Episode 1 Copycats

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

'And today's Copycats are...

'Holly's Team from Penarth

'and Cameron's Team from Lancashire.'

CHEERING, APPLAUSE

-BOTH:

-Hello!

-And welcome to a brand-new series of Copycats,

the game show where copying is good.

Whether it's drawing, miming or playing the kazoo,

the better you are at copying, the more points you'll get.

The team with the most points at the end of the show

will get the chance to play for the new-and-improved

but still bingy-boingy Copycats Trophy!

-AUDIENCE:

-Whoo!

-It's gold!

-I'm very excited.

-Shall we meet the teams?

-Let's do it.

-Yes!

-Holly's Team, are you all right? ALL:

-Yeah!

I want to meet you all. Holly, introduce the team, please.

-This my cousin, Bethan.

-Hi.

-Hello.

-This is my best friend, Rhian.

-Hello.

-This is Rhian's mum, Dionne.

-Hello.

-Hiya.

-This is my mum, Cathy.

-Hi.

-And this is my dad, Perry.

Nice. Lovely to meet you all.

-Are you excited to be here? ALL:

-Yes!

-Are you going to win?

-Yes!

-Aw, yeah! The best of luck for today.

It's Holly's Team, everybody! APPLAUSE

Over here we've got Cameron's Team. Cameron, team captain,

-you know what I see when I look into your eyes?

-What?

A winner!

A winner. That's what I see.

-Do you want to introduce your team?

-Yeah, this is my brother, Cain.

This is my friend, Harvey. This is my dad, Jon.

This is my dad's girlfriend, Karen. And this is my friend, Lisa.

All right. Give it up for Cameron's Team, everyone.

CHEERING

It looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

As with every game of Copycats, the teams will take turns

-to copy pictures, actions, and music.

-Each team will take it in turns

to face the Copycats Challenge later.

We tossed a coin before the show which told us that Holly's Team

are going to be playing first. Let's play Copycats.

OK, Holly's Team, I hope you've been brushing up on your artistic skills

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

Holly, you've chosen the order in which you all stand in this round.

-How come you've gone for Perry first?

-Because he's got an A-level in art

-and he'll be good at drawing.

-You have an A-level in art?!

Yes, I do. It's never done me any good.

-Oh, really?! Hopefully, it'll do you good here.

-Until now!

-Exactly!

That's what we like to hear.

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

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

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

There are 50 points to be won.

As we pass back down the line, you'll lose ten points,

-for every incorrect answer. Copycats, are you ready?

-Yes!

Awesome. Let's close the doors. CHEERING, APPLAUSE

Perry, I've got three cards -

orange, green or purple. Which would you like?

-I'll have purple.

-Take a look.

-Cheers.

Lovely.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-Yeah.

-OK.

Ready, steady, draw!

Very good. A lot of detail there. Brilliant.

Excellent copying. Dionne.

OK. Bethan, your turn.

OK. Holly.

Time's up. Stop drawing! Very good copying!

Very good copying.

-Cathy, for 50 points, what's the answer?

-Sunglasses.

Yeah! CHEERING

Excellent. Perfect start. You get yourselves

the full 50 points.

APPLAUSE

Lisa, I've two cards, green or orange. Which would you like?

-I'll have the green, please.

-OK. Have a look at that.

-OK.

-Yeah? You've got that in your head?

-Yes.

-Best of luck, Lisa.

-Thank you.

-Ready, steady, draw!

Get as much detail in there as possible.

OK. Karen, your turn.

-LAUGHTER

-OK.

LAUGHTER

Time to spare(!)

LAUGHTER

-Stop drawing!

-CHEERING, APPLAUSE

OK, for the maximum of 50 points, Harvey...?

-Is it a tortoise?

-It is not a tortoise.

-Let's open the door. Cameron?

-Is it a rabbit?

It is not a rabbit.

OK, we're going through all the animal kingdom.

Is it a butterfly?

-It is not a butterfly.

-LAUGHTER

OK, let's open the door.

For 20 points, Cain?

Is it a three-eyed dog?

-LAUGHTER

-"A three-eyed dog"?!

I'm not going to lie to you. That's not what I've got on the card!

Good guess, though.

This is a great drawing!

Karen, Karen, what is it, Karen?

It is...a watering can.

-It is a watering can!

-CHEERING

Cameron's Team,

you did get off the mark with ten points.

