Episode 38 Copycats

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

'And today's Copycats are...

'Ailish's team from Flintshire

'and Chloe's team from Bangor.'

-Hello.

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

Whether it's drawing or playing the kazoo,

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

Only the privileged few get the chance to compete

for the ultimate, money-can't-buy prize - it is the Copycats trophy.

-I'd prefer a paddling pool.

-Of course you would.

-Shall we meet the teams?

-Yes.

-Let's do it.

-Ailish's team, you all all right?

-Yeah!

-Yay.

Ailish, introduce your team.

This is Charlotte, who's my best friend.

Ella, who's also my best friend. Libby, who's my mum.

Keith, who's my dad. And Catherine, who's Ella's mum.

Excellent. Lovely to have you here. Your ready for it?

-Yeah.

-Awesome.

-Any good actors in the team? Oh, Libby right at the back.

-Yes.

Excellent. The best of luck for today. It's Ailish's team.

And over on this side of the room, the winning side of the room, oh.

Trash talk's started already, I'm sorry.

Chloe, introduce the rest of the guys, please.

This is Chloe, and she's my best friend.

This is Chris, he's also my best friend.

This is Rebecca, Jess and Zara, and they're my three girls.

Awesome. Chris, you're a bit outnumbered by the girls.

-Are you all right there, mate?

-Yeah.

I think I would be as well, mate.

Give it up for Chloe's team, everyone.

-Good teams, good teams.

-Yeah. Powerful.

Our teams are ready to start copying.

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 it in turns to face the Copycats Challenge.

We tossed a coin, and Chloe's team are going to be playing first.

Let's play Copycats.

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

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

I've got three cards. Pick one of these cards.

Then you'll have ten seconds to draw whatever is on that card

for the player next to you. And then so on down the line.

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

but as we pass it back down the line,

you lose ten points for every wrong answer. So, Copycats, you ready?

-Yeah.

-Smiley faces, that's what we want on Copycats.

Close the doors.

I've got a green, a purple or an orange -

which one would you like?

-Purple.

-Purple. Have a look at that one.

-You got that?

-Yeah.

-The best of luck, Chloe.

Ready, steady, draw.

Get as much detail in as possible.

OK, Jess. Good.

Chloe looks a bit perplexed.

OK. Ten seconds is not a long time - come on, Zara.

Try get as much detail in there as possible.

Keep looking, Chris - that's it.

OK, Chris, your turn, mate. Come on.

OK, stop drawing.

Rebecca, maximum 50 points - what we looking for?

-Is it a table tennis bat?

-It looks like one, but it's not, I'm afraid.

Let's open the doors. For 40 points, Chris, any idea?

-Is it a key?

-It is not a key.

30 points. Zara, let's have a look at Chloe's drawing.

-Oh.

-There we go.

-Is it a sign?

-It is not a sign. OK.

-Let's open the door. Chloe, team captain, come on.

-Is it a mushroom?

It is n... It's... Great guesses, but it's not, unfortunately. Jess?

-Is it a frying pan?

-Oh.

-Chloe, go on, tell us what it is.

-A magnifying glass.

-Course it is.

-Oh, I get it.

-See, she even did the lines.

Unfortunately, Chloe's team,

you don't get any points.

Give them a round of applause, anyway - that was very good.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Charlotte, got two cards left - orange or green?

-Can I have orange?

-Course you can. Take a look.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-Yeah.

-You've got ten seconds.

The best of luck. Ready, steady, draw.

Not bad, not bad at all.

Ailish.

Ella.

Keith.

HE LAUGHS

Time's up. Stop drawing. OK.

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

-Is it a zither?

-A what?

-A zither.

-What's a zither?

It's a musical instrument.

Oh, wow, don't even know what that is. But it's not that.

-OK, we're playing for 40 points. Keith?

-Is it a comb?

It's not a comb. Which means we're playing for 30 points.

-Ella, any idea?

-Is it a fish?

-It's not a fish.

We're playing for 20 points.

-Is it a magnet?

-It's not a magnet.

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

-Is it a lamp?

-A lamp.

-Table lamp.

-It's not, unfortunately.

-Charlotte, do you want to tell everybody?

-It's a stapler.

-Oh.

Catherine, "Oh..."

Unfortunately, that means at the end of Quick On The Draw,

you don't get any points. But give them a round or applause anyway.

APPLAUSE

After Quick On The Draw,

are Chloe's team having a close look at the Ball Room?

Ailish's team hold it together.

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

'Well, Sam, after Quick On The Draw,

'Ailish's team have no points,

'and Chloe's team also have no points.'

