Episode 28 Copycats

Welcome to Copycats with your hosts, Sam and Mark. Today's Copycats are:

Pierce's team from Glasgow.

And Tonia's team from Berkshire.

APPLAUSE

TOGETHER: Hello!

Welcome to Copycats. The gameshow where copying is good.

Yep, it is so good, it makes me want to tap dance.

LAUGHTER

Wow! So good it makes me want to sing opera!

# Nessun Dorma #

Wow. In fact, it's so good, it makes me want to do my horsey impression.

SAM NEIGHS

Right...

Today's teams are playing for the ultimate, money can't buy, prize.

It is the Copycats Trophy.

APPLAUSE

-Shall we meet today's Copycats?

-Yeah.

-Come on, Black Beauty.

-Over here is Pierce's team. Are you all right?

-TOGETHER: Yes!

Team captain, Pierce, introduce the rest of the gang, please.

This is my friend, Adam. This is my friend, Amy.

This is my auntie, Angela.

My auntie, Nicola.

And, my auntie, Kelly.

It's lovely to have you here. Are you ready for this?

TOGETHER: Yes!

-Are you going to win for ME?

-TOGETHER: Yes!

That's all I want to hear.

Everybody, give it up for Pierce's team. Good luck.

APPLAUSE

Pierce's team look good, but...

Tonia's team is even better. Yeah?

TOGETHER: Yeah!

Tonia, team captain, introduce the rest of your team, please?

This is Olivia, one of my best friends.

This is Lucy, one of my best friends.

Siobhan is my mum.

Louise is my drama teacher and Ricky is a really close friend.

-All focused and raring to go?

-TOGETHER: Yes!

As Sam just said, are you going to win it for ME?

TOGETHER: Yes!

Yes! All right, Tonia's team. Give them a round of applause.

APPLAUSE

It looks as if 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.

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

the Copycats Challenge, later on.

We tossed a coin before the show,

which told us Tonia's team will play first. Let's play!

OK, Tonia's team.

I hope you've been brushing up on your artistic skills

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

Olivia, I have three cards.

You're going to pick one and will then have 10 seconds

to draw whatever is on it for the next player, which is Ricky.

-Then on down the line. Understand?

-Yep.

Don't look so nervous, it's fine, I promise you.

50 points can be won, but, as you pass it back down the line,

you lose ten points for every incorrect answer.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-TOGETHER: Yes!

OK, let's close the doors.

I have three cards here, Olivia. Which one would you like?

-Happy with that?

-Yep.

-Yeah?

You know that. OK, fantastic.

The best of luck, Olivia.

Ready, steady, draw.

Open the door.

OK, Ricky, your turn. 10 seconds.

OK, Lucy.

Siobhan, your turn. Watch that door!

Go on, Tonia. Ten seconds.

Stop drawing!

Oh, brilliant. OK.

For a maximum of 50 points, any idea of the answer we're looking for?

-Is it an Eskimo?

-Brilliant!

It really, really looks like an Eskimo.

But it's not what we've on the card. Let's open the door. Tonia?

What has Siobhan drawn there, for 40 points?

-Is it a ball something.

-A what, sorry, darling?

Where you chuck the ball up and it lands in the hole.

-Oh, like a hoop?

-Yeah.

-It's not, unfortunately.

Let's open the door. For 30 points.

Is it a yo-yo?

It's not a yo-yo. Let's open the door, for 20 points.

Ricky, this is where it started to go a little bit wrong, I think.

Is it a key?

Oh, it wasn't wrong at all, it's right!

I'm sorry, Ricky.

I gave you some grief there, but that's a great drawing.

Really, really good.

Congratulations, Tonia's team. You get 20 points. Well done!

APPLAUSE

OK, two cards left. Which one would you like?

-This one.

-The green one. Take a look.

No problem.

I like that. Confident. You've got ten seconds. Ready, steady, draw!

Nicola's nodding, that's a good sign.

OK, off you go.

Take a good look, Adam. Time to spare, as well.

OK, Adam, your turn.

Amy, your turn.

OK, Pierce, your turn.

OK, time's up, stop drawing. All right.

Not bad copying down the line.

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

Is it a...car?

Yes!

APPLAUSE

Well done, guys!

I can see that you are very happy about that. Well done, guys.

