Episode 45 Copycats

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

'Today's Copycats are Sophie's Team from Derbyshire

'and Brittany's Team from Glasgow.'

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

I like the crowd. I like the crowd.

Welcome to Copycats, the game show where, unlike in an algebra exam,

copying the person next to you is encouraged.

It could win you the ultimate money-can't-buy prize.

You can forget the World Cup, the Wimbledon trophy,

even having a number one single...

-BOTH:

-When it mattered!

That's right, today's teams will be playing for the greatest prize

in game show history. Yes, it's the Copycats trophy!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

"Ooh!" indeed!

-Shall we meet the teams?

-Yeah!

-Good.

-Let's do it.

Sophie, team captain, plant it there. How are you doing?

I'm doing great. I'm really looking forward to today.

I like it. Team, are you all right?

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Beautiful.

You guys seem really lively. I like this.

You may not be so lively after we look at your audition tape.

This is the reason why you guys are on Copycats, let's take a look.

Hi, I'm Scrappy-Doo.

IMITATES SCRAPPY-DOO LAUGH

That's my skeleton face.

APPLAUSE

Nice one, guys. The best of luck.

It's Sophie's Team, everybody.

Over here we have Brittany's Team. Give me five. Yes!

Team captain, everybody else all right here?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-Yes?

Now, when Sophie's Team audition tape came on, you went,

"I bet they don't show ours."

Well, we are!

I'm here today to prove accountants aren't as boring as everyone thinks.

I don't like cauliflower. That's disgusting.

# You can't read my poker face... #

APPLAUSE

It's Brittany's Team, everyone! Yes!

Oh, yeah, well, 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.

To get as many points as possible,

each team will take turns to face the Copycats Challenge later.

We tossed a coin which told us Sophie's Team is going to play first.

Let's play Copycats.

I hope you have been brushing up on your artistic skills.

It is time to play Quick On The Draw.

Karen, I've got three cards. You'll choose one,

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

to the person next to you - Sophie - and so on down the line.

There is a maximum of 50 points to be won.

As we pass it back down the line,

you lose ten points for every incorrect answer.

-Copycats, are you ready? ALL:

-Yes!

Yeah! I like it. Let's close the doors.

All right, Karen, yellow, pink or blue?

-Blue.

-Take a good look.

-OK.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-Yes.

-Best of luck.

You have got ten seconds, ready, steady, draw.

All right. Sophie, your turn.

OK, Mark, go for it.

OK, Amy.

All right, Gill, your turn, draw.

Time's up. OK. All right.

APPLAUSE

All right.

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

Is it a sunflower?

That is what that looks like, and I'm guessing that's what that is,

but that's not the answer we're looking for. For 40 points,

Gill, what do you think the answer is?

Is it a kite?

It is not a kite, which means we are playing for 30 points.

Amy, any idea?

A sun.

A sun. I see where you're going, but that's not the answer.

Mark, looking confused for 20 points?

A windmill.

That's not the right answer.

We're playing for ten points, Sophie?

Someone with their hair on fire.

LAUGHTER

It is not, sadly.

-Karen, do you want to tell them?

-It is supposed to be a spider.

Of course, it's a spider!

That means at the end of Quick On The Draw

you get no points, but we had a laugh. A round of applause.

APPLAUSE

We have got pink or yellow. Which one would you like?

I think pink.

Think pink! Have a look at that. Do you want to get it in your head?

-OK.

-Good luck to you, Amanda.

OK, ready, steady, draw.

OK, ten seconds.

Not a lot of time, but I think you got a lot of stuff in there.

It depends on how you copy it.

As I say, it depends how you copy it!

Copying.

I have no idea what it is, but it's a good copy!

Put all sorts down there...

whatever.

I wish I had more colour. We could colour it in.

-LAUGHTER

-What is it?

Stop!

Stop the madness.

OK, Rachael, for a maximum of 50 points,

any idea what Elaine has drawn there?

-Is it a ladybird?

-It is not a ladybird,

unfortunately. It is not what we're looking for. Come on, Elaine.

Is it a balloon on a string, an upside down balloon on a string?

It doesn't matter what you say, it's wrong!

Let's carry on for 30 points.

Caroline, what are we looking for? Come on, 30 points, please?

Is it an alien?

It's not what we're looking for, OK?

-Come on.

-Is it a merry-go-round?

