Episode 40 Copycats

'Welcome to Copycats with your hosts

'Sam and Mark.

'And today's Copycats are

'Tara's team from Essex

'and Ffion's team from Cardiff.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

BOTH: Hello

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

Yes, if you ever needed a reason to copy the person next to you

to win an ultimate money-can't-buy prize, that time is now, my friends.

Yes, whether it's drawing, miming or playing the kazoo,

the better you copy, the more points you get.

Only true copycats will get the chance to enter

the Ball Room and play for the greatest prize in gameshow history.

It is, of course, the Copycats trophy!

AUDIENCE: Ooh!

-Shall we get cracking and meet the teams?

-Let's do this!

-All right!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

We've got my team, Ffion's team. Feeling confident?

-ALL: Yes.

-Yes.

Ffion, team captain, introduce the rest of your team, please.

OK, this is Sian, my friend, this is Amy, my friend,

this is Natalie, my cousin,

this is Tommy, my uncle and this is my dad, Derek.

-How you doing, guys? Good? Looking forward to it?

-ALL: Yes.

Smiley faces. That's what we want. It's Ffion's team, everyone.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Here we've got Tara's team.

-All right?

-ALL: Yes!

-You going to win it for me?

-ALL: Yes.

-Awesome!

Tara, introduce the gang.

These are my cool classmates, Caitlin and Chloe,

this is Chloe's dad, Gary, Caitlin's dad, Ian,

-and my dad Manny.

-Excellent.

Lovely to have you here. Best of luck for today. It's Tara's team.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

As with every game, the teams take it in turns

to copy pictures, actions and displays of musical genius.

To get as many points as possible, each team takes turns

to face the Copycats Challenge later.

We tossed a coin before the show which told us

Ffion's team play first. Let's play Copycats.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Come on! OK.

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

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

I have three cards in my hand.

Pick one of these cards.

You have 10 seconds to draw what's on it

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

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

but as we pass down the line you lose 10 points for a wrong answer.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL: Yes.

-Come on!

In that case, let's close the doors.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Tom, I have three cards for you, green and orange or purple.

Which one would you like?

-Green, please.

-Have a look at that.

-Thank you.

-Think you've got that?

-Yeah.

-Right, mate.

Best of luck.

Use your 10 seconds wisely. Ready, steady, draw.

Try and get as much detail as possible.

Only 10 seconds.

OK, Ffion, your go. Come on.

OK, Natalie, your turn.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Stop cooking!

-MARK LAUGHS

-Or something like that!

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

Is it a table tennis racket?

It is not a table tennis racket.

-Let's open the door. Natalie...

-I think it's a mirror.

-A holding mirror.

-Unfortunately, it's the wrong answer.

-For 30 points...

-Is it a drill?

It is not a drill. Del, you know this,

-20 points, tell me.

-I think it's a dripping paint brush.

You're right, my friend, it is!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It did morph. I got the impression

it was an Olympic torch, it was turning into.

But you did very well. Off the mark with 20 points. Round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Two cards left, orange or purple?

-Orange, please.

-Take a look.

-OK.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Ish!

Best of luck. You've got 10 seconds.

Ready, steady, draw.

Not bad at all, not bad at all.

Good copying.

Wicked. Ian, your turn.

Time to spare.

Time's up. OK, stop drawing.

What do you think, Manny, 50 points. What's the answer?

Is it a helmet?

It's not a helmet.

Which means, we're playing for 40 points.

-Chloe, any idea?

-A tortoise.

-Yes!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Nice work, guys. Well done. You get yourself 40 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, after Quick On The Draw, are Ffion's team painting the town red?

And in this crazy race we call Copycats, are Tara's team

-the tortoise or the hare?

-Oh!

Only time will tell! Let's look at the scores.

Mr D, what could they be?

'Well, Sam, after Quick On The Draw Tara's team have 40 points,

'and Ffion's team have 20 points.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yes, I like it!

