Episode 25 Copycats

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

'And today's Copycats are Caitlin's team from Coatbridge...

'..and Christi's team from Sutton Coldfield.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Hello!

-Hello!

-Welcome to Copycats, the game show where copying is good.

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

The team with the most points at the end of the show will get the chance

to play for the bingy-boingy Copycats trophy!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Shall we meet the teams?

-Yeah, all right!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Over here we've got Caitlin's team. You all all right?

-ALL: Yes!

Caitlin, team captain, introduce the gang.

This is Nicole and Gillian, my two friends.

This is Alison, my mum, George, my dad, and Melissa, my big sister.

-Lovely to have you here. Excited to be here?

-ALL: Yes!

-Awesome. Guys, are you going to win this for me?

-ALL: Yes!

That's all I need to know. Best of luck Caitlin's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Over here is Christi's team.

Christi, team captain, introduce the gang.

These are my friends Victoria and Cameron,

this is my mum, Debbie, this is Cameron's dad, Paul,

and this is Victoria's mum, Lesley.

Lovely to have you here. Are you excited? ALL: Yes!

Up for the challenge? ALL: Yes! Yay! Come on, bring it on!

OK, give it up for Christi's team, everyone. Good luck.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It's going to be good. I feel it in my bones.

They're ready to start copying.

The teams 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.

We tossed a coin which said Christi's team will play first.

Let's play Copycats. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

It's time to play Quick On The Draw.

I've got three cards in my hand, you're going to pick one.

You'll have ten seconds to draw whatever's on the card

-for the next player, and so on. Any good at drawing, Paul?

-No.

-Brilliant.

There's a maximum of 50 points in this round, but as you pass down,

you lose 10 points for every incorrect answer. Understand?

-Certainly do.

-All right. Are you ready? ALL: Yes!

All right, let's close the doors. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-You can't be that bad, Paul, surely.

-I'm certainly not.

-Ha ha! OK.

-I think I'll go for orange.

-Look at that.

-OK.

-Yeah? Think you can draw that?

-I think I can manage.

Best of luck, Paul, ready, steady, draw. Open the doors.

Go, Cameron.

That's good. Copy it, Christi, your turn.

OK, Lesley, your turn.

Debbie, up to you. Ooh, watch that door.

OK, stop drawing.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well, it did evolve. Let's find out how much.

For 50 points, what's the answer on my card?

-Um, is it a pram?

-It is not a pram.

Let's open the door. Debbie, look at Lesley's drawing.

-What is it?

-A shopping trolley.

It is not a shopping trolley. Let's open the door.

-Is it a wheelbarrow?

-It IS a wheelbarrow!

Well done! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

30 points, nice work, that was good. It was the extra wheel!

All we needed was a baby at the end! HE LAUGHS

But you get yourselves off the mark, well done,

Christi's team, you get 30 points, well done. Nice work.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-OK, Gillian, pick a card.

-Um...

-The purple one, take a look.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Yeah.

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

Not bad. Caitlin, your turn.

Nicole.

George.

Melissa, your turn.

Time's up, stop drawing.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-HE LAUGHS

-Interesting!

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

-A walking doughnut?

-LAUGHTER

Best answer ever. It's not, so we're playing for 40 points.

-Melissa, what do you reckon?

-Is it an Eskimo?

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

-Uh... A snowman?

-It's not, so we're playing for 20 points.

-Nicole.

-Is it a lollipop?

It's not a lollipop,

which means we're playing for the minimum of 10 points. Caitlin?

-Is it... A spinning wheel?

-It's not.

-Gillian, do you want to tell us?

-It was, like, a rose.

-A rose.

It wasn't like a rose, it was a rose!

Oh, that's quite a tough one. So at the end of Quick On The Draw,

you don't get any points, but don't worry, it's only the first round.

Still a long way to go. Give them a round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, so, after Quick On The Draw,

was that a "wheely" good performance from Christi's team? Thank you.

-Nice.

-And was that round a thorn in the side for Caitlin's team?

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

'Caitlin's team have no points, and Christi's team have 30 points.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Early days. Early days. Do not worry, OK?

