Episode 34 Copycats

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

'And today's Copycats are

'Emily's team from Bristol

'and Lauren's team from County Down.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-BOTH: Hello!

-Welcome to Copycats,

that game show where copying is good.

Yes, and it's now the subject of the new, best-selling book,

written by yours truly, called From B To C.

Barnsley to Copycats.

What?! What have you said about me? Let's have a look.

Let's have a look. It's good this, you know.

-Chapter 1. Sam dates Nicole Scherzinger.

-No big deal.

Wait a minute.

Chapter 2. Sam lands a part

in a movie starring opposite Cameron Diaz.

-Going to be out next year. AUDIENCE: Ooh!

-What?!

Chapter 3. Sam becomes best friends with Prince William.

Where's my mention?

Er, chapter 18.

Right. OK.

Mark asks out Rachel Stevens and she says no.

LAUGHTER

-Unbelievable!

-I don't know what you're moaning about.

-You're on the front cover.

-Er, where?

It's your hand there. LAUGHTER

Let's meet the teams. Come on.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

It'll probably be turned into a movie. Watch this space!

Emily's team. Are you all right? ALL: Yay!

Emily, introduce the team.

-This is one of my best friends, Charlie.

-Hello.

-This is my cousin, Alex. My Auntie Debs.

-Hi.

-My Uncle Rik.

-and then my dad.

-Nice.

Lovely to have you here.

Are you going to win today? ALL: Yes!

That's what we like to hear

on Copycats. The best of luck.

Give it up for Emily's team.

Emily's team have got it covered, but I've got a good feeling.

-Lauren, team captain, do you want to introduce the team?

-Yep.

These are my two friends, Hannah and Natalie.

This is their mum, Colleen. This is my Auntie Gail and my mum Sonia.

Ah, lovely ladies. Lauren's team, everyone. Give it up.

APPLAUSE

All right. It looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

The teams 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

and a chance to win the Copycats Trophy.

APPLAUSE

Oh, yeah.

We tossed a coin before the show

that told us Emily's team are going to play first.

Let's play Copycats.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

I hope you've brushed up on your artistic skills.

Yes.

It's time to play Quick On The Draw.

Rik says yes. I like that.

Here's what's going to happen. You'll pick a card.

You'll have ten seconds to draw

whatever is on the card for the person next to you

and so on down the line. There's 50 points to be won.

As we pass it back down the line,

you will lose ten points for every incorrect answer.

Copycats, are you ready? ALL: Yes.

Let's get this party started. Close the doors.

CHEERING

OK, we've got three cards. Green, orange or purple.

-Orange.

-Orange. Take a look.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-I think so.

Whether anyone will recognise it!

Let's hope so. You've got ten seconds.

Best of luck. Ready, steady, draw.

OK. Charlie, your turn.

OK, Alex.

All right, Paul, your turn.

Emily.

OK. Time's up. All right!

CHEERING

SAM LAUGHS

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

-Weightlifter.

-Weightlifter. It's not I'm afraid,

which means we're playing for 40 points.

Emily, what do you think the answer is?

Someone robbing a bank.

It's not, unfortunately, which means were playing for 30 points.

-What do you think it is?

-Somebody shopping.

It does look like that. Nice thinking, but it's not.

Which means we're playing to 20 points. Alex.

Some scales?

Ah, good, these are cracking guesses, guys.

It's not, unfortunately.

Which means we're playing for ten points. Charlie, any idea?

Is it a man holding two bags of fish?

LAUGHTER

That's very specific!

-I like it. It's not.

-Probably more accurate!

-It's not. Do you want to tell everybody?

-A coat stand.

It's a coat stand. Oh!

That means you don't get any points, but give them a round of applause.

APPLAUSE

OK, I've got purple or green left. Which one would you like?

-Purple, please.

-OK, look at that.

You've got that?

Right.

Best of luck, Hannah. Ready, steady, draw.

Off you go.

Colleen.

Gail.

OK.

All right, Sonia, your turn.

Stop drawing, please!

It's a tricky one.

But for a maximum of 50 points, what are we looking for?

Is it a front door?

It is not a front door.

