Episode 46 Copycats

Welcome to Copycats with your hosts Sam and Mark, and today's Copycats

are Lucy's team from Glasgow, and Francesca's team from Bedford.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

-What have you got there?

-It's only a present from the producer Julie.

I love presents, what is it?

Well, she's only gone and given us our very own Copycats trophy

and they're engraved.

-What? Ooh, what does it say?

-Mine says - here it is.

-It's lovely.

-It says, "To Sam, the greatest living TV presenter

"of all time. A man who gives 110%. A true natural in front of the camera.

"Love Julie and the team.

-"PS: You're my favourite."

-That's nice.

It's nice that, and mine?

-Yes, yours is here.

-Yeah, good.

There it is.

It does say on the back, "Could try harder," though.

It's not even real, it's a cardboard one.

-I'm only kidding!

-Give it me.

Of course you've got a real one. This is yours, ooh.

Ooh, look at that! It says, "To Mark the greatest living TV presenter

"of all time. A man who gives 110%. A true natural in front of the camera, love Julie and the team.

"PS: You're my favourite."

BOTH: Unbelievable.

-Shall we meet today's teams?

-Let's do it.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Lucy, team captain, plant it right there. How are you?

I'm really good. I'm really excited and so glad to be here.

Wicked! I'm glad. I am excited too. Team, are you all right?

-Yes!

-Excited?

-Yes.

-Good.

Before we go any further, we will get to know you guys better

by taking a look at your audition tape.

This is the reason you guys are on Copycats. Roll it.

I'm clumsy and I always walk into things!

Lucy's team, everybody.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And over here, we have Francesca's team. High five - yes!

-Everybody good?

-Yes!

-That's the spirit, OK.

Before we have a chat, we'll have a look at your audition tape.

This is the reason that you guys are here on Copycats. Let's take a look.

Go, go, go!

# Let's twist again! #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Love that.

Give it up for Francesca's team, everyone. Fantastic.

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

Like every game of Copycats, the teams take 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 the chance to win the ultimate money-can't-buy prize.

It is of course, the Copycats Trophy.

AUDIENCE: Ooh!

We tossed a coin before the show, and Francesca's team are going to be playing first.

Let's play Copycats.

OK, Francesca's team. I hope you've been brushing up

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

Angelo, I've got three cards. Pick one of these cards.

Then you'll have ten seconds to draw what is on that card

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

There is a maximum of 50 points to be won

but as we pass it back down the line

you lose ten of those points for every incorrect answer.

Copycats are you ready?

Yes!

Let's close the doors.

I've got a yellow, blue or pink, which would you like?

-Blue, my lucky colour.

-All right, have a look at that.

-OK.

-Got that in your head?

-Yes.

The best of luck, Angelo.

Ready, steady...draw!

Open the door.

Oh, this is going to be good.

OK, Ray.

Carry on if you want. Throw some more detail in.

I don't know what you put in, like.

Time to spare.

Stop drawing!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-For 50 points, what's the answer?

-A camel?

It's not what we're looking for. OK, so open the door.

A rhinoceros?

It's not the right answer. Open the door.

-Chloe, what are we looking for?

-A dog?

A dog? It's not a dog I'm afraid.

OK, open the door for 20 points, Ray.

Hippo.

It is not a hippo. So, open the door.

-A horse?

-Oh, so unlucky.

-Angelo, go on, tell us.

-A lion.

-A lion!

Unfortunately, Francesca's team, you don't get any points,

but give them a round of applause anyway.

OK, Martin, I've got two cards left. We've got pink or yellow.

I've got to go for pink.

Do it, man. Pick it, man.

-OK, reckon you can draw that?

-Yes.

You have ten seconds. Best of luck.

Ready, steady...draw!

OK, Lucy, your turn.

Claire, your turn.

All right, your turn.

Time's up, stop drawing.

OK...

-Phoebe, what's the answer we're looking for?

-Boy?

It's not a boy, which means we're playing for 40 points.

A spaceman?

