Episode 27 Copycats

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

'Today's Copycats are

'Shannon's team from Renfrewshire

'and Ryan's team from Chester.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

BOTH: Hello.

Welcome to Copycats, the show where copying is good,

whether it's drawing, miming, or playing kazoo,

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 new and improved, but still bingy-boingy, Copycats trophy.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-It deserves a cheer. Shall we meet the teams?

-Let's do it.

Shannon's team, are you all right?

ALL: Yes!

We've got a feisty bunch over here. I like it. Shannon, introduce the team.

This is my friend Zoe, this is my friend Cara,

this is my friend Sarah,

this is my friend Gemma and this is Louise, my friend.

Excellent. HE LAUGHS "My friend". Excellent.

-It's lovely to have you here. Are you ready and raring for it?

-ALL: Yes!

Are you going to win it for me? THEY CHEER

Enough said. It's lovely to have you here. Give it up for Shannon's team! APPLAUSE

All right, feisty bunch over there. Ryan's team, are you feisty, as well?

ALL: Yes!

I tell you what, that was good. That was loud.

Ryan, team captain, introduce your team, please.

This is Ella, my sister. This is Josh, my friend from school.

This is Jacky, my dance teacher. This is Naomi, my drama teacher. And this is Darren, my dad.

-All right, are you ready and raring?

-ALL: Yes!

It sounds like you are. Give it up for Ryan's team.

APPLAUSE

It looks like our teams are ready to start copying. As with every game,

teams take turns to copy pictures, actions and displays of musical genius.

In order to get as many points as possible,

each team takes it in turn to face the Copycats Challenge later on.

We tossed a coin before the show, which told us Ryan's team will play first.

Let's play Copycats!

Ryan's team, I hope you've been brushing up on your artistic skills, it's time to play Quick On The Draw.

Jacky, I've got three cards. You will pick a card. You have ten seconds to draw

whatever is on the card for the player next to you, Ella, and so on down the line.

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

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

-Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL: Yes!

OK, let's close the doors.

OK, lovely Jacky, three cards. Which would you like?

I think I'll take the middle one.

-The middle one, the purple one. Have a look.

-Yeah.

-Do you reckon you could draw it?

-I think so.

OK, the best of luck. Your ten seconds start now. Draw.

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

OK, Ella. Your turn.

OK, Ryan. Best of luck.

OK, Darren.

MARK CHUCKLES

Naomi. Off you go. Go on.

Please stop drawing! OK.

HE LAUGHS

OK, Josh, for the maximum of 50 points, any idea the answer that I'm looking for?

Is it a jellyfish?

I think that's what Naomi has drawn, but it's not the correct answer.

Let's open the door. OK, Naomi.

Um, an octopus?

It is not an octopus, either.

Let's open the door for 30 points. Darren, any idea?

-What are we looking for?

-A cap with hair hanging from it?

A cap with hair. It's not exactly what I've got on the card.

I'm not going to lie, but that's a wrong answer.

Let's open the door. Ryan. Come on, mate.

A fish?

Ah. We've gone through all the aquatic animals.

But, unfortunately, that's wrong, mate.

OK, for the minimum of ten points. Come on.

-Is it a piano?

-Ah! It is not a piano.

Jacky, go on, put us out of our misery.

-It's a hair comb.

-LAUGHTER

-Um... It looks like a set of false teeth that's gone wrong.

-HE LAUGHS

Unfortunately, you don't get any points. A round of applause, please.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-OK, Gemma, I've got two cards left.

-Orange, please.

-Take a look.

-OK. Reckon you can draw that?

-Yep.

-OK. You've got ten seconds.

The best of luck. Ready, steady, draw.

Nice. Zoe, your turn.

OK, Louise is nodding, always a good sign.

OK. Shannon.

OK. Cara.

Time's up. Stop drawing.

OK, for a maximum of 50 points, Sarah, what's the answer when looking for?

-Is it a beach ball?

-Yes! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Nice work.

Well done, Gemma, cracking start. You get the maximum 50 points. CHEERING

After Quick On The Draw, are Ryan's team having a bad-hair day?

And are Shannon's team bouncing into the lead?

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

'Well, Sam, after Quick On The Draw, Shannon's team have 50 points

'and Ryan team have no 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 peek

at what's in store, we'll send you off.

But you will be back. See you later. Say bye to Shannon's team. Bye!

-Nice people.

-Lovely people.

-Now, Ryan,

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, will you?

'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 awarded for every green light.'

OK, if you're ready. Three, two, one. Tilt.

OK, guys, come on.

'Here we go.'

'Joining Ryan are Ryan's form teacher, Naomi

'and Ryan's friend from school, Josh.'

Yes!

'They've got one already. Brilliant work.'

You're doing really well.

'Teamwork, this. Got to talk to each other. You can hear them!'

-This one, this one!

-MR D CHUCKLES

'Moving together as a team. There's another.'

'You have to agree where best to stand to tilt the square

'and move the ball across the white light to turn it green.'