OK, let's open the door. Sonia, for 40 points.

-Come on.

-Is it a grille?

-It is not a grille.

-OK.

Open the door. Lauren.

Is it a telephone box?

It is not a telephone box.

-Let's open the door. Gail.

-Is it a block of flats?

It is not a block of flats. OK, finally.

-Mobile phone?

-Yes!

APPLAUSE

Well done. You do get off the mark, Lauren's team, with ten points.

Congratulations. Nice work. Round of applause.

After Quick On The Draw,

do Emily's team need to get their coats?

Have Lauren's team made a bad call?

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

'Well, Mark, after Quick On The Draw,

'Emily's team have no points and Lauren's team have ten points.'

-Still a long way to go, don't you worry.

-Very close.

The next round will test skill, nerve and determination.

Yes, the game just got serious,

because this is the Copycats Challenge.

Because my team won the toss they will go first.

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

we'll send you away.

You are coming back.

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

See ya!

APPLAUSE Go and put your feet up.

-Keep it real.

-You've got to.

-You have.

-Heh, heh?

-You have got to.

Emily, as team captain, you need to select three people to face

the awesome Copycats Challenge.

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

-Mr D, are you keeping it real?

-'Of course I am.'

'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.'

APPLAUSE

In three, two, one, tilt.

'Onto the square go Emily's best friend Charlie, Uncle Rik

'and Emily's dad Paul.

'How are they getting on?

'It's about body weight.

'Getting your balance right. Acting as a team.

'They've got one already, that's good.

'Bring the ball down.

'Go to the bottom of the square

'and tilt it so the ball rolls down the square

'and gets in the position you want it to be in.

-'Back this way, come on over.

-HE CHUCKLES

'that's how it's done, you see.

'Now, where have you got to go?

'Go over that side of the square and into the corner.

'Come on. Where are we now?'

HE CHUCKLES

'Loads of advice.

'There we are. Bring it down the side. Don't just stand there.

'You're getting in each other's way! Come on! Excellent.'

'Come on. Keep moving.'

'Keep that ball on the move.

'Stay together.

'Come on. Move it. That's the bottom corner one done, excellent.

'Now where are you going, guys?

'You've got just over 30 seconds left.

'You've got to move.'

'Come on!

'Quickly as you can, get that ball moving out of that corner!

'You've got that one.

'Quickly!

'That's it, across.

'Now, are you going up or down?

'He's trying to go up!

'That's it. Across, across!

'The little barrier's in the way. It's like a little maze.

'Now go up the square. Come on!

'Yes! Well done.

'Just a few seconds left.

'Can we get one more? Please! Quickly!'

'Oh!'

Well done. Nice teamwork.

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

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

The points from the challenge could make the difference,

because the dream ticket

to the Ball Room is at stake. Give it up for Emily's team.

APPLAUSE

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

Lauren, I've got three cards. You're going to pick a card.

You'll have ten seconds to mime what's on the card

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

-Copycats, are you ready?

-All: Yes.

-Yeah!

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

-CHEERING

OK, Lauren, we've got purple, green

-or orange. What would you like?

-Orange.

OK, have a look at that.

You've got that? The best of luck.

Now, ready, steady, mime. Let's open the door.

HE MOUTHS

That's brilliant.

HE MOUTHS

Go on, Gail.

HE MOUTHS

OK, Natalie.

OK, Colleen. Off you go.

LAUGHTER

-Stop miming!

-CHEERING

I wanted to get involved there.

You looked like you were having a lot of fun.

For the maximum of 50 points.

Sonia, what's the answer I've got on my card?

A puppet?

It's not a puppet. OK. Let's open the door.

For 40 points, what was Natalie doing?

Um, break dancing?

Oh, it's not break dancing. Agh! Let's open the door.

Come on. 30 points.

-Being a robot.

-Yes!

APPLAUSE

Nicely done.

Lauren, hey, give me some.

Captain Lauren, she did you proud there.

Got yourself 30 points. Give them a round of applause.

APPLAUSE

-OK, Emily, two cards left. Green or purple?

-Green, please.

Take a look.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Yeah.

