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

'And today's Copycats are Beth's team from Bangor

'and Alisha's team from Kent.'

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-Good crowd!

-Aye!

-Good crowd!

Hello and welcome to Copycats, the game show where, unlike any other,

copying the person next to you is absolutely encouraged.

In fact, it could win you the greatest prize in game-show history.

We love copying so much, we created the ultimate money-can't-buy prize.

It is of course, the Copycats trophy!

AUDIENCE: Whoo!

And I have even heard that Hollywood are considering changing the Oscar

to the Copycats trophy.

-Shall we meet today's teams?

-Let's do it.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

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

I'm feeling brilliant. I just want to get started, we all do.

Excellent! Well, I shall get through this quite quick!

-Team, are you all excited and raring to go?

-TEAM: YEAH!

Now, before we go any further, we're going to get to know you guys,

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

This is the reason you're on Copycats.

"Oh, no, it's so embarrassing! Don't show me it! Oh, no!"

-# Come on, baby, lollipop

-Tell you why

-# Cos you're as sweet as a...

-Cherry pie

# Ba-dum bum...

# Bom ba-dom, ba-dom, ba-dom

# Bom ba-dom

# Bom ba-dom ba-dom ba-dom Bom, bom, bom. #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

The best of luck for today. It's Beth's team, everybody!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

OK, over here we've got Alisha's team. High five, yeah!

-Everybody good?

-ALL: Yeah!

-Everybody raring to go?

-ALL: Yeah!

-Aah!

Alisha's raring to go!

Now, before we go any further,

we are going to look at your audition tape.

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

# I dreamed a dream in time gone by...

# I can't hear you

# Wind it back again, pull, pull

# Clap-clap-clap. #

I thought it was Saturday Kitchen. And quick...

Ah.

SHE BLOWS A RASPBERRY

Please give it up for Alisha's team, everyone!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

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

As with every Copycats, the teams take it in turns

to copy pictures, actions and musical genius.

In order to get as many points as possible,

each team will face the Copycats Challenge later on.

We tossed a coin earlier, and Alisha's team are playing first.

Let's play Copycats!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

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

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

Jonathan, I've got three cards in my hand.

You'll pick a card.

You then have ten seconds to draw whatever is on that card

for the next player, Alisha,

and then so on and so on, down the line.

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

but as we pass it down the line, you'll lose ten of those points

for every incorrect answer. Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL: YES!

-Fantastic. Let's close the doors.

Jonathan, I've got three cards -

a yellowy-gold, a bluey-blue or a pinky-pink. Which would you like?

I'm going to choose

-the yellowy-gold.

-Have a look at that. Got that?

-Got that.

-OK.

Best of luck to you, Jonathan.

Ready, steady, draw.

Open the door.

Ten seconds - not a long time.

OK, Alisha.

OK, Keith.

Try to get as much detail in as possible.

Ten seconds is not a long time.

OK, Becky.

OK, Penny! Oh!

Agh!

Stop drawing!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

OK, for the maximum of 50 points, Nat,

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

-TV?

That is not the answer. Let's open the door.

-What's Becky drawn?

-A swimming pool?

-It's not the correct answer!

-OK, let's open the door. For 30 points, Becky?

-Is it a computer?

Not the answer on the card.

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

-A loaf of bread?

-It is not a loaf of bread.

OK, for the minimum of ten points.

-A radio?

-It's not, I'm afraid.

-Jonathan, come on, tell us.

-It's a piano.

-It's a piano, look!

-With the keyboard.

-Oh, so unlucky!

But, hey, at least you had a go. You get no points,

-but give them a round of applause.

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

All right, Caroline, I've got two cards - pink or blue.

-Ooh, I'll go for girlie pink.

-Pink. Take a look.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-I'll give it a go.

-Good.

That's what we like to hear. Best of luck. You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, draw.

OK, Becky, your turn, mind the door. Nearly smashed her face clean off!

OK, your turn.

Phoebe, your turn.

OK, your turn.

Time's up!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

All right. Amy, for 50 points, what's the answer we're looking for?

Is it a rocket?

It does look like a rocket, but that's not the answer.

Which means we're playing for 40 points. What do you think?

-Is it a firework?

-It's not a firework.

which means we're playing for 30 points. Phoebe, what do you reckon?

-Is it a house exploding?

-SAM LAUGHS

Nice thinking! It's not, sadly. So we're playing for 20 points.

-Open the door, please. Estelle, what do you reckon?

-Is it a carrot?

Really? What carrots have you been eating? It's not a carrot.

