Episode 6 Copycats

Welcome to Copycats with your hosts, Sam and Mark.

And today's copycats are...

Demi's team from Glasgow

and Niamh's team from Hertfordshire.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Come on!

BOTH: Hello!

Welcome to Copycats - the game show where cop...

Can I just interrupt you there, Sam?

-Yeah. Yeah, course you can.

-People said that copying was bad.

Yes, they did. Good point. But can we get on...

Some people said they would not be able to compete

for a bingy-bongy trophy.

-Who said that?

-Well, they were WRONG! They were ALL wrong!

-Can we just get on with the show, please?

-Yeah, why not.

-Brilliant.

Today's teams are playing for the greatest prize in game show history -

the Copycats bingy-bongy trophy.

-Let's meet the teams!

-Let's do it!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Demi, plant a high-five right there!

-You're team captain. How are you?

-I'm really good, thanks.

-Good, good. Are you all excited?

-Yeah.

-Team, are you all all right?

THEY CHEER

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

She's got a pet budgie called Maria. She called it Maria because

when she was in Italy, there was a stray cat and she named it Maria

but she found out it was a boy called Garibaldi

so she went home and got a budgie.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Something else I'm loving about this team - I'm with all the ladies.

THEY CHEER

All right. Demi's team, welcome to the show.

Good luck. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Very good. Over here, we have Niamh's team. How you doing?

Plant one on there. Yes!

Loving that. You're team captain. How's everyone else?

-Very good.

-Fantastic.

-Right, yes. We haven't seen your audition tape yet.

But we are about to. Have a look.

We're really happy, really smiley,

all enthusiastic.

# Time will come when everyone will know the name

# Of Champion the Wonder Horse! #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Right name, right dulcet tones, I've got to say.

It's lovely to have you on the show. Give it up for Niamh's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Looks like those cats are ready to get copying.

The teams take it in turns to copy pictures, actions

and displays of musical genius. # Ahh. #

-Nice.

-Thanks.

-To get as many points as possible,

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

Let's play Copycats!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Niamh's team. I hope you took note in art class -

it's time to play Quick On The Draw.

I've got three cards. Jonathan, you'll pick one.

You then have ten seconds to draw what's on the card

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

-Yep.

-Fantastic. There's a maximum of 50 points to be won.

Ss we pass it back down the line, you lose ten per wrong answer.

Perfect pictures get perfect points. Let's close the doors.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, Jonathan. We've got yellow, blue and pink.

-Blue, please.

-Blue. Have a look at that.

-All right?

-OK.

Quietly confident, I reckon. Good luck.

Ready, steady, draw! Open the door!

OK. Niamh thinks she's got it.

A lot of detail in there - you've only got ten seconds

so get in as much as you can.

Time to spare, Mark. OK.

Daniel's concentrating. He's looking - "What detail can I draw?"

OK.

Good copying, everyone.

All right. Last time.

Here we go.

Nearly there, nearly there.

Two, one, and stop drawing, please.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It didn't deviate very much, but for a maximum of 50 points,

-any idea what Kevin has drawn?

-Is it a hedgehog?

It is not a hedgehog.

It does look a lot like one but that's not what we're looking for.

Let's open the door. Kevin, what is the answer for 40 points?

Is it a crocodile?

It is not a crocodile.

Ohh. OK, for 30 points.

-Is it a porcupine?

-It is not a porcupine.

Some great pictures but... I thought Jonathan did great there.

-For 20 points.

-Is it an anteater?

Oh, we're going through every single animal except the right one.

OK. It's not right, I'm afraid. Finally, for ten points.

-Is it a dinosaur?

-It's a dinosaur!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done. That was amazing. Well done.

Well done. That means you're off the mark and Niamh's team get 10 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK. Lynn, yellow or pink?

-Yellow.

-Yellow! Take a look.

Do you reckon you can draw that?

Yeah? I reckon you can do it. Yeah.

OK, pick up your pen, Lynn. You've got ten seconds. Best of luck.

Ready, steady, draw!

Good.

Good start.

Time to spare.

Oh!

Not bad at all. Not bad at all.

Again, time to spare.

Ellen, your turn.

Try and use all the ten seconds if you can.

OK! Time's up! All right!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK. For a maximum of 50 points, any idea what Ellen has drawn there,

what it's meant to be?

