Episode 31 Copycats

.

Welcome to Copycats, with your hosts Sam and Mark.

Today's Copycats are Ellie's team from Liverpool

and Maddie's team from Dudley.

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

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

-What do you think of the new producer?

-I've not met him.

I'm meeting him later. How will I recognise him?

He's Scottish, stylish and auburn. His words, not mine.

So I'm looking for someone

who's a cross between Billy Connolly, Gok Wan and Anne Robinson.

He sounds fit as!

Anyway, today's teams can win the ultimate prize.

It is, of course, the Copycats trophy.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Shall we meet the teams?

-Let's do it.

Maddie's team, yeah!

-And where are you from?

-ALL:

-Dudley!

Which is where I live, so you can understand what I'm saying! Yay!

Maddie, introduce the rest of the gang.

This is my best friend Charlie and my other best friend Alicia.

This is my mum Joanne and my nan Marion and my granddad Graham.

-Are you up for it?

-Yeah!

-Are you going to win it for me?

-Yes!

Give it up for Maddie's team, everyone.

-I'm outnumbered today! OK, here we've got Ellie's team! ALL:

-Yay!

Introduce the gang for us.

This is my best friend Hannah and my other best friend Tatum.

This is my mum Vanessa, this is Bernadette and this is Auntie Anne.

Excellent. Give yourselves a round of applause! I like that!

-Are you raring to go? ALL:

-Yes!

-And are you going to win it for me?

-Yes!

The best of luck. Give it up for Ellie's team!

It looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

The teams copy pictures, actions and displays of musical genius.

Each team will take turns to face the Copycats Challenge later on.

Maddie's team are going to be playing first. Let's play Copycats.

OK, 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.

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

for the player next to you and so on.

Any good at drawing? Good. That's all I need to know. Yep, I am.

There is a maximum of 50 points to be won.

As we go back down the line,

you'll lose ten points for every wrong answer.

-Are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Let's close the doors.

Alicia, I've got three cards. Which one would you like? Oh, purple, OK.

Yeah? You know that? The best of luck. Ready, steady, draw.

OK, Joanne, your turn.

Maddie's nodding. That's always a good sign.

Graham, your turn.

Charlie, your turn.

Stop drawing. OK.

For a maximum of 50 points, Marion, any idea of the answer on my card?

-Is it a pumpkin?

-Yes!

Good start. Alicia, that is a brilliant drawing,

considering you've got ten seconds.

That's a lot of detail and you get off to the perfect start!

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

-Green.

-Take a look.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-Yes.

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

Ready, steady, draw.

Not bad. Tatum, your turn.

Ellie, your turn.

HE LAUGHS

OK, Bernadette, your turn.

Time's up. Stop drawing. Not bad at all.

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

-It's a bird.

We need to be slightly more specific.

Sorry, I'm going to have to move on to the next one. Any idea?

-A penguin?

-It's not a penguin. We're playing for 30 points.

-A chick.

-It's not a chick. We're playing for 20 points.

-A duck.

-It's not a duck.

-We're playing for 10 points. Tatum?

-A sparrow?

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

-Robin redbreast.

-It's a robin redbreast.

-We wouldn't have known, would we?

-Sorry.

That is really difficult, especially when you've not got a coloured pen.

That means you don't get any points, but there's still a long way to go.

Give them a round of applause.

So, have Maddie's team scared the opposition?

Are Ellie's team missing a Batman? Think about it. They've got it!

Mr D, let's look at the scores.

After Quick On The Draw, Ellie's team have no points

and Maddie's team have 50 points.

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

-This is the Copycats Challenge.

-My team will be going first.

My team, so you don't get a sneaky peek, we're going to send you off.

See you later. Say bye to Ellie's team. See you later, guys.

Enjoy your time off.

-Look what I've got going on here.

-That's interesting.

Maddie, you need to select three people to face the formidable

Copycats Challenge.

Let's find out what's in store. Mr D, what could it be?

The Rings - players will be given three rings.

They must throw all three at the corresponding coloured rod.

Ten points are awarded for every successful throw.

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

Charlie to start, then, aiming at the white rod.

Try again. Second one. Yes, that's good! And the third one? No.

Just went wide.

This is Alicia, aiming at the blue rod at the far side. Quite tricky.

Team captain Maddie, aiming at the green. Look at that go!

Excellent! OK. We've got two. OK, Charlie. The red.

Right in the middle. A bit too high. Almost.

How about this one? Yes! Brilliant! Alicia. The yellow.

Try again. Three rings each time, of course.

Maddie next on the green. It's the first one.

Very nearly. And the third one? No.

Charlie. Blue.

It is hard. It's right on the far side.

The rings are flying across the studio.

Alicia. White, you're aiming for. Come on, Alicia.

In a bit. Oh, not to worry. OK, Maddie on yellow.

Ooh, hit the rod, though. And that did as well.