It's not a spaceman, which means we are playing for 30 points. Rachel?

-I don't know.

-No idea?

-No.

OK. All right then we'll move on. For 20 points.

-A crown?

-Yay!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, you get yourselves 20 points, nice one.

After Quick On The Draw,

are Francesca's team kings of the jungle like in the Lion King?

# It's the circle of life... #

# Ba da de ba da yi yay. #

Good, good.

Will Lucy's team be CROWNED Copycats champions?

Time to find out the scores. Mr D, what could they be?

'After Quick On The Draw, Lucy's team have 20 points,

'and Francesca's team have no points.'

OK, the next round will test our teams' skill,

-nerve and determination, YES!

-Oh.

The game just got serious,

because this is the Copycats Challenge.

As Francesca's team won the toss before the show, they will go first.

Lucy's team, so you guys don't get a sneaky peek

we'll send you off for a while.

-Get yourselves a nice toasted bagel.

-Yeah.

Off you go, see you later.

Bye.

Francesca, as team captain, you will select 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 place a ball in the corresponding tube

and catch it as it exits.

Ten points are awarded for every successful catch.

Best of luck, in three, two, one...

let's roll.

Francesca, team captain, to start.

Points rewarded for each ball caught.

In at the end of the red tube and catch at the other end.

Emily, you have a go, the white one.

Oh, you have to be fast round there to catch.

OK, let's see how Sav gets on. Puts the ball into the end

of the green tube and catches it at the other end.

Does he? Yes, he does, good!

Next it's Francesca again.

It's got to go in at the end of the tube.

Emily next.

Not quite round there fast enough.

OK, Sav, you have a go. Already got one. Can he get another?

Yes, he can, good!

Next, it's Francesca's turn. Yellow tube. Yes!

Emily, see if you get one, here we go.

In at the end of the red tube... Oh, not quite fast enough.

OK, Sav. Sav's scoring points...

Is he going to do it again? Yes!

Francesca...

Ooh, very nearly.

Next it's Emily.

Come on then, Sav.

Up until now, a safe pair of hands.

Will he do it again? Yes, good man.

Next, it's Francesca. Oh...quickly.

Oh, not quite. Dropped it. Never mind.

Emily... Oh, no. You've got to be faster, Emily.

Now it's Sav.

Come on, Sav, we're relying on you. Excellent.

Francesca again, quickly. Time's running out...

Oh.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That's fantastic.

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

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

The points could make all the difference because a dream ticket

to the Ball Room is at stake. Round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Lucy's team. Let's play Mime Time.

I've got three cards. You're going to pick one.

You'll have ten seconds to mime what's on the card

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

There are 50 points to be won. If you think you know the answer,

you can add detail to help you get to the end of the line.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-Yes!

Awesome, let's close the doors.

-Yellow, pink or blue.

-Pink.

-Pink, take a look.

-OK.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Hopefully.

I reckon you can do that. You've got ten seconds.

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

Claire, your turn.

Rachel, your turn.

Eileen, your turn.

OK, Phoebe.

OK, time's up.

Martin, for a maximum 50 points, what do you think the answer is?

A DJ on the decks.

That's not the answer we're looking for,

which means we are playing for 40 points. Phoebe.

Someone on the phone and on the computer at the same time?

We're going to give you it, yay!

Yes, it was making a phone call,

what we actually had on the card, but well done, 40 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Francesca, we've got a yellowy gold or a bluey blue.

-which one would you like?

-The yellowy gold.

Have a look at that.

OK.

Got that? Best of luck, Francesca.

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

OK, Ray.

Wow, OK, Chloe.

OK, Sav. Come on!

OK. You can stop now.

OK, stop miming.

What was Emily miming there?

A mine detector?

It's not, I'm afraid.

OK, so open the door. For 40 points?

Is it someone cooking?

It's not, I'm afraid. Let's open the door. Sav, for 30 points?

-Running or walking the dog?

-No, it's not.

Let's open the door, for 20 points.

