Episode 50 Copycats

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

'And today's Copycats are Beth's Team from Lancashire

'and Emma's Team from Edinburgh.'

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-BOTH:

-Hello!

And welcome to Copycats, the game show where copying is good.

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

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

Mark, I've had a letter.

On headed paper.

Yep, it's from the big cheese, the grand fromage.

-He wants to give me my own show.

-What?

-AUDIENCE:

-Wooooo!

-AUDIENCE:

-Awww.

You mean, no more Sam and Mark?

-Nah.

-Who's going to rub your feet after an hard day?

Who'll cut up your pie and chips?

Who'll help you dye your hair?

I'm going to miss your stupid face.

Actually, come to think of it, that is a rubbish idea! Aw, mate!

I could never leave you.

-Aw! Shall we meet today's teams?

-Yeah!

-BOTH:

-Together? Yeah!

-Hang on, "stupid face"?

-Let's go!

-OK.

Hello, Emma's Team. Emma, team captain. How are you feeling, good?

-Great.

-I like that. Better than good, it's great.

You want to introduce the rest of your team, Emma?

This is my best friend, Sarah.

This is my other best friend, Rebecca. My mum, Yvonne,

-my Auntie Moira, and my friend Sarah's mum, Michele.

-Hi!

Are you all looking forward to today's show?

-ALL:

-Yes!

You look up for it, I like this, girls. Best of luck.

It's Emma's Team, everyone.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Beth's Team, welcome! You going to win it for me, today?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

Beth, introduce everybody.

This is Ellie, my best friend, this is Abi, my other best friend,

this is Ellie's mum, this is Abi's mum, and this is my mum.

Awesome! Well, the best of luck for today. It's Beth's Team, everybody.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

It looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

As with every game of Copycats, the teams will take 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,

and a chance to play for the ultimate game show trophy!

AUDIENCE: Ooooh!

That's right.

We tossed a coin before the show,

and Beth's Team are going to play first. Let's play Copycats!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

OK, Beth's Team, I hope you've been brushing up on your artistic skills,

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

Beth, you choose one of these cards and have ten seconds

to draw whatever is on that card for the person next to you,

and so on down the line.

There is a maximum of 50 points,

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

for every incorrect answer.

So, Copycats. Are you ready?

-Yes!

-Awesome! Let's close the doors.

OK, Beth, I've got three cards. Green, orange or purple?

-Orange.

-Orange. Take a look.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-Yeah.

The best of luck, you've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, draw!

Not bad, not bad.

Not much to go on, Ellie, I'm not going to lie.

Time to spare. Abi, your turn.

Catriona, your turn.

OK.

Time's up! Stop drawing. OK.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Julie, for 50 points, what's the answer?

-A truck with no middle.

-A truck with no middle!

It's not a truck with no middle.

-Sorry.

-Which means we're playing for 40 points.

-Is it an ice lolly?

It's not an ice lolly. We're playing for 30 points.

-What do you reckon?

-Top hats?

-It's not the answer,

which means we're playing for 20 points. Abi?

-Are they rain boots, like Wellington boots?

-Oh, they're not.

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

Skyscrapers?

It's not. Beth, do you want to tell everybody?

It's a waistcoat!

SAM LAUGHS

So, unfortunately, that means at the end of the first round,

you don't get any points. There's still a long way to go, though.

Give them a round of applause.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

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

-Purple.

-Purple. Have a look at that.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Looking confident, Sarah.

I like this confidence in your eyes.

-OK, the best of luck.

-Thank you.

-Ready, steady, draw! Off you go.

OK, Yvonne, ten seconds, go on.

OK, Rebecca.

OK, Moira.

You're doing it with time to spare.

OK, Michele. You look petrified.

Stop drawing, please!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

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

-Is it a bowling pin?

-That's what I was thinking! It's not.

Let's open the door.

A light bulb?

It is not a light bulb. OK, let's open the door for 30 points. Moira?

-Is it a lamp?

-It is not a lamp.

-Rebecca?

-A dummy?

A dummy? It is not a dummy. OK.

Yvonne, for the minimum of ten points?

Could it be like a tin with deodorant or spray in it?

-That is the wrong answer. Sarah, tell everyone.

-A hot water bottle.

Ah! It's a hot water bottle, of course!

