Episode 37 Copycats

.

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

'And today's Copycats are

'Ellis's team from Essex,

'and Owen's team from Tyne and Wear.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

BOTH: Hello!

And welcome to Copycats, the gameshow where copying is good.

Whether it's drawing, miming, or playing the kazoo,

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

Yes, nowhere else on the planet at this precise moment

are two groups of people so eager to compete

for the ultimate money-can't-buy prize,

it is, of course, the Copycats trophy.

AUDIENCE: Woooo!

-Yeah.

-Yeah. Shall we meet the teams

-before all this excitement gets the better of us?

-Come on, then!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Over here we've got Owen's team.

Team captain, you want to introduce the rest of your team?

This is Emily, my best friend from school.

Rachel, my best friend from my drama class.

My auntie, Rachel, my mam, Tina,

and this is my great-auntie, Julie.

Lovely to have you. Are you going to win it?

ALL: Yeah!

All right! Positive mental attitude, that's what we want.

Give it up for Owen's team, everyone.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Trash talk, I like it. Over here we've got Ellis's team.

-You all all right? ALL:

-Yeah!

Ellis, introduce the gang for us.

This is Ayana and Jack, these are my friends.

This is my family friend, Lucy,

this is my brother, Wade and my mum, Louise.

Excellent, it's lovely to have you. Are you excited to be here? ALL: Yes!

Good. And, more importantly, all that trash talk over there,

-you going to win it for me, today? ALL:

-Yes!

Awesome! Well, the best of luck. Give it up for Ellis's team.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It looks like 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.

And, to get as many points as possible,

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

We tossed a coin before the show,

and Owen's team are going to play first. Let's play Copycats!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

because this is Quick On The Draw.

Emily, I've got three cards.

You're going to pick one, you then have ten seconds

to draw what is on that card for the player next to you,

which is Owen, and then so on and so on, down the line.

-Good at drawing, Emily?

-Yes.

That's what I needed to hear. That is all I needed to hear.

There's a maximum of 50 points to be won,

but as you pass it back down the line, you lose ten points

for every incorrect answer. Are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes!

-All right. Let's close the doors.

-Emily, I've got three cards, here, which one would you like?

-Purple.

OK, have a look at that.

-OK.

-Yeah? You got that?

-Yeah.

-The best of luck.

Ready, steady, draw!

OK, Owen, your turn.

OK, Rachel.

OK, Rachel, your turn.

Amazing.

Stop drawing!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

All right, guys. For a maximum of 50 points,

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

A balloon with a face drawn on?

It is not, I'm afraid. Let's open the door. For 40 points,

Tina, have a look at Rachel's drawing, there.

What do you think it is, for 40 points?

Er, a breakfast?

It does actually look like that. But it's not.

OK, let's open the door, for 30 points, Rachel.

Erm, a pig waving?

LAUGHTER

That is the best guess I have ever heard.

I wish that was what I had on the card.

"Is it a pig waving?" Let's open the door for 20 points.

Rachel?

Is it sausage and eggs?

MARK LAUGHS

-It isn't sausage and eggs.

-Oh, well.

Let's open the door. Owen, Emily drew this brilliantly, I think.

Oh, I get it, now. Trainers.

It is not trainers, unfortunately.

-What is it, Emily?

-Ballet shoes.

Ballet shoes, look! They're great!

It's tricky, it's tricky. It really is.

APPLAUSE

That was a really hard one, actually. And you did well.

MARK LAUGHS

A pig waving! I'm still getting over that. That's brilliant.

Unfortunately, you don't get any points,

but give them a round of applause.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-Louise, how's your drawing skills?

-Not too bad, not great.

Oh, well, we'll soon find out. I've got two cards left.

-Which one would you like?

-I'll have the green one.

Green one. Take a look.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-I'll give it a go.

Good, that's all we like. We like a good trier on Copycats.

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

OK, not bad, not bad at all.

SAM LAUGHS

OK, Jack, your turn.

OK, Ellis, your turn.

Just draw what you saw.

ELLIS LAUGHS

OK, time's up.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

All right, Lucy.

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

-Skipping rope?

-Yeah!

CHEERING

Wow! Guys, well done!

That was amazing, the perfect start, the full 50 points!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

So, after Quick On The Draw,

have Owen's team tiptoed their way to the Ball Room?

