Episode 12 Copycats

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

'And today's Copycats are -

'Ella's team from Hertfordshire

'and Nicola's team from Lancashire.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

Whether drawing, miming or playing the kazoo,

-the better you are at copying, the more points you get.

-He's right.

The team with most points at the end will get to play

for the new and improved, but still bingy-blungy,

Copycats trophy!

AUDIENCE: Ooh!

Oh, you can't beat a gold shiny trophy to capture the nation's

imagination, and show the world it's not all about mega prizes

and a life-changing trip around the world.

It's about spending time with family and friends and having a laugh.

-I'd still prefer a trip to the Caribbean.

-Shh!

Right, right, right. I digress. Shall we meet today's teams?

-Let's do it!

-Come on!

CHEERING

Ella's team, you all right?

-TEAM:

-Yes!

Lovely to have you here. Ella, introduce the team.

OK, this is Freya, my cousin. This is Rowan, my other cousin.

This is Nigel, my dad.

This is Claire, my mum, and this is Karen, my auntie.

Oh, nice! It's lovely to meet you all.

-Are you going to win it for me today? TEAM:

-Yeah!

Best of luck for today. It's Ella's team, everybody!

CHEERING

There's a good team over there, granted.

But over here we've got the best team, it's Nicola's team. Yeah!

CHEERING

Nicola, oh, yeah! The audience are with you, Nicola's team.

I'm not going to lie. Nicola, team captain,

-can you introduce the rest of your team, please?

-OK.

-I'm Nicola.

-Hello.

-This is Lucia, my friend.

-Hi.

This is Jorgi, my other friend. This is Karl, Jorgi's dad.

-Hi.

-How are you doing?

-This is my mum.

-Hi!

-Kay.

-This is Leanne, a family friend.

-Hi!

Awesome! Well, best of luck. Give it up for Nicola's team, everyone!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

The teams will take it in turns

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.

We tossed a coin before the show which told us

that Nicola's team, my team, will be playing first. Let's play Copycats!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

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

Leanne, I've got three cards. You're going to pick a card.

You have ten seconds to draw what's on that card for the next player.

-And so on and so on down the line. Do you understand?

-Yes.

-Fantastic.

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

but as we pass it back, you lose ten points for every wrong answer.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-TEAM: Yes!

In that case, let's close the doors!

CHEERING

Purple, orange or green. Which one would you like?

I'd like orange, please.

-Orange? Have a look at that.

-Thank you.

-OK.

-You got that?

Yes.

Yes! The best of luck. Leanne, ready, steady, draw!

Now, Lucia.

OK, Nicola.

OK, Karl.

OK, Kay.

Stop drawing!

CHEERING

For a maximum of 50 points, Jorgi, what have I got on my card?

-Is it a boat?

-It is not a boat.

OK, let's open the doors. For 40 points, Kay?

Is it a tunnel?

It is not a tunnel. OK, let's open the door. Karl?

-Is it a picture of a lady?

-It is not a picture of a lady.

OK, let's open the door.

Is it a monster? And forgot the eyes?

It is not a monster without any eyes. A cracking guess, though!

OK, Lucia, what we looking for?

Is it somebody swimming?

You're going to have to be more specific,

so, Leanne, go on, give us...

It's an armband, for swimming.

It's an armband! Really, really difficult, that one, actually.

Really tricky. Unfortunately, Nicola's team, you get no points.

Give them a round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Karen, we have two cards left. Green or purple?

-Green, please.

-Take a look.

-Thank you.

-Can you draw that?

-Hope... possibly.

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

Ready, steady, draw!

OK, Rowan.

Not bad.

OK, Nigel. Your turn.

Claire.

OK, Ella. Your turn.

Time's up! Stop drawing.

CHEERING

OK.

So, for a maximum of 50 points,

Freya, what's the answer we're looking for?

Is it a rocket ship?

Yes!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done. You get maximum points. 50 points!

-TEAM:

-Yeah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So after Quick On The Draw, are Nicola's team still trying

to get their 25-metre swimming badge?

And was Ella's team performance out of this world?

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

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

'and Nicola's team have no points.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Still a long way to go, don't worry!

-Early days.

-See how nice I am to your team?

-Shut up!

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

The game got serious, because this is the Copycats Challenge!

Because my team won the toss, they will be going first.