Don't worry, plenty of time.

But it does mean that Emma's team get zero points.

Give them a round of applause anyway.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

After Quick On The Draw, do Beth's Team need to smarten up their act?

And are Emma's Team in hot water? Let's look at the scores.

Mr D, what could they be?

'Well, Mark. After Quick On The Draw,

'Beth's Team have no points,

'and Emma's Team also have no points.'

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Could not be any closer.

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

Yes, the game just got serious,

because this is the Copycats Challenge.

Because my team won the toss, they will go first.

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

we're going to send you away, but give it up for Emma's Team.

-SAM AND MARK:

-Bye!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-Go and have a hot chocolate, or something.

-Yeah, why not?

Marshmallows? Nah.

Now, Beth, as team captain, you need to select three people

to face the daunting Copycats Challenge.

-But before that, let's see what's in store. Mr D, over to you.

-What?

'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.'

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Three, two, one, let's roll!

'Ten points for every successful catch, then.

'Here we go. Catriona starts with the green tube.

'Oh, careful!

'Next, the blue tube for Abi.

'Come on, Abi. Round you go, got to be fast.

'OK, let's try the yellow one for Julie. This is Ellie's mum.

'Oh! Another yellow one, this time for Catriona.

'Catriona, you can do this. Come on. Round and round. No.

'Not to worry. On we go to Abi, and a white tube for you, Abi.

'Very nearly. Very nearly. Next, Julie.

'And the black tube. It is very fast, this one.

'Quite a steep angle. That's how it works.

'Next it's Catriona, and the blue tube.

'Come on, come on! Yes! Well held! Next.

'The red tube for Abi. Pops it in, oh, not quite there in time.

'Next time, perhaps. Here we go, Julie and the green tube.

'Let's see how it goes. Oh! Next.

'Catriona, yellow. Come on, Catriona. Yes!

'Excellent. The golden tube has arrived!

'Here we go, this is the one!

'Oh, Abi! So close, so close! Next, the blue tube for Julie.

'Put it in at that end and catch it successfully at the other.

'Oh! Next, Catriona. Come on! Catriona's good at this.

'Here we go, the white tube.

'And then go to the other end and - yes! Well caught.

'The black tube, now, for Abi.

'Come on, Abi, you can do this, as well. Oh! Next, Julie.

'Come on, we're running out of time, guys.

'The white tube, can you do this? Oh! That was so close!

'Oh!'

Time's up! Time's up!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Not bad at all!

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

Emma'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 Beth's Team, everybody.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Welcome back, Emma's Team. Yeah! Let's play Mime Time.

OK. Emma, I've got three cards in my hand,

you're going to pick one,

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

for the player next to you, which is Moira, and then so on down the line.

Best of luck, girls. Let's close the doors!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

OK, Emma. Which one would you like?

-The orange one.

-OK, have a look at that.

-You got that in your head?

-Yeah.

-All right.

Ready, steady, mime! Open the door!

OK, Moira.

OK, Rebecca.

OK, Michele.

LAUGHTER

-LAUGHTER

-Go on, Sarah.

MARK CHUCKLES

Stop miming!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-For the maximum 50 points, Yvonne?

-Cutting out snow blocks?

It's wrong, I'm afraid. Funnily enough!

OK, let's open the door. For 40 points, Sarah?

Were you poking the Jenga out of the gaps?

That's not a bad guess, but it's wrong. Let's open the door.

Picking apples off a tree?

It's wrong, I'm afraid. OK, let's open the door. Rebecca?

Building a house?

It is not building a house.

OK, for the minimum of ten points.

Making a bag of fish and chips?

-What is it, Emma?

-It's sewing.

-Sewing! Aww.

Unfortunately, you get no points.

But give her a round of applause.

I was entertained! I was entertained!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-OK, Abi, got two cards. Purple or green?

-Purple, please.

Purple. Take a look.

-Reckon you could do that?

-Yeah.

-Good.

Excellent. You got ten seconds.

The best of luck. Ready, steady, mime!

Simple but effective.

SHE CHUCKLES

Julie.

SHE CHUCKLES

All right, Beth. Your turn.

Time's up! Stop miming.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-For 50 points, what's the answer?

-Bunny rabbit?

It's not a bunny rabbit.

-We're playing for 40 points. Beth?

