Episode 2 Copycats

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

'And today's Copycats are,

'Marlene's team from Gateshead

'and Bernie's team from Wrexham.'

Hello! Welcome to Copycats, the game show where, unlike an exam,

copying the person next to you is positively encouraged, in fact,

it could win you the ultimate money-can't-buy prize.

You can forget Olympic gold, silver and bronze, coming first

at school sport's day, even my NVQ level 1 in catering and hospitality.

-No!

-Yes! Because today's teams will be playing for the greatest prize

in game show history, it's the Copycats Trophy!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Shall we meet today's Copycats?

-Let's do it!

-Over here we've got Marlene's team, you all right!

-Yes!

Marlene, team captain, introduce the gang for us.

This is my team, my brother Thierry, my best friend, Amy,

my sister, Martine, my mum, Claudia,

-and my friend's mum, Rachel.

-It's lovely to have you all.

Are you excited to be here?

-Yes!

-More importantly, are you going to win this for me today?

-Yes!

-That's all I need to know.

Everybody, please give it up for Marlene's team!

APPLAUSE

Marlene's team look confident,

what about Bernie's team, you confident?

-Yes!

-That's what I like to hear.

Bernie, team captain, introduce the rest of your team, please.

This is my friend, Rebecca, and my other friend, Anya.

Rian is Anya's mum, Rob, my singing, dancing and acting teacher,

and Jane, my mum.

-It's lovely to have you here, are you going to win it for me?

-Yes.

Oh, I hope so. Give it up for Bernie's team, everyone.

CHEERING

Our teams are ready to start copying.

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

to copy pictures, actions and displays of musical genius.

For more points, the teams take turns with the Copycats challenge later on.

The coin has been tossed. Bernie's team are going to be playing first.

Let's play Copycats!

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

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

Rian, I've got three cards, you're going to pick one then

you've got 10 seconds to draw what is on the card for the player next

to you, and so on down the line.

-You good at drawing?

-Think so!

-We're going to find out.

There is a maximum of 50 points to be won in this round

but as we pass it back done the line you lose 10 of those points

-for every incorrect answer. Ready?

-Yes!

-Let's close the doors!

I've got three cards, which one would you like?

-Purple? Got that?

-Yeah.

-Confident, I like that.

Best of luck. Ready, steady, draw!

Anya.

OK, Rob.

Try and use all the 10 seconds to get as much detail as possible.

OK, Rebecca.

Good luck, Bernie.

Stop drawing!

Jane, for the maximum 50 points,

any idea the answer I've got on the card?

Is it a cat?

I think that's what Bernie's drawn but it's not the answer.

Let's open the door. Bernie, 40 points.

-Is it a rabbit?

-It is not.

Let's open the door, Rebecca?

Is it a boat?

It is not. All great guesses.

Rob, what has Anya drawn?

Is it a sleigh?

It is not a sleigh.

Great guesses! 10 points, Anya, what's the answer?

Is it someone drinking a cup of coffee?

Let's have a look, what?

It is not. What's the answer?

It's a lawnmower.

Course it is! Unlucky.

APPLAUSE

Unfortunately, you don't get any points but give them

a round of applause! Very entertaining!

Thierry, pick a card.

-Can you draw that?

-Yeah.

-OK, mate, you got 10 seconds,

the best of luck. Ready, steady, draw!

Not bad at all. Claudia, Your turn, copy that.

Not bad. Amy, your turn.

OK, Marlene.

Martine, your turn.

Time's up! Stop drawing. Lovely drawings.

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

A hot-air balloon.

It does look like that but that's not the answer. Which means

we're playing for 40 points. Martine, what do you think it is?

A parachute?

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

Marlene, what do you reckon?

A type of plant?

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

Is it some sort of peanut?

Nice thinking! It's not,

which means you're playing for the minimum of ten points.

Claudia, take a look at Thierry's drawing, what do you reckon it is?