So we're playing for the minimum of ten points.

-Beth, what do you reckon?

-Is it a tree house?

-It's not.

Caroline, do you want to tell everybody?

It's supposed to be the Eiffel Tower!

It's supposed to be the Eiffel Tower.

I've got to say, that is quite difficult to draw, though.

I can see how it'd turn into a rocket, maybe not a house exploding.

That was entertaining. Sadly,

at the end of that you get no points.

But give them a round of applause.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

All right! After Quick On The Draw, have Alisha's team hit a bum note?

And leesten very cairfully, cos I shall say zis only once -

was that an Eiffel performance from Beth's team?

-Je suis pantalon!

-"I am trousers"?

-Yes.

-OK.

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

'Well, Sam, after Quick On The Draw,

'Beth's team have no points,

'and Alisha's team also have no points!'

All right!

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

Yes, the game just got serious,

because THIS is the Copycats Challenge.

As Alisha's team won the toss before the show, they will be going first.

Beth's team, so you don't get a sneaky peek, we'll send you off.

Go and get yourself a nice croissant, will you? Off you go!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING See you later!

Right, now, Alisha, as team captain,

you now need to pick three people to face the mind-blowing

Copycats Challenge.

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-screen.

'Players place a ball in the corresponding tube

'and catch it as it exits.

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

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Whoo!

OK. Three, two, one, let's roll.

'So, what's on the screen? It's a blue one.

'OK, blue for Alisha. She puts the ball in at that end.

'You have to run round very quickly to catch them. That's how it works.

'Let's see how Jonathan gets on. Yes! Good man.

'Penny next. White. You have to be very fast. Ooh, dropped it!

'Never mind. Now Alisha.

'To the black tube, if you would.

'Put the ball in that end and round to the other end to catch it.

'Quickly as you can.

'She touched the end of the tube! That doesn't count.

'Sorry. Jonathan's next. Red.

'Yes! Penny next.

'It's a green tube on the screen, so she puts it in there...

'and drops it. Ohhh!

'Now Alisha. White. Got to be very, very fast round there.'

MR D LAUGHS

'Never mind.

'Jonathan, green, please. That's it.

'Round to the other end and catch it. Good.

'Now Penny.

'Yellow tube. Puts it in there. Race round to the other end.

'Yes! Good. Next, it's Alisha.

'Come back, Penny. Right, here we go.

'On the red. Oh!'

'Jonathan's next - the blue tube.

'And catches the ball at the other end. Well done.

'Next, it's Penny.

'Round... Oh!'

'Alisha. Go to the blue tube. That's it.

'Put the ball in, race round. You have to be so fast!

-'Time's running out!'

-Three, two, one...

That was exciting, wasn't it?

Alisha, I was shattered watching you! You were all over the place!

-Are you happy with that?

-Yeah.

-Fantastic.

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

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

These points could make all the difference

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

-Well done, very good.

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

All right, welcome back, Beth's team. Let's play Mime Time.

Beth, I've got three cards, you're going to pick one.

You have ten seconds to mime what is on it to the next person, Estelle,

and so on and so on, down the line.

As usual, there is a maximum of 50 points to be won.

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

to help it get to the end of the line.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL: Yeah.

Awesome. Let's close the doors.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-We've got three cards here. We've got yellow, pink or blue.

-Pink.

-Pink.

Take a look.

-OK.

-Do you reckon you can do that?

-Yeah.

-Good, you've got ten seconds.

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

HE MOUTHS

Very good, very good. Estelle, your turn.

OK. Phoebe, your turn.

OK, Tamara, your turn.

All right, Amy, your turn.

Time's up! Stop miming.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

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

-Ooh...

Digging a hole?

It's not digging a hole. Which means we're playing for 40 points. Amy?

Erm, bat and ball?

It's not playing bat and ball, which means we're playing for 30 points.

-Tamara?

-Digging potatoes and throwing them into a sack?

SAM LAUGHS

That is very specific. It's not what we're looking for,

so we're playing for 20 points. Phoebe?

Is it playing tennis?

It's not playing tennis, which means we're playing for ten points.

I've got to say, Beth did a great job.

-Estelle?

-Playing badminton?

-Oh! Eh, I love a bit of badminton.

-It's not. Beth, do you want to tell everybody?

-It was playing volleyball!

Sadly, at the end of Mime Time, you don't get any points.

But give them a round of applause.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

OK, Alisha, I've got two cards here. I've got a blue or a yellowy-gold.

Blue! OK.

Yeah? You got that? Fantastic.

