Episode 33 Copycats

'Welcome to Copycats with your hosts Sam and Mark.

'And today's Copycats are...

'Tanya's team from Leamington Spa

'and Joe's team, from Chester.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-BOTH:

-Hello!

Welcome to Copycats, the gameshow where copying is good.

Yes, the whole point of our show is to copy the person next to you

to get maximum points and beat the other team to the Ball Room.

-"What's the Ball Room?", I hear you ask.

-A roomful of balls.

Yes, I know. But it's also the place you could win this...

-AUDIENCE:

-Woo!

Why'd you ask what the Ball Room was if you already know?

Shut your face! Let's meet the teams!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

-ALL:

-Yes!

Tanya, team captain, introduced the rest of the guys.

This is my friend, Isabel, and this is my friend, Dolcie.

This is my mum, Kay, and this is Isabel's dad, Chris.

-This is my drama teacher, Jo.

-Excellent.

-Lovely to have you all here. Are you excited?

-Yeah!

-Good.

-More importantly, you going to win this thing for me today?

-Yeah!

That's what we want. Good luck. Give it up for Tanya's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Guys, you'd have a good chance if we didn't have Joe's team here!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Joe, team captain, introduce the rest of the gang.

-This is Tom, my friend. This is Sophie, Tom's mum.

-Hello!

-This is Thomas, my cousin.

-Hello.

This is Diane, my auntie. This is Sue, my mum.

Lovely to have you here. Guys, I can see the intensity in your faces.

-You going to win this for me today?

-ALL: Yes!

-Going to stop old Smuggy McSmuggerson over there?

-ALL: Yes!

Good. Give it up for Joe's team! Come on!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Smuggy McSmuggerson?

-Been working on that.

-Trash talk! I like it!

Looks like our teams are ready to start.

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.

We tossed a coin before the show and Joe's team, my team,

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

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

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

Sophie, three cards in my hand. Pick one of these.

You then have 10 seconds to draw

what's on the card for the player next to you,

and so on, down the line.

-Any good at drawing?

-Yes!

-Good! Confident!

A maximum of 50 points to be won in this round, but as we pass it

back down the line, you lose ten points for every wrong answer.

-Understand?

-Yes.

-Are you ready?

-ALL: Yes!

Right, let's close the doors.

-All right, Sophie?

-I'm fine.

-Three cards, which one would you like?

-Go for that one.

-Just like your top. Lovely.

-Let's have a look.

-OK.

-Got that in your head?

-Yeah.

OK. Best of luck.

Ready, steady, draw! Open the door.

OK, Tom.

Got a thumbs up, there, from Diane.

OK, Sue, your turn.

Nice little move, Sue, like it!

OK, Ton, it's your turn, mate.

OK, stop drawing!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Not bad copying, down the line. For a maximum of 50 points, Joe,

any idea the answer that we're looking for on the card?

Is it a light bulb?

It's very close. Open the door.

-For 40 points.

-Is it a torch?

-Yes!

APPLAUSE

Excellent! That's a great drawing!

I thought it was turning into a rocket ship, I'm not going to lie!

But you did brilliantly. Joe's team, you get 40 points!

CHEERING

-Dolcie, two cards, which one would you like?

-Purple.

Take a look.

OK.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-Hopefully!

-I hope so too.

Ten seconds, best of luck. Ready, steady, draw!

Not bad. Chris, your turn.

OK, time's up.

Time's up.

OK. Tanya's turn.

Time's up.

Very good!

Very good copying, down the line. Quite a difficult one.

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

A lemon?

CHEERING

Well done, guys!

That's really difficult to try and get in as much detail as you can.

It's a lemon! What do you do, man? Well done.

You get yourselves the full 50 points!

CHEERING

After Quick On The Draw,

was that an illuminating performance from Joe's team?

And was that a zesty performance from Tanya's team?

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

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

'and Joe's team have 40 points!'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

10 in it. 10 in it.

-What?

-Dunno.

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

The game just got serious, because this is the Copycats Challenge.