OK, Charlie. Try the red. it's in the middle there.

Look at the concentration on that face. Oh!

OK, very quickly, running out of time. Five seconds. Alicia. White.

Well done! That was great.

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

Ellie's team still need to face the Copycats Challenge.

A dream ticket to the Ball Room is at stake.

Give it up for Maddie's team.

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

Hannah, I've got three cards.

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

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

but you will lose ten for every incorrect answer.

-Copycats, are you ready? ALL:

-Yes!

-Let's close the doors.

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

The purple one. Have a look.

Think you can do that? OK, you've got ten seconds. Best of luck.

Ready, steady, mime.

Good one. Ellie, your turn.

All right, time to spare.

Nice. Bernadette.

OK, Tatum.

Time's up. Stop miming. OK.

Interesting one.

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

-Skiing.

It's not skiing. Which means we're playing for 40 points. Tatum?

-Rowing a boat?

-I'm not being mean. You're so close.

You need to be slightly more specific.

-Bernadette.

-Canoeing.

-Yes!

Well done, Bernadette. You get yourselves 30 points.

-Joanne, two cards left, which one would you like?

-I'll have the green.

Have a look at that.

Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Best of luck, Joanne. Ready, steady, mime. Open the door.

Go on, Maddie.

Marion, your turn.

Charlie, your turn.

Graham, your turn.

Stop miming.

It's a tough one, actually.

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

-Wiping something off the floor?

-It is not. Good guess, though.

-Graham, any idea?

-Planting flowers?

-Yes!

You get yourselves 40 points. Well done!

So are Ellie's team paddling their way to the Ball Room?

Is everything coming up roses for Maddie's team?

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

After Mime Time, Ellie's team have 30 points

and Maddie's team have 90 points.

OK, Ellie's team are going to face the Copycats Challenge.

It's your chance to add some points to your score. Are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Nice.

-Maddie's team, it's time for you to leave

-for the time being. Say goodbye to Maddie's team, everyone.

-Bye.

-They sound like you, them.

-They do, don't they?

Ellie, you need to select three people to face the Challenge.

Let's see what's in store for you. Mr D, what could it be?

The Rings - players will be given three rings.

They must throw all three at the corresponding coloured rod.

Ten points are awarded for every successful throw.

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

It's time to find out how good your aim is.

Team captain Ellie to start on the white. Not quite there.

And the third? No luck. OK, let's try the blue one.

Ellie's Auntie Anne has a go at the blue one.

It's right on the far side. She's done it, though! Good!

Green next for Bernadette. Yes! That's another! And another!

Red for Ellie.

Oh, Ellie! Oh, so near.

Hitting the rod each time, pretty much. OK, yellow for Anne.

Go on, Anne. Oh, so close. Wow! Green for Bernadette.

Bernadette has a good aim,

but didn't quite make it there, though. Blue next for Ellie.

Those rings are going right across the studio floor.

Next, it's white for Anne. Go on, Anne. That one was so close.

Very close. All right, yellow for Bernadette.

Get them on! Absolutely!

Red next for Ellie. Right in the middle.

Oh, hit the top. OK. The white one for Anne.

Come on, Anne. A little bit nearer, that's it.

We're running out of time, guys. Come on. Just a few seconds left.

Green for Bernadette, it's there! Can we get one more?

Let's see if we can.

I love that you just went, "Oh, I'll throw it anyway," and it went on!

Brilliant! We can't count that last one.

Anne, high five for getting the hardest one as well.

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

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

Give it up for Ellie's team.

Welcome back, Maddie's team. This is the music round.

Now, all you've got to do is pick a well-known tune and then recreate

that tune to the player next to you on the world famous Copycats kazoo.

-Maddie, you any good on the kazoo, darling?

-I don't know.

We're going to find out.

It's time for everybody except for Maddie to put headphones on

so you don't hear which song has been selected. Thank you.

Our Copycats look ready, let's close the doors!

APPLAUSE

OK, Maddie. Got three cards here for you, which one would you like?

OK, the green one. Got that in your head? You know it? Fantastic.

We are going to play it into the studio

so you can get it into your head.

# Cos you're hot then you're cold You're yes then you're no

# You're in then you're out You're up then you're down

# You're wrong when it's right it's black and it's white

# We fight, we break up we kiss, we make up. #

Great song. Best of luck, Maddie. Ready, steady, play. Open the door.

SHE PLAYS THE TUNE ACCURATELY

Brilliant, go on, Joanne.

SHE PLAYS THE TUNE WELL

OK, your turn.

SHE MISSES SOME NOTES IN THE TUNE

OK, Marion.

SHE PLAYS A RANDOM TUNE

Your turn.

SHE PLAYS ANOTHER TUNE

Stop playing!

APPLAUSE

That's a lovely tune. OK, very musical team here.

For a maximum 50 points, what are we looking for?

