Episode 29 Copycats

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

'And today's Copycats are

Eden's team from Lewisham,

'and Catherine's team from Manchester.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

BOTH: Hello!

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

-Oh, yes. Hey, Mark, guess what?

-What?

I have booked a pod on the London Eye.

Flowers, chocolates, sparkling mineral water.

Better get my special shirt ready, then.

-It's not for you.

-What?

No, I'm going on a hot date, but I need some romantic music.

As one of your closest friends, it's only right I help you out.

Close your eyes. Bah!

Right, your date's going really well.

You think this is the girl for you, the only one for you.

If only you had some romantic music.

PLAYS SILLY TUNE

Let's meet the teams.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Catherine's team over here.

Catherine, team captain, want to introduce the rest of the gang?

This is Corinne, my friend. This is my other friend Thalia.

Then Carmel over there, who's my other friend.

And there's my mum, Denise, and Corinne's mum, Rachel.

Lovely to have you here. You excited?

THEY ALL CHEER

Fantastic. You going to look after me, being all girls, and stuff?

You know we'll look after you.

Lovely. Give it up for Catherine's team, everyone!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

THEY ALL CHEER

Eden, team captain, introduce the gang.

This is my brother Tyrell, here's my other brother, Skai,

there's my sister, Tia, my mum Carine and my dad Wayne.

Lovely to have you here. Are you all right?

ALL: Yeah!

Looking forward to it? ALL: Yes!

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

ALL: Yeah!

OK, best luck for today. Give it up for Eden's team.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

A feisty bunch on our hands today! I love it.

Our teams are ready to start copying.

As with every game,

the teams will 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 later on,

and the chance to win the Copycats trophy.

CHEERING

You know it.

We tossed a coin, and Catherine's team are going to play first.

Let's play Copycats!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Catherine's team.

I hope you've got your artistic skills,

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

Rachel, I've got three cards. You'll pick one,

then you have ten seconds

to draw what's on that card for Catherine,

and so on and so on, down the line.

There's a maximum of 50 points for this round,

but as you pass it back down, you'll lose ten points

for every incorrect answer. You ready?

-ALL: Yeah!

-All right, let's close the doors.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

-Purple, please.

-OK.

-SHE LAUGHS:

-OK.

-A nervous laugh, there. OK, best of luck.

-Thank you.

Ready, steady, draw.

Catherine, your turn.

Carmel, your turn.

OK Thalia, your turn.

Good copying.

Corinne, your turn.

Stop drawing!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right!

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

-It's a tree.

-It is NOT a tree.

If it's not a tree, what could it be?

Candy floss?

Good guess, but it's not candy floss.

Thalia, have a look at Carmel's drawing there.

What else could it be?

-Broccoli.

-It could be, and it is! Well done!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right!

You get yourselves 30 points. Well done. Nice work.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Wayne, you look a bit nervous.

-Just a bit.

-You'll be fine, mate.

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

-I'd like this card here.

-Orange, take a look.

-Lovely.

-Think you can draw that?

-I'm sure I can.

OK, you got ten seconds. The best of luck. Ready, steady, draw!

Wow! Very good.

Ten seconds, not a long time. As much detail as you can.

OK, Tia, your turn.

OK, Tyrell, your turn.

Carine, your turn.

Time's up! Stop drawing.

OK. Quite a tough one, this.

Quite a tough one.

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

Is it a builder?

It's not a builder, which means we're playing for 40 points.

Carine, what do you reckon?

A parachute.

Oh, nice thinking.

It's not, unfortunately. We're playing for 30 points. Tyrell?

Is it a pirate?

It's not! We're playing for 20 points. Tia, what do you reckon?

A scarecrow.

Oh, it's not!

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

-That is a fantastic drawing. What do you reckon?

-A man.

-A man?!

SAM LAUGHS

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

-Broomstick! Witch!

-It's a witch! Oh!

Pointy hat, broomstick!

That means you don't get any points.

But don't worry, it's only the first round.

Give them a round of applause!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, after Quick On The Draw,

was that a healthy performance from Catherine's team!

Always eat your greens!

And have Eden's team lost their magic touch? Hee-hee-hee!

-Good witch impression!

-It was good, yeah.

Let's find out the scores. Mr D, what could they be?

BOTH LAUGH

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

'and Catherine's team have 30 points.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Early days, team.

-Early.

-Early days.

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

The game just got serious. This is the Copycats Challenge.

Because my team won the toss, they will be going first.