-My team won the toss, they'll go first.

-My team,

so you don't peek, we're going to send you off.

-Don't worry, you will be coming back. See you later.

-Bye!

Bye! Off you go.

Off you go.

Lovely. Lovely people.

Joe, you need to select three people to face the Copycats Challenge.

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

'The Drop.

'An image of a coloured rod will be displayed on the screen.

'Players remove the corresponding rod, trying to avoid balls dropping.

'10 points are awarded for every rod pulled out,

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

Guys, best of luck. If you're ready, three, two, one, pull!

'We're off and running! Team captain, Joe, to get us started.

'One of the black rods. Superbly done. Next, Joe's friend, Tom.

'Red one, good. Joe's auntie, Diane, pulls out one of the yellow rods.

'This is going well. Joe, this time a black rod, please, if you would.

'Well done. Next, Tom,

'one of the red ones. Yes.

'These guys are doing well!

'Diane, red one, careful, runs all the way round.

'Pulls another one out. Yeah, good.

'Next, yellow for Joe.

'Come on, well done!

'Black next, for Tom.

'I thought he knew which one he was going for.

'He's changed his mind. Good choice, though.

'Next, it's Diane, yellow. Another good choice.

'Red next.

'Joe, come on, choose wisely! Those balls are moving.

'One of them has dropped. Don't forget, 10 points deducted

'each time a ball drops.

'You need more rods than balls, basically.

'Two more have fallen. Diane, next. A black rod

'to be removed, please, without any more balls falling.

'What is going to happen? Oh, another few!

'We've only got a few seconds left. 10 seconds...

'Quickly as you can, Joe. He is looking for advice.

'Is that the one to remove? Another ball's fallen. Next, Tom.

'Quickly, Tom! Make a start.'

OK, stop!

Not bad at all. Very strategic. I liked it. Remember,

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

Tanya's team need to face this challenge.

Those points could make the difference -

a ticket to the Ball Room is at stake. Give it up for Joe's team.

CHEERING

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

Tanya, three cards in my hand. Pick one,

you have ten seconds to mime what's on the card

to the person next to you, and so one, down the line.

Remember, silent performances.

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

but you lose 10 points for every incorrect answer

going back down the line. Are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes!

Awesome! Let's close the doors.

Tanya, three cards, which one would you like? Purple, take a look.

-OK!

-Reckon you can do that?

-Yes.

-OK. Ten seconds,

best of luck. Ready, steady, mime!

Nice! Jo.

Very good! Isabel.

Nice work!

OK. Dolcie.

Time's up. Stop miming. Very good!

I've got a good feeling. Chris, for 50 points,

-what's the answer?

-Ballerina.

-Yes!

Well done, guys, awesome! Once again, you get the full 50 points!

-Joe, mate, two cards left. Which would you like?

-Orange.

Orange, have a look.

-OK.

-Got that?

-Yeah.

-Good one!

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

Sophie's nodding her head! Good sign!

Go on, Tom!

Diane, your turn.

Thomas, finally, your turn.

Stop miming!

Very good, all the way down the line.

For a maximum of 50 points, Sue, any idea what Thomas was miming?

Er...is he gelling his hair?

He's not gelling his hair.

-Open the door. Thomas?

-Straightening her hair?

Straightening hair, yes! Well done.

That means that you get yourselves 40 points. Well done.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So after Mime Time,

are Tanya's team pirouetting their way to the Ball Room?

-That's a pirouette, yeah?

-Yeah.

-Good.

Was that a smooth performance from Jo's team?

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

'Well, Mark, after Mime Time, Tanya's team have 100 points

'and Joe's team have 80 points.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Three digits!

-Yep.

-Three digits!

-Good maths.

It's time to get serious

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

It's your chance to add some crucial points to your overall score.

Are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-I'm going to ask you again. Are you ready? ALL:

-Yes!

-They're ready!

-Love it.

Joe's team, it's time for you to leave but you will be coming back.

Say goodbye to Joe's team.

See you later, Joe's team.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Very smiley.