Nice. That seems confident. I like that.

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

Nice work.

Nice. Charlie.

Debbie.

Nice work, stop miming. OK.

Good copying down the line.

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

Painting. A portrait.

-Yes!

-Yay!

Well done, guys,

-you get yourselves the full 50 points.

-Woo!

Good work.

So, after Mime Time, have Lauren's team

gone back to the '80s with those robot dance moves?

Oh, nice, work it. Excellent. And are Emily's team painting by numbers?

Let's find out those all-important scores. Mr D, over to thee.

'Well, Sam, after Mime Time, Emily's team have 50 points

'and Lauren's team have 40 points.'

-It's close.

-Yeah, very close. It's time to get serious

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

Emily's team built up a pile of those all-important points

in their challenge but did they do enough?

-Did they?

-Don't know.

-I don't know, mate.

Only time will tell.

Lauren, it's your chance to add some points to your score.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Good to hear, good to hear.

Emily's team, you're going to leave for a bit but don't worry,

-you'll be coming back. See you later, bye.

-Bye.

-I miss them already, Sam.

-I do, actually.

The results of the challenge will be revealed at the end of the show

and the points scored will determine

which team wins their tickets to the Ball Room. It's very exciting.

-I am excited by it.

-Good.

Lauren, you need to select three people

to face the Copycats Challenge. Before you do that,

have your first look of what we've got in store for you.

Mr D, tell us.

'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.'

In three, two, one, tilt.

'So, climbing aboard The Square, team captain Lauren,

'Lauren's friend Natalie and Mum Sonia.

'First one, it's right there. 12 white lights in all.

'Need to make them go green by making the ball pass over them.

'That's how it works.

'It also involves concentration, teamwork,

'talking to each other, agreeing on the direction to go in.

'It's almost there, girls. Yes, that's your second one.

'Where are you off to next?

'Let's have a look.

'You're bringing the ball down the square, pass over that one.

'Yeah, that's another one, good. Three so far.

'Keep up this pace and you could do well. Come on.

'Right on the edge the square.

'You want the ball to come towards you.

'It's going down the square. Where are you going?

'Oh, you've fallen off, get back on. That's it.

'The ball has moved, though.

'Different area to concentrate on. Another one.

'What about the one at the bottom? Pick that one up on the way.

'Make that white light go green, come on, that's it, go to that side.

'There it is, good. Now, where are you off to?

'You're all over the place, come on. Where do you on that ball to go?

'Where's your next white light that you're going for?

'You've ten seconds left, time's running out, come on.

'You're not supposed to bounce. Tilt, tilt, that's how it works.'

Come on. Well done, girls, brilliant.

One more round to play before we add those challenge points

and we can reveal which team are going to be playing

for the Copycats Trophy. Give it up for Lauren's team, everyone.

Welcome back, Emily's team, let's play the Music Round.

All you need to do is pick a well-known tune,

then recreate that tune to the person next to using the Copycats kazoo.

Everybody except Charlie, put your headphones on

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

Our Copycats look ready. Let's close the doors.

Charlie, we've got three tunes, a purple one,

-an orange one or a green one.

-Purple, please.

-Purple, take a look.

-You know that song?

-Yes.

-Awesome.

Well, let's hear it. Let's play it into the studio.

MUSIC: "Everybody In Love" by JLS

SAM MOUTHS THE LYRICS

# Go on, put your hands up

# Everybody in love

# Go on, put your hands up

# If you're in love Put your hands up. #

Charlie, the best of luck, you got ten seconds. Ready, steady, play.

Excellent playing.

Brilliant. Alex.

OK, not bad at all. Debbie.

OK. Rik.

Time's up. Stop playing.

OK, Paul, for 50 points, what's the answer?

-Is it Angels by Robbie Williams?

-It's not.

Which means we're playing for 40 points. Rik, any idea?

Cotton Eye Joe.

It's not Cotton Eye Joe. Which means we're playing for 30 points. Debbie?

-Saturday Night.

-Saturday Night, it's not. OK, we're playing for 20 points.

-Alex?

-JLS, Everybody In Love.

-Yay!

Good man.