Give them a round of applause.

APPLAUSE

After Quick On The Draw, are Holly's team having to wear sunglasses

because they're going to get blinded by the Copycats trophy

-cos it's so golden when I give it to 'em?

-It's early days!

Have Cameron's Team dried up? Let's look at the scores, Mr D.

'Well, Mark, after Quick On The Draw,

'Holly's Team have 50 points

'and Cameron's Team have ten points.'

It's early days, guys. Early days.

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

Yes, the game just got serious

because this is the Copycats Challenge.

Because my team won the toss, they will go first.

My team, so you don't get a peek of the challenge,

we're sending you away. But you are coming back.

-Say goodbye to Cameron's Team, everyone!

-Bye!

-Bye!

-You can have a croissant or something, yeah?

-Yeah.

-Get a French pastry down your neck.

-Continental!

-Holly,

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

the awesome Copycats Challenge, but before you do that,

let's take a look at what the challenge is. Mr D, over to you.

'The Square. The Square contains 36 lights.

'12 will illuminate white.

'Players tilt the Square to guide the ball over the white lights

'to turn them green.

'Ten points are awarded for every green light.'

CHEERING, APPLAUSE

In three, two, one, tilt!

-MR D:

-'Off we go, then. 12 white lights,

'ten points for every green light.

'Dionne, Perry and Holly, playing together as a team.

'That's what this game is all about - working as a team.

'There's the first one. Excellent.

'That will go green. There it is. Good.

'Fairly and squarely across the white light

'and it will go green, once you make that ball move

'around The Square. That's another one. Good going.

'You don't stand right on top of the ball itself, though.

'That's what you do. Get away and it makes the ball move.'

That's it. Nice!

'Oh, they are moving together. This is very good going.

'As a team, you have to decide where you put yourself

'to make the ball go in the right direction. There's another one.

'A lot of concentration on Perry's face there.

'It's working, though. This is very good.

'Come on, as quickly as you can, move that across. That's another.

'Now, where are you going, guys?

'Don't get too close to the ball itself.

'The further away you go, the more tilt.

'Come on. Move that one. That's it.

'Go to the far end of The Square. That's it.

'It's not moving! Come on, 20 seconds to go.

Get a move on!

'Now, come on, that's it. Over that side.

'You haven't given yourselves much room, though.

'Gently does it, remember. Come on. You can do this.

'Quickly, quickly!

-MR D LAUGHS

-'Crouching in the corner!

-'Oh, come on!'

-Time's up, time's up.

Come down here, guys.

Brilliant. Well done, guys.

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

Cameron's Team still need to face the challenge.

The points from the challenge could make a difference

because the Dream Ticket to the Ball Room is at stake.

Give it up for Holly's Team! CHEERING

Welcome back to the game, Cameron's Team.

Let's play Mime Time.

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

and you'll have ten seconds to mime

whatever is on that card for the player next to you, Lisa,

and then so on and so on down the line.

There's a maximum of 50 points to be won,

so if you know the answer, try and add more detail

to help the mime make it to the end. As with every pass-it-on game,

for every incorrect answer, you will lose ten points.

Copycats, are you ready? You certainly look ready.

OK. Close the doors.

APPLAUSE

Best of luck, mate. I've got orange, purple or green.

-Which one would you like?

-May I have orange?

-Yes.

Look at that.

-OK, then.

-Yeah?

MARK LAUGHS

All right, quiet confidence. I like that.

OK, Cameron. The best of luck.

Ready, steady, mime! Open the door!

Remember, silent performances.

OK. Lisa.

OK. Karen.

OK. Harvey.

OK. Cain.

-OK, stop miming!

-CHEERING

A lot of interesting faces.

OK, for the maximum of 50 points, what's the answer, Jon?

Did he stub his toe?

-Yes! Well done, mate! Well done!

-APPLAUSE

Oh!

You weren't wrong there, Cameron, to put yourself first.

You did a cracking job. You were in a lot of pain, you guys!

I wouldn't like to stub my toe like you did there.

You get the maximum 50 points. Congratulations!

APPLAUSE

-OK, Holly, I've got two cards - green or purple?

-Purple.

Take a look.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Mm, yeah.

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

Ready, steady, mime!

Very good. Perry.

Awesome. Bethan.

OK. Rhian.

Time's up! Stop miming!

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

-Is it powdering a wig?

-"Powdering a wig"!