My team, so you don't get a peek of the challenge,

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

Go and practise your witch drawings. See you later! Bye!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Catherine, as team captain, you now need to pick three people

to face the magnificent Copycats Challenge.

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

Mr D, what could it be?

'The Bounce. Five shapes will be shown on the screen.

'Players must copy the sequence whilst bouncing on the trampoline.

'Ten points are awarded for every shape in the correct order.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Catherine. Here comes your sequence.

'The Egyptian.

'The cannonball.

'The funky chicken.

'Air guitar.

OK. If you're ready, shape one.

-Egyptian.

-Shape two.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Now, remember, we'll add those challenge points to your score

after the music round.

Eden's team still need to face the challenge.

The points from the challenge can make all the difference,

because a dream ticket to the ballroom is at stake.

Give it up for Catherine's team. Well done.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

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

You'll have ten seconds to mime whatever is on that card

to the player next to you, Wayne, and so on down the line.

50 points are up for grabs,

but you will lose ten points

for every incorrect answer going back down the line.

You know the rules. Copycats, are you ready?

ALL: Yes!

All right! Let's close the doors.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Eden. We've got three cards. Which would you like?

-Can I have orange, please?

-Of course. There you go.

Reckon you can do that?

SAM LAUGHS

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

Perfect! Wayne.

SAM LAUGHS

Carine, your turn.

Nice. Tia, your turn.

Very good. Skai, your turn.

Time's up! Stop miming.

Very good. Very good miming, down the line.

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

-Erm, is it someone putting contact lenses in?

-Yay!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Nice work, Eden!

Well done, guys. You get yourselves the full 50 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-I've got two cards left, which would you like?

-Take purple?

-Purple.

Have a look at that.

-Marvellous.

-Oh, "marvellous"! I like that.

Best of luck. Ready, steady, mime! Open the door.

Corinne.

OK, Denise.

Catherine, your turn.

Rachel.

And stop miming!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well, that was interesting!

OK, for a maximum 50 points,

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

Making a pot, or something.

It is not making a pot. I know what you mean.

Let's open the door. 40 points, Rachel, any idea?

Icing a cake?

It wasn't icing a cake.

Let's open the door. 30 points. Catherine?

Polishing a table?

It wasn't polishing a table.

Open the door. For 20 points.

Any idea what Corinne was doing, there?

Moulding cheese?

Sorry.

It's not exactly what I've got on the card. I'm not going to lie.

Open the door. For 10 points, Corinne, any idea?

Was it hairdressing?

Yay!

CHEERING

Oh, well done!

Polishing the table and moulding cheese.

To be fair, I don't know how it got to that point, but hey,

don't worry about it, you still get yourselves ten points. Well done!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, after Mime Time, are Eden's team eyeing up the Ball Room?

Oh, good, yeah, cos of the... Yeah.

And are Catherine's team having a bad hair day?

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

'Well, Mark, after Mime Time, Eden's team have 50 points,

'and Catherine's team have 40 points.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Ooh, ooh!

-Interesting!

-It's close!

-Ten points here, ten points there.

We don't know! Ah, OK, shut up. It's time to get serious once again,

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

Eden, it's your chance to attempt to add some crucial points

to your score. Are you ready?

-Yeah!

-BOTH: Yeah!

-Catherine's team, it's time to leave.

Off you go! We will be seeing you later! Bye!

APPLAUSE

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

to face the Copycats Challenge,

but before that, let's see what's in store.

Nice splits! Nice splits, Tia. OK, there is 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.

Give it up for Eden's team!

Well done, guys!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Catherine's team, and welcome to the Music Round.

Now Catherine, all you're going to need to do is pick a well-known tune

and then recreate that tune to the player next to you,

Rachel, using the world-famous Copycats kazoo.

Have you been practicing?

No!

You liar! All right, everybody, except Catherine, please put

their headphones on so you do not hear which song is being selected.

Thank you.

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

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-It'll be fine, Catherine.

-The purple one, please.

-Purple.

Have a look at that.

-You know that one?

-Yeah, yeah.

-Kind of?

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

Have a listen to this.

MUSIC: "Pump It" by Black Eyed Peas.

-Cool, got it in your head?

-Yeah.

OK, ready, steady, play! Come on, Catherine!

SHE MIMICS SONG WITH KAZOO

OK, come on, Rachel.

What a note!

LAUGHTER

Tremendous!

Go on, Carmel!

-Stop playing!

-CHEERING

Well, I was entertained! Corinne, for a maximum of 50 points...