And are Ellis's team skipping into the lead?

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

'Well, Sam, after Quick On The Draw,

'Ellis's team have 50 points,

'and Owen's team have no points.'

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-Long way to go.

-Long way.

OK, the next round will test our teams' skill, nerve

and determination. Yes, the game just got serious.

This is the Copycats Challenge.

My team won the toss so they'll go first.

My team, so you don't get a sneaky peek,

we'll send you off, but don't worry, you will be coming back.

-Say bye to Ellis's team, everybody. ALL:

-Bye!

Now, Owen, as team captain you now need to select three people

to face the daunting Copycats Challenge.

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

Mr D, what could it be?

'The Roll.

'A shape will be highlighted on the screen.

'Players must roll the ball into the corresponding shape.

'Ten points are awarded for every successful roll.'

Best of luck, girls. If you're ready, in three, two, one, roll!

'Auntie Rachel to start, then.'

'Going for the middle one, and straight in. Very good.

'Off to a good start. Owen's friend, Rachel.

'For the far right.

'Oh! Went all the way round the edge, there. OK.

'Great Auntie Julie, far left, for you.

'Races along. Does it go in?

'Yes, it does, is the answer!

'OK, Auntie Rachel, next. The L-shape, for you.

'Oh, didn't quite make it. OK. Rachel.

'Top right. Well bowled.

'Didn't quite reach it, though. OK, Julie.

'Top left. Doesn't quite reach, either.

'OK, Auntie Rachel, next.'

'We're on the right-hand side, for this one. Far right.

'Doesn't quite reach. Never mind. Rachel, next. Far left.'

'Ooh! Bounces in and then out again!

'Oh. Julie, next.

'Come on, Julie. You're going for that middle one.

'Didn't quite reach far enough.

'OK, Auntie Rachel. Top left, come on.

'Yes, that's gone in. Brilliant. OK, Rachel.'

'Top right. Ooh! All the way round the side.

'Julie, the L-shape, please, if you would.

'Yes! Beautifully done. OK, Auntie Rachel.

'Far right, it appears to be. That's it, there we are.

'Yes, that's gone in.

'And then we've got Rachel, middle one.

'Yes! That's gone in, as well. Come on.

'A few seconds! We can get one more. Quickly!'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Did great at the end. Really, really good.

Remember, we'll add those points to your total after the music round.

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

The points from the challenge could make all the difference,

because a ticket to the Ball Room is at stake.

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

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Welcome back, Ellis's team. Let's play Mime Time.

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

you will then have ten seconds to mime whatever is on that card

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

50 points are up for grabs, but don't forget you will lose ten points

for every incorrect answer going back down the line.

-Copycats, are you ready? ALL:

-Yes!

Awesome, let's close the doors.

OK, Ellis, we've got three cards. Which would you like?

-That one, please.

-The purple one. Take a look.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Yeah.

-Awesome. You've got ten seconds.

The best of luck. Ready, steady, mime!

It's good, it's good.

It's good, good copying. Jack, your turn.

OK, Ayana.

OK, Lucy, go for it.

Time's up.

Stop miming.

OK.

Wade, I reckon you know this. For 50 points,

-what's the answer?

-Was it snooker?

Yeah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, guys. Once again,

you get the maximum 50 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

-I'll go with the green.

-OK.

Yeah, you got that?

Owen, the best of luck. Ready, steady, mime! Open the door.

OK, Rachel.

-MOUTHS:

-What's happening?

LAUGHTER

OK, Emily. Your turn.

Go on, Julie.

Stop miming!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, for the maximum 50 points, any idea the answer I'm looking for?

Gardening?

It is not gardening. Let's open the door for 40 points. Julie?

-Digging in the sand?

-It's not digging in the sand.

OK, let's open the door for 30 points. Emily?

Digging on the construction site?

OK. Construction site. No, that's wrong.

OK, let's open the door for 20 points. Rachel, to Rachel.

Is it building a sand castle?

It is not building a sand castle.

Let's open the door for the minimum of ten points.

Making soup, or something?

Making soup? It is not making soup.

-OK, Owen, go on. Tell us what it was.

-Packing a suitcase.

Aw! Everyone went, "Oh, yeah, of course you are!"

Unlucky.

I think you did a good job, there, Owen, I really did.