-Is it a hare?

It's not a hare.

-Playing for 30 points. Julie?

-Is it a kangaroo?

It's not a kangaroo! Which means we're playing for 20 points.

Is it a donkey?

LAUGHTER It's not a donkey.

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

-Hamster.

It's not. Abi, do you want to tell everybody?

-It was a meerkat.

-It was a meerkat.

Anyway, unfortunately, that means you don't get any points in Mime Time.

But give them a round of applause anyway.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

So, after Mime Time, have Emma's Team stitched themselves up?

Hmm. And are Beth's Team running for cover like meerkats do, you know?

-I didn't know that.

-And then they run off for cover.

-OK.

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

'Now we know.

'After Mime Time, Beth's Team still have no points

'and Emma's Team also have no points.'

Time to get serious because Emma's Team

will face the Copycats Challenge.

Earlier in the show,

Beth's Team built a pile of those points in their challenge,

but did they do enough?

-Only time will tell.

-You're so right.

Emma, it's your chance to attempt to add crucial points

-to your overall score. Are you ready?

-Definitely.

Beth's Team, time for you to leave but don't worry,

-you'll be coming back. See you later.

-Bye-bye.

The results of the challenge will be revealed at the end of the show

when the extra points scored will determine

which team wins their tickets to the Ball Room.

-It's tense.

-Do you need a massage?

-Not from you.

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

to face the Copycats Challenge.

Before that, you get to have your first look

at what we've got in store.

Mr D, tell us, will you?

'The Tubes.

'As before, 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 given for every catch.

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

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

Three, two, one, let's roll.

'Here we go. Emma, team leader to start with a green tube.

'She puts it in, can she catch it?

'Not quite. Rebecca to go next and it's a blue tube for you.

'We don't care what you do at that end,

'catch it at the other, that's the main thing.

'Never mind, try again next time. Moira, your go now.

'The yellow... Very nearly.

'Yellow again. Here we go. Emma this time to have a go.

'That was close as well.

'Rebecca, white tube, please,

'round to the far end and catch it if you would.

'Bounced. Next, it's Moira.

'Black tube.

'Put it in at that end and race round to the other.

'Yes, we're off and running.

'Next, it's Emma and the blue tube.

'Em, never mind. Rebecca, red tube for you.

'Right, at the top there and she's done it.

'Moira, try your hand at the green tube, if you would.

'Pop it in gently at that end. Give it time to catch the other end.

'Brilliant. Well done.

'We've got Emma on the yellow. Not quite.

'Rebecca and it's the golden tube.

'The game could be over if she gets this.

'Never mind.

'Moira, the blue tube, if you would be so kind.

'Come on.

'That could so easily have been.

'Emma, the white.

'They're so close.

'Next, Rebecca and the black tube.

'Pop it in there.

'Moira, come on, we're running out of time.

'One more in the white, quickly.'

Well done.

I'm out of breath just watching that.

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

and reveal which team play for the Copycats Trophy.

The suspense is killing me. Give it up for Emma's Team, everyone.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Well done.

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

You have to pick a well-known tune

and recreate that tune using the now-world-famous Copycats kazoo.

It's got its own dressing room, it's that famous.

Could everybody except Ellie put your headphones on

so you don't hear which song's being selected.

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

You've got three tunes. Purple, orange or green.

-Which would you like?

-Purple.

-Purple, take a look.

-Do you know that?

-No.

Good look with that.

Don't worry, we'll play it so you can get the melody in your head.

Let's hear it.

HARRY POTTER THEME PLAYS

The best of luck.

You've got ten seconds. Ready, steady, play.

Play.

OK, Beth.

SHE GIGGLES

Stop playing.

CHEERING

Abi, for 50 points.

Any idea of the answer we're looking for?

Mary Had A Little Lamb?

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

Eye Of The Tiger.

It's not Eye Of The Tiger, so we're playing for 30 points. Natalie?

Only Girl In The World.

It's not Only Girl In The World by Rhianna,

which means we're playing for 20 points. Beth?

-America's national anthem?

-America's national anthem.

It's not, which means we're playing for the minimum of 10 points. Julie?

Justin Bieber, Never Say Never.

It's not Justin Bieber, Never Say Never.

-Do you want to tell everybody?

-Harry Potter's theme tune.