-Tight at the top.

-Big-time.

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 go first.

My team, so you don't get a peek of what's in store, we'll send you off.

Go and listen to music, put your feet up, get a cup of tea. Off you go!

Go on, see you later. Bye!

APPLAUSE

See you!

Awesome. Now, Chloe, as team captain, you now need

to select three people to face the Copycats Challenge.

Before you do, let's find out what's in store. Mr D, tell us, please.

'The Tubes. A coloured tube will be displayed on the screen.

'Players must place a ball in the tube and catch it as it exits.

'Ten points are awarded for every catch.

'If a player captures a ball from the golden tube,

'they'll score the maximum 150 points, and the challenge will end.'

OK, best of luck. In three, two, one, let's roll!

'Here we go, then. Ten points for every successful catch.

'Good luck to the team.

'Chloe to start, in the red tube.

'Put it gently in, then run to the other end and catch it.

'That's exactly how to play this game. Next, it's Rebecca.

'The green one, Rebecca.

'Put it in, race to the other end

'and catch it if you can. Never mind, better luck next time.

'This time it's blue, Chris.

'Chris runs around. Oh!

'It didn't fall to the floor, so it's OK. That is valid.

'But it fell out the other end! Never mind. Chloe, with blue.

'Another blue one. Come on, Chlo.

'Oh, no, she's dropped it. Never mind. On to the next one.

'It's black for Rebecca. Come on, Rebecca,

'race to the other end and catch.

'Yes! That's the way to do it.

'Next, yellow, Chris. Chloe's best friend, this.'

HE LAUGHS

'Will he be the best friend at the end of the game? Not sure.

'Next, it's Chloe and red.

'Run, run, run! Yep!

'Another point.

'We're motoring now. Come on!

'Rebecca, green tube,

'goes around to the other end,

'drops it! It's not as easy as it looks, this.

'Next, it's Chris and the white tube.

'Slipped through his fingers.

'Chloe, black! Come on, Chlo.

'Chloe's good at this. Come on. Yes! Well done.

'Next, the gold tube! The game could be over if we get this right.

'Oh, she dropped it! Never mind. It fell out of the tube.

'Next it's Chris and the yellow.

'Oh, very nearly! He runs around, doesn't quite get in place in time.

'Next, it's red for Chloe. Time's running out!

'Oh! Very nearly. Rebecca, quickly, can you do one?'

APPLAUSE

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

Ailish's team still face the Copycats Challenge.

The points from that could make all the difference,

as a ticket to the Ball Room is at stake.

Give it up again for Chloe's team!

CHEERING

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

Keith, I have three cards. Pick one, and you have ten seconds

to mime what's on that card to the next person,

which is Libby, and so on down the line, but remember,

we need silence performances.

There is a maximum of 50 points to win,

so if you think you know the answer,

you can add more detail to help the mime reach the end of the line.

As with every pass-it-on game,

you lose ten points for every incorrect answer.

Copycats, are you ready?

-Yes!

-Awesome. Let's close the doors!

APPLAUSE

-Keith, purple, orange or green?

-Orange, please.

Take a look, mate.

Reckon you can do that?

OK, best of luck.

You've got ten seconds. Ready, steady, mime!

Love that! Libby.

Interesting. Charlotte.

Catherine, your turn.

OK, Ella.

Time's up! Stop miming.

APPLAUSE

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

-Was it playing football?

-It looked like that, but that's not the answer.

-OK, we're playing for 40 points. Ella.

-Was it scoring a goal?

It wasn't scoring a goal. Which means we're playing for 30 points.

Catherine?

Running and kicking?

It's not running and kicking, which means we're playing for 20 points.

-Charlotte?

-Is it jumping a hurdle?

-Yeah!

APPLAUSE

Well done, guys - you get yourselves 20 points.

APPLAUSE

OK, Chloe, I've got two left, a green and a purple.

-Which one would you like?

-Can I have the green one, please?

Course you can.

-HE LAUGHS

-You got that in your head?

-Yup.

OK, ready...steady...mime. Open the door.

Zara's nodding her head, that's a good sign.

OK, Chloe, your turn.

OK, Rebecca.

Chris is nodding as well - it's a good mime.

Stop miming!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I've got a good feeling about this.

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

-Is it painting your nails?

-It is, yeah!

APPLAUSE

Well done! Chris, that was really good.

Can you give me some tips as well, cos that was great, I've got to say.

You get the maximum 50 points. Give 'em a round of applause.

-APPLAUSE

-Well done.

So, after Mime Time, have Ailish's team found their stride?