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

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, after Mime Time, have Ellis's team snookered the opposition?

And are Owen's team packing to go home?

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

'Well, Mark, after Mime Time,

'Ellis's team have 100 points,

'and Owen's team have no points.'

It's not looking good, but it's time to get serious again.

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

Ellis, it's your chance to add some crucial points to your overall score.

-Are you ready? ALL:

-Yeah!

-Yeah, they're ready.

-All right!

Owen's team, it's time for you to go, but you will be coming back.

So, please give it up for Owen's team.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Now, Ellis, as team captain, you now need to select three people

to face the Copycats Challenge.

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

Mr D, what could it be?

'The Roll.

'As before, a shape will be highlighted on the screen.

'Players must roll the ball into the corresponding shape.

'Ten points are awarded for every successful roll.'

Good luck, guys.

In three, two, one, roll!

'Yes, ten points for every successful roll.

'Ellis's brother Wade starts us off in the middle.

'Doesn't quite make it.

'Team captain, Ellis, next. Far right.

'That's the same problem. Rolls all around the shape.

'Next, Ellis's mum, Louise, far left. Goes straight over.

'Is it going to bounce back in? No.

'Wade next, the L shape.

'Yes! Straight in.

'No nonsense. Ellis next.

'Top right. Yes, that's gone in, as well. Brilliant!

'Louise next. Top left, for you.'

'Oh, yes, that's gone in!

'This is very good. Wade, next. Far right.'

'Yes! Top scoring going on here. Ellis, next. Far left.

'Oh, hit the lip, bounced well away, there.

'Next it's Louise.

'One in the middle. Didn't quite make it.

'Wade. Top left.

'Very close.

'Ellis, next.

'Top right. Oh, not quite strong enough, the throw.

'OK, Louise, next.

'The L shape. Oh, it's gone over it. Will it come back in? No, it won't.'

'Wade, next. Far right.'

'Next it's Ellis, the middle.

'Oh, is that...?

'No, it's gone into the L shape. Didn't want that.

'Louise, next.

'Far left. Yes! That's gone in. Excellent. Wade next.

'The L shape.

'Very nearly. We're running out of time. Ellis.

'Top right. Oh, yes!'

Wow! OK, time's up. Well done.

Not bad at all. There's only one more round to play

before we add those points to your total,

and we can reveal which team are going to play for the trophy.

Give it up for Ellis's team. Nice work!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

All you do is pick a well-known tune,

then re-create it to the player next to you,

on the world-famous Copycats kazoo.

You all look absolutely terrified.

Could everybody except for Rachel

please put your headphones on?

So you do not hear the song that's selected. Thank you.

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

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Rachel, I've got three cards, here.

-Which one would you like?

-Green.

-Green.

Have a look at that one.

-Do you know it?

-Nah.

-No?

It's OK, because we are going to play it

so you can get the melody into your head. Let's listen.

MUSIC: "Issues" by The Saturdays

# Me and my heart we got issues

# Don't know if I should hate you or miss you

# Damn, I wish that I could resist you... #

Oh, The Saturdays... OK. The best of luck, Rachel.

Ready, steady, play! Open the door.

SHE PLAYS TUNE ON KAZOO

OK, Tina.

SHE PLAYS TUNE ON KAZOO

Nice. OK, Owen.

HE PLAYS HESITANT TUNE

OWEN LAUGHS

-MARK LAUGHS

-Yes!

Go on, Julie. That's brilliant.

SHE PLAYS DIFFERENT TUNE

LAUGHTER

That was beautiful.

"Dooo!" There.

PLAYS TUNE ON KAZOO

Stop playing!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

I don't know about you, but I reckon 50 points are in the bag, here.

Emily, best of luck.

What's the answer I've got on my card?

Star Wars theme tune?

It is not the Star Wars theme tune.

OK, let's open the door. Rachel.

-Judas?

-By Lady Gaga?

-Yeah.

It is not that, unfortunately. Let's open the door. 30 points.

I loved what you were playing.

It was lovely. Don't know what it was, but I liked it.

OK, for 30 points.

Adele, Chasing Pavements?

It is not Chasing Pavements.

Right. Owen, mate, you all right? For 20 points,

what are we looking for?

-Was it Dynamite?

-It is not Dynamite.

OK, for the minimum of ten points.

This one's difficult, actually. Tina, any idea?