The next round will test skill, nerve and determination,

yes, the game just got serious, this is the Copycats Challenge.

Because my team won the toss, they go first.

My team, so you don't see what's in store, we're going to send you off.

APPLAUSE

See you later, off you go! They don't want to leave!

Christi, as captain, you now need to select three people

to face the formidable Copycats Challenge,

but before you do, let's see what's in store. Mr D, what could it be?

'The Rings. Players have three rings and must throw all three

'at the corresponding coloured rod on the screen.

'Ten points for every successful throw.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, guys, best of luck. If you're ready, in three, two, one, throw.

'Christie's mum, Debbie, to start, and it's blue she's aiming at.

'Right on the far side, so it is tricky.

'This is Christi, team captain, aiming for the white.

'Oooh... That wasn't too bad.

'OK, let's see how Cameron gets on, Christi's friend.

'Aiming at the green rod.

'So close. Next, Debbie, back to Debbie, with the red.

'Right in the middle. In the middle, Debbie.

-HE LAUGHS

-'Next, Christi, aiming at the yellow.

'Ooh!

'Oh, not too bad.

'ext time, perhaps. OK, Cameron on the white.

'Yes! Ten points.

'Well done.

'Back to Debbie now, and the green.

'It's the nearest to you, Debbie, come on.

'Ooh! Very nearly.

'Next, it's Christi on the blue.

'This is the farthest away, this is a tricky one.

-Yellow.

-'Yellow for Cameron.

'Really concentrating, Cameron.

'Very nearly got that. Next, Debbie.

'Red for you. In the middle.

'Ooh, a bit too high. Very nearly, that one.

'Christi. You're aiming at green, nearest to you.

'Just over the top, and again. Not to worry. Cameron next.

'White. Go on, Cameron.

'Let's get some points here, come on.

'Debbie's going to try now. Only a few seconds left.

'We're aiming for the blue.

'Yes! Brilliant!'

MARK LAUGHS

OK, stop throwing.

Well done, guys. We'll add those challenge points

to your score after the music round.

Caitlin's team still need to face the Copycats challenge.

The points from the challenge could make all the difference

because a dream ticket to the ball room is at stake.

Give it up for Christi's team.

APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Caitlin's team, let's play Mime Time.

I've got three cards, please pick one.

You then have ten seconds to mime whatever is on that card to

the player next to you, and so on.

Remember we are looking for silent performances.

As with all the pass it on rounds 50 points are up for grabs.

But you lose ten points for every incorrect answer down the line.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-Yes!

-OK, let's close the doors.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

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

-This one.

The orange one, take a look.

-Can you do that?

-Yes.

-Nice, you've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, mime.

Can't argue with that. Your turn.

Yes, Alison.

OK, your turn.

OK, Caitlin.

Time's up. Stop miming!

All right, good copying.

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

-Er, basketball?

Close, but it's not basketball, so we're playing for 40 points.

-Caitlin?

-Er, netball?

-Yes!

Nice work, team. Excellent technique putting George in the first booth.

High five. You get yourselves 40 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Lovely Lesley, two cards left, which one would you like?

I think we'll go purple, being the purple team.

-And your top as well.

-Very true.

Can you do that?

Yes, I think I can do that one.

Best of luck.

Ready, steady, open the door.

OK, Christi.

He's nodding.

Victoria, your turn.

Bob, your turn.

Stop miming, OK!

You should all star on a silent soap, I reckon. That was really good. OK.

-For a maximum 50 points, Debbie, what is the answer?

-Is it sunbathing?

Yes!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Well done, really good. You've done that before, guys!

Congratulations, you get the full 50 points.

So after Mime Time have Caitlin's team netted the points?

And are Christi's team basking in the sun? Let's see the scores.

Mr D, what could they be?

Well, Mark, after Mime Time, Caitlin's team have 40 points

and Christi's team have 80 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Enough of this clapping. Let's try to get serious.

Caitlin's team are about to face the Copycats challenge.

Caitlin, it's your chance to add crucial points

-to your overall score. Are you ready?

-Yes!

