Episode 46 Copycats

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

And today's Copycats are Zara's team from Glasgow

and Esme's team from Essex.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Hello!

-Hello!

-Welcome to Copycats, the game show where you could bag

the ultimate money-can't-buy prize.

Yes, you can forget all the big things in the universe,

like Formula One, the Royal Wedding,

even my second toe on both feet being longer than the big toe...

It's true, y'know.

-Wow!

-Yeah!

..because today's teams will be playing

for the greatest prize in game-show history.

-It's the Copycats Trophy!

-AUDIENCE: Whoo!

-Shall we meet today's Copycats?

-I thought you'd never ask.

-Let's.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Over here we've got the winning team. We've got Esme's team!

-How you doing? You all right?

-Yes!

Would you introduce your team, please?

This is my sister Eden, this is my mum Julie,

this is my dad Stewart, this is my cousin Heather

-and this is my friend Jenny.

-Fantastic.

-Are you looking forward to it?

-Yeah.

-It's Esme's team!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-All right! Good luck.

-Over here we've got Zara's team. You all right?

-Yes!

OK, Zara, introduce the team for us.

OK, beside me I've got my friend Hayley and my friend Charly,

and then up here I've got my mum, my gran

-and Anne Marie, who's my mum's best friend.

-OK!

Lovely to have you all here. Are you going to win this for me today?

-Yeah!

-Yeah! That's what we like to hear. OK, the best of luck for today.

It's Zara's team, everybody!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I've got a good feeling about this.

It looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

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 it in turns

-to face the Copycats Challenge. But that's later, so don't worry.

-Indeed.

We tossed a coin earlier, and Esme's team are playing first.

Let's play Copycats!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

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

I have three cards in my hand. You'll choose one of these cards.

You have ten seconds to draw what's on that card for the next player,

and then so on and so on down the line.

There is a maximum of 50 points to be won in this round,

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

for every wrong answer. So perfect pictures get perfect points.

Are you ready?

-Yes.

-Yes! OK, in that case, let's close the doors.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-How are you feeling, Heather? Confident?

-Good, yeah.

-Yeah? OK.

Well, we've got purple, we've got orange or green.

-Which one would you like?

-The purple.

-OK. Have a look at that.

-Yeah? Got that?

-Yeah.

-Best of luck, Heather. Ready, steady, draw.

Open the door.

Excellent drawing. OK, Stewart.

Try and get as much detail in as possible.

OK, Esme.

Go for it, Jennifer.

HE MOUTHS

OK, Eden.

-Stop drawing, please!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I'm not going to lie -

that was excellent all the way down the line.

But for the maximum 50 points, Julie,

-what's the answer I've got on the card?

-Is it a vase of flowers?

It's so close, but we cannot accept "vase of flowers".

OK, let's open the door. Eden, what are we looking for?

-Flowers.

-We've got to be more specific

than just "flowers", I'm afraid.

OK, let's open the door. Come on.

-A bunch of flowers.

-Thank you!

-A bunch of flowers! Well done!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I know it might seem mean,

but unfortunately, we have to be so specific here on Copycats.

But don't worry about it, you get 30 points.

Congratulations.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-OK, Charly, I've got two cards left. We've got green or orange.

-Orange.

Orange. Take a look.

-Reckon you could draw that?

-Yeah.

OK, the best of luck. You've got ten seconds. Ready, steady, draw.

OK, Amanda.

HE LAUGHS Anne Marie!

OK, Zara.

Hayley.

Time's up! OK! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

For a maximum of 50 points,

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

-A television?

It's not a television, which means we're playing for 40 points. Hayley?

-Is it a jellyfish?

-Oh, nice thinking! It's not a jellyfish,

-which means we're playing for 30 points. Zara?

-Is it a chair?

Oh, clever! It's not a chair,

which means we're playing for 20 points.

Is it a table?

It's not a table. SHE LAUGHS

We're playing for a minimum of ten points. Amanda, any idea?

-I'll go for spaceship.

-It's not a spaceship.

-Tell everybody, Charly.

-Garden rake.

-Garden rake!

Ohhhhh! Sorry about that, guys.

So you don't get any points for Quick On The Draw.

But it was entertaining. We went from chairs, tables,

spaceships, everything. Give them a round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

After Quick On The Draw, roses are red, violets are blue,

are Esme's team off to the loo?