-A relay?

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

-Ray, what was Francesca doing?

-Egg and spoon race?

-Yes!

Get in there!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Fantastic, you get yourselves ten points. Well done.

After Mime Time, have Lucy's team been up all night chatting

on the phone? "What are you wearing to the disco?"

-"Oh, spangly top and jeans."

-"Lovely."

Are Francesca's team wishing cooking an omelette whilst running

was part of school sports day?

It's time for those all-important scores. Mr D, what could they be?

Well, Mark, after Mime Time

Lucy's team have 60 points and Francesca's team have ten points.

Time to get serious again because Lucy's team are about to face

the Copycats Challenge.

Earlier in the show, Francesca's team scored some important points

but did they do enough? Only time will tell.

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

-Are you ready, Lucy?

-Yep.

-Yep, she's ready.

-Yep.

Francesca's team, it's time for you to go off for a couple of minutes,

-but you are coming back. So say goodbye to Francesca's team.

-Bye!

See you later, and enjoy it.

The results of the challenge will be revealed at the end

of the Music Round when the extra points may determine which team

wins tickets to the Ball Room.

Lucy, as team captain you will select three people

to face the Copycats Challenge but before you do that,

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

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.

In three, two, one...let's roll!

Lucy, Martin, and Eileen aim to catch as many balls as they can

from the ends of these tubes.

Red to start with...

Don't break the game, please!

Next, it's Martin... Oh, he didn't put the ball in the end there.

Now Eileen gets a green...

and successfully catches it. Well done, we're off and running.

Next it's Lucy again. Can she catch that one?

Oh, rolled out of her hands there.

Next it's Martin, blue.

Quickly, Martin. Yes, good.

Next, Eileen.

Black tube, run round to the other end and catch it.

Oh! Next it's Lucy.

Come on, Lucy. Round you go.

Oh...

Martin, you catch one, please.

Yes, good man! Next it's Eileen.

Catches it... No, she doesn't. Never mind.

OK, Lucy.

Never mind.

Martin, such a safe pair of hands.

Yes, just about.

Eileen, come on, on the blue.

Oh, careful. That's it, good.

Back to Lucy. Yellow...

Catch that one, come on! Never mind.

Martin, round you go.

Yes!

Eileen...

A few seconds left.

You've got to do this, Eileen!

Yes, well done.

Time's up!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Not bad. OK, only one more round before we add

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

Round of applause.

Welcome back, Francesca's team. This is the Music Round.

Ray, all you need to do is pick a well-known tune and then recreate

that tune using this - the Copycats kazoo.

Hopefully it won't sound like that!

Chloe, you need to listen to what Ray's playing very carefully

because you will copy it for people down the line.

There's a maximum of 50 points up for grabs

so could everybody now please put their headphones on except for Ray.

Copycats are ready, let's close the doors.

OK, Ray. I've got yellowy gold, pinky pink, or blue.

Have a look at that.

Any idea what the song is? OK.

If you don't, we're going to play it into the studio about now.

# I get by with a little help from my friends

# I get high with a little help from my friends.... #

There's a very good version by the Beatles and Wet Wet Wet.

Not so good by me and Sam.

All right, best of luck to you, Ray. Ready, steady...play. Open the door.

STUTTERING KAZOO PLAYS

Good luck, Chloe. Aargh.

Well, Sav, go on.

Oh, a bit of jazz, lovely.

LAUGHTER

OK, Angelo, off you go.

Serenade me.

Beautiful...

OK, stop playing.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

For a maximum of 50 points?

-God Save The Queen?

-It is not God Save The Queen.

-So, open the door for 40 points.

-The Beatles, I Want To Hold Your Hand?

It is not the Beatles, I Want To Hold Your Hand. Good song though.

So open the door for 30 points.

Lady Gaga, Poker Face?

It's not the correct answer. OK, so open the door for 20 points.

-James Bond theme tune?

-Unfortunately, it's the wrong answer.

Let's open the door for the minimum of ten points, Chloe.