Mmm. And have Chloe's team nailed it?

It's time for those all-important scores. Mr D, what could they be?

'Well, Mark, after Mime Time, Ailish's team have 20 points,

'and Chloe's team have 50 points.'

-APPLAUSE

-Ooh, it's all to play for.

It's time to get serious once again,

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

Earlier in the show, Chloe's team built up a pile of those

all-important points in their challenge,

but did they do enough? Only time will tell.

Now, Ailish, it's your chance

to add some crucial points to your overall score.

-Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Yeah!

-Grr.

Chloe's team, it's time for you to leave, but don't worry,

you are coming back. Say goodbye, everyone.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE See you later.

-Lovely and smiling.

-Lovely and smiling.

-I like that.

Remember, the results of the challenge will be revealed

at the end of the show, when the extra points scored here

will determine which team wins their tickets to the Ball Room.

-Sam? Massage me, I'm tense.

-There we go.

-Enough, enough.

-OK, good.

Ailish, as team captain, you need to select three people

to face the Copycats Challenge, but before you do that,

you get to take your first look at what's in store. Over to you, Mr D.

'The Tubes. A coloured tube will be displayed on the screen.

'Players must place a ball in the tube and catch it as it exits.

'Ten points are awarded for every successful catch.

'If a player catches a ball from the golden tube,

'they'll score the maximum 150 points, and the challenge will end.'

In three...two...one...let's roll.

'Here we go, then. This will be fast and furious.

'First, it's Charlotte, with the red.

'Oh, she's dropped it. Oh, never mind, on to Keith. White for Keith.

'Got to put it safely in that end and catch it at the other...

'Like that! Exactly the way to do it. Well done, Keith. Ailish next.

-'On the green.'

-That's a fast one.

-'That is a fast one. A steep angle.

'Next it's Charlotte, with a blue. It's quite high...

'Oh, very nearly.

'Next, it's to Keith. That's Ailish's dad.

'On blue. Round he goes. He puts it in gently, and it gets time to...

'Out the other end, that's it.

'Not quite, though. He didn't catch it. Next, Ailish, black, come on.'

-Oh! She dropped it. Next ball.

-'Dropped. Next.

'Charlotte on the yellow.

'See what I mean about this game being fast? On the yellow.

'Oh, very nearly! Next, it's Keith on the red. Come on, Keithy.

'Gently in...

'Ooh, got to put it in - don't drop it.

'Next, Ailish, team captain, on the green.

'Show us how it's done. Very nearly.

'Next, it's Charlotte on the white. Come on, Charlotte. Quickly round.

'Oh, it's quite a fast one. Next, it's Keith on the black. Come on.

'In that end. He's got it in this time

'and he almost catches it. Next.

'Oh, it's the golden tube - this is it!

'150 points and game over if you catch it...'

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-'..and you have!'

All right! Well done, guys. You know what that means.

That means you get maximum points. Very good. Very good.

OK, only one more round to play before we add those challenge points

to your total and we can reveal which team are going to play

for the Copycats trophy. Give it up for Ailish's team!

APPLAUSE

OK, welcome back. Chloe's team, this is the music round.

All you have to do is pick a well-known tune and then play it

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

OK, could everybody, except for Zara, please put the headphones on,

so you do not hear which song has been selected? Thank you very much.

Fantastic. You ready? You ready? You ready? They can't hear me.

OK, our Copycats seem to be ready. Let's close the doors.

CHEERING

OK, Zara, I have three cards for you.

I've got a green one, a purple one and an orange one.

Which one would you like to go with?

-Can I have the green, please?

-Green, OK, have a look at that.

-Do you know that one?

-I'm not too sure, but...

OK, well, don't worry, cos we are going to play it into the studio

so you can get the melody in your head. Let's have a listen.

MUSIC: "Gonna Fly Now" by Bill Conti

-Best of luck to you, Zara.

-Thank you.

Ready...steady...play. Open the doors.

KAZOO BUZZES

That's brilliant.

KAZOO BUZZES

OK, again.

KAZOO BUZZES

OK, Rebecca.

KAZOO BUZZES

Go, Chloe.

KAZOO BUZZES

CHLOE MIMICS TUNE POORLY

LAUGHTER

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Got a little bit interesting towards the end.

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

-Um...

Is it Journey, Don't Stop Believing?

Great song, mate, but unfortunately it's not the right answer.

Let's open the door. Chloe, 40 points.

-Humpty Dumpty?

-Nothing wrong with that.

It's wrong, though. OK, let's open the door.

-For 30 points. Rebecca, I think you know this.

