Episode 17 Copycats

.

'Welcome to Copycats with your hosts Sam and Mark.

'And today's Copycats are -

'Conor's team from County Down,

'and Steven's team from County Durham.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello! And welcome to Copycats, the gameshow where copying is good.

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

the better you are at copying the more points you're going to get.

The team with the most points at the end of the show will play for

the new and improved - but don't worry,

it's still bingy-boingy - Copycats trophy.

-Shall we meet tonight's teams?

-Let's meet them!

Over here we've got Steven's team. How you doing, guys? All right?

ALL: Yeah!

I love it! I love it! All right! Passionate, I love it!

Steven, introduce the rest of your team?

Start off with Niamh, she's one of my friends.

Jack's my other friend. This is Paul, my dad,

David, my cousin, and Kerry, a family friend.

Brilliant. Can I just ask, are you going to win today?

ALL: YEAH!

Because he's proper Smuggy McSmuggerson.

Give it up for Steven's team, everyone. Best of luck.

Interesting. Over here we've got Conor's team.

Are you all right? Wahey!

Conor, introduce the rest of the team.

This is my friend Ryan, and this is my sister's friend Kelsie.

This is my Auntie Karen or, as we call her, Auntie La-La.

-And this is my mum Naiomh and my dad Pat.

-Excellent.

Lovely to have you here. Guys, we have some trash talk from over there.

-Are you going to win it for me?

-YES! YEAH!

I like that! Pat, you can shout, man! I like it!

The best of luck for today. Give it up for Conor's team, everybody.

A feisty bunch tonight. I like it! Argh!

It looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

As with every game, the teams will take turns

to copy pictures, actions and displays of musical genius.

In order to get as many points as possible, each team

will take turns to face the Copycats challenge.

We tossed a coin before the show, and Steven's team will play first.

Let's play Copycats.

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

It's time to play Quick On The Draw.

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

then you'll have ten seconds to draw

what is on that card for the player next to you, which is Jack,

then so on down the line.

There's a maximum of 50 points to win in this round,

whereas, if you pass it back down the line, you lose 10 points

-for every wrong answer. Ready?

-Yeah!

OK, let's close the doors.

Niamh, I've got three cards here. Which one would you like?

Green to match your top. Have a look at that.

Got that? All right.

Best of luck, Niamh.

Ready, steady, draw. Open the door.

Excellent.

Ten seconds is not a long time. Try to get as much detail as possible.

OK, Paul, your go.

HE MOUTHS

OK, David.

OK, Kerry, your turn.

OK, stop drawing.

All right.

Steven, for a maximum 50 points, what is it?

-A sunflower.

-Yes!

We have got some budding artists! That's brilliant, brilliant copying.

Congratulations, you get the maximum 50 points. Well done!

OK, Ryan, pick a card. The orange one. Take a look, mate.

Reckon you can draw that? OK, best of luck. You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, draw.

OK, Naiomh, your turn.

Ten seconds is not a long time.

Kelsie.

OK, Karen.

Pat, your turn.

Time's up, stop drawing.

Wow.

Conor, good luck with this, mate.

For 50 points, what do you think the answer is?

-Was it Mickey Mouse?

-Nice thinking. Nice thinking, actually.

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

Open the door, please. Pat, what do you reckon the answer is?

A bunny rabbit.

It's not a bunny rabbit. I see where you're going.

We're playing for 30 points. Karen, what do you think?

-An apple?

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

-Kelsie.

-A donkey?

-A donkey, ooh!

Close, but it's not, which means we're playing for ten points.

-Naoimh, what do you think it is?

-I think it might be a zebra?

Yes!

Nice work!

I've got to say, that was quite a difficult one.

10 points are better than none. Well done!

Give them a round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So after Quick On The Draw, are Steven's team taking first place

in the Chelsea Flower Show?

Have Conor's team earned their stripes?

The scores, Mr D, what could they be?

'Well, Sam, after Quick On The Draw, Conor's team have 10 points,

'and Steven's team have 50 points.'