Great copying down the line, a perfect start. 50 points!

APPLAUSE

So, after Quick On The Draw,

have Tonia's team got the keys to the Ball Room?

Are Pierce's team in pole position?

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

Well, Sam, after Quick On The Draw,

Pierce's team have 50 points

and Tonia's team have 20 points.

-Still a long way to go, guys.

-Indeed.

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

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

we'll send you off, but you'll be back.

Go and get yourself some crumpets or some toast or something!

-See you later guys, bye!

-Bye!

-Love a crumpet.

-I know.

Tonia, as captain, you must select

three people for the awesome Copycats challenge.

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

Mr D, what could it be?

The Drop.

A coloured rod will be displayed on the screen,

payers must remove the corresponding rod while trying to avoid

any of the balls dropping.

10 points are awarded for every rod pulled out.

Ten points will be deducted for any ball that falls.

Best of luck, girls.

If you're ready, in three, two, one, pull!

So, it's Tonia's mum, Siobhan, to get us started

with one of the yellow rods, please, if you would, Siobhan.

That's good, a good start.

Next, black, for Tonia. Tonia is the team captain.

Very good.

A red one next, please, Lucy. Tonia's best friend.

Come on, Lucy. You've started so you must complete the move. Well done.

Next, red for Siobhan.

Very good. No damage at all, there.

Next, Tonia.

One of the black ones, if you would, please.

Taking the advice there. Good.

Yellow for Lucy. Come on, Lucy.

Really concentrating, well done. Another yellow for Siobhan.

She races around.

Now, gently does it.

That's all right, no problem.

Next, red for Tonia.

Oh, one of the balls has fallen.

Next, black for Lucy.

Come on, Lucy. Yes, well done. Well spotted. Excellent.

Next, yellow for Siobhan.

It's getting to the tricky part now, but that's very good. Successful.

Next, black for Tonia.

Now, we don't want any of these balls falling, if we can avoid it.

Oh, a few have gone. 15 seconds left.

Now, Lucy, red we're looking for.

She's started the move, she's got to complete it.

Gently does it...

Oh, another one fallen.

Time's up!

I like that. She was going to put it in the basket, amazing.

Unfortunately, we can't count that one.

We'll add those points to your score after the music around.

Pierce's team still need to face the Copycats Challenge,

The points from the Challenge can make all the difference,

with a ticket to the Ball Room at stake.

Give it up for Tonia's team, everyone.

APPLAUSE

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

I've got three cards. You'll choose one

and then have ten seconds to mime what's on it to the next person,

which is Kelly. And so on, down the line.

Remember, we're looking for silent performances.

As usual, there is a maximum of 50 points up for grabs.

But, you'll lose ten points for every incorrect answer back down the line.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-TOGETHER: Yes!

Awesome. In that case, let's close the doors.

OK, Pierce, pick a card, mate.

The orange one, take a look.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Er, Probably.

OK, you've got ten seconds. Best of luck, mate.

In three, two, one... Mime!

Remember, it's a silent performance.

Not bad at all. Kelly, your turn.

OK, Adam.

OK, Nicola.

Angela, your turn.

Time is up. OK!

All right.

For a maximum of 50 points,

-Amy, what's the answer?

-Blowing your nose?

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

-Angela?

-Sneezing.

It's not sneezing. Which means we're playing for 30 points.

Runny nose?

It's not a runny nose, which means we're playing for 20 points.

Adam, what do you think it is?

Er, you're wiping your nose?

It's not wiping your nose. It's such a tough one this.

It could have been all those to be fair. It's difficult.

Kelly, for ten points, what do you think it is?

-Has he got a cold?

-Yeah!

APPLAUSE

That is a tough one.

Pierce, you did a cracking job, you all did great copying down the line.

It could have been any of those things, wiping your nose, sneezing.

But, ten points are better than none.

APPLAUSE

-Are you ready for this, Louise?

-Yes, I am.

I have two cards left. Green or purple?

-Purple.

-OK, have a look.

Oh, no.

MARK LAUGHS

The best of luck, Louise.

Ready, steady, mime!

Open the door.

It's good.

Siobhan, your turn.

Oh, no.

Go on, Lucy.

OK, Ricky.

-Stop miming!

