Episode 26 Copycats

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

'And today's copycats are Oliver's team from Hertfordshire

'and Ellie's team from East Kilbride.'

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

-What are you doing?

-I'm checking out my best side.

I think it's my right, but there's something quite flattering about the left.

-I don't believe you.

-What?!

-Fame has finally gone to your head.

Next, you'll demand you're dressing room to be filled with kittens

and you'll demand life-size cut-outs of yourself and a new toilet seat.

I've already got the kittens, but the toilet seat is a good idea. I'll add it to the list.

OK! Now, the team with the most points at the end of the show

will play for the new and improved, but still bingy-boingy, Copycats trophy.

AUDIENCE: Ooh!

Yeah. Do you reckon you can present the show, or are you too famous for that?

Of course I can. Fame hasn't gone to my head just yet.

In fact, can we get on with it? I'm meeting Justin Bieber for dinner

and getting my gold taps fitted very soon.

-So that will be good.

-Let's meet the teams.

-Come on!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oliver's team, my team, welcome to the show. You all all right?

ALL: Yes! Awesome. Oliver, introduce the rest of your team.

Hi, I'm Oliver and I'm team captain and this is my friend Sion,

and this is my sister Lily, my father Simon, my mum Melinda

-and Tracey, Sion's mum.

-Nice to meet you all.

Are you all excited to be here?

ALL: Yes. Oh, yeah!

Good very excited. I like that.

the best of luck. It's Oliver's team, everybody. APPLAUSE

Oliver's team, they're very, very good,

but when I look into Ellie's team, do you know what I see?

Winners. That's what I see.

-Yes!

-That's what I see.

-Ellie, team captain, do you want to introduce your team?

-Hiya.

I'm Ellie. I'm team captain. I'm here today with my friend Darcy,

and Ruan from my stage school.

And I've got my Auntie Geraldine here

and my dad Hugh and my acting teacher Claire.

Wait, let me get this straight. You're acting teacher Claire and you go to stage school?

You might as well go home! You might as well go home, I'm telling you.

-The best of luck. It's Ellie's team, everyone. Yes.

-CHEERING

It's going to be good. 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 it in turn

to face the Copycats Challenge.

We tossed a coin before the show that told us that Ellie's team will play first.

Let's play Copycats. CHEERING

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

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

I've got three cards in my hand.

You're going to pick a card. You have ten seconds to draw whatever is on that card

for the player next to you.

And then so one and so on down the line.

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

but as you pass it back down the line, you lose ten points for every wrong answer.

-Copycats, you look ready, are you ready?

-ALL: Yes.

In that case, let's close the doors.

Bye, everyone.

OK, Ruan, I have three cards - an orange, a purple and a green. Which would you like?

-Er, purple one.

-Have a look at that.

-OK.

-Do you reckon you've got that?

-Yep.

-All right.

Ruan, the best of luck. Ready, steady, draw. Open the door.

OK. That's a good drawing.

OK, Darcy.

Ten seconds.

OK, Geraldine.

OK, Claire.

OK, stop drawing.

For a maximum of 50 points, what is the answer I've got on the card?

Is it teacup?

It's a teacup. Yay!

-Ellie, team captain, are you happy with that?

-Yes.

You should be. You get yourself the maximum 50 points. Well done.

CHEERING

OK, I've got two cards left. Green or orange?

-I'm going to take the orange one, thank you.

-Take a look.

Ha! OK.

LAUGHTER That sounded like a nervous laugh.

-I'll take that back. Reckon you can draw that?

-Yeah.

-Good.

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

Ooh. OK, Oliver, your turn.

SAM LAUGHS

OK. Simon.

Ooh! Sion, your turn, mate.

SAM CHUCKLES

Time's up.

Amazing.

For 50 points, any idea of the answer were looking for?

-A devil?

-That is what Sion's drawn,

but it's not the answer, which means were playing for 40 points.

-Sion.

-Is it a bull?

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

Simon, that's a cracking drawing!

-Snowman?

-It's not a snowman.

-Which means we're playing for 20 points. Lily.

-Er, pepper...

-Like a pepper pot?

-Yes.

Excellent thinking.

It's not. Which means were playing for the minimum of ten points.

Oliver, any idea?

-Is it a clock?

-Nearly! You have to be slightly more specific.

A time clock?

-Oh, no! I'm afraid we can't give it to you.

-Oh, no!

You were so close, Melinda.

-It was a grandfather clock!

-Of course it was. Oh.