Let's hear it.

HARRY POTTER THEME PLAYS

Pretty difficult, that one.

That means at the end of the music round,

Beth's Team get no points but give them a round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-OK, Rebecca, two cards left, which one would you like?

-Green.

You're going for green, OK.

Do you know that one?

-Kind of.

-Kind of.

OK, let's have a listen.

OLLY MURS: # So am I in this alone?

# What I'm looking for is a sign

# That you feel how I feel for you

# Baby, please don't let me go. #

OK, Rebecca. Got that in your head?

Ready, steady, play. Open the door.

OK, Emma.

OK, Sarah.

Go on, Yvonne.

Wow, what a note at the end, that was amazing.

Michelle, what was Yvonne playing there?

We Will Rock You by Queen?

Cracking song but unfortunately, that is the wrong answer.

Let's open the doors for 40 points.

-She's Like The Wind?

-Patrick Swayze.

-I'll sing that later.

-I've heard you're good.

It's wrong, I'm afraid.

Let's open the door.

-For 30 points.

-Waterloo?

-It's not, I'm afraid.

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

Is is Party Rock Anthem?

It is not Party Rock Anthem.

OK, let's open the door.

-Is it the Macarena?

-It is not the Macarena.

Rebecca, put them out of their misery.

Please Don't Let Me Go.

Let's have a listen.

# Am I in this alone

# What I'm looking for is a sign

# That you feel how I feel for you. #

Ollie Murs. Of course.

It was very, very, very difficult and you did try your best.

Unfortunately, Emma's Team, you get no points

but I want you to give them a round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'Right, so, after three rounds,

'Beth's Team have no points and Emma's Team also have no points.'

OK. Both teams played well

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

Which team triumphed over the tubes?

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

-The wait is over.

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

I can also reveal that the other team also got 30 points.

Which means we have a tie.

OK, what will now happen, is Sam will mime something.

Team captains will have ten seconds to write down their answer.

The team closest to the answer on the card,

will go on to play for the Copycats Trophy.

-Sam, have a look at this card. Got it?

-Oh, yeah. OK.

-Whenever?

-Whenever.

-Here we go.

-Almost done.

-Both got an answer?

-Beth?

Would you like to reveal your answer?

Putting his pants on. And Emma?

You've gone for?

Putting on trousers. It's putting on trousers.

Emma's team wins.

Unfortunately, that means that Beth's Team,

we're going to have to say goodbye to you.

That was very close.

-Have you had a good time?

-Yes.

You've been a fantastic team. Give it up for Beth's Team, everyone.

CHEERING

You've made it this far, but it's now time to compete

for the fabulous money-can't-buy, limited edition,

lovely, shiny, springy thing, that is this, the Copycats Trophy.

AUDIENCE WHOOPS

-Don't touch it.

-Sorry. Here's the Ball Room.

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

Me, Sarah and Michele.

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

I won't touch it.

'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.

'25 green balls, that's what we're after, please.

'Sarah, Emma and Michele, you need those 25 green balls

'if you're to win the trophy.

'Balls are going in, which is good news.

'That's the first one, there's the second one. Excellent.

'A lot of concentration there on Sarah's face.

'It's a green one, put it in.

'Another one goes in from Emma.

'Trying to decide which colour to choose

'from the ones in her hands.

'Another one goes in. Look at the scoring with 25 seconds to go.

'Come on, girls.

'You can't pick the balls up off the floor.

'They have to be flying through the air and you have to pick them out.

'Inside, they're working hard at this.

'Look at that. Wow, lots in there.

'Is it enough? That's the big question.

'The answer coming up in five seconds' time.

'Here we go, quickly, quickly, put as many in as you can.

-'Time's running out.'

-HOOTER

CHEERING

Very good effort.

Unfortunately, we can't count that last ball.

It was just out of time.

But we have counted the remaining balls

and the result has been checked and verified.

You needed 25 green balls to win the trophy.

I can reveal that you collected...

26.

You've won this magnificent Copycats Trophy. Hold it aloft.

-Have you had a good day, guys?

-Yes!

What a stupid question!

Give it up for Emma's Team, everybody.

I love it when they win.

It's all over. Can you believe it?

Can't believe it's over? We'll see you next time.

-Thank you for watching.

-Bye.