-A mushroom?

-Nice thinking! It's not, this was quite a difficult one.

Thierry, you did a good job, do you want to tell everybody?

-It's a seashell.

-A seashell!

APPLAUSE

Mushroom, peanut, hot-air balloon,

unfortunately you don't get any points in this first round

but we were all entertained. Give them a round of applause!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That was Quick On The Draw.

Bernie's team discovered the lawnmower dance.

Nice! And are Marlene's team heading for the ballroom or are they selling

sea shells by the sea shore that she saw sells?

LAUGHTER

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

'Mark, after Quick On The Draw, Marlene's team have no points,

'and Bernie's team also have no points.'

-Yeah! Positive mental attitude!

-It's close!

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 be going first.

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

we're going to send you off, but don't worry, you'll be coming back.

See you later, Marlene's team. Bye!

-Go on.

-Put your feet up, relax, have a rest.

Bernie, as team captain, you now need to select three people

to face the awesome Copycats Challenge,

but before you, do let's find out what's in store.

Mr D, what could it be?

'The Drop. An image of a coloured rod will be displayed on the screen.

'Players must remove the corresponding rod

'while trying to avoid any of the balls dropping.

'10 points are awarded for every rod pulled out,

'but 10 points will be deducted for any ball that falls.'

Best of luck. In three, two, one. Pull!

Which have we got? Red first.

'It is red for Bernie... starting us off.

'Gently does it, Bernie, that's it, well done.

'Next yellow, for Anya, Bernie's friend.

'Gently does it, that's it.

'Next, black for Rian, Anya's mum.

'Concentration on her face there. Well done.

'Next, Bernie, the team captain, again.

'Yellow, excellent!

'Red for Anya. Oh, gosh!

'There are plenty of them, come on. Choose one!

'Looking for advice.

'You can touch the rods,

'but the minute you start pulling one out, you'll have to commit.

'Complete the move. Well done. Red next, for Rian.

'Gently does it. Oh! One of the balls has fallen.

'Gently, gently! Lots falling.

'If you have more balls than rods at the end, remember, you score zero.

'It's a black one gone. Yellow one for Anya.

'Don't worry, that was a black one. It doesn't matter that

'it's gone inside. Doesn't count. It's that yellow one.

'Probably more sticking out at the other side, that's it, well done!

'Well done, Anya, got it in the end.

'Black for Rian. 10 seconds left.

'Concentrate. We don't want any more balls dropping if we can avoid it.

'It's tricky! Seconds away. Come on!'

We add those Challenge points to your score after the music round.

Marlene's team still need to face the Copycat's Challenge.

Points from the challenge could make all the difference,

cos a dream ticket to the ballroom is at stake.

Give it up for Bernie's team!

CHEERING

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

Martine, I've got three cards in my hand. Choose one, then you'll have

10 seconds to mime what is on that card to the person next to you

and so on down the line. We're looking for silent performances.

As with all Pass It On rounds, 50 points are up for grabs,

but don't forget, you lose 10 points for every wrong answer

going back down the line. Understand?

-Yes.

-Excellent? Are you ready?

-Yes!

In that case, let's close the doors!

Martine, pick a card.

The green one - take a look.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Yep.

-The best of Luck.

You've got 10 seconds. Ready, steady, mime!

OK, Marlene.

Amy.

Rachel, go for it.

Claudia, go for it.

Time's up!

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

Is it shooting a bow and arrow?

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

Playing for 40 points. Claudia, what do you reckon?

Robin Hood?

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

-Rachel.

-Putting on gloves?

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

-Washing?

-Washing?

It's not, which means we're playing for the minimum of 10 points.

It is a difficult one. Any idea what Martine was doing?

Was she throwing darts?

She wasn't. Martine, tell everybody.

Pulling a Christmas cracker.

A difficult one, but unfortunately, that means at the end of Mime Time

that you don't get any points, but give them a round of applause.