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

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

After Quick On The Draw, are Ellie's team relaxing with a nice cup of tea? Shall I be mother?

Oh, nice! And should Oliver's team have set their alarm an hour earlier?

Let's find out. Mr D, what are the scores?

'Well, Sam, after Quick On The Draw, Oliver's team have no points

'and Ellie's team have 50 points.'

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

Yes! This game just got serious, because this is the Copycats Challenge.

Because my team won the toss, they will go first.

My team, so that you don't get a sneaky peek, we will send you off.

Go and put your feet up. See later. Bye, Oliver's team.

-Bye.

-Bye.

-Got to love them, haven't you?

-Yeah.

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

to face the daunting Copycats Challenge.

Before you do, let's find out what's in store. Mr D, what could it be, thee?

'The Tubes. A coloured tube will be displayed on the screen.

'Players must place a ball in the tube and catch it as it exits.

'Ten points are awarded for every catch.

'If a player catches a ball from the golden tube, they score the maximum 150 points

'and the challenge will end.'

CHEERING

Three, two, one, roll.

'Here we go. Ten points for each successful catch.

'Look out for the golden tube. First it's a green one for Ellie.

'Quickly. Oh! Very nearly.

'Next, it's Hugh.

'Blue tube for Hugh.

'Catches it, does he? No, never mind.

'Next, Ruan.

'Yellow tube. Go on, Ruan. Oh, not quite there in time.

'Next it's Ellie with a yellow tube.

'Puts it in at that end. Does she catch it? No, she almost falls over!

'Next, it's Hugh. The white tube.

'Come on. Round you go. Yes!

'At last, they score.

'Next, Ruan, and the black tube. Has he got the measure of this?

'Not quite.

'Next it's Ellie. And a blue tube for you, El.

'Come on, round you go. Next, it's Hugh.

'Come on, Hugh. Do this again, if you would.

'Aha, there we are! Good. Next, it's Ruan. The green tube.

'Round he goes... Oh, that was close!

'Ellie, a yellow one for you. In at that end,

'catch it at the other, not quite. Next, the golden tube.

'This is the one. Is he going to do it? Not quite!

'He falls backwards. Next it's Ruan, the blue tube.

'Round you go, Ruan. Oh, so near.

'Next, it's Ellie. A white one for you. Come on.

'17 seconds left. No, never mind. Hugh next. Black tube.

'Oh no, it's fallen out. Next, it's Ruan with a white tube.

'Come on, Ruan, quickly as you can.

'Quickly, come on. Time's running out.

'Yes! Brilliant. Ellie, green.

'Are you going to do this?

-'No.'

-END OF ROUND MUSIC

Wow. I tell you what... Well done, well done.

Remember, we'll add those points to your total after

the music round. Oliver's team still to face the Copycats challenge.

Those points could make all the difference

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

Please give it up for Ellie's team.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Well done.

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

Simon, I've got three cards. You'll pick one, then have 10 seconds

to mime what's on it to the person next to you, and so on down the line.

Remember, we need silent performances.

As usual, there's a maximum of 50 points to be won. If you think

you know the answer, you can add a bit more detail

to help the mime get all the way down to the end of the line.

As with every pass-it-on game,

you will lose 10 points for every incorrect answer.

-Copycats, are you ready? ALL:

-Yes!

-All right, let's close the doors.

OK, Simon, three cards. He's gone for the purple. Take a look.

Reckon you can do that? Best of luck.

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

Yeah, very good, very good.

OK, Sion.

Tracey Jane, your turn.

Melinda.

Time's up, stop miming. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

Is it stirring a cake mix?

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

-Frying your dinner.

-It's not frying your dinner, which means

we're playing for 30 points. Tracey Jane?

Mixing ice cream and tasting it?

It's not, unfortunately. For 20 points, Sion.

Open the door, please. Thank you.

-Any idea, mate?

-Baking a cake?

-It's not baking a cake.

OK, which means we're playing for the minimum of 10 points.

-Was it making a pie?

-Oh, it wasn't! Simon, do you want to tell everybody?

-It was eating a boiled egg.

-Aww! Tough one.

So that means you don't get any points

but give them a round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Claire. I've got two cards in my hand, a green one or an orange one.

-Which one would you like?

-Let's go for green.

-Like your top.

-Indeed.

HE LAUGHS

-You look terrified, I won't lie. Ready?

-I'm ready.

-Best of luck, Claire.

-Thank you very much.

-Ready, steady, mime.

Let's open the door.

OK, Darcy.

Ruan looks confident.

