Episode 10 Copycats

.

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

'Today's copycats are Alice's team from Kent,

'and James's team from Newcastle.'

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

whether it's drawing, miming or...

Sorry, Sam. Can I just stop you there?

We've had a letter from a fan asking us to bring back Hamster Ball Havoc.

Hamster Ball Havoc is gone. Finished.

It hasn't featured since series one

and to be honest it was more fun to watch than play.

-Calm down.

-No, I won't, Sam! I won't!

There are no hamster balls whatsoever on this show, all right?

That's what I'm telling you.

AH! You're right, Mark! You're right, yeah!

There will be no more. Did you enjoy that?

That's a nice cuddle.

Shall we meet the teams?

-Can I have another cuddle?

-No.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Over here we've got Alice's team.

Are you all right? ALL: Yeah!

-Alice, captain. Introduce the gang.

-This is Luke, my friend.

This is my best friend, Abi.

-This is Abi's mum, Joanne.

-Sorry.

-You're all right.

-This is Luke's mum, Caroline.

And this is my a lovely mum, Abbey.

Nice to see you all. Are you excited and ready and raring for it?

ALL: Yeah!

Give it up for Alice's team!

APPLAUSE

Lovely team over there but I've got a lovelier team over here.

James's team. Welcome. Are you raring to go?

James, team captain.

Introduce the rest of the gang, please.

This is my friend, Patrick

and my other friend, Alex.

Over here is my mum, Ruth,

my dad, Noel, and behind me is my Uncle David.

Lovely to have you on the show. Are you looking forward to it?

-ALL: Yeah!

-Give it up for James's team, everyone.

APPLAUSE

It looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

The teams will take it in turn 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 on

and the chance to win the Copycats Trophy.

-AUDIENCE: Whoo!

-Whoo, indeed.

We tossed a coin before the show

so James's team are going to be playing first.

-Let's play Copycats.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, James's team.

I hope you've practiced your artistic skills

because it's Quick on the Draw.

I've got three cards.

You're going to pick one and have 10 seconds to draw whatever it is

on that card for the player next to you, Ruth.

-And so on down the line. Any good at drawing, Noel?

-So-so.

-I'll give it a shot.

-That's all we ask for on Copycats.

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

As you pass it down the line,

you lose 10 of those points for every incorrect answer.

Understand? More importantly, guys, are you ready?

ALL: Yes!

All right, let's close the doors!

I've three cards here. Which would you like?

I'll have this, the pinky red one.

The best of luck. Ready, steady, draw.

OK, James. Your turn.

OK, Alex. Your turn.

Try and get as much detail in there as possible.

10 seconds is not a long time.

David, your turn.

Stop drawing. OK.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

There is a maximum of 50 points. Any idea of the answer?

-Glass?

-No. It is not a glass.

OK, 40 points, David. What are we looking for?

-A trophy?

-I think you're right.

-Yes, it is a trophy.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, you get yourselves 40 points.

All right. Luke, we've got two cards left. Which one would you like?

-Purple.

-Purple. Take a look.

Ha-ha! That's not a good face, Luke. Reckon you can draw that?

Yeah.

OK, you've got 10 seconds. The best of luck.

Ready, steady, draw.

OK. Joanne, your turn.

OK, Abi. Your turn.

OK, Caroline. Your turn.

With time to spare.

All right, Abbey. Your turn.

-LAUGHTER

-I don't know if that's right.

Time's up. Stop drawing.

Alice, for 50 points, what do you think the answer is?

A cat?

That does look like a cat but that's not the answer.

We're playing for 40 points. What do you reckon?

-A dog?

-It's not a dog.

-Which means we are playing for 30 points. Caroline?

-A pig?

It's not a pig. Which means we are playing for 20 points. Abi?

-A horse?

-It's not a horse.

Which means we're playing for a minimum of 10 points.

It is quite tough, this.

-Joanne, any idea?

-A cow?

-Close, actually, that. It's not.

-Luke, do you want to tell everyone?

-A bull.

-That's really hard!

-LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

It was quite hard, actually. To be fair.