-Nice people.

-Lovely, lovely people.

Tanya, as team captain, you now need to select

three people to face the Copycats challenge.

Before that... What are you laughing at?

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

-It's serious.

'The Drop.

'As before, an image of a coloured rod will be displayed on the screen.

'Players must remove the corresponding rod while trying

'to avoid any of the balls dropping.

'10 points are awarded for every rod pulled out,

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

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, team, the best of luck.

In three, two, one, pull.

'So it's Tanya's mum Kay to start.

'Black for you, Kay. Come on,

'choose one of those.

'That's it. Good. Next, red for Isabel.

'This is Tanya's friend. Another good choice.

'Here we go, yellow for Dolcie, Tanya's other friend.

'That is removed successfully.

'Next, black for Kay. Come on, Kay.

'That's all right, you can touch the end of it,

'but once you start moving the rod, you must complete the move.

'Next, red for Isabel.

'Isabel wanders round there and chooses that one...

'Successfully removed.

'Next, it's red for Dolcie.

'Come on, Dolcie. All the way round!

'Now, gently ease that rod out.

'It's OK, the rod on the inside isn't a problem, it doesn't count.

'Next, Kay. Yellow, successfully removed.

'Next it's black for Isabel.

'Isabel, which one are you going to choose?

'When you do remove it, do it gently.

'Yes!

'Next, yellow for Dolcie. Come on, Dolcie.

'Now, choose wisely, choose wisely.

'Ohhh...

'Yes! 20 seconds to go.

'Red for Kay.

'Round you come, Kay. That's it.

'Yes! Good choice.

'Black for Isabel. Come on. Isabel.

'She's asking, "This one?" She's going for it.

'Oh, a few balls have fallen!

'Never mind. Very quickly, one more. Try one more!'

Time's up!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Very good, guys. Very good. Not bad at all.

There is only one more round before we reveal which team

are going to be playing for the Copycats Trophy.

Give it up for Tanya's team, everybody.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

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

for the person next to you on the world-famous Copycats Kazoo.

Everybody, except for Sue, put your headphones on

so that you do not hear which song has been selected. Thank you.

Our Copycats look ready, dancing away.

Let's close the doors.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Sue, I've got three cards here. Green, purple or orange.

-Which one would you like?

-I'll go for the middle one.

-OK.

That one.

-OK.

-Any idea?

-Yes, I think so.

We are going to play it into the studio anyway

so that you can get the melody into your head. Listen.

# I want you to make me feel

# Like I'm the only girl in the world

# Like I'm the only one

# That you'll ever love

# Like I'm the only one

# Who knows your heart

# The only girl in the world. #

Brilliant song, brilliant artist.

Good luck. Ready, steady, play.

Brilliant playing. OK, Sophie.

OK, Thomas.

HE PLAYS OUT OF TUNE

LAUGHTER

HE SQUEAKS

Brilliant!

SHE PLAYS SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT

LAUGHTER

Yeah...well...yeah. Time to spare!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I wanted you to carry on. I love that tune!

I especially like the "Oooh" at the end. OK, for 50 points, Tom?

It's going to be difficult but what have I got on the card?

-London's Burning?

-It is not London's Burning. Let's open the door.

-For 40 points, Joe?

-All Time Low?

It is not All Time Low by The Wanted.

Let's open the door. Diane?

Oooh, Give Me Love, Take That.

It's not Take That. Let's open the door.

-For 20 points.

-The Lazy Song?!

It is not The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars. Let's open the door.

Sophie, you really played this well, actually. Any idea?

Is it something like...

# The only girl in the world. #

It's not something like it, it is that! Well done!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done!

You played that brilliantly!

HE HUMS

# Like I'm the only one

# Who knows your heart... #

Look, he's playing it now! Fantastic, well done.

You get 10 points. Nice work.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Isabel, I've got two cards. Which one would you like?

-The turquoise, please.

-I've never heard it being called turquoise.

We usually call it green, but I like it. Let's go with turquoise!

-Do you know that song?

-Yeah.