-I mean Ball Room.

-And are Zara's team raking in the points?

Let's find out. Mr D, over to you.

Well, Sam, after Quick On The Draw, Zara's team have no points

and Esme's team have 30 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Still a long way to go.

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

Yes, the game just got serious,

because this is the Copycats Challenge.

My team won the toss and go first.

Now, my team, so that you don't get a sneaky peek of what's in store,

we're going to send you off. Don't worry, you'll be back.

-Off you go!

-Bye!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Bye!

-Bye, Zara's team!

-Ahhh!

-Now, Esme, 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, please?

'The Square. The Square contains 36 lights.

'Twelve will illuminate white.

'Players tilt the Square to guide the ball over the white lights

'to turn them green.

'Ten points are awarded for every green light.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Three, two, one, tilt!

'Here we go, then. Ten points for every green light.'

'You've got to work together as a team, talk to each other.

'Keep together is probably the answer. Use your body weight.

'That's it, good. That's one already.

'They ARE talking to each other, which is good.

'Very good, two now.

-'She's fallen off, Heather. Come on!

-HE LAUGHS

'All you do is just get back on. Simple as that.

'Lots of advice from fellow team members.

'But that's very good.

'Excellent, another one. You can see they're working together,

'moving across the Square as a group

'and making that ball move, which is very good. Nice and gently, as well.

'That's it.

'They've got the measure of this. They're moving that ball.

'They know to go to the top of the Square to move it upwards.

'Very good! Excellent.

'You can see the little valleys. It's like a maze.

'You guide that ball. They're guiding it towards one.

'And it's gone green! Wow! This is very good.

'30 seconds left, guys. Come on.

'That's another one. Yeah. Got to wait for it to go green.

'That's how it works.

-HE LAUGHS

-'Heather nearly went again!

'They're having good fun. That's the main thing.

'No, you've got to get it to go over the white light.

'So you've got to revisit that one. Yes,

'it's gone green. Brilliant.

'While you're in that area, do that last white one.

'And it's worked.

'Now you move that ball right across the Square.

'But they are keeping together. A few seconds left. Come on!'

-Stop, stop, stop!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, girls, come on. Come down here.

We'll add those Challenge points to your total after the Music Round.

Zara's team still need to face the Challenge.

Remember, those points could make the difference,

because the Ball Room is at stake.

Give it up one more time for Esme's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back to the game, Zara's team. This is Mime Time.

OK, well, I've got three cards. You're going to pick one.

You have ten seconds to mime what's on that card to the next person,

and so on and so on down the line.

But remember, silent performances.

There's a maximum of 50 points to be won, but don't forget,

you will lose ten points for every incorrect answer.

-So, Copycats, are you ready?

-Yeah!

-Awesome. Let's close the doors.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Zara, three cards. Which would you like?

The green one. Take a look.

Reckon you can do that? You've got ten seconds. The best of luck.

Ready, steady, mime.

Pretty good. Susannah, your turn.

OK, Hayley, your turn.

Interesting!

Anne Marie, your turn.

Time's up!

Stop miming! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK! Charly, for 50 points, what's the answer we're looking for?

Climbing up a ladder?

It's not climbing up a ladder, which means we're playing for 40 points.

-Anne Marie, what do you reckon?

-Is it pulling down a blind?

Nice thinking. It's not pulling down a blind. We're playing for 30 points.

-Amanda?

-Stripping wallpaper?

The closest that there could ever be

but without getting the answer right. LAUGHTER

So we're playing for 20 points. Hayley?

Putting up wallpaper?

Yay!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done. You get yourselves 20 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Eden, two cards left, orange or purple. Which one would you like?

-Orange, please.

-OK. There you go. Have a look at that.

Yeah? You got that? Best of luck!

OK, ready, steady, mime.

OK!

Oh!

OK, Stewart!

LAUGHTER

Go on, Jennifer!

-Stop miming!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Heather, for 50 points, what's the correct answer?

A cold person crying.

-It is not what I've got on the card!

-SHE LAUGHS

Let's open the door.

Someone shivering.

It is not someone shivering. It's a very good guess.

OK, open the door. For 30 points.

-Someone who's brokenhearted.

-Ohhh!

We've all been there, ain't we?

Unfortunately, it's the wrong answer.