Still all to play for. The next round will test our teams' skill,

nerve and determination. Yeah! The game just got serious,

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

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

My team, so that you don't see what's in store,

we're sending you off, but you'll be back. We'll see you later.

-Bye, Conor's team.

-Bye!

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

to face the awesome Copycats Challenge.

Before you do, let's find out what's in store. Mr D, tell us.

'The Square. 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 rewarded for every green light.'

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

'12 white lights on the square. Let's see how many

'we can turn green as the ball passes over them.'

'Come on, guys, work together as a team.

'Quickly as you can. "Corner, corner, corner."

'Nowhere near the corner, what are you talking about?

'That's it. Back off and the ball will go forward.

'That's one!

'There's team captain Steven,

'Steven's friend Jack - there's another.

'Steven's dad Paul. Tilting as best they can.

'Now it's beginning to move, they're working together as a team.

'That's it, there's another one.

'That's better, now you're moving together as a team, look.

'Before you were all over the place. 50 seconds left.

'You've got three at the moment. Now, where are you going to go?

'That's it. Yes, good.

-'Now go for the one above that.'

-Urgh!

'"Urgh!" A bit of anger there!

'And a lot of encouragement from the team, indicating which way to go.

'I think they're right, you know.

'That's another one.

'Five. Just under 30 seconds.

'And it's Paul who's guiding operations on The Square itself.

'A bit like a maze, this. Is that another one? Yes, it is.

'Good, good, good.

Corner, corner, corner!

'"Corner, corner, corner!"

'That's it. Yes!'

Keep going, you're doing well.

'Come on as many as you can in the time.

'Seconds away, come on! Quickly!'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

There was some great teamwork there. Well done.

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

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

The points from this challenge can make all the difference

because a dream ticket to the ballroom is at stake.

Give it up for Steven's team.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back to the game, Conor's team.

Let's play Mime Time. Conor, I've got three cards in my hand. Pick one,

you'll then have ten seconds to mime whatever is on that card

to the person next to you,

which is Ryan, and so on down the line.

Remember we're looking for silent performances.

There's 50 points to be won, but you'll lose 10 points

for every incorrect answer coming back down the line.

-Do you understand?

-YES!

-Are you ready?

-YES!

In that case, let's close the doors.

Conor, three cards, pick one.

Er...

Reckon you can... SAM LAUGHS

-Reckon you can do it?

-Yeah!

-Awesome.

The best of luck. You've got ten seconds. Ready, steady, mime.

Legend! Ryan, your turn.

Nice work. Kelsie, your turn.

OK, Naiomh, your turn.

I can't wait for this. Go on, Pat.

Yeah! All right!

Time's up, stop miming. Very good.

Very good.

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

Dancing with headphones on?

It's not, which means we're playing for 40 points. Open the door, please.

-Pat, any idea?

-Just think it's dancing.

-We need to be slightly more specific.

-Disco dancing.

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

Open the door, please. Naoimh.

-Listening to headphones?

-It's not,

which means we're playing for 20 points. Kelsie.

-Belly dancing?

-Yeah!

Well done, guys, you get yourselves 20 points.

Lovely Kerry, I've got two cards, which one would you like?

She's gone for the purple.

-Got that?

-Yeah.

-All right.

The best of luck. It's not that bad, honest.

Best of luck. Ready, steady, mime. Open the door.

OK, Paul, your turn, mate.

OK, Niamh.

All right, your turn, David.

OK, Steven.

OK, stop miming.

Very, very good miming all the way down the line.

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

-Frying eggs?

-It is not frying eggs. Let's open the door.

-For 40 points, Steven?

-Was it flipping a pancake?

Yeah!

So close. There was a frying pan involved somewhere,

you were throwing it up there! Fantastic.

Steven's team, 40 points, well done.

So, after Mime Time, are Conor's team

going to be rocking out the belly dance at the Ball Room?

Ho-lalala-leya!

Wow! Or will Steven's team flip their way to the lead?

For those all-important scores, Mr D, what could they be?