-Excellent.

We are going to play it into the studio,

get the melody into your head. Let's hear it.

# Jump for my love

# Jump in

# And feel my touch

# Jump if you want to taste

# My kisses in the night then

# Jump for my love

# I know my heart... #

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

Very good. Well played.

HE PLAYS SOMETHING DIFFERENT

OK, Tanya.

OK, Kay.

Time's up. Stop playing.

For a maximum of 50 points, what's the answer we're looking for?

Born This Way, Lady Gaga?

It's not Born This Way which means we're playing for 40 points. Kaye?

The Simpsons' theme tune.

It's not the Simpsons, which means we're playing for 30 points. Tanya?

I Need a Dollar.

I Need a Dollar. It's not, which means we're playing for 20 points.

-Promise This by Cheryl Cole.

-Promise This by Cheryl Cole.

It's not, which means we're playing for 10 points.

-Chris, I've got to say, Isabel did a cracking job.

-I did a bad job.

-Any idea?

-Erm...

-Not a clue. Not a clue.

-Really? Take a wild guess, name a song,

-it might be right.

-The Flood, Take That.

Good song! It's not. Isabel, do you want to tell everybody?

-It was Jump by Girls Aloud.

-Let's hear it.

# Jump for my love

# Jump in

# To feel my touch

# Jump... #

I'm sorry. That was really poor.

Awww, bless Chris, he's apologising, bless him.

You did a cracking job there, Isabel.

It is a tough round, the music round. Unfortunately, you didn't get

any points but give them a round of applause anyway.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'OK. After three rounds, Tanya's team

still have 100 points

and Joe's team have 90 points.

High-scoring in some of the pass-it-on rounds

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

Which team destroyed the Drop?

-And which team are going all the way to the Ball Room?

-The wait is over.

I can reveal that one team got...

70 points in the challenge. Very good.

-Respectable.

-I can also reveal that one team got...

-..50 points.

-Still respectable.

-Both respectable scores.

-That's why I'm saying respectable.

-All right.

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Tanya's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Congratulations, guys.

-Well done. Unfortunately,

Joe's team, you didn't win, but you've been fantastic.

-Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-Yes.

-Fantastic.

Give it up for Joe's team, everyone. Brilliant.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Tanya's team, congratulations, but now it's time to compete

for the fabulous money-can't-buy limited-edition lovely shiny thing...

-Don't kiss it.

-Sorry.

-That is this, the Copycats Trophy.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Here is the Ball Room.

Tanya, who have you chosen to play the Ball Room?

-Me, Joe and Chris.

-OK.

Before we open the doors, take a look at what you have to do to win.

-Are you all right?

-Yeah.

'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!'

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

'Left to right, it's Chris, Isabel's dad, Tanya, team captain,

'and Jo, Tanya's drama teacher

'in the Ball Room, collecting as quickly as they can.

'25 green balls are needed in that scoring cylinder.

'Come on, guys, as quickly as you can.

'We don't want any rogue balls, whatever you do.

'You're doing well so far.

'Rogue balls are deducted, remember.

'25 seconds to go.

'They've all got to be green, please. They're doing well.

'This is good. Lots of green balls going down. Quickly as you can.

'You've got to catch these in the air.

'You can't pick them up from the floor.

'This is very good, very fast.

'Come on. Only a few seconds left.

'Let's get as many of those green balls in there as we can.

'Come on, there's another one.'

KLAXON

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That was a good team effort.

Chris, you were like some kind of Ninja in there.

And Jo, I think you've got something of ours.

-Ball in a pocket. Ball in a pocket.

-Thief!

The balls have been counted and the results checked and verified.

You needed 25 green balls

to win the trophy.

I can reveal that you collected...

..38 green balls!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hold it up, Tanya!

It has been won magnificently.

Brilliant.

-You smashed it! Congratulations. Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-Yes.

Give it up for Tanya's team, everyone.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

What's up, mate? High-five?

We're trying to finish the show here, mate.

-We'll see you next time on Copycats. Bye.

-Bye!