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

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

And because my team won the toss, they will be going first.

My team, so you don't get a peek at what is in store,

we'll send you off.

Go on, enjoy yourselves. Practice that some more!

I don't think they need practice. They're good!

Ffion, as you are team captain, you now need to

select three people to face the awesome Copycats Challenge.

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

'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. 10 points are awarded for every green light.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

In three, two, one, tilt!

'Here we go, then, it's Ffion with Tom and Del,

'her uncle and her dad. Working together as a team,

'using their bodyweight to move this ball around the square.

'They're are all over the place, at the moment.

'Hovering above that one, gone green.

'Move onto the next one, if you can. That's it!

'Running around!

'It's working, they got another one.

'Come on, guys. Are they taking the advice, or not?

'Oh, there's another one! Good, good.

'What's the plan, here? Where are we going?

'Oh, I see, get that one. That's another one.

'Collecting another one. Very good.

'An interesting technique, sort of, all over the place, but it works.'

Doing brilliantly, guys.

'They're not moving too far, which is probably the answer.

'Just tilting the ball, making it move the direction they want it to.

'Going for one in the bottom corner, by the look of it. That's it,

'coming round that barrier and now it's got to drop down

'over that white light

'and if it does that properly it will go green. Has it touched? Yes!

'Where next, team? Just over 20 seconds left.

'Mark's offering advice where to go next. They're taking it.

'Up to the other corner of the square, they're going.

'Have they got time, though? Got 10 seconds left.

'There's one you could pick up. That's good! She's done it.

'Just got time to get one more. Top corner! Yes!'

END OF ROUND JINGLE

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Come on, guys.

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

Tara's team still need to face the challenge.

The points from these challenges can make all the difference,

because a dream ticket to the Ball Room is at stake.

One more time, give it up for Ffion's team, everyone.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Welcome back to the game, Tara's team, let's play Mime Time.

Caitlin, you will pick a card and mime it in ten seconds

to the person next to you, and so on.

There is a maximum of 50 points to be won.

If you think you know the answer, you can add a bit more detail to help.

As with every Pass It On game, you lose 10 points per incorrect answer.

-Perfect answers win perfect points. Copycats, are you ready?

-Yes!

Awesome! Let's close the doors!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-Caitlin, we've got three cards - which would you like?

-Blue.

-The green one!

-Oh, green!

-It looks a bit blue!

-OK.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Yeah.

OK, you've got ten seconds - best of luck. Ready, steady, mime!

Ha-ha! Nice work - Ian, your turn.

< Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

LAUGHTER Tara, your turn!

OK, next...

OK, Manny...

LAUGHTER

Time's up!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Good work!

Good miming - Gary, for 50 points, what's the answer?

Are you a DJ mixing on decks?

Yeah! APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

I've got to say, Tara's team, you guys have got the moves!

Especially you, Ian!

Well done, you get the full 50 points!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Lovely Natalie - purple or orange?

-Purple, please.

-OK, look at that...

Oh! Right, OK.

-OK. Got that in your head?

-Mm-hmm.

-Good luck!

Natalie - ready, steady, mime! Open the door!

OK, Ffion...

Go on, Tom.

Go on, Amy.

Watch your head!

-OK, stop miming!

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

It's a tough one, but for 50 points, Del, what's the answer?

Running a marathon.

It is not running a marathon.

Let's open the doors - for 40 points...

Is it warming up for something?

It's not warming up. Let's open the door, for 30 points, Amy?

-Just going for a run?

-It is not going for a run.

-Tom?

-Playing hopscotch?

-It's not - it did look like that.

But it's not the answer. It's a really tough one, this. Ffion?

Running and touching...the floor?!

No - what is it, Natalie?

Sorry, guys, it was a three-legged race!

Three-legged race. Granted, almost impossible to do with one person!

But unfortunately, you do get no points.

Give them a round of applause - very good exercising!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

So, after Mime Time, will Tara's team be DJ-ing at the Ball Room tonight?