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

we're going to send you off. Go and get some juice,

-or a tea or a coffee, whatever. See you later.

-Bye!

-Mmm, I fancy a juice.

-OK. Now, Nicola.

As team captain you now need to select three people to face

the awesome Copycats Challenge.

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

'The Square. The Square contains 36 lights.

'Twelve 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 AND APPLAUSE

In three, two, one... Tilt!

'Off we go, then.

'Now, got to act as a team, talk to each other.

'Have a plan. It looks as though they have,

'they're grouped together to make that ball move.

'Excellent. One already. Come on, come on, come on!

'Now we're moving in to make that ball move in a particular direction.

'That's it, go back so that you pick up that one.

'That goes green as well. That's good. Good move.

MR D LAUGHS

'Karl's holding on to them.

'Nicola, Lucia, helping Karl to move that ball around.

'There's another one. 55 seconds left.

'So you go to the other side of The Square,

'make it tilt, and look! The ball moves.

'Down, and then across to pick up the next white one if we can.

'And we can, that's good!

'And the next one. Bottom of The Square. 38 seconds.

'Time flying by.

MR D LAUGHS

'Karl is hurling Nicola and Lucia around The Square, but it's working.

'That's the point. It's working. And there's another one. Excellent.

'Stay together as a group.

'Combine your body weight and use it in your favour.

'And another one! Wow, we are scoring.

-'And there's another!'

-Come on!

'Oh, this is very good.

'This is how to play this game, folks.'

-Come on guys, still got time, still got time!

-'Time's running out.

'They've picked up another one. Can we do one more?

'Quickly, quickly, quickly. Yes, we can!'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Guys, come back!

Fantastic! Remember, we'll add those challenge points to your total

after the music round.

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

The points from the challenges could make all the difference,

because a dream ticket to the Ballroom is at stake.

Give it up one more time for Nicola's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

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

ten seconds to mime what's on the card

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

But remember, we're looking for silent performances.

There is a maximum of 50 points. As with every pass-it-on game,

you lose ten points for every incorrect answer.

-Copycats, are you ready? TEAM:

-Yes!

Awesome. Let's close the doors.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Freya, I've got three cards. Which would you like?

-Orange.

-Orange.

Take a look.

-Reckon you could do that?

-Yeah.

OK, you've got ten seconds. The best of luck. Ready, steady, mime!

Not bad, not bad!

OK, Rowan. Your turn, mate.

OK, Karen.

Oh, time to spare! I like it! Nigel.

Time's up!

CHEERING

OK, Ella-baby, chips and gravy,

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

Is it throwing something out of a cup and catching it again?

It did look like that, but that's not the answer,

which means we're playing for 40 points.

Nigel-baby, chips and gravy, any idea of the answer?

Throwing a ball up, serving for tennis.

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

Lovely Karen, any idea?

-I think Rowan was playing badminton.

-It's wrong, I'm afraid. It's wrong,

which means we're playing for twenty points. Rowan.

Playing rugby.

Yes-s-s!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Whoo!

Well done, guys! You get yourselves 20 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Nicola. I have a purple or a green. Which one would you like?

-Purple, please.

-Purple. Have a look at that.

-You got that?

-Yeah.

All right, the best of luck. Ready, steady, mime!

Let's open the door.

OK, Kay.

OK, Jorgi.

OK, Karl. I can't wait for this! There we go.

LAUGHTER

Right, Lucia.

Stop miming!

CHEERING

Leanne, for 50 points, what's the answer I've got on my card?

Were they towelling themselves off after going swimming?

Good guess, but it's wrong, I'm afraid. Let's open the door

for 40 points.

Is he surfing?

-It's not surfing. OK, 30 points.

-Belly-dancing.

It's very close. But it's the wrong answer.

Let's open the door. For 20 points, Jorgi, come on.

Shimmying dancing?

Shimmying dancing, no. No, it wasn't.

-For the minimum, what are we looking for?

-Disco dancing?

It's not. It is...

-Salsa Spanish dancing.

-Yeah!

-GROANING

-Aww.

-Oh, I'm sorry!

-It's all right!

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

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So after Mime Time, are Ella's team tackling the Ballroom head on?

And do Nicola's team have two left feet?

Let's find out those all-important scores. Mr D, what could they be?