OK, let's open the door. For 20 points?

-Is it a baby?

-It is not a baby.

OK, Julie?

Is it in a storm, the wind, and she's caught...

No? In the storm?

It is not, unfortunately. Eden?

Going down a water slide.

-See?

-Ohhhh!

-Yeah, see?

Oh! That was very, very tricky in the confines of that booth,

but, Esme's team, you don't get any points.

But give them a round of applause. Come on!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, after Mime Time, have Zara's team papered over the cracks?

And are Esme's team...

BOTH: # ..slip-sliding away? #

-We've still got it, eh?

-We never had it, mate.

-No, we didn't.

Now those all-important scores. Mr D, what could they be?

Well, Mark, after Mime Time,

Zara's team have 20 points

and Esme's team have 30 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Close!

-It is very, very close, and it's time to get serious once again

as Zara's team face the Challenge.

Earlier on in the show, Esme's team

built up a pile of points in the challenge.

But did they do enough? Only time will tell.

Now, Zara, it's your chance

to attempt to add some crucial points to your overall score.

-Are you all ready?

-Yeah!

-Awesome!

-Yes! Esme's team,

it's time for you to leave.

Say goodbye to Esme's team for the time being, everyone. Bye!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-See you later. Nice people.

-Lovely.

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

when the extra points will determine which team

-wins tickets to the Ball Room. It's tense.

-Massively tense.

Zara, as captain, you need to select three people

to face the daunting Copycats Challenge.

But before that, you get to see what's in store.

-That'd be nice. They want to know, don't they?

-Yeah.

-Mr D, over to you.

'The Square. As before, the Square contains 36 lights.

'Twelve will illuminate white.

'Players tilt the Square to guide the ball over the white lights

'to turn them green.

'Ten points are awarded for every green light.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

In three, two, one, tilt!

'OK, here we go, then. Ten points for every green light.

'This is a game of tactics, really.

'You've got to decide which way you want that ball to go.

'You act as a team, you talk to each other.

'And you bring that ball around the Square, like they're doing...

'slowly. There we are.

'Is that one? Yes, good! We're off to a good start.

'Come on, then.

'Gently does it. That Square is rocking a bit.

'Is that good for the ball? It's going forward.

'Yes, that's two.

'Now, which one are they going for next? That top corner, are they?

'No, they're coming down to the next white light. Will it go green?

'Yes, it has. Good.

'And there's the next one. This is good. This is good.

'Now, stand together. Act as a team.

'Talk to each other. Come on. You've spread out across the Square.

'Is that the right thing to do?

'Just over 30 seconds left, guys.

'You've got to get that ball now. You've done those. Come on.

'Back towards this white one. That's where you'll do the scoring.

'That's it, through that gap. And has that gone green?

'Yes, it has. On to the next one.

'Oh, good. But you're running out of time.

'Come on. Fifteen seconds left!

'Quickly as you can! So much encouragement from the sidelines!

-'Look at that!

-HE LAUGHS

'She should be on the Square, really. Come on.

'Now see if you can get this one. Come on. Seconds away, come on!

'Quickly as you can!'

Time's up!

OK!

One more round to play before we add those points to your total

and we find out who's playing for the Copycats Trophy.

Give it up for Zara's team, everybody!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Esme's team.

This is the Music Round. All you have to do

is pick a well-known tune and play it for the next person

on the now world-famous Copycats kazoo.

OK, could everybody except for Esme

put their headphones on so you don't hear which song is being selected?

Thank you very much.

Right, our Copycats are ready. Let's close the doors.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Esme, we have got orange, purple or green. Which one would you like?

-Purple.

-Purple?

-OK.

-You know that?

-Yeah.

-OK! We're going to play it into the studio

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

# Oh, written in the stars A million miles away

# A message to the main Oh, oh-h-h... #

Great tune. Best of luck, Esme.

All right, ready, steady, play. Open the door.

Brilliant. OK, Julie.

Well done. OK, Stewart.

KAZOO MAKES A TUBA SOUND

LAUGHTER

Come on, Jennifer. Good luck!

All right, Heather.

-Stop playing!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, for the maximum 50 points, Eden?

-Mamma Mia?

-Mamma Mia it is not, I'm afraid.

Let's open the door. Heather?

EastEnders theme tune.