It's not powdering a wig,

which means we're playing for 40 points. Cathy?

-Putting gel in your hair.

-Yay!

Excellent miming down the line there, Holly.

Awesome work, putting yourself first. Great acting. You get 40 points.

APPLAUSE

So, after Mime Time, have Cameron's Team stubbed out the opposition?

And was that a slick performance from Holly's Team?

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

'Well, Sam, after Mime Time, Holly's Team have 90 points,

'and Cameron's Team have 60 points.'

-It could all change.

-It could.

-It's time to get serious once again.

Cameron's Team are about to face the Copycats Challenge.

Earlier in the show, Holly's Team built up a pile of those

all-important points in their challenge, but did they do enough?

I don't know. Did they? BOTH: Only time will tell.

Yeah, you're right.

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

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Yeah, you are!

Good! Holly's Team, we're going to send you off.

Off you go, see you later!

APPLAUSE

Enjoy it. Enjoy the time that you have. Enjoy it! She'll be back!

Remember, the results of the challenge will be revealed at the end

of the show when the extra points scored here

will determine which team wins their tickets to the Ball Room.

-It's very tense, will you massage me?

-No!

-Right!

Cameron, as you are team captain, you need to select three people

to face the Copycats Challenge, but before that,

you get your first look of what we've got in store for you.

-Mr D, what could it be?

-Go on! MOUTHS:

-No.

'The Square.

'As before, the Square contains 36 lights. 12 will illuminate white.

'Players must tilt the Square to guide the ball over the

'white lights to turn them green.

'Ten points are awarded for every green light.'

OK, three, two, one... Tilt!

'Here we go then. The aim is to turn the 12 white lights green.

'As many as you can in the time, please.

'You can see the time ticking down in the corner of your screen.

'Is that the first one? Yes it is! Good.

'They're sticking very closely together, this team.'

HE LAUGHS

'Cameron's controlling them. And it's very wise to do so.

'Look at that! Two already.'

HE LAUGHS

'They're inseparable!

'Hurling themselves across the square. Now get down to the bottom.

'That's it! It's gone green, anyway. Come on!

-'Let's move on to the next white light.'

-You're doing really well.

-HE LAUGHS:

-'50 seconds left, guys. They're having a lot of fun.

'That's another one!

'Four already!

'Come on, come on, come on, come on!'

HE LAUGHS

'Well done. Karen shouting at them, moving them around. That's good.

'Combined body weight, that's what this game is all about.

'Cain, you get back on! That's it! Well done.

'Right on the edge of the Square, but it's working.

'25 seconds left.

'Got five. Let's get another one here.

'Yes, well done!'

-Excellent!

-'You can see Karen's planning it.

'She's deciding which way that ball should go. And it is going that way!

'This is very good! Very, very good. Less than ten seconds. Come on!

-'Quickly, quickly, quickly!'

-HE LAUGHS

'They're doing well! Yes!'

OK, stop!

-Go on, guys.

-Go on, Cain.

Well done, guys!

You were like moving together as a three. It was great!

One more red to play before we add those points to your total, and we

can reveal which team are going to be playing for the Copycats Trophy.

Give it up one more time for Cameron's Team. Well done!

Brilliant!

Welcome back, Holly's Team. This is the music round.

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

then recreate that tune using the world famous Copycats kazoo.

Could everybody except Dionne please put

your headphones on so you don't hear which song is being selected?

Can you hear me?

Perry? Perry?

Perry? Perry?

OK, he can't hear me! Our Copycats are ready. Let's close the doors.

Dionne, we've got three tunes - purple, orange or green.

Which would you like?

I'll go for the orange.

-Do you know that tune?

-Yes.

We are going to play it into the studio.

Listen to it, get the melody in your head. Let's hear it.

MUSIC: "Boom Boom Pow" by Black Eyed Peas

OK, the best of luck, Dionne. You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, play!

Very good.

OK, Holly.

OK, Cathy.

Rhian.

Time's up! Stop playing.

Perry, bless you.

Good luck with this one!

For a maximum of 50 points, any idea of the answer?

Blondie, Atomic.

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

-Rhian, any idea of the answer?

-Umm... Lady Gaga?

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

Cathy, any idea?

-We're Moving On Up?

-We are.

But it's not, I'm afraid, which means we're playing for 20 points.

Holly, any idea?

-Congratulations?

-Congratulations!