APPLAUSE

Bernie, orange or purple?

Purple.

You got that? Look confident, Bernie, I like it. Best of luck.

Ready, steady, mime. Open the door.

Very good.

HE MOUTHS

Anya?

Jane?

Rob.

Stop miming.

For the maximum of 50 points,

any idea what Rob was miming there?

Was he rocking a newborn baby?

He wasn't. You have to be very specific. Let's open the door.

Rob, for 40 points, what's the answer?

Putting a baby to sleep.

Not to sleep - so close.

Come on, guys. 30 points.

-Feeding a newborn baby?

-Yes!

What a brilliant idea putting Bernie in the first cubicle.

Fantastic, really was. You've got yourselves 30 points.

Congratulations.

So after Mime Time, has Christmas come early for Marlene's team?

Or are Bernie's team milking it? Time for the scores.

Mr D, what could they be?

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

'and Bernie's team have 30 points!'

CHEERING

-Still time.

-There is. Time to get serious once again

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

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

-Are you ready?

-Yes!

Bernie's team, time for you to leave,

but you are coming back. Say goodbye to them, everyone!

See you later. Marlene, as team captain, you now need to select

three people to face the Copycats Challenge but before

you do that, let's see what's in store for you.

-Mr D, what could it be?

-'The Drop, as before.

'An image of a coloured rod will be displayed on the screen.

'Players must remove the corresponding rod while trying

'to avoid any of the balls dropping. 10 points are awarded for every

rod pulled out. But 10 points will be deducted for any ball that falls.

Best of luck, guys. In three, two, one, pull!

'Rachel gets us underway.

'Looking for one of the red rods.

'Well done! Excellent. Confidently done.

'Marlene's sister, Martine. Looking for one of the yellow rods.

'Towards the bottom, there, she takes that one. Excellent.

'Marlene herself now. Looking for one of the black rods.

'Goes straight for that one. Well done. Good move.

Next, looking for a yellow one, Rachel, who decides on that one.

Oh, don't worry about it falling, not a problem. Doesn't count.

'Gently does it. And another one's gone in. Not a problem. Excellent.

'Red for Martine.

'Gently. Slowly... Oh!

'Three balls have fallen, don't want too many of those.

'10 points deducted for every one that does. Red for Marlene.

'Oh, another ball fallen, and another!

'Black next for Rachel. Come on, Rachel.

'Is that going to be the one? They think it should be and it is!

'Yellow, this time. For Martine, who's enjoying herself.'

This one?

'Checking with the rest of the team. It's getting more tricky now.

'It's at that point in the game. Easy does it... Oh!

'Careful, not the whole game!

'Oh. Seconds away, can we quickly do another one?'

Well done. There is only one more round to play before we add

those challenge points to your total and we can see which team are

going to be playing for the Copycats trophy.

Give it up for Marlene's team, everybody.

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

All you've got to do is pick a well-known tune then recreate

that tune for the person next to you on the world famous Copycats kazoo.

Everybody, except for Rebecca, please put your headphones on?

So you do not hear which song is being selected. Thank you.

Our Copycats seem ready. Let's close the doors.

OK, Rebecca? I've got three cards for you. Which would you like?

The orange one.

-You know that one?

-Yeah!

-Good.

We're going to play it into the studio so you can get

the melody into your head. Have a listen to this.

MUSIC: "Thriller" by Michael Jackson.

Got that in your head, Rebecca? Best of luck. Ready, steady, play!

Open the door.

SHE PLAYS TUNE

Go, Rob.

HE PLAYS TUNE

Excellent.

SHE PLAYS TUNE

OK.

SHE PLAYS TUNE

Go on, Jane.

SHE PLAYS TUNE

OK, stop playing!

Any idea of the answer on the card, Anya?

AC/DC, Thunder?

It is not! Let's open the door. Great guess, though.

-40 points, come on.

-Power, by the Saturdays?

-Oh, it's not!