That means at the end of the first round you don't get any points.

There's a long way to go. Give them a clap.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, after Quick on the Draw,

Are James's team celebrating on an open-top bus?

And have Alice's team been thrown off the bucking bronco?

Let's find out the scores. Mr D, what could they be?

'Well, Sam. After Quick on the Draw, Alice's team have no points

'and James's team have 40 points.'

-Long way to go.

-Still early days.

The next round will test a team's skill, nerve and determination.

The game just got serious.

I've got my serious face on because this is the Copycats Challenge.

My team won the toss so they'll go first.

My team, so that you don't get a peek of what's in store,

we're going to send you off but you'll be back.

Say bye to Alice's team. Miss you already.

-Miss you more!

-Miss you more!

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

to face the magnificent Copycats Challenge.

Before you do, let's find out what is in store.

Mr D, what could it be? You can go, now.

'The Bounce. Five shapes will be shown on the screen.

'Players must copy the sequence whilst bouncing on the trampoline.

'10 points are awarded for every shape in the correct order.'

Good luck, Alex. Here comes your sequence.

'The cheerleader.

'Air guitar.

'The Cossack.

'The funky chicken.

'The rocket.'

If you're ready, shape one.

Cheerleader.

Shape two.

Air guitar.

Shape three.

-Cossack.

-Shape four.

-Cheerleader.

-Shape five?

-The Cossack.

-OK, mate. Nice one.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'The Cossack.

'The rocket.

'The funky chicken.

'Air guitar.

'The cheerleader.'

OK, if you're ready. Shape one.

-The Cossack.

-Shape two.

-Shape three.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, guys. Remember, we'll add those challenge points to the score

after the music round.

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

Points from the challenge could make a difference

because a ticket to the ballroom is at stake.

Give it up one more time for James's team. Well done, guys.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back to the game, Alice's team. Let's play Mime Time.

Abby, I've got three cards.

You're going to pick one you'll then have 10 seconds to mime

whatever is on that card to the player next to you, which is Abi.

And so on. As with all the Pass it on Rounds, 50 points are up for grabs.

Don't forget, you will lose 10 points for every incorrect answer

going down the line.

You know the rules.

Copycats, are you ready? ALL: Yes!

In that case, let's close the doors.

Here, Abby. Which one would you like?

-This, please.

-Orange. Take a look.

-OK.

-The best of luck.

Ready, steady, mime.

OK, Abi, your turn.

All right, Caroline, your turn.

OK, Alice.

Luke, your turn.

Time's up, stop miming. OK.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

-Washing your hair.

-It's not, unfortunately.

It did look like that but that's not the answer. Luke?

Having a shower?

It's not having a shower. For 30 points, Alice?

Combing your hair?

It's not combing your hair. For 20 points, Caroline.

-Fixing your hair.

-It is not, unfortunately.

We're playing for the minimum of 10 points.

I can see how you got that. It is a tough one, actually. Abi.

-Cutting your hair?

-It's not. Abby, do you want to tell them?

Putting on a wig.

Ah, really difficult, actually. It was entertaining, anyway.

Give them a round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

James, I've got two cards left.

-Green or purple, which would you like?

-Purple, please.

Have a look at that.

Do you know what that is?

The best of luck, James.

Ready, steady, mime. Open the door.

Noel, your turn.

Patrick, your turn.

OK, Alex. Your turn.

Brilliant. David, your turn.

LAUGHTER

-Stop miming!

-APPLAUSE

OK, for a maximum of 50 points,

Ruth, what is the answer I've got on my card?

Funky dancing.

It was funky dancing but it's not what I've got on my card.

Let's open the door for 40 points. David, what was Alex doing?

Puppet?

Oh yeah, I get what you mean. It's wrong.

Let's open the door for 30 points. Alex?

Drying himself off?

Ah, I know what you're saying. It is wrong, I'm afraid, mate.

Let's open the door for 20 points.

Patrick, any idea what Noel was doing?

Was he kicking wasps and getting them out of his hair and stuff?

That's a great guess.

It's not, I'm afraid, mate. Let's open the door.