Never do that again! Ever!

'Well, Mark, after Mime Time, Conor's team have 30 points,

'and Steven's team have 90 points.'

It's time to get serious once again.

Conor's team are to face the Copycats Challenge.

Conor, it's now your chance to get some crucial points.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

-They are, I can see it in their eyeballs.

Steven's team, it's time for you to leave, off you go, see you later.

-Say goodbye to Steven's team, everyone.

-Bye!

-Miss them already.

-Yep.

Conor, as captain, you need to select three people

to face the awesome Copycats Challenge.

But first, let's see what's in store for you. Mr D, over to thee.

'The Square.

'As before, the square contains 36 lights.

'12 will illuminate white.

'Players tilt the square to guide the ball over those lights

'to turn them green.

'10 points are awarded for every green light.'

OK, team, the best of luck. In three, two, one, tilt.

'So joining Conor tilting the square are Conor's mother Naoimh,

'and Conor's friend Kelsie.

'Back, back, back, says Naoimh.

'And they really are moving around the square.

'Look at that, they've got one already! Wow.

'Working together as a team. Back, back, back! Careful!

'Don't fall off, Conor, whatever you do. Get back on.

'Excellent. That's another one, three!

'Just over a minute. Plenty of advice being offered

'from the rest of the team. They are doing well, absolutely.

'That's another one! Wow.

'They're working together well as a team.

'The ball is moving exactly where they want it to go,

'they're going round the maze that is The Square.

'Those little barriers are there.

'They make it more tricky, but in fact, they are doing well.

'And straight over another one. Excellent. Come on, Conor, keep up.

'That's it.

'Now, where's the ball going? Bring it towards you.

'That's another one, yes, excellent. Begging for that one.

'They really are doing well! 20 seconds, see how many you can get.

'You've got eight already. That's another one, excellent.

'Can we collect one more?

'Yes, we can!

'Come on, time for another, see if you can do it.

'Come on, come on, come on! Quickly, time is running out... Oh!'

Very good! That was great!

You did really well there, guys, well done.

Only one more round to play

before we add those points to your total,

and we can reveal which team plays for the Copycats trophy.

Give it up for Conor's team, everybody.

CHEERING

Welcome back, Steven's team. This is the Music Round.

All you do is pick a well-known tune and then recreate it

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

Could everybody except for David please put their headphones on?

So you do not hear which song has been selected, thank you.

They've all got them on, all bopping away.

Our Copycats look ready, let's close the doors.

Three cards, which one do you want? Purple, have a look at that.

-Yeah, you know that?

-Yeah!

-A nervous laugh. OK.

We are going to play it here

so you can get the melody in your head, have a listen.

# Today I don't feel like doing anything

# I just want to lay in my bed... #

-You got that in your head, David?

-Yeah.

-Best of luck, mate.

Ready, steady, play, open the door.

OK, Jack, your turn.

OK, nice!

OK, Paul, your turn.

HE PLAYS TUNE VERY BADLY

LAUGHTER

HE LAUGHS

Amazing! Go on, Kerry.

OK, stop playing.

Yes!

It never fails to disappoint, does it?

For a maximum of 50 points, Niamh, what's the answer I've got my card?

Um, it's a wild guess but Price Tag by Jessie J?

It is not Price Tag. Let's open the door for 40 points.

Kerry? This is where it got weird.

-Waterloo!

-Great song, great band, but not the right answer.

-OK, let's open the door, 30 points, Paul, come on.

-Um...

-Take That, Greatest Day.

-Great song, mate, but it's not.

-I wish it was.

-So do I!

-Great band.

Open the door, 20 points. Steven, you know this.

-The Lazy Song.

-Yes!

# Today I don't feel like doing anything... #

Paul's just gone, "What's that?"

Bruno Mars, of course, The Lazy Song.

From the middle, you were fantastic that way. That way, not so good!

But you did get 20 points, well done.

CHEERING

-OK, pick a card.

-This one here.

-The green one, take a look.