-They're ready!

Christi's team, it's time for you to leave.

-We'll see you later. Bye!

-Bye!

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

to face the Copycats challenge.

Before that, let's see what's in store. Mr D, over to thee.

'The Rings. As before, players will be given three rings.

'They must throw all three at the corresponding coloured rod

'on the screen. Ten points are awarded for every successful throw.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK. If you're ready, in three, two, one...throw!

'So it's Caitlin's big sister, Melissa, to start.

'Aiming at the blue rod right at the back.

'That's quite a distance to cover. Next it's team captain, Caitlin,

'aiming at the white rod. Come on. See if you can score some points.

'OK, next it's Nicole, Caitlin's friend...

'aiming at the green, the nearest one. Should be easier, in theory.

'Melissa next.

'Yes! Good, ten points.

'We're off and running. Caitlin, aiming at the yellow.

'Not to worry. Next, it's Nicole.

'Throw all three rings at the coloured rods,

'all three could earn points if they land successfully each time.

'Green now for Melissa. Ooh, that was near!

'Next, Caitlin. On the blue.

'It is tricky, the blue one. Quite a few rings on the studio floor.

'Nicole next with the yellow.

'No luck there. OK, let's try red.

'And it's Melissa. Come on, Melissa! Very nearly! Very nearly!

'OK, Caitlin next on the green.

'This is very near. Well done! Yes!

'Another ten points. 18 seconds left. Come on!

'On the white, Nicole. Come on. Blue next for Melissa.

'Come on, we're running out of time. Quickly as you can.

'Caitlin, on the red. Come on, you must be able to do this! Come on!'

Time's up!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It's difficult, that game, isn't it?

There is only one more round to play before we add up the points

to reveal which team are going to play for the Copycats trophy.

Give it up for Caitlin's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right. Welcome back, Christi's team and welcome to the Music Round.

All you've got to do, Victoria, is pick a well-known tune

and recreate that tune to the player next to you, which is Cameron,

on the Copycats' kazoo. Are you any good on the kazoo?

I don't actually know.

Well, we are going to find out. Could everybody, except for Victoria,

please put your headphones on

so you do not hear which song is being selected.

Our Copycats look ready. Let's close the doors!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

We've got three cards. Which one would you like?

-The green card, please.

-OK. Have a look at that.

-You know that one?

-Yep.

-We're going to play it

so you can get the melody into your head.

# I'm your biggest fan

# I'll follow you

# Until you love me

# Pa-pa paparazzi

# Baby, there's no other superstar

# You know that I'll be

# Your pa-pa paparazzi. #

-Nice moves, Victoria! Best of luck. Got it in your head?

-Yep.

Ready, steady...play. Open the door.

I can't make a noise!

# Do-be-do-be-doooo do-do-be-do-be-do... #

OK, Cameron.

HE PLAYS A SIMILAR MELODY

OK, Christie.

# Do-be-do-be-do-be-doooo-be

# Do-be do-do

# Do-be

# Do-be-do-be-do-be-doooo-be... #

HE PLAYS VERY FLATLY

LAUGHTER

Go on, Debbie. That was great!

SHE PLAYS SOMETHING DIFFERENT

LAUGHTER

Stop playing!

HE LAUGHS

Well, you were very entertaining!

OK, for a maximum of 50 points, Leslie, any idea?

Poker Face by Lady Gaga?

Oooh, it is not Poker Face.

Let's open the door. Debbie, any idea?

Just Dance by Lady Gaga.

No, it is not Just Dance,

let's open the door. OK, for 30 points.

-Paparazzi by Lady Gaga.

-Yeah!

# Baby, you'll be famous

# Chase you down until you love me

# Pa-pa, paparazzi...#

I thought you were going through all the album!

-Had a bit of trouble with my kazoo.

-Massive Lady Gaga fans here.

You get yourselves 30 points, give them a round of applause.

Melissa, we have two cards left, which one would you like?

-Orange, please.

-Orange, there you go. You know that song?

-Kind of.

Don't worry, we are going to play it into the studio. Have a listen.