-Noel, for 10 points.

-Shaking your feet?

It wasn't shaking your feet. James, what were you doing?

-Doing keepy-uppy with a football.

-Ah!

They're all going, "Ah! No! Ah!"

-APPLAUSE

-Unlucky.

You don't get any points but please give them a round of applause.

-That entertained me a lot.

-APPLAUSE

So, after Mime Time,

will Alice's team have to pay the price for that performance?

Very good. And do James's team need to brush up on their technique?

SHATTERING GLASS

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

'After Mime Time, Alice's team have no points

'and James's team have 40 points.'

All right, calm down.

It's time to get serious once again.

Alice's team are about to do the Copycats Challenge.

It's now a chance to add some crucial points to your overall score.

Are you ready?

-Yes.

-It's a silent nod, I like it.

OK, James's team. Off you go.

We'll be seeing you later. Say goodbye to James's team.

Alice, you must select three people to face the Copycats Challenge.

Before that, let's see what's in store. Mr D, what could it be?

'The Bounce. As before, five shapes will be shown on the screen.

'Players must copy the sequence whilst bouncing on the trampoline.

'10 points are awarded for every shape in the correct order.'

OK, Abby. Here comes your sequence.

'The cheerleader.

'Air guitar.

'The Cossack.

'The funky chicken.

'The rocket.'

Good luck. If you're ready, shape one.

-Cheerleader!

-Shape two.

-Air guitar. Whoo!

-Sheep three.

Rocket.

-Shape four.

-Funky chicken.

-Shape five.

-Erm, I can't remember.

Cossack!

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

OK, Alice. Here comes your sequence.

'The Cossack.

'The rocket.

'The funky chicken.

'Air guitar.

'The cheerleader.'

So if you're ready, shape one.

-Cossack!

-Shape two.

Rocket.

Shape three.

Funky chicken.

Shape four.

-Cheerleader.

-Shape five.

Air guitar.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Joanne. Here comes your sequence.

'The rocket.

'The Cossack.

'Air guitar.

'The cheerleader.

'The funky chicken.'

OK, good luck. If you're ready, shape one.

-Rocket.

-Shape two.

-Cossack!

-Shape three.

Air guitar. I've drawn a blank.

Shape four.

-Cheerleader.

-Shape five.

I can't remember it.

-Have a guess.

-Funky chicken!

LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

Unfortunately we can't count that last guess because Abi was helping.

There's one more round to play before we add the challenge points

and we can reveal which team will be playing for the Copycats Trophy.

Give it up for Alice's team. Well done.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome to the Music round.

Patrick, all you do is pick a tune and recreate it

to the person next to you,

using the world famous Copycats kazoo.

Could everybody except for Patrick put their headphones on

so you don't hear which song is being selected.

Thank you. Copycats are ready. Let's close the doors.

-Three cards, Patrick. Which one would you like?

-Green, please.

All right, right in there, mate. Have a look at that.

-Do you know that one?

-Yeah.

We are going to play it into the studio

so we can get the melody into your head.

# I whip my hair back and forth

# I whip my hair back and forth

# I whip my hair back and forth

# I whip my hair back and forth

# I whip my hair back and forth. #

I don't know how she does that.

All right, best of luck, Patrick.

Ready, steady, play.

PATRICK PLAYS MELODY

OK, James.

JAMES PLAYS IN HIGHER KEY

Go on, Noel.

NOEL PLAYS ALTERED MELODY

Come on, Alex.

Longest ten seconds ever. Go on, Ruth.

LAUGHTER

-Stop playing!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

For a maximum of 50 points, what's the answer?

-It has to be Poker Face.

-It is not Poker Face.

Let's open the door for 40 points. Ruth.

Don't Stop Believing.

Great song but it's the wrong song. Let's open the door. 30 points.

Alex, any idea?

-I Need a Dollar.

-It's not I Need a Dollar.

Open the door for 20 points. Noel.

-Born this way?

-It is not, I'm afraid.

Open the door. We're playing for a minimum of 10 points. James?

-Erm, the Flood?

-It is not the Flood. Patrick?