'Well, Mark, after Mime Time, Ella's team have 70 points

'and Nicola's team still have no points.'

OK. It's starting to get serious once again,

because Ella's team are about to face the Copycats Challenge.

Earlier in the show, Nicola's team built up a pile of those

all-important points. But did they do enough?

-Only time will tell.

-Ella, it's your chance to add some crucial points

to your overall score. Are you ready?

-TEAM:

-Yes!

Yes!

OK. Nicola's team,

it's time for you to leave, but you are coming back.

Say goodbye to Nicola's team for now.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Single file, just follow. OK, remember,

the results of the challenges will be revealed at the end of the show,

when the extra points scored here will determine which team

-wins their tickets to the Ballroom. It's very exciting.

-It is indeed.

Ella, as team captain you need to select three people

to face the Copycats Challenge.

Before you do that, let's take a look what's in store for you.

Over to you, Mr D!

'The Square. As before,

'The Square contains 36 lights.

'Twelve will illuminate white.

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

'to turn them green.

'Ten points are awarded for every green light.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

In three, two, one... Tilt!

'So, it's Ella's mum, Ella's dad and Ella's cousin.

'All on The Square. Twelve white lights there.

'Let's turn as many of them green as we can. Come on.

'Got to act together. Use your combined body weight.

'They're sort of doing that. Acting as a group. There's our first one.

'Move quickly, though, time runs out in this game.

'There's the next one. Come back across, to make the ball move back.

'That's our second one. Very good!

'Move that ball around the maze that is The Square.

'The barriers, you see, in the way

'to make it that little bit trickier.

'Are we going to go for that one or the top one?

'We're going for the one at the top.

'They need to do it quickly, though. That's it.

'Up into the corner, and it goes green. Excellent! Good, good, good.

'Now, come on.

MR D LAUGHS

'They are talking to each other.

'Almost shouting at each other, actually. Come on!

'And there's Nigel, dragging the rest of the team across The Square.

'But it works. 30 seconds to go, come on.

'No time to lose. Come on. That's another one.

'Excellent.'

Wahey!

'Well, we're getting there. This is good.

'Score is not bad so far.

'We've got another 15 seconds left.

'Let's pick up that one there, shall we?

'Up to the top of The Square, making the ball move

'across that one, and it goes green.

'Excellent. Let's get another one, shall we? Before time runs out.

'One more. Come on, can we do it? Yes!'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, guys!

Come down here. Very good, very good! That was excellent, well done, guys!

OK, there is only one more round to play before we add those

challenge points to your total, and we can reveal

which team are going to play for the Copycats trophy.

Give it up for Ella's team, everybody. Well done!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Nicola's team.

This is the Music Round.

Now, all you have to do is pick a well-known tune, and re-create that

to the person next to you on the world-famous Copycats kazoo.

Could everybody, except for Karl, please put their headphones on?

So you do not hear which song has been selected. Thank you.

Copycats look ready.

Let's close the doors!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Karl, I have got three colours for you.

-Green, orange or purple. Which one would you like?

-Purple.

-Purple.

Have a look at that, my friend.

It's OK, cos we are going to play it into the studio,

so you can get the melody in your head.

MUSIC: "Ghostbusters" by Jedward

# Who ya gonna call?

# Ghostbusters! #

OK, Karl. The best of luck.

Ready, steady, play! Open the door.

KARL MIMICS "GHOSTBUSTERS" USING KAZOO

Well done!

LAUGHTER

OK. That was good, actually!

Stop playing!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

For a maximum of 50 points, what's the answer I'm looking for?

I don't know. I honestly don't know.

Well, we'll go on. For 40 points.

-Happy Birthday?

-Happy Birthday.

Unfortunately, that is wrong. Let's open the door.

-For 30 points, Nicola.

-Replay?

It wasn't. Let's open the door. For 20 points...

New York, Alicia Keys?

It wasn't! OK, finally, for ten points, come on!

-Pink - Let's Get The Party Started?

-No, unfortunately it's not.

-Karl, go on, tell us!

-Ghostbusters.

-Have a listen!

# If there's something strange In your neighbourhood

# Who ya gonna call? #

AUDIENCE: Ghostbusters!

Yeah! All right, stop it. Stop it, stop it!

OK, Nicola's team, unfortunately, you didn't get any points.