-Was it a ghost?

-It's a ghost!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Nice work!

You didn't seem that confident at the start, but that's a great drawing!

-It goes down the line, you think, "Ooh!"

-Very true.

Wicked start - well done! 50 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

After Quick On The Draw,

let's hope Niamh's team don't become extinct before the end of the show.

Mm. And will Demi's team be haunted by their spooky performance?

Time to find out. Mr D, what are the scores?

After Quick On The Draw, Demi's team have 50 points

-and Niamh's team have 10 points.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-They're a lively, lively bunch today.

-They are indeed.

-I like it.

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

The game just got serious because this...

is the Copycats Challenge.

-It certainly is. Nice turn.

-Thanks.

Niamh's team will be first to attempt the challenge.

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

Demi's team, so you don't have an unfair advantage at your turn,

-we're going to send you off for a few minutes.

-Yeah, get off!

Have a nice cup of tea or listen to some German house music. Bye!

Niamh, as team captain,

you need to select three people to face the daunting Copycats challenge

but before that, let's find out what's in store. Over to Mr D.

The Tower. Players must attempt to remove 12 blocks

without the structure falling over.

Ten points will be awarded for each block removed.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-OK. Niamh, who's playing first?

-Me.

-The captain is going first. OK.

Get into position. You guys stand over here with me.

Right. Good luck, Niamh. Your time starts now.

OK. Pull them out!

And it's team captain Niamh first in.

Oh, don't hesitate. Come on.

Only got a minute and 30 seconds to achieve this.

She's going for, by the look of it... Is that a black block?

No, she's punching away at a yellow. Brilliant. We're off and running.

Good news. Next in is Kevin.

Kevin's in and a black box he goes for. Does it very quickly.

Well done! Suzanna's next.

Half-hearted attempt there.

What's she going for now? Red, by the look of it.

A lot easier. Well done, Suzanna. Niamh's back for her second go.

Which is she going to choose? A yellow one - quite high, that one.

Comes out nice and easily. Ooh! Easy, easy!

Kevin's in next. Ohh! Look at this!

What a brave man - one of the edge black blocks. Look at that!

Ooh!

Oh-ho, that was tricky.

Now, Suzanna, what's she going to do?

Got to be very careful here.

She is going for the other side. Another black block.

Ohh, gently does it.

Got to do this slowly. Mustn't...

Oh, don't pull it too hard.

Gently does it. The structure's got to stay standing.

It's in the rules. 15 seconds to go.

There we are. Brilliant. It's still standing.

Well done!

Niamh's back in.

Niamh's taking instruction, going for a yellow.

she hasn't got long, though!

You're running out of time, Niamh!

Stop, stop, stop, stop!

Come over here.

Come over here. OK.

-I thought that was going to go then! How you feeling? Good?

-Yeah.

Brilliant. You got yourselves six blocks.

-Well done!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

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

The points from those challenges can make all the difference -

a dream ticket to the Ball Room is at stake.

Demi's team, welcome back. You still all OK?

Yay!

Let's play Mime Time.

I hope your miming is as good as your drawing -

you got full points on Quick On The Draw. Going to do the same again?

-Yeah!

-Beautiful. Here's what'll happen.

I've got three cards. You'll pick one and have ten seconds

to mime whatever is on that card for the person next to you

and so on down the line.

Remember, we're looking for silent performances.

Copycats, are you ready? ALL: Yeah!

All right! Let's close the doors!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-OK. Demi, yellow, blue or pink?

-Yellow.

-Take a look.

Do you reckon you can do that?

-Uh-huh.

-Best of luck.

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

Take a good look, Natasha. OK, Natasha, go!

Take a good look, Sophie.

OK, Sophie's turn.

Good copying.

All right, Ellen. Your turn.

OK. Your turn.

Time's up! All right! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Good copying down the line.

For a maximum of 50 points, Lynn, what's the answer we're after?

Monkey dance?

I'm going to give you that! Monkey!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Excellent. Good work. Hey, Demi!

Great start with the dancing. Do you watch monkeys a lot

-and look at their moves?

-No!

Well, well done. You get yourselves another 50 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Niamh, sweetheart, we've got pink and blue. which do you want?

-Mm...blue.

-Have a look at that.

-Mm-hm. Yeah.

-OK. All right.

Ready, steady, mime!

Open the doors.