It is not the EastEnders theme tune. Let's open the door. Jennifer?

-Poker Face?

-By Lady Gaga?

Good guess. But it's not right, I'm afraid. Stewart?

Erm, Rocky theme tune?!

It is not the Rocky theme tune! Julie?

# Mission from the stars

# A million miles away

# Mission...through the day Oh, oh-h-h... #

You've sung it, so we're going to give you ten points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# Written in the stars A million miles away

# A message to the main Oh, oh-h-h... #

All right, well done, guys, you get ten points. Better than nothing!

Give them a round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Hayley, two tunes left. Green or orange?

-Orange.

-Orange. Take a look.

-Do you know that tune?

-I don't know!

We are going to play it in the studio,

so try and get the melody in your head. Let's hear it.

# Her name was New York, New York

# And she took his heart away... #

-Don't worry, Hayley, it'll be fine.

-OK.

-I've got faith in you, OK?

Ten seconds. Ready, steady, play.

It's good! It's good.

Oh! Nice!

Time's up! OK!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Amanda, for 50 points?

-Bare Necessities?

-Bare Necessities!

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

The Paddington Bear theme tune?!

It wasn't the Paddington Bear theme tune, which means

we're playing for 30 points. Susannah?

Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life?

It's not, I'm afraid, which means we're playing for 20 points.

-Anne Marie?

-Is it Girls Just Want To Have Fun?

It's not Girls Just Want To Have Fun, even though they do.

OK, we're playing for the minimum of ten points.

-Is it Dynamite?

-It's not. Hayley did a good job. Tell everybody, Hayley.

-It was New York by Paloma Faith.

-Paloma Faith, yeah. Let's hear it.

# Her name was New York, New York

# And she took his heart away... #

That is a bit of a tough one. Well done, Hayley, you did play it well.

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

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'Right, so, after three rounds,

'Zara's team have 20 points

'and Esme's team have 40 points.'

Right! Both teams put points on the board in different rounds,

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

Which team smashed the Square?

Which team are shimmying to the Ball Room?

The wait is over. I can reveal that one team got 50 points

-in the Challenge.

-ALL: Whoo!

I can also reveal that one team got...

80 points. ALL: Whoo!

Mm, surely not!

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Esme's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So I'm afraid that means we have to say goodbye

to Zara's team, unfortunately. You've been awesome.

-Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-Yes!

Give it up for Zara's team, everybody!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Congratulations, Esme's team, you've made it this far.

But it's now time to compete for

the fabulous, money-can't-buy, lovely, shiny, springy thing

-that is this, the Copycats Trophy!

-ALL: Whoo!

Jennifer, touch it. Not yet. All right.

-Not yet.

-Here is the Ball Room.

All right, Esme, who have you chosen to play the Ball Room?

Heather and Jennifer.

Before we open the doors, let's take a look at what you have to do

-to win this shiny, golden beacon of loveliness.

-And it does that.

-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!'

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Three, two, one... blast the balls!

-Blast the balls!

'Here we go, then. 25 green balls we're looking for

'in that scoring cylinder, please. Come on, girls.

'Heather, Jennifer and Esme are in there

'picking as many of the green balls out of the air as they can.

'But if they get any rogue-coloured balls collected -

'there are other colours in there - they'll be deducted from the total.

'Quite a few in there already. This is very good going!

'Come on, quickly as you can. Time runs out very quickly in this game.

'30 seconds left.

'Lots of advice from outside the Ball Room.

'Inside, real concentration.

'Not doing too badly, though. Look at that, two, three going in.

'Excellent.

'Esme's cousin, Jen, Esme's friend, and the team captain, Esme,

'catching as many green balls as they can.

'They've only got ten seconds left. Come on, girls!

'Quickly, quickly, quickly! They're stacking up, though, which is good.

'Come on, quickly, quickly! Have they got enough? Come on!'

HOOTER BLARES

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Cracking effort.

-Very good effort.

-A really, really good effort.

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...

..31!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

There you go! Hold it high!

# Championes, championes! #

That was amazing. You absolutely smashed it.

Give it up for Esme's team, everyone.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-You're not going to believe this.

-I know.

-It's only t'end of t'show, innit?

-ALL: Awwww!

'Ey, don't worry, we'll be back next time.

-We'll see you on Copycats!

-Bye!

-Bye!
