Episode 48 Copycats

Welcome to Copycats, with your hosts Sam and Mark.

And today's Copycats are Molly's Team from County Armagh

and Jessica's Team from Sutton Coldfield.

BOTH: Hello!

-Welcome to Copycats, the game show where copying is good.

-Yes, it is.

I don't know if you've noticed,

but people are not copying enough for my liking.

What do you suggest we do?

I think we should do a bit of good copycop, bad copycop.

-Try saying that in a hurry.

-Can I be the good cop?

-I think I have the face for it.

-All right, we'll let you do that.

Let's imagine there's a potential Copycat contestant right here.

You start off nice. Imagine they're doing a terrible drawing.

-You start off nice, I'll give it to them hard!

-OK.

Hello. What is that? What on earth is that?

It's supposed to be a fluffy kitten, not a toilet brush with eyes!

-Don't look at me! Don't look at him either!

-Mark, what are you doing?

-You're meant to be the nice one.

-I'm a good cop gone bad.

Let's meet the teams.

APPLAUSE

All right, over here we've got Molly's Team.

You all right? ALL: Yes!

-Molly, team captain, introduce the gang for us.

-This is my friend, Alex.

This is my friend Fausta. And this is Alex's dad, Rodney.

This is my dad, Mark. This is my drama friend, Nicola.

Excellent. It's lovely to have you. Are you excited?

ALL: Yes!

I can feel the excitement coming off you. Are you going to win this?

ALL: Yes! That's all I need to know. Best of luck.

Give it up for Molly's Team! APPLAUSE

Molly's Team look ready. Jessica's Team, are you up for it?

ALL: Yes!

Jessica, as team captain, would you introduce the rest?

Yeah. This is my brother, Luke.

This is Georgie, my best friend, and her mum, Sally.

This is my mum, Jane, and her friend, Lisa.

It's lovely to have you here. Are you going to win?

-ALL: Yes!

-All right, best of luck.

Jessica's Team, everyone.

APPLAUSE

That's good, I like it. It looks like our teams are ready to start.

As always, the teams will take turns to copy pictures, actions

and displays of musical genius.

To get points, each team will take turns to face the Copycats Challenge

later on and a chance to win the Copycats trophy.

THEY CHEER

Yeah, it's a woo! We tossed a coin before the show.

Jessica's Team are going to be playing first. Let's play Copycats!

APPLAUSE

Jessica's Team, I hope you've been brushing up your artistic skills

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

I have three cards in my hand.

Pick one and then you will have ten seconds to draw

what is on the card for the player next to you, who is Jessica,

and so on down the line.

-Any good at drawing, Georgie?

-No.

-Oh!

Could get interesting, then.

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

As you pass it back,

you will lose points for every incorrect answer. Understand?

-Yeah.

-More importantly, are you ready?

-ALL: Yeah!

-All right, let's close the doors.

Georgie, we have three cards here, which one would you like?

-Purple.

-OK. Have a look at that.

-Yeah.

-Know that one?

-Yeah.

Best of luck, Georgie. Ready, steady, draw. Off you go.

Go on, Jessica, your turn.

Jane, your turn.

Sally, your turn.

Go on, Lisa.

Try drawing in as much detail as possible.

Stop drawing!

APPLAUSE

-Tricky, actually. For 50 points, Luke.

-Is it an Easter egg?

It is not an Easter egg. Let's open the door. For 40 points, Lisa.

Is it the world?

It is not the world. OK, let's open the door. For 30 points, Sally.

-Plate of food?

-It isn't a plate of food.

-Let's open the door. For 20 points, Jane.

-A globe?

It is not a globe. Let's open the door. We're playing for ten points.

-Jessica, have a look at Georgie's drawing there.

-Is it a turtle shell?

It does look like a turtle shell. It is not. Go on, Georgie, what is it?

-A football.

-It's a football!

She ran out of time, she just needed the centre bit.

Unfortunately, no points, but a great try.

-Give them a round of applause.

-APPLAUSE

OK, we have two cards left. Which one would you like?

-I'll have the green one.

-Have a look.

-OK.

-Think you can draw that?

-Think so.

-Excellent. You have ten seconds. The best of luck.

Ready, steady, draw!

OK.

OK, Mark, your turn.

OK, Alex, your turn.

OK, Rodney, your turn there.

Time's up! Stop drawing.

OK, interesting on this.

Molly, for a maximum of 50 points, what is the answer we're looking for?