-APPLAUSE

OK, for 50 points, the best of luck, Olivia.

What's the answer on my card?

Picking off something from your shoe?

Picking something off your shoe? It's not, I'm afraid.

Let's open the door, for 40 points, Ricky?.

All I can think of is dog poo on your shoe.

LAUGHTER

No, it's not, sorry.

-Let's open the door, for 30 points.

-Steeping in a puddle?

It's not, it's a cracking guess. Let's open the door for 20 points.

Picking chewing gum off your shoe? It is not. OK.

Let's open the door. So tough, this one. So tough.

Putting your shoe on and going for a walk and stepping in something?

It's not, I'm afraid. Louise, really hard.

Tell us all what it was.

Weighing yourself on the scales.

Ohh!

That was a tricky one, sadly, you get no points.

But a round of applause, please.

APPLAUSE

So, after Mime Time, SNOT a bad performance from Pierce's team!

Tonia's team, off the scale.

Time for those all-important scores. Mr D, what could they be?

Well, Mark, after Mime Time,

Pierce's team have 60 points

and Tonia's team still have 20 points.

Right, time to get serious once again.

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

It is a chance to add some crucial points to your score. Are you ready?

TOGETHER: Yes!

Yes, they're ready.

Tonia's team, time to leave, but you'll be coming back.

Say goodbye, for the time being, to Tonia's team. Bye!

APPLAUSE

-Go and have a snack.

-Go and have a snack, yeah!

Pierce, as captain, you must select three to face the Copycats Challenge.

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

-Mr D, what could it be?

-The Drop.

As before, a coloured rod will be displayed on the screen.

Players remove the corresponding rod while trying to avoid

any of the balls dropping.

Ten points are awarded for every rod pulled out

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

OK, then, best of luck team. In three, two, one, pull!

So, it's Auntie Angela.

Starting us off, looking for a yellow rod.

Which she pulls out immediately. Brilliant.

Next, it's Pierce, the team captain.

Black. Well done to him as well.

Next, it's Pierce's friend, Amy.

She pulls out one of the red rods, well done. They're going quickly.

Next, it's Angela, with another red. There we go, well done.

Pierce next. Black. Oh, Careful, careful.

Two of the balls have fallen.

Don't forget, ten points are deducted every time a ball drops.

Yellow for Amy. Well done, Amy.

Angela next, to remove one of the yellow rods.

Careful Yep. Another one has fallen.

Red for Pierce.

Which is halfway out, anyway. That was nice and easy.

Next is a black rod for Amy. Well done, Amy.

Angela next, yellow.

Which one are you going to choose? That one, very good. Very good.

Next, Pierce.

Races round to pull the black rod out, very clever, well done.

Amy, one of the red ones, please. Gently does it.

Don't want any more balls to drop. Oh! There they go.

Next, yellow for Angela.

Happy Angela. Is she going to choose the right one? Yes! Excellent.

Take your time now!

12 seconds left, come on!

Pierce, black. Come on!

You've got to choose which one to remove.

Come on, gently does it. Not too many balls falling!

Time's up, time's up!

APPLAUSE

Not bad at all.

Well done, guys.

There's only one more round before we add those challenge points

to your total and reveal which team will play for the Copycats trophy.

-It's harder than it looks, isn't it?

-Yes.

Well done, give it up for Pierce's team, everybody.

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

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

to the player next to you using the world-famous Copycats kazoo.

Which you are holding in your hand right now.

Could everybody except for Lucy put their headphones on?

So you do not hear which song is selected, thank you.

OK, our Copycats look ready. Let's close the doors.

APPLAUSE

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

-Orange, please.

-Orange.

Look at that.

Do you know what that is?

LAUGHTER

It's fine, because we are going to play it into the studio,

so you can get the melody in your head. Have a listen to this.

MUSIC: Barbra Streisand by Duck Sauce

# Barbra Streisand #

OK, best of luck, Lucy. Ready, steady, play. Open the door.

OK, Ricky.

Well done, yes.

OK, Louise.

OK.

Stop playing!

APPLAUSE

For a lot of you, that was the longest ten seconds of your life.

For a maximum of 50 points, Siobhan, any idea what Olivia was playing?

-Abba, Dancing Queen?

-It's not, unfortunately.