'Come on, come on! Less than a minute now.'

'Excellent. Plenty of encouragement from the sidelines.' Look. The rest of the team.'

'Going for that one?'

-'It's across. Does it go green? Yes, it does.'

-This way!

-'"This way, this way!"'

-HE CHUCKLES

'40 seconds. Quickly as you can.'

'You didn't get that one, though. Come on.'

'Try the next one.'

'It's got to go across the white light to turn it green. It has done!'

-'Five, with 30 seconds to go. Come on!'

-This way!

'Can you get a couple more?'

'There's another, hopefully. Yes!'

HE CHUCKLES

'Encouragement and applause, because they are doing well.'

'15 seconds to go.'

'Is that I another one?'

'Yes, it is.'

'You've got time for one more!'

'You've got to move quickly. See if you can do it. Come on!'

'Quickly, quickly!

'You're running out of time.'

'Oh!'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Brilliant. Did you enjoy that? You worked as a team.

You did really well. Well done.

We add the challenge points to your total after the music around.

Shannon's team still need to face the challenge. The points can make all the difference,

because a dream ticket to the Ball Room is at stake.

-One more time, give it up for Ryan's team.

-CHEERING

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

Now, Louise, I've got three cards in my hand. You'll choose one.

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

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

Remember, we're looking for silent performances.

As with all pass-it-on rounds, 50 points are up for grabs

but you lose ten points for every wrong answer.

Copycats, are you ready? CHEERING

Awesome. In that case, close the doors!

Louise, pick a card.

The purple one. Take a look.

-Mm.

-Reckon you could do that?

-Oh, yes.

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

-Thank you.

-Ready, steady, mime.

OK. Cara, your turn.

OK. Sarah, your turn.

Zoe, your turn.

OK, Gemma, your turn.

Time's up. Stop miming. OK, OK.

Interesting.

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

Are you putting on make-up?

No. OK.

Which means we're playing for 40 points. Open the door, please.

-Any idea?

-Um, moisturising?

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

-I have no clue.

-No idea?

-No.

-We're playing for 20 points.

-Sarah?

-Taking make-up off?

-It wasn't taking make-up off.

Which means we are playing for ten points.

-What do you think the answer is?

-Is it shaving?

Yes!

APPLAUSE

Some of you were shaving your forehead during that!

Not bad. You get ten points!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

I've got two cards left - green and orange. Which one would you like?

-Green.

-Look at that.

Your eyes just went...

Are you happy with it? Best of luck. Ready, steady, mime! Open the door.

OK, Jacky.

Go on, Darren.

OK, Josh!

Smooth, mate!

Time's up!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

It's a good move. Anyway, for the maximum 50 points? Ryan?

-Milking a cow?

-LAUGHTER

A great guess! It's not the answer I've got my card, unfortunately.

-Let's open the door.

-Is it making an ice-cream?

It's not making an ice-cream. Let's open the door. For 30 points.

-Were you opening a door or something?

-He's not.

-Open the door, for 20 points. Darren.

-Beer pump.

It is not, unfortunately. Let's open the door, for ten points.

-Was it arm wrestling?

-Yes!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Granted, it's difficult to arm wrestle yourself!

But you get 10 points, well done. Nice work.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

After Mime Time, was that a close shave for Shannon's team?!

Ha! And did Ryan's team muscle their way into the lead?

It's time for the scores. Mr D, what could they be?

'Well, after Mime Time,

'Shannon's team have 60 points

'and Ryan's team have 10 points!'

Now, Shannon's team are about to face the Copycats Challenge.

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

-Are you ready?

-ALL: Yes!

-Yes!

-Aaargh! Ryan's team, it's time for you to leave. Off you go.

-See you later.

-APPLAUSE

-Have a nice cup of tea.

-I'd love a cup of tea.

-I'M not making it.

-Go and make me one.

-No!

-Shannon, as team captain,

you now need to select three people to face the Copycats Challenge.

Let's take a look at what's in store. Mr D, what could it be?

The Square. As before, 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 awarded

-for every green light.

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

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

'Here we go. So it's Gemma, Zoe and Louise playing them.

'They're all Shannon's friends. They're moving together as a team.

'This could be the answer. Clinging onto each other.

'Very dangerously close to the edge of the Square. Be careful!

'Two now. Moving quite fast.

'Look at this! Three already!

'It's Louise, look.

'Watching the ball very closely, and issuing advice.

'Don't get too close to the ball. There's another!

'Works better if you as far away from the ball as possible.

'Then it moves quite quickly around the Square.

'Another one! 45 seconds to go.

'High-scoring here.

'Be careful! Right on the edge of the Square.

'That's another one!

'Lots of encouragement from the rest of the team.

'And another one! This is good!

'Coming back for the one on the side. Have they got it?

'Yes, they have!

'Wow!

'15 seconds left.

'Come on. Come on. Fancy footwork there.

'Got them another one. Quickly, quickly, quickly!