-Was it the 118 tune?

Which is also the Rocky theme tune, so we'll give you it, 30 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right! Brilliant. Nice work.

And, Zara, that was a fantastic, fantastic kazoo-playing.

You should make your own band.

Congratulations, Chloe's team - you get yourselves 30 points.

Well done. Well done.

-OK, Ella, I've got two cards left. Purple or orange?

-Um...orange.

Orange. Take a look.

-You know that tune?

-Yep.

-Nice. Let's play it into the studio.

Let's hear it.

MUSIC: "The Flood" by Take That

Excellent. OK, the best of luck, you've got ten seconds.

Ready...steady...play.

KAZOO BUZZES

Very good.

KAZOO BUZZES

Excellent. Excellent.

KAZOO BUZZES

OK, not bad.

KAZOO BUZZES

OK, Charlotte.

KAZOO BUZZES

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Not bad at all, time's up. OK.

Catherine, for a maximum of 50 points,

-what's the answer we're looking for?

-Jump, by Girls Aloud?

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

-Charlotte, what do you think the answer is?

-Baa, Baa, Black Sheep.

It's not Baa, Baa, Black Sheep.

Which means we're playing for 30 points. Libby?

Is it Heartbreak Hotel?

It's not, which means you're playing for 20 points.

I've got to say, Ailish did a fantastic job. Any idea, Keith?

It was clearly The Smiths, How Soon Is Now?

Oh-ho-ho, no, it's not!

Ailish, I know you know this, for the minimum of ten points?

-Take That, The Flood?

-Yay!

MUSIC: "The Flood" by Take That

I've got to say, excellent playing from Ella and Ailish.

Ten points is better than no points.

Give 'em a round of applause, everybody.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'So, after three rounds, Ailish's team have 30 points,

'and Chloe's team have 80 points.'

So, not many artists on the show today,

but some fantastic acting and amazing kazoo-playing,

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

-Which team triumphed.

-Yes.

Which team are doing the cha-cha to the Ball Room.

-Good moves, man.

-Thanks.

-The wait is over.

I can reveal that one team got...

..40 points in the challenge.

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

I can also reveal that one team got...

..150 points.

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

Which means the team going to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Ailish's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, Ailish's team,

-but commiserations to Chloe's team. Have you had fun?

-Yeah!

Yeah, you've been a brilliant, brilliant team.

Give it up for Chloe's team, everyone.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Ailish's team, you 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 this...

he new golden Copycats trophy!

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

Oh, yeah. Here is the Ball Room.

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

I've chosen Ella and Keith.

I've chosen Keith because he is quite athletic

and Ella because, as you can see, Keith's tall, I'm kind of medium

and Ella's smaller, so we can have a height range to get the balls.

-Excellent thinking.

-That's like Goldilocks And The Three Bears.

-Excellent analogy, there.

-All right... You just said "analogy".

-I know. I don't even know what it means.

-I'm so proud of ya.

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 coloured balls collected will be deducted from the total.

'Good luck!'

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

blast the balls!

'And look! The height range is on display there. Left to right,

'it's Keith, Ailish's dad, Ailish, the team captain in the middle,

'Ella, Ailish's best friend,

'all battling it out there, to see how many green balls

'they can catch and put them into the scoring cylinder, like that.

'That's the first one. Better do this fast - the time soon runs out.

'Any rogue coloured balls and we'll deduct those from your total.

'So, green balls only. Come on, quickly as you can.

'Lot's of encouragement from outside the Ball Room.

'Inside, a flurry of activity, look. 30 seconds left, come on!

'Time is running out.

'Quickly as you can. Concentrate.

'You can't pick the balls up off the floor of the Ball Room -

'you have to catch them whilst they're in the air.

'It's not as easy as it looks, this. Come on.

'Well done, Keith, got lots of balls in your hands.

'Not many of them green, though.

'There's one! Put it in, good work. Come on, girls.

'Help him out. As many green balls as you can.

'Time's running out. Come on, come on, come on!'

HORN BLARES

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Your dad, there...

Keith, you showed that Ball Room who's boss, right there.

-You showed him who's boss.

-You really did. 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...

..20 green balls.

-So close.

-So close.

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

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

Ailish's team, have you enjoyed it?

-Yeah.

-Give it up for Ailish's team, they've been brilliant.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Sorry, guys, but it's the end of the show.

GROANING I'm sad. Are you sad?

-Yes!

-Look at that face, she's sad.

Hey, don't worry, now, because we are coming back. Yay!

CHEERING

-All right, stop shouting, we'll see you next time on Copycats.

-Bye!