OK, great.

Keep watching, Kevin.

All right.

Very good copying. Can't argue with that.

OK. Last time.

Jonathan's nodding.

Nearly there.

-OK, stop! All right!

-APPLAUSE

For a maximum of 50 points, Jonathan,

-what do you think we're looking for?

-Blowing your nose and sneezing.

Blowing your nose! Yeah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

that means Niamh's team get the maximum 50 points! Well done!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Have Demi's team been spending too much time monkeying about?

Or have Niamh's team blown their chances?

Those all-important scores, Mr D. What could they be?

After Mime Time, Demi's team have 100 points.

And Niamh's team have 60!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ohh! Mexican wave and everything!

It's time to get serious once again.

Demi's team are about to face the Copycats Challenge.

Niamh's team built up a pile of important points in their challenge.

-But did they do enough? Only time will tell.

-Niamh's team, time to go.

-Bye!

-Bye!

The results of the challenge will be revealed after the Music Round.

The extra points may determine who wins their tickets to the Ball Room.

Now, Demi, as team captain, you need to select three people to take part

in the daunting Copycats Challenge.

Before you do, let's take a look what's in store. Mr D?

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

without the structure falling over.

Ten points will be awarded for each block removed.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Lovely. OK, who's going first?

I'm going first. Lynn's going second, Mum's going third.

Beautiful. Demi, you stay here.

Ladies, step off the mat. Best of luck. Your time starts now.

Demi is off. One minute and 30 second for this game.

She's going straight for a yellow. Good start.

No dithering - straight in there.

A yellow block is pulled through. We're off to a good start.

Next in, it's Lynn.

Lynn goes halfway up for a red one.

There we go. Pulling that one through as well.

This is very quick, this round. This is Demi's mum, Ellen.

She's gone for a yellow one. Excellent.

Demi's back in now.

What's she going to choose? A black one.

A lower black block is being pulled through.

Very careful doing that - she did it quickly, with confidence.

She did it well!

Next is Lynn, taking one of the black ones as well.

Demi's mum, Ellen, goes back in.

going for a higher black block.

We're stacking them up. This is excellent.

Very, very fast.

40 seconds to go. Demi's back in. Takes another block.

And then Lynn goes in.

No hesitation, she goes straight in there

and take a yellow one.

Ellen next. She's punching away quite high up.

But she's done it. There we are. Excellent.

Now it's time for Demi to go back in.

This is where it gets a bit tricky.

Not very obvious, this. There's a yellow right at the top

but it's far too high, I think, for Demi.

So...Mum's advising one of the black ones.

It's lower down. Got to do this very gently.

Very gently.

The structure has to stay standing! Gently does it!

Ohh, it's toppling!

Now, obviously, we can't count that last one because the tower toppled

but you got one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,

nine blocks!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Wow.

All right! Welcome back, Niamh's team.

This is the Music Round.

All you do is pick a well-known tune

and play it on the old Copycats kazoo.

Daniel, you need to listen to the tune and copy it to Kevin

and so on down the line. OK?

Except for Mark, please put your headphones on

so you don't hear what song is being selected. Thank you very much.

Copycats are ready. Let's close the doors!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Right. Pink, blue or yellow?

-Let's go for Daniel's favourite colour - yellow.

-OK, have a look.

You got that in your head? All right.

If you didn't know it, we'll play it into the studio right now.

# Don't feel like dancin', dancin'

# Even if I find nothin' better to do

# Don't feel like dancin', dancin'

# Why'd you pick a tune when I'm not in the mood... #

Yes! Scissor Sisters! YES!

-Brilliant. Are you ready, Mark?

-Yep.

Bit scared, I know. All right.

Ready, steady, play! Open the doors!

HE COPIES THE TUNE

Brilliant. OK.

HE PLAYS A DIFFERENT TUNE

OK.

HE PLAYS A DIFFERENT TUNE

Close the door!

SHE COPIES THE TUNE

Good song.

One-handed kazooing. Awesome!

HE COPIES THE TUNE

Stop playing!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well that was fun! I had fun dancing along to you.

For the maximum of 50 points, Niamh. Any idea what Jonathan was playing?

I recognise the tune but I don't know what it is but I'll guess.

-Please do.

-Hey, Jude?

Hey Jude! Oh, cracking tune.

Unfortunately, that's not what we're looking for. OK.