-Is it a finger?

-Nice thinking. It does look a bit like that, actually.

It is not. We're playing for 40 points. Rodney, what do you reckon?

-Handbag?

-Oh, yeah! That's thinking. It's not, unfortunately.

We're playing for 30 points. Alex.

-A toaster?

-These are good guesses, actually. It's not, unfortunately.

We're playing for 20 points. Mark, what do you reckon?

-Some sort of flowerpot?

-It's not.

Which means were playing for ten points. Nicola, any idea?

-Is it a pram?

-Oh, it's not!

-Fausta, do you want to tell everybody?

-A bed.

-A bed!

That's a difficult one, actually.

Difficult in ten seconds to get as much detail as you can.

No points, but don't worry, there's still a long way to go.

Give them a round of applause. APPLAUSE

After Quick On The Draw, has Jessica's Team been caught offside?

Have Molly's Team slept through their alarm? Let's look at the scores.

-Mr D, what could they be?

-Well, Sam, after Quick On The Draw,

Molly's Team have no points and Jessica's Team also have no points.

-So close.

-Yeah! Both equally bad in that round.

In the next round, we'll test skill, nerve and determination.

Yes, the game just got serious

because this is the Copycats Challenge.

My team won the toss. They'll be going first.

My team don't get a sneak peek of what's in store. We'll send you off.

You'll be coming back. See you later, Molly's Team.

BOTH: Bye! Oh, lovely smiles.

Jessica, as team captain, you need to pick three people to face

the formidable Copycats Challenge.

First, let's find out what's in store.

Mr D, tell us what it could be.

The Rings. Players will be given three rings.

They must throw three at the corresponding coloured rod

displayed on the screen.

Ten points are awarded for every successful throw.

OK, guys, best of luck. If you're ready. In three, two, one, throw.

Jessica's mum to start. This is Jane.

Aiming at the blue rod on the far side. It's really tricky, this one.

OK, let's try white.

Jessica, team captain. Come on, Jessica. Yes! Very good.

Next, green for Luke, Jessica's brother.

Oh! Hitting the rod there, but not quite making it. OK. Red for Jane.

Right in the middle.

The rings are going everywhere. OK, Jessica, yellow.

See if you can get that yellow rod, come on.

Oh, very near! Very, very near!

OK, white for Luke. Lot of concentration on his face.

Oh, just one over the top there. Next, Jane.

Aiming at the green rod, right in front of you there. There it is.

Oh! That was very close. Next, blue, for Jessica.

Wow!

HE LAUGHS

Good try. Next. On the yellow, Luke.

That's on his left-hand side. There we go. Not quite. OK, red for Jane.

Right in the middle there. Knocking the rod there.

Next, green. For Jessica.

Oh!

White for Luke. Yes! He's got that one! And again!

Oh! That could've been three in a row there. OK. Jane on the blue.

We're running out of time, guys. Come on, quickly as we can.

OK, red! Can you do it?

APPLAUSE

Remember, we will add those challenge points to your score

after the music round.

Molly's Team still need to face the Copycats Challenge.

The points from the challenge could make the difference.

A dream ticket to the Ball Room is at stake.

-Give it up for Jessica's Team!

-APPLAUSE

Welcome back to the game, Molly's Team. Let's play Mime Time. Nicola,

I have three cards in my hand. Pick one and you'll have ten seconds

to mime whatever is on the card to Molly,

and so on and so on, down the line. Remember,

we're looking for silent performances.

Like other rounds, 50 points are up for grabs, but you will lose

ten of those points for every incorrect answer coming back.

Copycats, are you ready? ALL: Yes!

All right, let's close the doors.

Nicola, which card would you like?

-The orange one.

-The orange one. There you go.

-Thank you.

-Think you can do that?

-Yeah.

-OK. You have ten seconds. Best of luck.

Ready, steady, mime!

Nice! Molly, your turn.

OK, Mark.

OK, Alex, go for it.

Nice! Rodney, your turn.

Time's up! Stop miming. Not bad, not bad at all.

OK, Fausta, for 50 points, would you think the answer is?

-Drum?

-It's not a drum. We're playing for 40 points. Rodney?

-Cymbals.

Yeah! Good job!

Nice work! Well done, guys.

Great miming. You get yourselves 40 points. Well done!

APPLAUSE

OK, Jessica, I have two cards left. Which one would you like?

OK, have a look at that.

-Do you know that?

-Yeah.

-You know how to do that?