Best of luck to you. Ready, steady, mime.

Open the door.

OK, very good. OK, Keith.

OK, Becky.

OK, Penny! That was amazing.

What's happening? OK, Nat.

Stop miming!

-OK, for the maximum of 50 points, Jonathan?

-Don't know. Cheerleading?

-It's not cheerleading. OK, Nat, for 40 points, any idea?

-Clown?

Being a clown? It's not what we're looking for.

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

-An umbrella up in the rain?

You're absolutely right! Yeah!

CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

'Eh, see? It all paid off. You put the captain in booth number one.

-You get 30 points! Well done!

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

So, after Mime Time, is Beth's team's volleyball career buried in the sand?

And are Alisha's team singing in the rain?

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

'Well, Mark, after Mime Time, Beth's team have no points

'and Alisha's team have 30 points.'

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Time to get serious - Beth's team are facing the Copycats Challenge.

Earlier, Alisha's team scored important points in their Challenge,

but did they do enough? Only time will tell.

Beth, it's your chance to attempt to add crucial points to your score.

Now, Alisha's team, it's time for you to leave.

-But you will be coming back. Say goodbye to Alisha's team.

-Bye!

APPLAUSE See you later!

The results will be revealed at the end of the music round,

when the extra points may determine which team goes to the Ball Room.

Beth, you need to select three people to face the Copycats Challenge.

But before you do that, let's see what's in store. Mr D, over to you.

'The Tubes - as before,

'an image of a coloured tube will be displayed on the screen.

'Players place a ball in the tube and catch it as it exits.

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

Take a ball each. Best of luck, team. In three, two, one, let's roll!

'The screen will tell us which colour is first. It's a blue one.

'Here we go. This is for Beth.'

LAUGHS

'It's got to go along the tube - not fall out of the end.

'Next, it's Amy.

'A yellow tube. Oh, very nearly!

'Estelle. White.

'Oh! Nearly.

'OK, Beth's turn again. Round she goes...'

HE LAUGHS

'Not quite! Amy...

'It's fast and furious, but we're not scoring any points!

'Quickly as you can.

'Ooh!

'OK, Estelle is racing all the way round to the end of the green tube

'then goes round to catch it.

'We've got one. Excellent. OK, then, Beth, round you go.

'Be careful!

'White. Oh, not quite!

'OK, Amy, you have a go. Green this time...

'In that end, catch it at the other...

'If you can! We're not having a lot of luck here, are we?

'This is Estelle.'

HE LAUGHS

'Next, it's Beth.

'Come on, Beth. Red. Oh! Got to put it in the end of the tube there.

'Next, it's Amy.'

HE LAUGHS

'It's a lot of running! Oh!

'Never mind. Estelle, come on. Come on now, we must get some points.

'Black tube. No. Not on that occasion, anyway.

'Now it's Beth.

Quickly, quickly! Ohhh!

'A lot of effort, a lot of effort here.

'Amy. Come on, quickly, we're running out of time!

'Oh!'

APPLAUSE

That was so hard. Wow!

There's only one more round before we add those points to your total,

because we like to keep you guessing. Give Beth's team a round of applause!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Welcome back, Alisha's team.

Now, this is the Music Round.

Keith, you are going to pick a well-known tune

then recreate it using the world-famous Copycats kazoo.

Becky, listen to the tune very carefully,

because you are going to be the one that's copying it down the line.

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

Can everyone except Keith please now put their headphones on

so you do not hear what song has been selected. Thank you.

Copycats are ready. Let's close the doors.

All right, Keith, I've got three cards in my hand,

-blue, yellowy-gold or pinky-pink.

-I'll go pink.

-Pink? OK, mate. Have a look at that. Any idea?

-Absolutely not.

It's all right. We're going to play it into the studio.

# You got me begging you for mercy

# Why won't you release me?

# You got me begging you for mercy... #

-Got that melody in your head?

-Yeah.

-I have as well, it's a great song.

Good luck, Keith. Ready, steady, play. Open the door.

HE TRIES TO PLAY THE SONG

OK, Becky.

Oh...

I don't know what it is, but I like it!

HE HUMS ALONG

Carry on, it's great. Go on, Jonathan.

Go on, carry on!

OK, you can stop now. You can stop.

All right, for a maximum of 50 points, Alisha,

-any idea of the answer I've got on the card?

-Mamma Mia?

It's not the correct answer. For 40 points, Jonathan?

-Don't Stop Believing?

-Awesome song,

but it's not the one I've got on my card.

All right, open the door. For 30 points...