-Whip my Hair Back and Forth.

-Let's have a listen.

# I whip my hair back and forth

# I whip my hair back and forth

# I whip my hair back and forth. #

By Willow Smith.

Unfortunately, you don't get any points but well done.

Great playing.

Give them a round of applause. Loved it!

Alice, we've got two cards left. Which one would you like? Purple.

Purple, yeah.

-Do you know that song?

-Yeah.

We're playing it so have a listen,

get the melody in your head.

# You only get one shot

# So make it count

# You might never get this moment again

# The clock is ticking down... #

OK, the best of luck, Alice. You've got 10 seconds. Ready, steady, play.

ALICE PLAYS THE MELODY

Go on.

REPEATS THE SAME PHRASE

Caroline.

Luke.

Ha-ha! Abby, your turn.

Time's up. Stop playing.

Abi, for a maximum of 50 points, what do you reckon the answer is?

Bounce.

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

Abby, what do you reckon Luke was playing?

-Friday Night by Katy Perry?

-It's not.

We're playing for 30 points. Luke.

-I Need a Dollar?

-It's not.

We're playing for 20 points. Caroline.

-Rihanna, The Only Girl in the World.

-It's not, unfortunately,

We're playing for the minimum of 10 points.

-Alice did a cracking job.

-Is it, erm, On the Floor?

It's not, unfortunately.

-Alice, do you want to tell everybody?

-One Shot.

-By JLS. Let's hear it.

# You only get one shot

# So make it count

# You might never get this moment again. #

You don't get points in this round but it was entertaining.

Give them a round of applause.

'After three rounds, Alice's team have no points

'and James's team have 40 points.'

OK, one team scored absolutely nothing in the Pass It On rounds

and the other team didn't do too well either.

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

Which team beat the bounce

and which team have a one-way ticket to the ballroom?

It's tense. The wait is over.

I can reveal that one team got 90 points in the challenge...

..a very good score.

I can also reveal that one team got 100 points.

AUDIENCE: Whoo!

Which means the team going through to the copycat ballroom

and playing for the trophy is...

..James's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, guys.

Commiserations to Alice's team.

Listen, yeah, you didn't do very well in the Pass It On rounds

but you have been absolutely amazing.

Give it up for Alice's team, everybody.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, James's team. Well done.

You've made it this far

and now it is time to compete for the fabulous, limited edition,

shiny, springy thing that I hold in my hand, the Copycats Trophy.

AUDIENCE: Whoo!

Here is the ballroom. James, who have you chosen to play the ballroom?

I've chosen my two friends, Patrick and Alex and my Uncle David,

because they are good at catching.

That is what we need in this game.

Before we open the doors, let's have a look at what you have to do to win.

'The Ball Room.

'Players must collect 25 green balls

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

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

-'Good luck.'

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

If you are ready, in three, two, one,

BLAST THE BALLS!

'Left to right, it's Patrick and Alex, James's friends,

'and David, James's uncle, chosen because they're good at catching.

'We're about to find out how good they are.

'25 green balls, please.

'They've got to go inside the scoring cylinder.

'Don't let them drop into the ballroom.

'They've all got to be green ones.

'Any rogue coloured balls will be deducted.

'As quickly as you can.

'That's better. Now we're beginning to score. 15 seconds left.

'Quickly as you can. That's good.

'They're beginning to mount up. Is that a yellow one going in?

'It can't be. Let's check. It is.

KLAXON SOUNDS

Unfortunately, guys,

a rogue yellow ball went in

so we have to deduct that from your final total.

The balls have been counted and the result checked and verified.

Be needed 25 green balls to win the trophy.

I can reveal you collected...

..13 green balls.

Sorry, guys.

That means unfortunately, you won't get your hands on the trophy.

But, and it is a big but,

we're going to give you some Copycats T-shirts.

-Have you enjoyed yourself?

-Yeah.

-You've been a wonderful team.

Give it up for James's team, everyone. Nice work.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-It's all over, mate.

-No!

-The show is all over.

I'm going to put this back in the safe

and see you next time on Copycats. Goodbye!