It's not, I'm afraid. For ten points, Brittany?

It's a great picture, this! Come on.

Ostrich?

-WHOOPING

-It's right!

-APPLAUSE

-Get in there!

That means that Brittany's Team have got ten points. Well done!

Well done. Well done.

So after Quick On The Draw, have Sophie's Team

-managed to spin a web of intrigue?

-And have Brittany's Team

got their heads in the sand? Let's find out the scores.

Mr D, what could they be?

'Well, Mark, after Quick On The Draw, Sophie's Team have no points

'and Brittany's Team have ten points.'

-It's close.

-It is very close.

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

yes, the game got serious - do that thing with your jacket again -

because this is the Copycats Challenge.

Sophie, your team won the toss

so you will be first to attempt the challenge.

Brittany's Team, you don't get a sneaky peek.

We're going to send you away. We'll see you later.

-Say bye to Brittany's Team!

-Bye, Brittany's Team!

-Bye!

-Sophie, you need to select three people to take part

in the formidable Copycats Challenge, but let's see what's in store.

Mr D, show us, will you?

'The Bounce! You will be shown five shapes

'and must try to copy them by bouncing on the trampoline.

'To score, you must take off and land in the central square.

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

OK, Amy, are you ready to spring into action?

-Yes.

-In that case, three, two, one, bounce.

'Here we go with Amy, and the first shape is there. Try again.

'Almost there. That's it. Excellent.

'And the second shape.

'Stay within the box.

'Try once more. Yes,

'very good. Here is the third shape.

'No, look at those legs.

'Fully out, that's it.

'On to the next one.

'She has this one now.

'Let's have a look. There we are. Try once more. And we are on to

'the fifth shape.'

-That's it.

-Yeah!

'You have to get legs and arms in the right place

'at the right time.

'A good effort, Amy. Let's move on to Sophie.'

Come on, Sophie!

'Climbs on.

'The first shape. Yes, successfully accomplished.

'Second one. Oh, and that one as well!

'And the third one! Wow!

'Well done, Sophie. Fourth one. Now the fifth shape.

'Yes, keep your legs together and back. Well, it was a good effort.

'Well done, Sophie. Now it's Abi's turn.'

-Here we go.

-'Rolls onto the trampoline.'

'Here we go. The first shape, straight away.

'The second shape, please.

'The legs and the arms in exactly the right place.

'On to the third one. Try that one. Yes, that's better.

'On to the fourth shape. That one as well.

-'And the fifth shape.'

-Saturday Night Fever. Come on!

'One leg out to the side, not both. Try again.

'A good effort. Well done, Abi.'

APPLAUSE

Excellent. Now, we are going to count up your bounces

and add those challenge points to your total.

Brittany's Team need to face the Copycats Challenge.

The points could make all the difference,

because the ticket to the Ball Room is at stake. Well done.

APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Brittany's Team. Let's play Mime Time.

I have three cards. You are going to pick a card and you will have

ten seconds to copy what is on the card for the next player,

which is Kerel, and then so on down the line. OK?

There is a maximum of 50 points to be won.

If you think you know the answer, add more detail

so the mime goes to the end of the line. OK?

-Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes!

All right, let's close the doors.

We have got yellow, blue or pink, which one would you like?

-Pink.

-Have a look at that.

Thank you.

-OK.

-Yeah?

Got that in your head? Fantastic.

Good luck to you. Ready, steady, mime. Open the door.

I think Kerel's got it. OK, ten seconds.

Very, very good. OK.

Remember, all the detail.

OK, Elaine.

It is very good copying.

OK.

Final one.

Stop miming.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

OK, for a maximum of 50 points, Amanda,

any idea what Rachael was miming there?

Cutting vegetables and cutting her finger.

That's not the correct answer.

-Let's open the door - for 40 points, Rachael?

-A chef chopping stuff.

Like a chef chopping stuff? No.

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

I thought it was some sort of cooking, using a wooden spoon

to flatten out some meat or something and hitting your finger.

Wow, that is specific!

But it's wrong, I'm afraid.

Let's open the door. Caroline, you know this.

Hammering...her finger.

Yes, hammering her finger!

CHEERING

Yes, that means

that, Brittany's Team, you get 20 points.

Well done!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, yellow or blue?

Yellow.

Yellow. Take a look.

Oh, OK.