Born This Way, Lady Gaga?

It is not Born This Way, Lady Gaga. Rachel, what was it?

-Issues by The Saturdays.

-Let's have a listen.

# Me and my heart we got issues

# Don't know if I should hate you or miss you

# Damn, I wish that I could resist you... #.

Unfortunately, you don't get any points, but I enjoyed it.

-Did you enjoy it?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-Give them a round of applause.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

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

-Orange one.

-Orange. Take a look.

-You know that song?

-Yep.

-Awesome.

We are going to play it into the studio,

so have a good listen.

# MUSIC: "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy

# I want to be on the cover of Forbes magazine

# Smiling next to Oprah and The Queen... #

OK, good luck, Lucy, you've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, play!

SHE PLAYS TUNE ON KAZOO

Well done.

HE PLAYS TUNE ON KAZOO

Well done, well played.

SHE PLAYS TUNE ON KAZOO

OK.

PLAYS TUNE ON KAZOO

OK, Louise.

PLAYS TUNE ON KAZOO

Time's up, stop playing! Very well played.

Jack, for 50 points, do you know the answer?

Is it Eastenders theme tune?

SAM AND AUDIENCE GROAN

It's not. I was hoping for a full 50 point scoop!

Oh, it's not. Louise, any idea?

OK, it's that song that goes "I want to be a millionaire so bad."

We're going to give you it!

CHEERING

# I want to be on the cover of Forbes magazine

# Smiling next to Oprah and The Queen... #

Louise, it was actually "Billionaire" by Travie McCoy,

featuring Bruno Mars.

Well done, guys. I'm not going to lie, I was hoping for a full sweep,

50 points along the board.

I don't think that's ever happened.

But 40 points, well done, that is amazing.

The music round is the toughest round in game show history,

and you got 40 points. Well done!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'OK, so after three rounds, Ellis's team have 140 points,

'and Owen's team have no points.'

A little bit one-sided in the pass-it-on rounds,

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

Which team rocked The Roll?

Which team are dressed for the Ball Room?

The wait is over,

I can reveal that one team got

-60 points in the challenge.

-Not bad at all.

I can also reveal the other team

also got 60 points!

AUDIENCE: Ooooh!

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Ellis's team!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Well done, Ellis's team. Which means, I'm afraid to say,

goodbye to Owen's team. Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-ALL: Yeah.

-You've been fantastic. Give it up for them.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Ellis'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.

AUDIENCE: Oooooh!

Here is the Ball Room.

Ellis, who've you chosen to play in the Ball Room?

Er, I've chosen Jack, Ayana and Lucy.

OK. Best of luck. Before we open the doors,

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

'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!'

Best of luck.

If you're ready, in three, two, one...

ALL: Blast the balls!

'Ellis's friend, Ayana, friend of the family, Lucy,

'and Ellis's friend, Jack, are in the Ball Room.

'Quickly as you can, guys.

'25 green balls need to go into the scoring cylinder.

'That's it. Look at this!

'Wow! Very good.

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

'Only the green ones count.

'Another one going in, two going in, there. Very good.

'You have to move quickly, though.

'Time flies when you're in the Ball Room.

'Wow, look at that concentration!

'They're battling with each other.

'Encouragement from outside the Ball Room, which is good to see.

'26 seconds left.

'Quickly as you can.

'They need 25 of those in the scoring cylinder. Come on!

'Quickly, quickly, quickly!'

'There's another one going in. You can only catch them,

'you cannot pick them up from the floor. It's not allowed.

'Come on, Jack!

'Quickly as you can, time's running out. He's got another one.

'Well done!'

KLAXON

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

You did really well, there. And you got one green ball in

right at the end.

OK. The balls have been counted

and the result has been checked and verified.

You needed 25 green balls to win the trophy.

I can reveal that you collected...

..30 green balls!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Ellis, this is yours! Hold it up, hold it up!

-Yeah!

-Yeah, yeah!

I think it's safe to say they're a bit happy about that!

Very happy! Guys, you have been an absolutely fantastic team.

-Have you enjoyed yourselves? ALL:

-Yes!

-Yay!

-Brilliant.

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

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-What a great end to the show.

-I can't believe it's over.

Don't worry, though. We'll be back. See you next time on Copycats.

SAM AND MARK: Bye!