Row, Row, Row Your Boat?

It's not, I'm afraid.

-OK, let's open the door. For 20 points?

-Erm, Penny Lane?

It's not the right answer. OK, let's open the door.

-All right, Becky, for the minimum of ten points.

-Dancing Queen?

It is not Dancing Queen. Keith, go on.

-I hang my head in shame. It's Mercy by Duffy.

-Let's have a listen!

-All right!

-# Why won't you release me?

# You got me begging you for mercy... #

Alisha, unfortunately,

you don't get any points, but give them a round of applause anyway.

-APPLAUSE

-Very good!

Right, we've got two tunes left. We've got blue or gold.

-Ooh, gold, please.

-Gold, take a look.

SAM LAUGHS

Do you know that tune? Don't worry, we'll play it into the studio.

# Some people think I'm bonkers But I just think I'm free

# And I'm just living my life There's nothing crazy 'bout me... #

-OK, you've got ten seconds.

-Sorry!

-Ready, steady, play.

Ooh, it's not working!

NO SOUND COMES OUT

It's not working!

NO SOUND COMES OUT

Oh, dear!

SHE TRIES TO PLAY THE SONG

Tamara, your turn.

Amy!

Caroline, your turn.

Time's up! OK.

-For 50 points, any idea of the answer?

-Frosty The Snowman?!

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

-Caroline?

-Girls Just Want To Have Fun?

Sadly, it's not. Which means we're playing for 30 points. Amy?

-Erm, Honey Honey?

-It's not. OK, we're playing for 20 points.

-Tamara, what do you reckon it is?

-Coronation Street theme tune?

It's not, which means we're playing for ten points.

-Any idea?

-Is it Beat Again?

-By JLS? It's not.

Estelle, do you want to tell everybody?

-No! Bonkers.

-By Dizzee Rascal. Let's hear it.

# Some people think I'm bonkers But I just think I'm free

# And I'm just living my life... #

Sadly, that means at the end of the Music Round, you get no points.

Give them a round of applause.

APPLAUSE

'So, after three rounds,

'Beth's team have no points and Alisha's team have 30 points.'

I'm not going to lie to you, it's pretty low scores all around.

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 Copycats Ball Room?

The wait is over.

I can reveal that one team got ten points in the Challenge.

I can also reveal that one team got 50 points,

which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Alisha's team!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Commiserations, Beth's team. You've been fantastic.

We've enjoyed having you. Have you enjoyed it? ALL: Yeah!

Wicked, nice one. Thank you very much. Give it up for Beth's team!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Alisha's team, congratulations. You've made it this far.

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

limited edition, lovely, shiny, springy thing - the Copycats trophy!

ALL: Ooh!

-Like that?

-Yeah, I do, I do. Stop it. OK, here is the Ball Room.

-Whoo!

Alisha, who have you chosen to play the Ball Room?

-Me, Becky and Natalie.

-Awesome!

OK, well, before we open the doors,

let's take a look at 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.'

OK, if you're ready, in three, two, one...

ALL: Blast the balls!

'Off we go, then, Ball Room fans.

'Natalie catching the blue balls, Becky the yellow ones.

'Alisha is catching the reds - she's the team captain.

'Come on, Alisha, quickly as you can.

'That's it. The balls are going in now, which is good news.

'The blue and the yellow are doing quite well,

'Alisha's a bit behind with the red. Come on, you're the captain!

'Just wandering around in there. Come on!

'Only 30 seconds left. Come on, quickly as you can.

'Lots of applause and support from outside the Ball Room.

'Meanwhile, inside, blue and yellow are doing really well.'

'Come on, Alisha, you need more of those red balls.

'We're OK now on the blue front.

'That means Natalie can help Becky and Alisha with the yellow and red.

'Yellow almost there as well - in fact, they ARE there.

'We're just catching red ones.

'Don't put any more yellow ones in. Time's running out!'

FOGHORN WAILS

It was great. Nat was casually walking around,

"I'll get a blue, I've got loads of blues!"

It was so close, but you didn't do it.

Which means this has to go into some sort of golden case

and be left...forever!

-Good, good. But have you had a good time?

-ALL: Yeah!

-You don't go away empty-handed on Copycats. You get a T-shirt.

Each! Each!

You don't just get one big T-shirt! Have you had a good time?

-Brilliant.

-Fantastic. You've been an excellent team.

-Alisha's team.

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-I can't believe it, It's the end of the show!

-Oh, you're joking!

Don't worry, we'll see you next time on Copycats. Bye!