-Let's open the doors, for 40 points. Olivia?

-Wanted, Glad You Came?

Glad You Came by The Wanted, it's a great song,

but it's not the song we're looking for.

For 30 points, Louise, you know this, I know you do.

Is it... Duck Soup, Barbara Streisand?

Yes!

MUSIC: Barbra Streisand by Duck Sauce

# Barbra Streisand #

Lucy, you did brilliantly.

You were a bit nervous, I could tell. But you did really well!

Tonia's team get themselves 30 points! Well done.

-Adam, we've got two songs left. Which would like?

-The green one.

The green one. Take a look.

-Do you know that song?

-Er...

Kind of...

Don't worry. We're going to play it into the studio.

Have a good listen and get the melody in your head.

# I see you driving 'round town

# With the girl I love and I'm like

# Forget you!

# Ooh-ooh-ooh!

# I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough

# I'm like, forget you And forget her, too! #

Great tune. Best of luck, Adam.

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

Very good.

Very good, very good.

Kelly, your turn!

OK, Amy, go for it!

Time's up. Stop the madness!

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

Don't Stop Believing?

It's not Don't Stop Believing. Which means we're playing for 40 points.

-Amy?

-Born this way?

Born this way, by Lady Gaga. It's not.

-That means we're in playing for 30 points, Kelly?

-Umbrella, Rihanna?

It's not Umbrella. Which means we're playing for 20 points.

Is it Bad Romance?

It's not Bad Romance. I've got to say, Pierce did a cracking version.

OK, playing for ten points. Pierce, I know you know this.

Don't Forget You by Cee-lo Green?

That's the one, Forget You, yes!

# I see you driving 'round town

# with the girl I love and I'm like

# Forget you!

# Ooh-ooh-ooh #

Ten points are better than no points. Give them a round of applause!

APPLAUSE

OK. So, after three rounds,

Pierce's team have 70 points,

and Tonia's team have 50 points.

OK. Consistent scoring in the Pass It On games, but,

-and it's a big but...

-Oh? Yep.

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

Which team destroyed the drop, which team are going to the Ball Room.

Thank you, the wait is over.

I can reveal that one team got

-50 points in the challenge. Not bad.

-AUDIENCE: Oooh!

I can also reveal that one team got...

-50 points in the Challenge.

-AUDIENCE: Oooh!

Interesting.

Which means, the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

Pierce's team!

Which means, unfortunately, we've got to say goodbye to Tonia's team.

-Have you had a good time?

-TOGETHER: Yes!

You've been fantastic. Give it up one more time for Tonia's team!

OK, Pierce's team, you've made it this far.

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. Don't laugh!

AUDIENCE: Ooh!

OK, here is the Ball Room. Pierce, who have you chosen to take part?

Me, my friend, Adam, and my auntie, Nicola. Excellent.

Well, before we open the doors, let's look at what you must do to win this!

The Ball Room.

You 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!

Good luck, guys. In three, two, one...

EVERYONE: Blast the balls!

In the Ball Room are Adam, Pierce's friend,

Pierce, the team captain, in the middle

and Nicola, Pierce's auntie.

Catching as many balls as they can. They have to be green, remember.

25 we're looking for, any rogue balls are deducted.

There we are, that's good. Three in already.

Quickly, though.

Ha, the agony on Pierce's face.

30 seconds gone, as quickly as you can.

You need lots of green balls.

Ah, come on, Adam, you can do this. That's it, well done.

One went in there, for Adam.

Another green one going in, this is good.

But, will it be enough, quickly as you can, guys.

The expressions on their faces.

That's it! Good, good, good.

Come on, time's running out. Fast as you can! Fast as you can!

HORN

It's a tough game, tough game.

OK, the balls have been counted and the result checked and verified.

You needed 25 green balls to win the trophy.

I can reveal that you collected...

...19 green balls.

So, unfortunately, that means you won't get your hands on the trophy

but we'll give you Copycats T-shirts. All right?

APPLAUSE

-Good.

-Did you enjoy yourselves?

-TOGETHER: Yes!

Give it up for Pierce's family!

I can't believe it, that is the end of the show.

Kid, are you sad it's the end of the show?

Don't be happy about it, be sad!

Get out!

See you next time on Copycats!

Bye!