And should Ffion's team stick to running on two legs in future?

It's time for those all-important scores. Mr D?

'Well, Mark, after Mime Time, Tara's team have 90 points.

'and Ffion's team still have 20 points!'

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-It's new, I like it.

-I like it! Practising!

-Stop it.

-OK.

-It's time to get serious once again -

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

Ffion's team built up a pile of points in their Challenge,

but did they do enough?

Now, it's Tara's chance to get some crucial points - are you ready?

-Yeah.

-Awesome!

-They look ready.

-Ffion's team, you leave us for now - say bye, everyone!

-See you later!

-APPLAUSE

-Nice.

-Nice people.

-Absolutely.

The result of the Challenge will be revealed at the end of the show,

when the extra points will determine which team gets to the Ball Room.

Very exciting. Tara, as team captain,

you need to choose three people for the Challenge. Over to you, Mr D...

'The Square - the Square contains 36 lights, 12 illuminated 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 AND CHEERING

In three, two, one...tilt!

'So, it's Tara's schoolmate Caitlin, her other classmate Chloe

'and Chloe's dad Gary, all on the Square, moving the ball around,

'to try to turn the 12 white lights green.

'That's the first one - need more of those.

'Ten points for every light that goes green.'

-Over this way!

-Nice!

'They're moving around the Square... That's it!

'Make the Square tilt, to move the ball

'towards the white lights, to turn them green - look at that.

'Gary is moving the girls around!

'They're talking to each other - it's a team game, this.

'You need to co-ordinate yourselves,

'make sure you're in the right part of the Square to make the ball move.

'So, you go to the top of the Square, and...tilt!

'That's good!

'You've done three!

'That's another one, that's good, that's four.

'25 seconds left - they've all moved across the Square

'to pick up another white light - which one are we going for, guys?!

'Fancy footwork there, very good.

'And it's working - that's another one, six!

'Ten seconds - can we make it seven?

'Quickly as you can...

'Can we pick up that one in the bottom corner?

'A few seconds left, come on...!'

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Nice one, guys!

One more round before we add those Challenge points to your total,

and we know which team will be playing for the trophy.

Give it up for Tara's team! APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Welcome back, Ffion's team - this is the music round.

Pick a well-known tune and recreate it to the person next to you

on the world famous Copycats Kazoo.

Everybody except Amy, please put your headphones on,

so you do not hear which song is being selected - thank you.

Our Copycats look ready - close the doors!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Amy, I've got three cards here - orange, purple or green?

Mmm, can I have orange, please?

Of course - have a look at that... You know it?

-Yep.

-That's a good start.

We're going to play it into the studio, so you can get the melody...

# You'll have to cry me out

# You'll have to cry me out... #

Great song. Best of luck, Amy.

Ready, steady, play - open the door.

SHE PLAYS TUNE ACCURATELY

That's fantastic.

OK. Come on.

That's brilliant. Go on, Del.

KEEPS RHYTHM, BUT MELODY SLIPS A BIT

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-Good playing!

I've got to say, I'm very impressed, a very musical team here.

But for the maximum of 50 points, Tom, what's the answer on my card?

-Penny Lane, by the Beatles.

-Great, great song,

-but it's the wrong answer - open the door.

-Walking On Sunshine.

Another great song, but unfortunately, that is also wrong.

-Open the door - this is where it got weird, Del!

-A bit strange!

-Yeah!

-Del, 30 points...

-Robbie Williams, Angels.

Good song, but wrong. Open the door. I think you know this, Sian.

Is it Cry Me Out?

Yeah!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

In my opinion, Amy, you did the best job on the kazoo

that I've ever heard on Copycats - and I've done a lot of shows!

Give it up for Ffion's team - 20 points!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-Chloe, two tunes left - green or purple?

-Purple, please.

-Take a look. You know that song?

-Yes.

We're going to play it now...