Oh, OK? Pleasantly surprised.

-Do you reckon you can do that?

-Yes.

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

Ready, steady, mime.

Very good, Sophie.

OK, go for it, Mark.

LAUGHTER

That was awesome! Amy, go.

Very good. Gill, go for it.

Beautiful. Abi, go!

Time's up. OK. Very good. Very good copying.

Very elegant, I have to say.

Karen, for a maximum of 50 points, what's the answer we're looking for?

I think it was a ballroom dancer.

Yes!

Fantastic, guys, you get yourselves

50 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right. So after Mime Time, did Brittany's Team

nail that performance?

Good. Good. Excellent. Will Sophie's Team

be hoping for more than a SEVEN from the judges?

It's time to find out the scores. Mr D, could you tell us, please?

'Well, Sam, after Mime Time, Sophie's Team have 50 points

'and Brittany's Team have 30 points.'

Very close, OK.

It is time to get serious once again

because Brittany's Team are about to face the Copycats Challenge.

Earlier, Sophie's Team built up a pile of points,

but did they do enough? Only time will tell. Brittany's Team,

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

-Are you ready? You look ready.

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Good!

-All right! Sophie's team, it is time for you to leave.

We'll see you soon.

-Say goodbye to Sophie's Team.

-Bye-bye.

The result 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.

Brittany, you need to select three people to face

the Copycats Challenge. Let's look at what's in store for you.

-Mr D, what could it be?

-Don't touch me.

-Sorry.

'The Bounce. As before, you will be shown five shapes

'and must attempt to copy them by bouncing on the trampoline.

'To score, you must take off and land in the central square.

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

Good luck, Caroline.

It looks like you are ready to spring into action. Well, nearly.

Good luck to you. In three, two, one.

Bounce.

'The shapes will appear on the screen. There is the first. Almost.

'Try that again. Come on. Get those arms up.

'The second one.

'What about this one? Very good.

'Here is the third shape. Wow, look at that.

Very good. And the fourth one.

'Now the fifth shape.

'Come on. You have done well so far.

'Get the legs right. Get the legs right.

'Oh, not quite enough time on that one.

'Very good though. That was three.

'Kerel's next.

'Climbs on to the trampoline. Here we go.

'Wow, that's good.

'The second shape.

'Almost. That's it.

Very good. And the third one. And that one!

'She is doing well. And the fourth shape. That's good.

'One more shape to go.

'This is excellent work.

'Up, up, up. Yes! Brilliant.

'All five.

-'To Amanda now.'

-Amanda, the final person.

-'She is smiling a lot.'

Here we go.

'Off she goes. Ooh!

'Steady.

'Right, the first shape is there.

'The second.

'Back into the box. Back into the box. Try this one instead.

'Try again. Once more. Oh, no.

'On we go. Yes.

'On to the fifth shape now.

'Try again. Yes!'

-Finished!

-'Very good. A good score.'

Here you go, darling.

A pleasure. All right, well done to Brittany's Team.

Only one more round to play before we add those points to your total.

We do like to keep you guessing on Copycats. A round of applause

-for Brittany's Team!

-APPLAUSE

Well done.

Welcome to the Music Round, Sophie's Team. Mark, you have to pick

a well-known tune and play it to the person next to you,

using the Copycats kazoo. Amy, you need to listen to what Mark plays

because you will be the one passing it down the line.

There is a maximum of 50 points up for grabs. Everybody except Mark,

please put your headphones on, so you don't hear the selected song.

Looking good. Our Copycats are ready. Let's close the doors.

OK, here we go. Mark pick a tune. A blue one.

Have a look.

Do you know that song?

-Yeah.

-Yeah? OK, don't worry

if not, we are going to play it into the studio. Let's hear it.

MUSIC: "Vogue" by Madonna

# Let your body move to the music

# Hey hey hey... #

Mad-donna. Right, OK, the best of luck.

You have ten seconds, ready, steady, play.

PLAYS "VOGUE" ON KAZOO

Very good. Very good. Amy, go.

PLAYS "VOGUE" ON KAZOO

Not bad at all. Gill, go for it.

NOISELESS PUFFING

PUFFING CONTINUES

KAZOO BUZZES UNKNOWN TUNE

OK, Abi.

TUNEFUL TOOTS AND BUZZES

Karen, go for it.