-Yeah.

-Best of luck, Jessica.

Ready, steady, mime!

Well done, very good.

OK, Jane.

He's nodding his head, good sign. Go on, Luke.

Lisa is putting her thumbs up.

Stop miming! OK.

APPLAUSE

Excellent miming all the way down the line,

but what is the answer on my card?

Is it stopping traffic and then letting another car go?

So close. Let's open the door.

We need to be a little bit more specific. Lisa?

Is it directing the traffic? Like a policeman would do.

It is not a policeman. OK.

-30 points, Luke.

-Traffic warden.

-It's not a traffic warden.

Come on, guys. 20 points.

Is it someone at an airport, a plane?

No, it's not, unfortunately.

-Let's open another door. Sally?

-Is a lollipop lady?

-Yay!

APPLAUSE

Sorry, I had to be really cruel there, but don't worry,

you get ten points. Well done, nice work.

APPLAUSE

So, are Molly's Team crashing into the Ball Room?

Or have Jessica's Team crossed safely into the finals?

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

Well, Mark, after Mime Time, Molly's Team have 40 points

and Jessica's Team have ten points.

APPLAUSE

All right, calm down, guys. It's time to get serious once again.

Molly's Team are about to face the Copycats Challenge.

Molly, it's your chance to add points to your score. Are you ready?

-ALL: Yeah! Good!

-They do look ready.

Jessica's Team, it's time for you to leave. We'll see you later. Bye!

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

to face the Copycats Challenge. Before you do that,

let's see what's in store for you. Mr D, what could it be?

The Rings.

As before, players will be given three rings.

They must throw them at the coloured rod displayed on the screen.

Ten points are rewarded for every successful throw.

APPLAUSE

Good luck, team. In three, two, one... Throw!

Alex's dad, Rodney, starts us off.

He's aiming at the blue rod on the far side. This is not easy.

Third go. OK, three rings each. Ten points for every successful throw.

Fausta is aiming at the white. And she has done it!

Excellent! Green next. For Alex.

Yes, well done! Lot of concentration.

Alex is Molly's other friend, of course. Next, it's back

to Rodney, for the red. Right in the middle.

Yellow next. Fausta, come on.

-HE LAUGHS

-Lovely smile. All right.

Let's try the white one, Alex!

HE LAUGHS

Brilliant! Green for Rodney, come on. Yes! He's done it!

Will he do it again? Third one. No. Almost, though. Blue for Fausta.

Right.

So far way, that one. Yellow for Alex.

Rings everywhere!

Red for Rodney.

He's rolling that, almost! And again!

OK, next, green for Fausta.

Go on, Fausta.

Oh! Hit the rod. Next, white for Alex.

So close!

Blue! Come on, we're running out of time here. Ten seconds.

Come on, Rodney.

Fausta, red. Come on, quickly.

Can we do this? Can we get one more? Yes, we can!

Time's up, well done!

Nice work, team. Well done on that last red one there. Brilliant.

There is only one more round before we had those points

to your total and we reveal which team will play

for the Copycats trophy. Give it up for Molly's Team.

APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Jessica's Team. This is the music round.

Now, it's pretty simple. Lisa,

pick a well-known tune and re-create it for the player next to you,

on the famous Copycats kazoo. Have you been practising?

-We have.

-Good!

OK, could everybody except for Lisa put your headphones on

so you do not hear which song is being selected. Thank you.

Our Copycats are ready - let's close the doors.

Lisa, you look petrified. Don't be.

We have three cards here. Which one would you like?

-I'm going to go for purple.

-Have a look at that.

-Any idea?

-Yeah, I have heard it.

OK, we are going to play it in the studio, so you can get the melody

in your head. Good luck, Lisa.

-Thank you.

-# Cos it's a beautiful day

# We're looking for something dumb to do

# Hey, baby

# I think I want to marry you. #

OK, Lisa, the best of luck. Ready, steady, play. Open the door!

Brilliant!

OK, Luke.

Good. Jessica.

Good. Sally.

Stop playing!

APPLAUSE

This was a tricky one.

For a maximum of 50 points, Jane,

any idea of the answer that I've got on my card?

-Black And Yellow?

-It is not Black And Yellow.

Let's open the door. For 40 points, Sally?

-Bad Romance?

-Is not Bad Romance by Lady Gaga. Let's open the door.

For 30 points, any idea?

-Jessie J, Price Tag?

-It is not Jessie J, Price Tag.

