

# You're the one that I want You are the one I want

# Ooh-hoo-hoo, honey

# The one that I want You are the one I want... #

You get yourselves 10 points. Excellent!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

OK, we've got pink or blue. Which one would you like?

-Blue, please.

-Blue. Have a look at that.

You know that? All right. We'll play it into the studio right now.

# You can't stop the beat Ever since this old world began

# A woman found out if she shook it she could shake up a man... #

All right, good luck to you. Ready, steady, play.

HE PLAYS TUNE WELL

Brilliant playing.

SHE PLAYS WELL

Time to spare as well! Here we go.

SHE PLAYS DIFFERENT TUNE

HE PLAYS VERY DIFFERENT TUNE

OK, come on, Kate.

All right, stop playing!

-Holly, any idea what we're looking for?

-Baby?

-Baby?

-Oh, from Justin Bieber?

-Yeah.

-It is not, I'm afraid. Open the doors.

For 40 points, Kate?

-Poker Face?

-It is not what we're looking for. Let's open the door.

Jonathan, what's the answer, for 30 points?

Is it I Kissed A Girl by Katy Perry?

It's not what we're looking for. What's the answer?

-Fight For This Love?

-It's not, I'm afraid.

Finally, for 10 points, come on, Christie.

-Sweet Dreams by Beyonce? It is not.

-John, go on, tell us.

You Can't Stop The Beat.

Let's have a listen.

# You can't stop the beat Ever since this old world began... #

Unfortunately, Holly's team get no points.

Give them a round of applause anyway.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

OK, so, after three rounds, Thady's team have 60 points,

and Holly's team have 80 points!

Right. There are only 20 points between the teams.

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

Which team powered through the puzzle?

And which team have a one-way ticket to the Copycats Ball Room? Sam.

Thanks. The wait is over.

I can reveal that one team got 30 points in the challenge.

I can also reveal that one team got 60 points.

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Thady's team!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-Commiserations to Holly's team. Did you enjoy yourselves?

-Yes!

Give it up for Holly's team, everyone.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

OK, Thady's team, you've made it this far.

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

limited edition, lovely thing that is...

I know! The Copycats trophy.

AUDIENCE: Whooo!

-It's very bendy.

-It is. Here is the Ball Room.

OK, Thady, who have you chosen to take part in today's Ball Room?

I have chosen Anna, Nicole and Brooke. OK.

Well, before we open the doors,

let's take a look at 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.

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

Here we go then!

Anna, catching the blue balls, Nicole the yellow,

and Brooke is catching the red balls.

Here we go. How are we doing?

You have to catch these while they're in the air.

You can't pick them up off the floor. Blue doing well.

And red just slightly behind. That's good. Where are the yellow ones?

Come on, Nicole!

Quickly as you can. Come on.

Lots of advice from outside the Ball Room.

Meanwhile, inside, we're doing all right with the blue and red,

just the yellow ones now. Come on, get as many yellow as you can.

Don't worry about the blue and red! Just the yellow ones, guys, come on!

Quickly as you can. You've only got 15 seconds left.

Just the yellow ones!

As many as you can into that scoring cylinder. Time is running out.

Yellow! Get yellow!

Only yellow count! Come on, quickly!

Ohh.

KLAXON BLASTS

Ladies, I'm sorry, but you didn't get the yellow balls in in time.

Sorry about that.

So that does mean that you can't get your hands on this bad boy.

-ALL:

-Awwww.

But you do get a Copycats T-shirt - each!

-CHEERING Each!

-Each! Not just one! One each!

-All right, have you had a good day? ALL:

-Yes!

Excellent, give it up for Thady's team, everybody!

CHEERING

All right, I hate to break it to you,

but that is the end of the show.

-Shut your face!

-I won't! I never will!

-I'm off.

-Oh, all right. We'll see you next time on Copycats. Bye!