FAITHFUL COPYING OF ABI'S TUNE

Time's up. OK. Hee-hee-hee!

Oh, I do love the music round, I do love it. Sophie, for 50 points,

-any idea of the song we're looking for?

-Michael Jackson, Bad.

It's not Michael Jackson, Bad.

For 40 points, Karen, what do you think it is?

Some kind of football song. Something...

It's not some kind of football song! Sorry!

We're playing for 30 points. Abi?

Angels.

Angels, a great song, but it's not.

20 points, Gill?

If You're Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands.

It's not. We're playing for the ten points. Amy is shaking her head.

Black And Gold. I don't know.

-It's not. Mark, do you want to tell everyone?

-# Come on, Vogue. #

-Let's hear it!

-# Come on, Vogue

# Let your body move to the music. #

Sadly, that means you get no points. Give them a round of applause anyway.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

It's all good. It's all good until you pick a card!

Yellow or pink?

Pink to make the boys wink.

OK. Indeed.

-OK.

-You look pretty confident.

See, it is all all right.

Let's have a listen.

MUSIC: "New York, New York"

-Let's do it. Do you like that?

-Yeah.

-Ow! OK. Good luck to you.

-OK.

Ready, steady, play. Open the door.

PLAYS "NEW YORK, NEW YORK" ON KAZOO

OK, fantastic.

KEEPS REPEATING A FEW BARS

Brilliant. Come on.

SPEEDIER PLAYING OF REPEATED BARS

Stop playing. Stop playing. Go on.

COPIES TUNE AT SLOWER PACE

COPIES IN A MORE SYNCOPATED STYLE

Stop playing!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK. What are we looking for? For 50 points,

-Brittany, come on?

-Baby.

Oh, Justin Bieber, is it?

No, that's wrong. OK,

let's open the door for 40 points. Amanda, come on.

-New York, New York, New York.

-Yes!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

MUSIC: "New York, New York"

That means that Brittany's Team have got themselves 40 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'Right, after three rounds, Sophie's Team have 50 points. Brittany's Team

'have 70 points.'

OK.

Right, there are only 20 points between the teams,

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

Which team beat The Bounce?

Which team have a golden ticket

-to the Copycats Ball Room? Mark...

-What?

-..over to you.

Me? OK, cool. The wait is over.

-I can reveal that one team got 90 points.

-Good.

-Good.

-Good score.

A very good score.

I can also reveal that one team got 110 points

in The Bounce.

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Brittany's Team!

Commiserations, Sophie's Team. Sorry, it was really, really close.

Have you had a good day?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

We like that. Give it up for Sophie's Team.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Brittany's Team, you have made it this far and it is time to compete

for the fabulous, money can't buy,

limited edition, springy thing that is THIS,

-the Copycats trophy. ALL:

-Whoo!

-It is shiny, made out of silver or something. Probably not.

-It's not.

Here is the Ball Room.

Who have you chose to play in the Ball Room?

-Me, Rachael and Elaine.

-SAM AND MARK:

-Ooh! Interesting.

Before we open the doors, let's see what you have to do to win THIS.

'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

Hope you're ready. Three, two, one,

-BOTH:

-Blast the balls!

-'Here we go then. 'So it falls to Rachael

to catch the blue balls, Brittany the yellow and Elaine the red.

'Do this as quickly as you can, girls.

'Plenty of advice coming from outside the Ball Room.

'On the inside, not catching enough. A red one going in there

'which is good news.

'Quickly, quickly. The yellow ones

'are in the lead at the moment. Come on.

'The balls flying around the Ball Room at the moment.

'Come on. Let's do this quickly.

'Oh, they are doing well. Look at this.

'The reds and yellows. A bit behind with the blues

at the moment.

'Quickly, quickly. They are going in there,

'look at this. Wow, red ones

'really are stacking up now.

'Well done, Elaine. Put those in and she can help

'Brittany and Rachael with theirs.

'Pretty well there. Quickly, come on! That's the blue one! Yes!'

END-OF-GAME JINGLE

CHEERING

-Wowzer!

-That was a close one, but I can reveal...

-Excuse me. What?

That you did it!

-ALL:

-Yes!

Mark, would you do the honours?

I will. The winners of the Copycats trophy,

-it's Brittany's team!

-CHEERING

Hold it up high, you are the champions!

-We'll see you next time for Copycats. Congratulations!

-Bye!