Let's open the doors. For 40 points, Jonathan, any idea what it was?

Was it the Macarena?

It wasn't the Macarena. I wish it was.

Then we could do that dance. Open the doors.

For 30 points, Suzanna, any idea what Kevin was playing?

-Was it the Star Wars theme tune?

-It wasn't, I'm afraid.

Good guess, though. Let's open the doors.

For 20 points, come on, guys. Kevin.

Er...The Wombles theme tune.

LAUGHTER

# The Wombles of Wimbledon... # It did sound like that! It's not!

Really want it to be right! For ten points, Daniel.

Mark, you played this excellently.

Not going to lie to you.

Er...is it...Bad Romance?

Bad Romance? It's not, I'm afraid.

Could you tell us what you were playing, Mark?

-Don't Feel Like Dancin' by the Scissor Sisters.

-Play it!

# Don't feel like dancin', dancin'

# Even if I find nothin' better to do... #

Unfortunate, but it does mean, Niamh's team, you get zero points.

But we can give you a round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-OK, Natasha. Pink or blue?

-Pink.

-Take a look.

-Do you know that song?

-Yes.

-Beautiful.

We'll play it into the studio anyway. Let's take a listen.

# Oops, I did it again

# I played with your heart Got lost in the game

# Oh, baby, baby... #

Pick up your kazoo. Best of luck. Ten seconds. Ready, steady, play!

SHE COPIES THE TUNE

Good. Very good. Sophie, your turn.

SHE COPIES THE TUNE

Not bad at all. Ellen, your turn.

SHE PLAYS A SIMILAR TUNE

OK, go.

SHE PLAYS A SIMILAR TUNE

Lynn, your turn!

SHE PLAYS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TUNE

SHE LAUGHS

Time's up!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Interesting.

Italiano? I don't know! I don't know!

Ahhh!

Debbie, I won't lie - I don't know what you're saying!

-LAUGHTER

-I don't know!

-Any idea? Pick a song!

-Is it...Simpsons?

-The Simpsons theme tune? It's not.

-I know it's not.

We're playing for 40 points. Lynn, any idea what the song is?

-Italiano?

-That's what I meant!

THAT'S what you meant! Oh! It's not Italiano.

Playing for 30 points! What we looking for?

-Oops, I did it again?

-Yes!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# I played with your heart... #

That's amazing!

I didn't think you were going to get that!

You get yourselves 30 points! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

so, after three rounds, Demi's team have 130 points

and Niamh's team have 60 points.

OK, well high scores from Demi's team

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

Which team conquered the big tower?

Which team are set to storm the Copycats Ball Room?

-I can reveal, one team got 60 points.

-60 points!

I can also reveal, one team got 90 points.

which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Demi's team!

Commiserations, Niamh's team.

You've been a fantastic team. Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-ALL: Yes!

-That's the main thing on Copycats.

-Lovely to have you on the show.

-Niamh's team, everyone!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, team, you've made it this far and it's now time to compete

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

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

-Yes!

-OK. Demi, who have you chosen to play?

Me, Sophie and Dana.

OK. Before we open the doors, let's 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 cylinders

before the time runs out.

Good luck.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

If you're ready... Three, two, one. Blast the balls!

OK, time starts now. We're looking for 12 of each colour

in the scoring cylinders.

Not a lot of scoring going on at the moment.

A slow start as we test their ball-catching skills.

Sophie's catching blue, Demi's catching yellow,

Dana's catching the red balls.

Let's see how they're getting on.

We're doing well on the reds. Well done, Dana.

Look at those going in!

As soon as Dana has all her 12, she can help the others.

That's how it works.

You can catch these balls in mid-air but you mustn't pick them up.

Eight blues, five yellows. Looks like there's enough reds.

Dana can now help the other girls with their colours.

Quickly as we can!

18 seconds to go, girls.

Catch as many as you can.

Reds - you've enough. Blue and yellow, almost there!

Do a bit of totting up here. I reckon we've done it!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Get in there!

Demi's team, you did that with not a lot of time to spare

but you did win and that means you win the Copycats trophy!

Champione!

Nice work. Have you had a good time? ALL: Yeah!

Excellent. I can't believe it. It's only the end of the show!

ALL: Ohh!

Hey, but we'll be back! See you next time on Copycats.

BOTH: Bye!