# Back to back and reload

# Pack our bags hit the road

# Its just me my baby ohh ohhh

# Me my baby ohh

# And that's just how we roll

# And that's just how we roll... #

Oh, that's a tough one. Best of luck, you've got 10 seconds.

Ready, steady, play.

PLAYS A GOOD ATTEMPT AT TUNE ON KAZOO

Nicely played.

PLAYS A LESS SIMILAR TUNE

Caitlin, your turn.

TUNE NOW SOUNDS NOTHING LIKE ORIGINAL

Nicole.

TUNE NOW UNRECONISABLE

Julian.

TUNE NOTHING LIKE ORIGINAL

-Time's up!

-Stop playing.

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

-New York, New York?

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

-Gillian.

-Beyonce, Best Thing You Ever Had.

Oh, cracking song. I love that song.

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

JLS, Everybody In Love?

It's, which means we're playing with 20 points, Caitlin.

Beat It by Michael Jackson.

It's not, which means they're playing for 10 points.

It's a really tough one, Melissa did a cracking job, Alison, any idea?

-I doubt it.

-No. Madonna?

-It's not a Madonna song.

-Melissa, do you want to tell us?

-How We Roll.

How We Roll. Let's hear it.

# Back to back and reload

# Pack our bags hit the road

# Its just me my baby ohh ohhh

# Me my baby ohh

# And that's just how we roll

# And that's just how we roll... #

Oh, guys, that was a really tough one,

At the end of the music round you don't get any points,

but give them a round of applause anyway.

'So, after three rounds, Caitlin's team have 40 points,

'and Christi's team have 110 points.'

Right. Both teams excelled in Mine Time,

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

Which team racked up the rings,

and which team are on the guest list for the ball room?

The wait is over,

I can reveal that one team got 20 points in their 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...

..Christi's team!

Commiserations to Caitlin's team.

-That means we have to say goodbye. Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-ALL: Yeah!

Nice, well, you been awesome. Give it up for Caitlin's team everybody.

OK, Christi's team, congratulations,

you've made it this far, it's time to compete for the fabulous,

-money can't buy, there's only like, 52 of these...

-There are loads.

..Not any more, we've given quite a few away,

but it's shiny, it's springy, it's the Copycats Trophy!

AUDIENCE COOS

OK, Christi, here is the ball room.

-Who have you chosen to play?

-Myself, Victoria and Paul.

Right, well, the best of luck. Before we open the doors,

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

Only a few left.

'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 will be deducted from the total. Good luck.'

OK, good luck, if you're ready, in three, two, one. Blast the balls!

'Off we go then. It's Victoria, Christi's friend.

'It's Christi in the middle, and Paul, Cameron's dad.

'Catching as many of these balls as they can.

'They need a score of 25, to win the bingy-boingy Copycats trophy.

'Come on, quickly as you can. Did I see a yellow one? I did.

'I thought I saw a yellow one going in there.

'Remember, you don't want any rogue colours if you can avoid them.

'It's not that they don't count, they're deducted. That's worse.

'Come on, quickly as you can.

'Catch the balls, you can't pick them up from the ball room floor.

'Fast as you can, time runs out quickly in this game.

'Come on, come on. Come on Paul, what are you doing?

'Let's see those balls going into the scoring cylinder if we can,

'20 seconds left, guys.

'Come on. There are plenty of people willing you on.

'How you doing so far?

'Oh, not badly, but one rogue ball in there.

'That will be deducted, remember. Come on. Quickly, quickly, quickly.

'Oh, that's a red one!'

KLAXON SOUNDS

Good effort, Good effort guys.

Unfortunately two rogue coloured balls in there,

we have to deduct that from your final total.

OK, it's tense.

The balls have been counted and checked.

You needed 25 green balls to win the trophy.

I can reveal that you collected...

..35!

Hold it up in the air.

Well done, guys.

Well done, you were fantastic.

You nearly filled up the thing. Have you enjoyed yourselves?

ALL: Yeah!

All right, brilliant. Give it up for Christi's team everyone.

What a great way to end the show, we'll see you next time on Copycats.

BOTH: Bye!