-Eastenders?

-Eastenders?

Oh, Ray, put me and everybody else out of their misery, will you.

-With A Little Help From My Friends.

-Yes, let's have a listen.

It's by the Beatles and you're right, as well.

# Do you need anybody...? #

It was of course Get By With A Little Help From My Friends,

famously done by...(Sam and Mark).

Francesca, unfortunately, you don't get any points,

but give them a round of applause. That was entertaining.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Right we've got two cards left - pink or yellowy gold.

-I'll go for yellowy gold.

-Take a look.

Do you know that tune?

-Vaguely.

-OK, we will play it into the studio,

so you get the melody. Let's hear it.

# The bridges were burned Now it's your turn

-# To cry

-Cry me a river

# Cry me a river... #

OK, best of luck. Ten seconds.

Ready, steady...play.

Rachel, your turn.

Eileen.

Phoebe.

Martin, your turn.

Time's up, stop playing.

For a maximum of 50 points, Lucy, what do you think the answer is?

Telephone, by Lady Gaga.

It's not, which means we are playing for 40 points.

Martin, what do you reckon?

It's a beautiful day, by U2.

It's not, which means we're playing the 30 points, Phoebe?

-JLS, Beat Again?

-It's not JLS, Beat Again.

Which means we're playing for 20 points. Eileen?

Match Of The Day tune.

That's not even kind of close. Nice try though.

OK, that means we're playing for ten points, Rachel.

-What do you reckon it is?

-The Flood, by Cheryl Cole?

It's not. Do you want to tell everybody, Claire?

-Cry Me a River, Justin Timberlake.

-Justin Timberlake, let's hear it.

# The bridges were burned Now it's your turn

-# To cry

-Cry me a river. #

Sadly, at the end of the Music Round, Lucy's team,

you get no points but give them some applause.

Right, so after three rounds, Lucy's team have 60 points,

and Francesca's team have ten points.

OK. There are 50 points between the teams

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

Which team triumphed over the Tubes,

and which team are doing a victory dance to the Ball Room?

-Nice victory dance, Mark.

-Thank you, Sam. The wait is over.

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

I can also reveal that one team got 70 points,

which means the team going to the Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

Lucy's team!

-Francesca's team, have you had a good time?

-Yes!

You've been great. Give it up for Francesca's team!

Well done, guys.

OK, Lucy's team, congratulations.

You have made it this far, but now it's time to compete

for the fabulous money-can't-buy, limited edition,

lovely shiny, springy thing that is this - the Copycats Trophy.

ALL: Woo!

Here is the Ball Room. Lucy, who have you chosen to play?

I have chosen Phoebe and Rachel and my mum Claire to play.

Well, before we open the doors,

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

-I'm nervous.

-I know, me too.

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

And if you're ready, in three, two, one...blast the balls!

Off we go then, left to right.

It's mum Claire catching the blue balls,

Phoebe, the yellow ones, and Rachel, the red.

Quickly as you can, girls, come on.

Blue one going in there. Excellent.

Quickly as you can.

Lots of blue ones going in there by the look of it, very good news.

Two more.

When Claire's filled that cylinder,

she can help Phoebe and Rachel

with the yellow and the red balls.

She's going to do that right now.

So come on, don't put any more blue ones in.

Work on the yellow and the red.

Yellow is almost there,

put plenty of red ones in. Come on.

Just catch the red ones now.

Quickly as you can, time is running out.

Here we go...

Oh, come on, come on!

Lucy's team, I'm sorry but obviously, as you know,

you didn't get enough red balls,

which means you don't win this bad boy.

It's got to go under lock and key but you don't go away

empty-handed - each of you gets a Copycats T-shirt, yes?

ALL: Woo!

-I think that deserves a woo myself.

-Big time.

-Have you had a good time?

-Yes!

-Awesome, give it up for Lucy's team.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Sorry to put a damper on things but it's the end of the show.

No! What?

Don't worry, we'll be back next time on Copycats.

See you!