OK, Geraldine. Your turn.

HE LAUGHS

Time to spare as well. Go on, Ellie.

-Stop miming!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hugh, for the maximum 50 points, what's the answer I've got?

-Is it rocking a baby?

-It's not rocking a baby. OK,

let's open the door. For 40 points,

-Ellie?

-Is it changing a baby's nappy?

-Yes, well done! Love that.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Ellie's team. You get yourself 40 points. Well done.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So after Mime Time, do Oliver's team have egg on their face?

And are Ellie's team taking baby steps to the ball room?

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

'Well, Mark, after Mime Time, Oliver's team still have no points

'and Ellie's team have 90 points.'

OK, it's time to get serious once again because

Oliver's team are about to face the Copycats Challenge.

Earlier on in the show, Ellie's team built up a pile of

all-important points in their challenge but did they do enough?

-Only time will tell.

-Oliver, your chance

to attempt to add some crucial points to your overall score.

-Are you ready? ALL:

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

OK, Ellie's team. So you don't get a sneaky peek,

we'll send you off but we'll see you later.

-Bye to Ellie's team.

-Bye.

-Bye.

-Nice people.

-Nice.

-Good people.

Remember, the results will be revealed

at the end when the extra points scored here

may determine which team wins their tickets to the ball room.

-Sam, I'm tense.

-Do you want a massage?

-Yeah, please.

-Probably no time for that, though, eh?

-No, sorry.

Oliver, as captain you need to select three people to face

the Copycats Challenge but first, let's see what's in store.

Mr D, over to you. Do you want a massage?

-MR D LAUGHS

-'Well, perhaps later, Sam!

'The Tubes. As before, a coloured tube will be displayed on screen.

'Players must place a ball in the tube and catch it as it exits.

'10 points are awarded for every successful catch.

'If a player catches a ball from the golden tube,

'they'll score the maximum 150 points and the challenge will end.'

-Ready, steady, let's roll.

-'Here we go, then.

'10 points for every successful catch, remember. Green tube

'for Sion to get us started.

'Almost, not quite. Next, it's Simon. This is Oliver's dad.

'The blue tube. In at one end. Does he catch it at the other?

'Yes, he does. Excellent. Next, it's Oliver.

'Team leader, the yellow. Not quite there in time. Next, Sion.

'Another yellow one. Here we go. Come on, Sion. Round you go.

'It is a fast one. Next, it's Simon and the white tube.

'In at one end. Will he catch it at the other? Yes, he does.

'Excellent. Next, it's Oliver. Black tube.

'Quite quick, that one. Aww, nearly. Next, it's Sion.

'Blue tube. Come on, you can do this.

'Ha-hey! Next, Simon it is, and it's the red.

'Is he going to catch it? Oh, what happened there?

'Next, Oliver with the green. In at that end.

'No, not round there fast enough. Next, it's Sion with the yellow.

'Oh, he's dropped it! Never mind, move on

'to the golden tube, here we go. This is Simon.

'Can he do this? 150 points available... Yes!

Yeah! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Good man. That was awesome! That was like some kind of film.

That was amazing. Love that. Well done, guys. Maximum points.

Only one more round to play before we add those challenge points

to your total and we can reveal

which team will play for the Copycats trophy.

The suspense is killing me. That was amazing!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

This is the now world-famous Music Round.

All you have to do is pick a well-known tune

and then play it for the person next to you on this, the Copycats Kazoo.

HE PLAYS A SIMPLE TUNE

Probably better than that, actually. Let me put that down.

Could everybody except for Ellie now please put their headphones on

so you don't hear which song is selected.

Thank you very much. Let's close the doors.

Ellie, I have got three cards in my hand.

A green one, orange one and purple one.

-Which one would you like?

-Purple one.

OK. Cos you asked so nicely, there you go.

-OK.

-Yeah, you like that one?

We're going to play it in the studio now, so get the melody in your head.

# Oh, na, na, what's my name? Oh, na, na, what's my name?

# Oh, na, na, what's my name?

# Oh, na, na, what's my name? #

-OK. You got that in your head?

-Yep.

Best of luck, Ellie. Ready, steady, play. Open the door.

PLAYS MELODY

OK, Darcy.

OK. Ruan.

OK. Hugh.

OK. Claire.

OK. Stop playing.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK. Geraldine. For a maximum of 50 points.

-What's the answer I'm looking for?

-Is it Lady Gaga, Poker Face?

No, it's not Lady Gaga, Poker Face.