-Someone Like You?

-Ah, good song!

-I don't have any idea!

It is not Someone Like You. Let's open the door for 40 points.

Was it Coronation Street theme?

It is not the Coronation Street theme. OK, for 30.

-Telephone, Lady Gaga?

-It is not Telephone, Lady Gaga.

Let's open the door, 20 points.

-Thalia.

-Uh, California Gurls?

It is not California Gurls by Katy Perry.

Finally, for ten points. This was difficult actually! OK, any idea?

Dr Who theme tune?

It is not the Doctor Who theme tune.

-Catherine, tell us.

-Pump It Up by Black Eyed Peas.

-Have a listen!

# Come on, baby Just pump it

# Louder!

-# Pump it

-Louder!

-# Pump it... #

-Granted, that was difficult!

You don't get any points but well done for trying.

-Give them a round of applause.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

-Green one.

Green one. Take a look.

-Do you know that song?

-Yeah.

We're going to play it into the studio, so have a good listen

and get the melody. Let's hear it.

MUSIC: "Louder" by DJ Fresh

OK, good luck. You've got ten seconds. Ready, steady, play!

HE MIMICS MUSIC WITH KAZOO

Very good!

Very good!

OK, Carine.

OK, time's up! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right! Not bad! It's not bad going down the line.

WAYNE HUMS TUNE

Wayne, for 50 points, what do you think?

Star Wars theme tune!

It's not, unfortunately, which means we're playing for 40 points. Carine.

The theme tune to Coronation Street? It's not even that, is it?

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

-Skai?

-Was it the Superman song?

It wasn't, which means you're playing for 20 points. Tia?

Is it Louder by DJ Fresh?

It is, ya-a-ay!

# It's gonna get It's gonna get louder... #

Well done, well done!

Very well played. Well done, guys!

You get yourselves 20 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'Right, so after three rounds, Eden's team have 70 points,

'and Catherine's team have 40 points.'

Some good and bad performances in the Pass It On rounds but,

and it's a big but, we still have to reveal the scores

from the Copycats Challenge.

Which team beat the Bounce,

and which team have a one-way ticket to the Ball Room. Mark.

Thank you, Sam. The wait is over. I can reveal that one team got...

60 points in the challenge.

Not bad at all.

I can also reveal that one team got...

110 points.

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

Catherine's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So unfortunately, that means we have to say goodbye to Eden's team.

It was close in the end. Really close!

Guys, have you enjoyed yourselves?

-TEAM:

-Yes!

-You've been a fantastic team.

Give it up for Eden's team, everybody!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Catherine's team, congratulations, you've made it this far,

but now it's time to compete for the fabulous, money can't buy,

limited edition, lovely, shiny, well, it will be shiny

when Mark finishes polishing it,

springy thing that is the Copycats trophy!

-AUDIENCE:

-Woo!

-I'm polishing it cos Rachel said it looked dusty, OK?

It was a bit, to be fair!

All right, Catherine's team, here is the Ball Room.

OK, team captain, Catherine, who have you chosen to play?

Me, Thalia, and Carmel. All right, well, 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 balls collected will be deducted from the total.

'Good luck!'

CHEERING

OK, if you're ready, in three, two, one, blast the balls!

'Carmel's doing a little bit of a dance in there!

'It's Carmel, Catherine and Thalia, catching as many balls as they can.

'Green ones, please. 25 in all.

'That's what we need in the scoring cylinder.

'Don't forget, any rogue balls will be deducted.

'This for the Copycats trophy, then. Quickly as you can, girls!

'You've now got 22 seconds left. Come on, quickly, quickly!

'Not doing too badly though. This is good.

'Faster, faster! Oh, was that a red one going down there?

'We will check that in a moment!

'Let's see. Yes, it was! Now that will be deducted, so come on!

'Got to work harder now! Five seconds left! Quickly as you can!

'Come on, come on, come on!'

HORN BLARES

CHEERING

OK, well done, guys. Good effort!

-Unfortunately, a red ball did enter the box of truth.

-Oh, no!

Which means we have to deduct that from your final total.

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

You need 25 green balls to win the trophy.

I can reveal that you collected...

Twenty-y-y-y...

seven!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-I'm afraid I've got some bad news.

-What?

-It's the end of the show, innit?

-No!

-Aww, look at this sad face!

-Sad, aren't you?

-Don't worry!

-Sadder than that!

-Sadder than that!

Right, we'll see you next time on Copycats. Wave to that camera.