'Let's see if we can get one more in the remaining seconds. Come on!'

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

That was awesome! Well done!

There is only one more round to play before we add those Challenge points

to the total, and we can reveal which team are going to be playing

for the Copycats trophy. Give it up for Shannon's team!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Welcome back, Ryan's team. This is the Music round.

It's easy for me to say, but all you've got to do

is pick a well-known tune and play it for the person next to you,

using the world-famous Copycats kazoo.

Can everybody except for Darren please put the headphones on,

so you do not hear what song has been selected.

They certainly look ready. Let's close the doors.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

I've got three cards. Orange, green or purple. Which would you like?

-Green.

-Have a look at that, my friend.

-Any idea?

-No.

Don't worry - we'll play the song so you can get the melody in your head.

MUSIC: "Bounce" by Calvin Harris, featuring Kelis

Got that in your head? We're going to find out, mate. OK, best of luck.

Ready, steady, play!

OK, your turn, Naomi.

PLAYS TUNELESSLY

OK, Jacky.

Good playing.

OK, Ryan.

HE SPLUTTERS

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

I don't know what that was in the middle, Ryan!

It was great copying down the line, guys, I've got to say.

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

-"Championed" by Chipmunk.

-It's not what I've got on the card.

Open the door. For 40 points, Ryan, what are we looking for?

Postman Pat!

With conviction! I wish it was, but it's not. Let's open the door. Ella.

-Was it Poker Face?

-It's not Poker Face by Lady Gaga.

-Let's open the door. Jacky?

-Was it Halo?

-It's not Halo.

Really good guesses, and you played it well. It is a tricky one.

-Let's open the door. Finally, for ten points.

-Swagger Jagger.

-It's not Swagger Jagger. Darren?

-Bounce.

-Bounce by Calvin Harris.

-Let's have a listen.

-SONG PLAYS

I've got to say, that was very tricky.

Ryan's team get no points, but give them a round of applause.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

OK, lovely. Shannon, pick a card. Orange. Take a look.

-Do you know that song?

-Yeah, I think I do.

We'll play it, so you can get the melody into your head.

# I wouldn't want to have it any other way

# I'm addicted And I just can't get enough

# I just can't get enough I just can't get enough... #

Best of luck. You've got ten seconds. Ready, steady, play!

SHE FALTERS

Very good, very good.

Good. Keep going.

Very good. Gemma?

PLAYS TUNELESSLY

LAUGHTER

Time's up! OK...

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Not bad. This is a difficult one, but not bad at all!

-Cara, any idea, for 50 points?

-Is it The Lazy Song?

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

Open the door.

Is it # I just can't get enough... #

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

# I wouldn't want to have it any other way

# I'm addicted and I just can't get enough... #

Well done! That was amazing. You get 40 points!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

'Right, so after three rounds, Shannon's team have 100 points,

'and Ryan's team have 10 points.'

OK, one of our teams did really well in the Pass It On games,

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

Which team smashed the Square

-and which team are shimmying to the Ball Room?

-The wait is over.

-I can reveal that one team got 110 points in the Challenge.

-Very good.

I can also reveal that one team got 70 points.

Ooh!

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

Shannon's team! APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to Ryan's team.

-Have you had a good time?

-Yes!

-Give it up for Ryan's team.

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

OK, Shannon's team, you have made it this far,

and it's time to compete for the fabulous, money-can't-buy,

limited-edition Copycats trophy. 18 carats of loveliness.

18 CARROTS, actually!

-Here is the Ball Room.

-ALL: Oooooh!

Yeah, you'll say "Oooooh!" Who have you chosen to play?

I chose myself, Sarah and Louise.

Before we open the doors, let's 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 time runs out.

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

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Are you ready? In three, two, one, blast the balls!

'Louise was putting her thumb up. She's ready for this.

'Shannon, team captain, with Sarah and Louise.

'We need 25 green balls in that cylinder, as quickly as you can.

'Balls of the wrong colour will be deducted from the total.

'So concentrate! So much activity in there. The balls are going in.

'Fast and furious.

'This is good news. Come on, Shannon.

'Louise grabbing a few more. Any green ones?

'Let's find out. Not on that occasion. Shannon got one.

'25 seconds, quickly as you can. This is impressive.

'Will it be enough? We'll find out shortly. Quickly as you can.

'Come on, Shannon.

'Quite a few in there. Ten seconds, girls, come on.

'They're behind you, Shannon!

'Come on! Time is running out. Klaxon any second.'

KLAXON BLOWS

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

You did really well there.

Unfortunately we have to take away two balls you put in at the end.

All right.

OK, you needed 25 green balls to win the trophy.

I can reveal...

that you collected...

34!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Amazing!

-Give it to the girls!

-That means you are Copycats champions!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

That must be some kind of European record!

A great show. I can't believe it's over. Well done.

-Have you had a good time?

-ALL: Yes!

You've been cracking sports. Give it up for Shannon's team!

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING See you next time!

-Bye!