Very good. The first three booths, excellent playing.

When it got to the older end, not so good.

Excellent. Well done, you get yourselves 20 points!

OK, Gail, I've got green or orange, which one would you like?

-The orange, please.

-OK. Have a look at that.

-Do you know that?

-Sort of.

We are going to play it into the studio so you can get

the melody into your head. Let's have a listen.

MUSIC: "I'm Into You" by Jennifer Lopez

# I'm into you I'm into you

# Ye-e-ah. #

OK, got the melody? Best of luck, Gail.

Ready, steady, play. Open the door.

OK, Natalie.

OK.

OK, Lauren.

OK, Hannah, finally.

OK, stop playing.

Excellent copying all the way down the line.

-It is a tough one but for 50 points.

-Billie Jean.

Billie Jean, great song but, unfortunately, it's wrong.

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

-Um, Starry Eyed.

-Ah, it's not, unfortunately. Let's open the door.

-For 30 points, you did a great job.

-Born This Way.

Born This Way by Lady Gaga, wrong, I'm afraid.

Open the door, for 20 points, Sonia.

-Starstruck.

-It's not Starstruck. Let's open the doors.

Finally, for a minimum ten points,

you did a very good job, Gail, I must admit.

-Shine.

-No.

-It's not. OK. Go on, tell us.

-It's I'm Into You by Jennifer Lopez.

-Let's have a listen.

# I feel lucky Like a four leaf clover

# I'm into you I'm into you

# I'm into you, ye-e-ah. #

It was very tricky and you did a great job down the line

but unfortunately,

you don't get any points but give them a round of applause, please.

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

'and Lauren's team have 40 points.'

Mixed results in the Pass-ItOn games.

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

Which team smashed the square? Dah.

And which team are shimmying to the Ball Room?

-Shall I shimmy?

-Do it.

-Like that.

-Nice.

-Shimmy shimmer.

-The wait is over. I can reveal that one team got...

60 points in the challenge.

AUDIENCE: Woo!

# Respectable. #

Good, good.

I can also reveal that one team got...

50 points in the challenge. AUDIENCE: Woo!

The team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Emily's team!

We have to say goodbye to Lauren's team.

-You had a good time team?

-Yes.

-You've been a fantastic team.

-Give it up for Lauren's team.

-Yay, well done, guys.

Emily's team, you've made it this far,

now it's time to compete for the fabulous,

limited addition, shiny, springy thing that is this.

I hold it in my hands. The Copycats Trophy!

All right, here is the Ball Room.

Emily, who have you chosen to take part in the Ball Room?

-Myself, my auntie and my cousin.

-Excellent, OK.

Before we open the doors to the Ball Room,

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

-Hide it.

-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.'

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

'Here we go. To win the Copycats Trophy, it's team captain Emily,

'cousin Alex and auntie Debbie.

'Smiley Alex.

'Puts one in, well done. Excellent.

'Team captain Emily really concentrating. There's Debbie.

'Auntie Debbie, hair flying everywhere.

'Trying to catch those green balls.

'There's another one going in. 30 seconds, guys, quickly.

'They're having a lot of fun enough. Quite a few in there.

'We need more than that.

'Another couple coming in, that's good. Three, excellent.

'Quickly as you can. 15 seconds left.

'Time is running out, guys.

'Battling through it all, there, Alex.

'Excellent. Auntie Debbie puts another one in. Almost there.

'Time is running out. This is your last chance, guys.'

END OF ROUND CLAXON

Well done, Emily's team.

Unfortunately, we can't count the last ball that you put in the tube.

-Cos the time had run out.

-The other balls have been counted.

The results have been checked.

You needed 25 green balls to win the trophy.

I can reveal that you collected...

..22 green balls. Oh, no. Unlucky.

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.

-Yeah!

-Is that all right?

-They're happy with that.

Give it up one more time for Emily's team.

-You're not going to believe this.

-Tell me.

-It's end of show, innit?

-Ah. Oh.

-Look at these faces!

-Sad face.

Turn that frown upside down because we're going to be back

next time on Copycats!

-That's it.

-Happy.

-Bye!

-Bye!