-Do you know that song?

-Kind of.

Don't worry, we're going to play it, so have a listen

and get the melody in your head. Let's have a listen.

# We could have had it all

# Rolling in the deep

# You had my heart and soul... #

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

Perfect!

Very good!

Nice work. Karen.

OK, Ryan, your turn.

Time's up, very good! Very good!

That was amazing copying!

I've got to say, the Music Round is quite possibly the toughest round

in gameshow history. That was amazing, a very musical team.

Kelsie, for 50 points, what's the answer?

-Rolling In The Deep by Adele.

-Yes!

# We could have had it all... #

-Wow!

-# Rolling in the deep... #

Guys, well done. You needed that, that was great.

You get the full 50 points.

I think things are about to get very interesting. Well done!

'Right, so, after three rounds, Conor's team have 80 points.

'And Steven's team have 110 points.'

OK. Strong performances from both teams in the pass it on rounds.

We still have to reveal the scores from the Copycats Challenge.

-Which team smashed The Square?

-Dahhh!

-Yeah!

-And which team are shimmying to the Ball Room?

-The wait is over.

I can reveal that one team got 100 points in the challenge.

I can also reveal that one team got 70 points.

Which means...

..we have a tie-break situation on our hands, people!

It's very tense here in the studio. Here's what will happen.

Mark will mime something, and our team captains

will then have 10 seconds to write down their answer.

The team with the answer closest to the one that I have on my card

will go on to play for the Copycats trophy.

-Not just yet. No conferring, teams. Do you understand?

-Yes.

-OK, here we go, Mark?

-Yeah, yeah, that's a good one.

-You like that?

-Yeah.

-OK. You've got 10 seconds. Watch very closely.

Your 10 seconds start now.

That's good! OK, right.

Team captains, write down your answers.

Conor, come to you first.

-What's your answer?

-I was going to say stepping on hot coal.

-Stepping on hot coals. Interesting.

-Steven, what have you put?

Bath's too hot.

The actual answer is...

running a bath which means Steven's team are closest!

CHEERING

Congratulations, guys. Commiserations to Conor's team.

We must say goodbye. Have you had a good time?

-Yeah!

-You've been brilliant.

You've been awesome, everybody give it up for Conor's team.

CHEERING

Steven'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 Copycats trophy!

AUDIENCE: Whoo!

Here is the Ball Room.

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

-Niamh, David and me.

-Excellent.

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

Arrrr!

'The Ball Room.

'Players must deposit 25 green balls in the scoring cylinder

'before the time runs out.

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

'Good luck!'

OK, guys, are you ready? Awesome. In three, two, one, blast off!

'Here we go!

'It's David, Steven, the team captain, and Niamh

'in the Ball Room trying to catch the green balls.

'They need 25, remember. This to win the Copycats Trophy.

'We've got a few in there already, which is very good news.

'Another one going in, excellent. Come on, as quickly as you can.

'Time runs out very quickly.

'Come on, Steven!

'You got to catch these whilst they're in the air, remember,

'that's how it works. You cannot pick them up from the floor.

'20 seconds. Quickly as you can. You need 25, guys. Fast as you can.

Screaming "Come on!" from outside the Ball Room.

'Inside, a flurry of activity. Another one going in there.

'Come on, time is running out.

'As many as the green ones as you can, quickly, quickly!

-'Come on, come on!'

-KLAXON

Very good. David, you showed that Ball Room who's boss!

You were like, green ball, green ball, green ball!

-Unfortunately, we can't count that last ball.

-Oh!

You put it in just as the time ran out.

But the other balls have been counted,

the results checked and verified.

You needed 25 green balls to get your hands on the trophy.

I can reveal that you collected...

..33 green balls!

CHEERING

-Hold it aloft like a beacon of loveliness! Yes!

-Awesome.

-Steven's team, have you had a good day?

-Yeah!

-Congratulations, nice one.

-I can't believe it's over.

-I know, that's the end of the show.

We'll be back, we'll see you next time on Copycats. Bye!