# Don't stop, make it pop DJ, blow my speakers up

# Tonight I'm a-fight Till we see the sunlight... #

Best of luck, you've got ten seconds - ready, steady, play!

Very good...

Brilliant!

OK, Ian...

OK, Manny...

MUFFLED, INDISTINCT PLAYING

LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Time's up, stop playing!

I've got to say, good copying down the line.

-Gary, for 50 points?

-I'll say Lady Gaga, Poker Face.

It's not, unfortunately, so we're playing for 40 points. Manny?

-Bohemian Rhapsody?

-Cracking tune, but it's not.

For 30 points - Ian, any idea?

My daughter said, "Just say Kung Fu Fighting," but that sounds stupid.

It's not stupid, it COULD be that. It's not, unfortunately,

-For 20 points, Caitlin?

-I've Got A Feeling?

I've Got A Feeling - it's not! We're playing for 10 points.

Tara, I reckon you know it, go on...

-Yeah. Is it Tick Tock by Kesha?

-Yeah!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

# Tonight I'm a-fight Till we see the sunlight... #

Excellently played by Chloe, excellently guessed by Tara.

Ten points are better than none. A round of applause!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

'So, after three rounds, Tara's team have 100 points

'and Ffion's team have 40 points!'

Strong performances from both teams in the Pass It On games,

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

-Which team smashed the Square, to get to the Ball Room?

-The wait is over.

-I can reveal that one team got... 60 points in the Challenge.

-AUDIENCE: Oooh!

I can also reveal that one team got...80 points.

AUDIENCE: Whooo!

The team going to the Copycats Ball Room to play for the trophy is...

..Tara's team!

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-Congratulations, Tara's team.

-Ffion's team, you've been brilliant, have you had a good time?

-Yes.

Give it up for Ffion's team.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

OK, Tara's team, you've made it this far - now it's time to compete

for the fabulous, money-can't-buy, lovely, shiny thing that is this,

-the Golden Copycats Trophy!

-APPLAUSE

You can see the excitement. OK, here is...the Ball Room.

Tara, who have you chosen to play the Ball Room, and why?

I've chosen Caitlin and myself

and her dad, Ian, because Caitlin's good at rounders,

and her dad plays rugby, and I...just want to do it!

I don't blame you, I want to do it, actually!

Before we open the doors to the Ball Room,

let's see what you have to do to win this.

'The Ball Room - players must collect 25 green balls

'and put them in the scoring cylinder before the time runs out.

'Any rogue-coloured balls will be deducted from the total. Good luck!'

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

If you're ready - in three, two, one, blast the balls!

'So, it's Caitlin, Tara and Ian.

'Caitlin, Tara's school friend, is good at rounders.

'And Ian, Caitlin's dad, is a rugby player. So, come on,

'you've got to catch the green balls, put them in the cylinder,

'25 green balls, we need.

'Any rogue colours will be deducted from your total,

'so avoid any of the other colours.

'They're beginning to stack up.

'"Come on, get those greens!" That's what they're saying!

'Good advice. Only got 30 seconds left now, guys. Come on.

'They're having fun, though, which is good. Quickly as you can...

'They're going in. There's another one. Well done, Ian.

'Working hard in there, catching those green balls. Ha-ha-ha-ha!

'Come on, girls, catch as many as you can!

'Come on, Caitlin. Come on, Tara.

'And Ian, of course. Come on...'

HOOTER BLASTS

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

OK, the balls have been counted and the result has been verified.

You needed 25 green balls to win the trophy.

I can reveal that you collected...

..24! Oh!

Guys, I'm so sorry!

So, unfortunately, you don't get your hands on the trophy,

but we are going to give you some Copycats T-shirts!

Every cloud...has a Copycats T-shirt inside it somewhere.

It's a saying that's not used enough! Have you had a good time?

-Yes!

-Give it up for Tara's team, everyone!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-I can't believe it, that is the end of the show!

-No way!

-Yes way.

Don't worry, we are going to be back next time on Copycats. Bye!

See you!