We Will Rock You.

Ah, it's not We Will Rock You. Good guess, though. Let's open the door.

-40 points, any idea?

-YMCA?

-It is not YMCA.

Let's open the door. For 30 points, Marion?

-EastEnders theme tune.

-It is not the EastEnders theme tune.

-Let's open the door for 20 points.

-Was it Shake It?

It is not Shake It.

Let's open the door.

Maddie did a brilliant job here for ten points, any idea?

I could sing it but I can't think what it's called.

# You're black and it's white We kiss we make up

# Wrong and it's right... #

Keep singing!

# We break up We kiss, we make up. #

You've got the right song,

but unfortunately we have to get the right answer.

-Maddie, go on, tell us.

-It was Hot N Cold by Katy Perry.

Hot N Cold, let's have a listen!

# Cos you're hot then you're cold You're yes then you're no

# You're in then you're out You're up then you're down

# You're wrong then you're... #

Unlucky. That was brilliant, brilliant playing, Maddie,

I must say, but unfortunately you don't get any points.

Well done for trying, give them a round of applause.

APPLAUSE

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

-Purple.

Purple, take a look. Do you know that song? Awesome.

We are going to play it into the studio as well,

so have a good listen. Let's hear it.

# Let's just get back together We should've never broke up

# They're telling me that my heart won't beat again

# We should've stayed together...

Beat Again by JLS. Best of luck.

You've got ten seconds - Ready, steady, play!

SHE PLAYS THE TUNE ACCURATELY

Perfect playing.

SHE PLAYS THE TUNE LESS ACCURATELY

OK, Ellie, your turn.

SHE STRUGGLES TO GET THE RIGHT TUNE

OK, Vanessa.

SHE PLAYS A DIFFERENT TUNE

SHE PLAYS SOMETHING ELSE

Time's up, stop playing.

APPLAUSE

OK. For a maximum of 50, what do you think the answer is?

Greased Lightning.

Greased Lightning, it's not Greased Lightning.

-We're playing for 40 points, Anne.

-Hey Jude.

Hey Jude, cracking song, but it's not Hey Jude.

-Which means we are playing for 30 points. Vanessa, any idea?

-Hound Dog?

It's not Hound Dog, so we're playing for 20 points. Ellie?

Baby.

It's not Baby by Justin Bieber,

which means we're playing for ten points. I've got to say,

-Tatum did a cracking job and so did you. Any idea?

-Let's Dance.

It's not Let's Dance. Tatum did a fantastic job.

-Tatum, do you want to tell everybody?

-JLS, Beat Again.

-Let's hear it!

# Let's just get back together we should've never broke up

# They're telling me that my heart won't beat again. #

Tatum, high five. You were cracking on that. You were very good.

Unfortunately, you don't get any points in this round,

but give them a round of applause anyway.

APPLAUSE

Right, so, after three rounds,

Ellie's team have 30 points and Maddie's team have 90 points.

Good effort from both teams in the pass it on rounds,

but we still have to 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 30 points in the challenge.

I can also reveal that one team got 40 points,

which means the team going through to the Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

Maddie's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Unfortunately, that means we have to say goodbye to Ellie's team.

-Have you had a good time?

-Yes.

-You've been a lovely team.

Give it up for Ellie's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

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

limited-edition, lovely, shiny, springy thing

that is the Copycats trophy!

OK, Maddie, here is the Ball Room.

Who have you chosen to play the Ball Room?

Me, Charlie and my mum.

Right, before we open the doors,

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

Don't kiss it again.

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.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Good luck, team. In three, two, one, blast the balls!

Here we go, then, for the Copycats trophy.

Charlie, Maddie's best friend. Maddie, team captain

and Joanne, Maddie's mum. They're all in there.

They are catching, as quickly as they can,

as many of the green balls as they can find.

They mustn't pick them up off the Ball Room floor.

A few in there already. They need to work fast.

The time runs out very, very quickly.

Another couple going in there.

The game's all about hand-eye coordination, really.

It's all about catching. They've got less than 30 seconds, team.

Don't just stand there! Come on, move!

Come on, Charlie. Watch them.

Look at that. Look.

There's nothing happening near the tube, come on!

Into that cylinder, that's it. You need more than that, come on!

Faster, faster! Are we going to do this?

HORN BLARES AND AUDIENCE APPLAUD

Cracking effort, cracking effort.

OK, the balls have been counted

and the result has been checked and verified.

You needed 25 green balls to win this trophy.

I can reveal that you collected...

..19 green balls.

Guys, unfortunately that means you're not going to get your hands on

the Copycats trophy, but we are going to give you some Copycats t-shirts.

-All right? Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-Brilliant.

-Fantastic.

Give it up for Maddie's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well, that's it. That's the end of the show.

-Aww, better put this back in the safe, then.

-Make sure you do that.

We'll see you next time on Copycats! Bye!