But we got to listen to Jedward,

which is always good fun! Give them a round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Claire, we got two tunes left. Orange or green, what would you like?

-I'll have orange, for team orange.

-Orange. Take a look.

-Thank you.

-Do you know that song?

-I do.

Oh, awesome! We're going to play it in the studio,

so you can get the melody in your head. Let's hear it.

MUSIC: "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga

# Just dance Spin that record, babe

# Da-da, doo-doo-mmm

# Just dance Gonna be OK #

-Awesome. The best of luck.

-Thank you.

-Ten seconds... Ready, steady, play!

CLAIRE MIMICS "JUST DANCE" USING KAZOO

Wow, brilliant!

OK, Freya.

OK, Nigel.

LAUGHTER

Ella, go!

Time's up. Stop playing!

CHEERING

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

-Is it Barbra Streisand?

-Big fan, are you?

-No!

-It's not Barbra Streisand,

which means we're playing for 40 points.

Is it Toxic?

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

I think it was Club Tropicana.

It's not, which means we're playing for 20 points.

Is it Amarillo?

It's not Amarillo, which means we're playing for the minimum

-of ten points.

-Is it Hot Stuff?

-No! It's not.

Claire, go on, tell us.

-It was Just Dance - Lady Gaga.

-Let's hear it!

# Just dance Gonna be OK

# Da-da, doo-doo-mmm

# Just dance Spin that record, babe

# Da-da, doo-doo-mmm Just dance... #

Unfortunately, you don't get any points,

but give them a round of applause anyway!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'OK, so after three rounds, Ella's team have 70 points

'and Nicola's team have no points.'

OK. Mixed fortunes for the teams in the pass-it-on games,

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

Which team smashed The Square? Which team are shimmying to the Ballroom?

The wait is over. I can reveal that one team got...

70 points in the challenge.

AUDIENCE: Ooh!

Not bad at all.

I can also reveal that one team got...

..100 points.

AUDIENCE: Ooh!

Interesting!

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ballroom

and playing for the trophy is...

..Ella's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, I'm afraid that means we have to say goodbye to Nicola's team.

-Guys, have you enjoyed yourselves? TEAM:

-Yes.

Good. You've been a brilliant team.

Give it up one more time for Nicola's team, everyone!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Ella's team. You've 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 Copycats trophy!

AUDIENCE: Whoo!

Yeah!

Here is the Ballroom.

-Ella, who have you chosen to play the Ballroom?

-I've chosen me, Rowan

and my mum, because we're all really sporty

-and we know we're going to get 25 green balls and win.

-Yes!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It looks like you don't need to know how to win this,

but we're going to show everybody at home. Take a look at this.

'The Ballroom.

'Players must collect 25 green balls

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

'Any rogue balls collected will be deducted from the total. Good luck!'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

ALL: Blast the balls!

'Left to right - it's Ella, the team captain, Claire, Ella's mum,

'and Rowan, Ella's cousin.

'All three were chosen as they're sporty.

'Let's find out if they are. Can they catch the green balls?

'Well, there's one going in. That's good news.

'25 green balls they need in that scoring cylinder,

'to win the Copycats trophy.

'Come on! There was one there... Yeah, that's one!

'She puts it in. Well done.

'Come on, quickly as you can. Don't just stand around there!

'Time is running out. You've only got 20 seconds, guys!

'Get as many of those green balls in the scoring cylinder as you can.

'There's no point juggling them!

'That's it! There's another one. Good, excellent.

'Come on, you're running out of time. Eight seconds.

'Green ones, green ones! We need them going through that hole

'and into the scoring cylinder.

'Come on, come on, come on! That's one!'

HORN BLOWS

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK. Ella's team, the balls have been counted,

and the result has been checked and verified.

You needed 25 green balls to win the trophy.

I can reveal that you collected...

-..16 green balls.

-Aww, unlucky!

Unfortunately, you're not going to get your hands on the trophy.

But I tell you something, I'm going to give you

-some Copycats T-shirts.

-Yeah!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Ella's team, you had a good time?

-TEAM: Yes!

It's been great to have you on the show.

Give it up for Ella's team, everyone.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-I'm afraid that is the end of the show.

-No!

Look at the sad faces!

Aww, aww! Eh, but don't worry, turn them frowns upside down,

because we'll be back next time on Copycats. Bye!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