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

Dionne did a cracking job. Bethan, any idea?

Boom Boom Pow?

Yay!

APPLAUSE

Excellent work! Hey, ten points are better than no points. Well done.

Give them a round of applause, everybody.

Lovely Lisa. I've got two cards left, a green or a purple one.

-Which one would you like?

-I'll go for purple.

Have a look at that.

-Excellent!

-Excellent!

Let's have a listen.

MUSIC: "Baby" by Justin Bieber

-OK, the best of luck, Lisa.

-Thank you.

Your ten seconds will start...

Ready, steady, play! Open the door.

-MOUTHS:

-Wow!

OK, Cameron.

OK, Cain.

OK, Jon.

Smooth!

Stop playing.

There were some beautiful tunes coming out of that kazoo!

For the maximum of 50 points, Harvey,

what's the answer that I've got on the card?

-McFly?

-McFly? It is not McFly.

OK, let's open the door. Karen?

-Lady Gaga?

-It is not Lady Gaga.

Let's open the door. Jon?

What was Cain playing there beautifully?

Was it Sunshine On A Rainy Day?

It is not. Lovely song, though.

Let's open the door. For 20 points, Cain, you know this.

I know you know this!

Blue Moon?

Blue Moon! Oh, no!

OK, Cameron, for ten points.

-It's Baby, Baby, Baby.

-Yes, it is. Let's have a listen.

APPLAUSE

Come on, audience!

You get yourselves ten points. Congratulations!

Round of applause.

Well done.

'OK, so up to three rounds.

'Holly's Team have 100 points,

'and Cameron's Team have 70 points.'

It's a good one, this.

Amazingly, both teams scored points in every Pass It On round,

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

Which team smashed The Square?

-And which team are shimmying to the Ball Room?

-The wait is over.

I can reveal that one team got...

50 points in the challenge.

AUDIENCE: Woo!

Respectable! I can also reveal that one team got...

70 points in the challenge.

AUDIENCE: Woo!

-More respectable!

-Indeed! Which means, after all that,

there's only ten points between the teams.

So the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room,

and playing for the trophy, is...

Holly's Team!

Well done. Well done, Holly's Team.

But commiserations to Cameron's Team.

You had fun, guys? You've been a fantastic team.

Give it up for Cameron's Team, everyone. Brilliant.

OK, Holly's Team, you have made it this far, and now it's time

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

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

APPLAUSE

Oh, yeah! Here is the Ball Room.

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

Rhian, Bethan, and Perry.

Ooh! So you're standing this one out?

-Interesting!

-Cheerleader, good. I like that. I like it.

OK, well, before we open the doors to the Ball Room,

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

'The Ball Room.

'Players must collect 25 green balls

'and deposit them in the scoring cylinder before the time runs out.

'Any rogue-coloured balls collected will be deducted from the total.

'Good luck!'

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

-BOTH:

-Blast the balls!

'Here we go, then. It's Holly's Team without Holly.

'There's Bethan, Holly's cousin, Rhian, Holly's best friend,

'and Perry, Holly's dad. Catching as many green balls as they can.

'Will it be for 25 in the scoring cylinder when the time runs out?

'Quite a few in there already, and three in a row there, look at that.

'Come on, Perry! We're relying on you! Come on!

'Green ones only. Any rogue-coloured balls

'will be deducted from the total.

'You can hear "green" being chanted from outside.

'Inside, real concentration on that face. Look!'

-HE LAUGHS

-'Wow!'

'Another stack going in. Good scoring at the moment.

'But will it be enough? Come on!

'Keep up the pace! Time's running out. Ten seconds.

'A whole handful for Perry going in. Look at that! Excellent!

'Time's running out, though. Come on, come on!

KLAXON BLARES

Now, unfortunately,

we can't count that last ball cos it was just out of time.

However, the other balls have been counted,

the results have been checked and verified.

-You needed to get 25 green balls to win the trophy.

-It's very close.

I can reveal that you collected...

..twenty...

..seven green balls.

-They've won the Copycats Trophy.

-Awesome!

-Happy?

What a stupid question, Mark! Have you had a good day?

-Yeah.

-Awesome. Give it up for Holly's Team, everybody.

-I've got an announcement.

-Go on.

-It's the end of the show.

-What?!

Look at this face! Sad! Be sad!

-Hey, don't worry. We'll see you next time on Copycats.

-Bye!