Let's open the door, come on. Rian, you know this for 30 points.

-Thriller, by Michael Jackson?

-Yes!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

MUSIC: "Thriller" by Michael Jackson

Rebecca, you absolutely nailed that, fantastic.

30 points to Bernie's team!

Amy, we've got two cards left, which one would you like?

The green one. Take a look.

Do you know that song? Oh, she's happy about it.

We are gong to play it into the studio, let's hear it.

MUSIC: "Price Tag" by Jessie J

Good luck, Amy, you've got ten seconds. Ready, steady, play!

Get your headphones off!

SHE PLAYS TUNE

Good one, OK, Marlene, your turn.

SHE PLAYS TUNE

Very good.

SHE PLAYS TUNE

Awesome! Very good.

HE PLAYS TUNE

SHE PLAYS TUNE

Time's up! Time's up!

That wasn't bad! I was so into everybody playing that I didn't

realise Martine had not taken her headphones off!

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

-Doctor Who, the theme tune?

-It's not the Doctor Who theme tune.

We're playing for 40 points. Martine, any idea?

-Put Your Hands Up?

-It's not, which means we're

playing for 30 points, Thierry, I know you know this.

It Ain't About The Money, by Jessie J?

It's actually called Price Tag, but we're going to give you that.

MUSIC: "Price Tag" by Jessie J

Nice. Well done, you did really well, there, got yourselves 30 points!

'So after three rounds,

'Marlene's team have 30 points and Bernie's team have 60 points.'

Not the highest scoring Pass It On round

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

Which team destroyed The Drop?

-And which team are going all the way to the ballroom?

-The waiting's over.

I can reveal that one team got no points in The Challenge.

I can also reveal that one team got 20 points.

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ballroom

and playing for the trophy is...

..Bernie's team!

Congratulations, guys.

That means we have to say goodbye to Marlene's team

and can I just say there was only 10 points in it.

-Kick them when they're down?!

-You guys did so well in the Challenge.

-Have you had a good day?

-Yes!

-You've been awesome.

Everybody, give it up for Marlene's team!

Bernie's team, congratulations. You made it this far,

but 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!

It's gold and everything.

Guys, here is The Ballroom.

Bernie, who have you chosen to play The Ballroom?

Me, Rebecca and Rob.

Before we open the doors,

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

# Aahhh! #

'The Ballroom. 'Players must collect 25 green balls

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

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

'Good luck.'

-Good luck, guys. In three, two, one. ALL:

-Blast the balls!

'Left to right, it's Bernie, the team captain.

'Rebecca, Bernie's friend,

'and Rob, Bernie's singing, acting and dancing teacher.

'He's doing a bit of a dance in there already, as are the rest

'of the team outside giving as much encouragement as they can.

'He is dancing, I'm sure of it.

'25 green balls we need, and down the scoring cylinder if we can.

'Less than 30 seconds to go, guys, come on, quickly as you can!

'Let's watch closely here, come on. They're adding up, this is good.

'The whole Ballroom is moving, I'm sure of it!

'A lot of action... Oh, did we see a rogue ball go in there? Let's check.

'Yes! Don't forget, rogue balls will be deducted at the end of the game.

'Let's se how we get on.'

HOOTER

Good effort! Rob, you were all over the Ballroom.

Like a Ninja! Green ball, green ball!

Unfortunately, we did find this rogue orange ball

so we do have to deduct that from your final total.

The balls are being counted and the result is being checked

and verified. You needed 25 green balls to win the trophy.

I can reveal that you collected...

..24!

-Guys, I am so sorry!

-I would have given it to you.

-Did you have a good time?

-Yes!

You've been fantastic. You're not going away empty handed,

we are going to give you some Copycats T-shirts.

CHEERING

We got away! Yes!

Fantastic! Give it up for Bernie's team!

Got to lock that bad boy away again.

It's difficult to get.

-See you next time on Copycats.

-Bye!