-Let's open the door. Luke?

-Dynamite?

No, it's not Dynamite. OK. Georgie, any idea?

Lisa, you were fantastic.

-Is it Bruno Mars, I Think I Want To Marry You?

-Yeah!

Brilliant!

Well done!

# Hey, baby

# I think I want to marry you. #

That was so tough! Well done, you get ten points.

Round of applause. That was brilliant!

APPLAUSE

-OK, lovely Molly, we have two cards left, which would you like?

-Orange.

Orange. Take a look.

-Do you know that song?

-No.

Don't worry, we're going to play it. Have a good listen

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

# I just can't refuse it Like the way you do this

# Keep on rocking to it

# Please don't stop, please don't stop the music

# I want to take you away... #

Sound familiar?

-Yeah.

-Good. You have ten seconds, the best of luck.

Ready, steady, play.

Very good.

Not bad at all. Alex, your turn.

Nicola.

OK, Fausta.

Time's up! Stop playing. Not bad playing, actually, down the line.

Not bad at all.

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

Is it All Fired Up from The Saturdays?

All Fired Up by The Saturdays, it's not. We're playing for 40 points.

-Fausta?

-Em...

-Britney Spears, Till The World Ends?

-It's not.

-We're playing for 30 points. Nicola.

-Lady Gaga, Born This Way?

-It's not Lady Gaga. We're playing for 20 points. Alex?

-The Flood?

It's not The Flood. We're playing for the minimum, ten points.

-Stop The Music?

-Yeah!

# I like the way you do this

# Keep on rocking to it... # Oh, yeah!

# Please don't stop the music. # Nice work.

Don't Stop The Music, by Rihanna. Well done!

Molly, excellent playing there. Well done. You get yourselves ten points.

APPLAUSE

After three rounds,

Molly's Team have 50 points

and Jessica's Team have 20 points.

APPLAUSE

All right.

Not the best artists, although points were scored in all the other rounds.

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

Which team racked up the rings?

And which team are on the guest list for the Ball Room?

-If you're not, you're not coming in.

-Know what I mean?

-The wait is over.

I can reveal that one team got 30 points in the challenge.

Respectable. I can also reveal that one team got 40 points.

-AUDIENCE: Woo!

-I know.

Which means the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Molly's Team!

APPLAUSE

Which means, Jessica's Team,

I'm afraid we have to say goodbye to you.

-Had a good time?

-ALL: Yes!

You're a fantastic team. Give it up for Jessica's Team.

Well done, guys.

APPLAUSE

OK, Molly's Team, you've made it this far. Now it's time to compete

for the fabulous, limited edition, lovely, shiny thing that is this!

-The Copycats trophy.

-AUDIENCE: Woo!

-It's so shiny I can hardly look at it.

-It is. Here is the Ball Room.

Molly, who have you chosen to play the Ball Room?

-Me, Nicola, and Mark.

-Excellent!

Before we open the doors, let's see 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!

OK, best of luck. In three, two, one...

Blast the balls!

Inside the Ball Room, it's Molly, Mark and Nicola.

Oh, look, lots of catching going on, well, trying to catch, anyway.

-HE LAUGHS

-Come on.

You're not allowed to pick them up from the Ball Room floor,

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

Then pop them into the scoring cylinder, if you would.

This, for the Copycats trophy. That's it, that's the way to do it.

Yes, good. Not bad at all. There's another one going in.

Well done, Mark.

And another area and another. And another! Nice scoring!

And a lot of shrieking from outside the Ball Room.

That's support, that is.

Well done, Mark. Come on. Another one going in there, as well.

He's doing a lot of catching, look at that.

He's catching lots of them and then sorting them out.

It's the green ones we're after. Come on. Just a few seconds to go.

Can't we? Can we? I think we can!

KLAXON SOUNDS

Well done, guys. Good effort. Unfortunately,

we can't count that last ball because it went in just as the klaxon went.

-Sorry, we can't count that.

-Stupid klaxon!

The rest have been counted and the result has been verified.

You needed 25 green balls to win the trophy.

I can reveal that you collected...

..35!

THEY SCREAM

That's for you! Hold it up!

-Champions! Well done!

-Nice work, guys!

I'm about to ask the stupidest question in the world,

-are you happy?

-ALL: Yes!

Give it up for Molly's Team, everyone!

Great! What a great way to end the show. I can't believe it's all over.

Don't worry, we'll see you next time on Copycats. Bye!