OK, let's open the door. Claire.

Is it Rihanna, and...I'm trying to think of the song.

-Is it What's My Name?

-It is!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# What's my name? What's my name? #

Yeah, go on, yeah, go on!

Bring that! Yeah, that's what! Brilliant!

You've played a blinder once again.

You get yourselves 40 points, well done.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Lily, two songs left. Orange or green, what would you like?

-Um...orange, please.

-Orange. Take a look.

-Do you know that song?

-No!

-Oh, dear!

Don't worry. We are going to play it in the studio,

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

# Butterflies, butterflies

# We were meant to fly You and I, you and I

# Colours in the sky

# When the innocence is dead and gone... #

Best of luck, Lily. You can do this! 10 seconds. Ready, steady, play!

PLAYS MELODY

It's good! It's good!

That's good. Very good.

OK. Oliver, your turn.

Simon!

Melinda.

WHEEZES

I can't!

Time's up! Wow!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

For 50 points, what is the answer we are looking for?

-Mamma Mia?

-Give us a hug for trying!

Bless ya! It's not. OK, we're playing for 40 points.

-Melinda?

-Er...9 To 5?

-It's not.

Which means we're playing for 30 points.

-Simon?

-Comfortably Numb?

-It's not, I'm afraid, it's not.

Which means we're playing for 20 points.

-Hound Dog?

-It's not, mate.

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

-Sion.

-Is it Spaceship?

It's not. Lily, do you want to tell everybody?

-Gold Forever, by The Wanted.

-Gold Forever, by The Wanted.

Let's hear it!

# Butterflies, butterflies... #

That's a tough one.

# We were meant to fly... #

That's a tough one!

# Colours in the sky... #

No ideas, guys? No idea down the line!

Unfortunately that means in the music round you don't get any points.

Give them a round of applause, anyway.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

'and Ellie's team have 130 points.'

One team performed fantastically in the Pass It On games,

while the other excelled in the tubes.

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

Which team triumphed on the tubes,

and which team are doing the cha-cha to the ball room?

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

150 points in the challenge.

AUDIENCE: Whoo!

-Ooh, indeed!

-Indeed.

I can also reveal that one team got...

30 points.

Yeah. Which means the team going through

to the Copycats ball room, and playing for the trophy, is...

..Ellie's team!

I'm afraid that means we have to say goodbye to Ollie and his team.

-But you guys absolutely smashed the tubes!

-Yes!

-Yes!

-Yeah!

-Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-Yeah!

-Awesome.

Give it up for Oliver's team, everybody.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, team, congratulations. You've made it this far.

But it's now time to compete

for the fabulous, money-can't-buy, limited edition,

lovely, shiny, springy thing that is...this,

the Copycats trophy! AUDIENCE: Whoo!

It's so gold! Aaah!

OK. Here is the ball room.

Ellie, who have chosen to play the ball room, and why?

I've chosen Darcy, my friend, and Claire, my acting teacher,

because I think they're really good at catching balls

and just controlling everything that they're assigned to do.

-All girls together, eh?

-Yeah, ladies' night out!

-You've pushed the boys to the side, yeah?

-Yep!

Yeah, they're going to be cheerleaders!

OK. Good luck to you. Before we open the doors,

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

'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 collected will be deducted from the total.

-'Good luck!'

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, if you're ready, in 3...2...1... Blast the balls!

'Come on, then, Ellie's team, you can do this!

'25 green balls will win you the new and improved Copycats trophy.

'Left to right, Claire, Ellie and Darcy. There they are.

'Quickly as you can, girls.

'25 green balls.

'A couple in there already, good news.

'Quickly as you can, come on.

'They are counting on the outside of the ball room.

'Thank you for that.

'Inside, a flurry of activity. Darcy's having great fun.

'It is great fun in there but you've got to catch these balls.

'Make sure none are the wrong colour.

'Got to be the right ones. More going in. Really good news.

'But is it enough? Come on. 16 seconds left.

'Fast as you can.

'Lots of green balls is what we need. They're going in.

'Come on, faster, faster, faster.

'Come on! We're running out of time!

'Come on, you need to do this to win!'

KLAXON

OK. 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.

So unfortunately that means you don't get your hands

on the golden Copycats trophy.

But you did really well.

You're don't get the trophy but do get some Copycats T-shirts.

-That all right? Yay!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-ALL: Yes!

-All right.

-Give it up for Ellie's team!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-That's the end of the show!

-Thank you very much for watching.

We shall see you next time on Copycats. Bye!
