Episode 8 Copycats

'Welcome to Copycats with your hosts Sam and Mark.

'And today's Copycats are Nicholas's team from Angus

'and Rachel's team from Chester.'

APPLAUSE

-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.

The team with the most points at the end of the show will play

for the new and improved, but still bingy-boingy Copycats trophy!

-It's a good 'un. Shall we meet the teams?

-Yeah.

-Go on.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Over here, we've got Rachel's team. Up for it?

-Yeah!

Rachel, introduce the gang, please.

This is my sister Anna, my stepbrother Kal.

This is my stepdad David and these are our friends Ed and Jen.

-Fantastic. Are you going to win it for me today?

-Yeah!

-All right.

-Give it up for Rachel's team!

-CHEERING

-Good luck.

-Over here, we've got Nicholas's team.

-Are you all right?

-Yeah!

-Nicholas, introduce the gang for us.

This is my sister Erica and this is my best friend Alasdair.

This is my mum Lesley, dad Simon

-and that's my... Alasdair's mum Michelle.

-Excellent.

It's lovely to have you. Are you going to win this for me?

-Yeah!

-That's all I need to know. Give it up for Nicholas's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-May battle commence.

-Indeed. 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 takes turns

to face the Copycats Challenge.

We tossed a coin before the show. Rachel's team will play first.

-Let's play Copycats!

-APPLAUSE

Rachel's team, I hope you've been brushing up on your art skills.

It's time to play Quick On The Draw.

Jen, you pick one of these three cards.

You'll have ten seconds to draw whatever is on that card for Rachel,

then so on and so on down the line.

-How's your drawing, Jen?

-It's OK.

-OK? That's better than nothing!

There is a maximum of 50 points to be won,

but you will lose ten of those points for every incorrect answer.

Understand...? Yes.

-Are you ready, more importantly?

-ALL: Yeah!

-All right. Let's close the doors.

-APPLAUSE

Jen, which card would you like?

-The purple one.

-Have a look at that.

-OK.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

-Confident, I like that.

Best of luck, Jen. Ready, steady, draw.

Rachel, your turn.

Anna, your turn.

OK, Kal.

OK, David, your turn.

-Stop drawing!

-APPLAUSE

I do love a bit of abstract art here on Copycats.

For a maximum of 50 points, any idea what David has drawn there?

I'm hoping it's a loaf of bread.

-It's right! Wow!

-APPLAUSE

I won't lie to you. That is thinking outside the box. That is brilliant!

Well done. You get yourselves a maximum 50 points. Well done!

APPLAUSE

-Lesley, you look nervous.

-A little bit.

-How's your drawing skills?

-Depends what I've got to draw.

-That's true.

-I've got two cards. Which one would you like?

-The green.

The green one. Have a look.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Ooh...

Oh, I'll try!

You've got ten seconds. Best of luck. Ready, steady, draw!

Good drawing. Well done.

Yeah...

Time to spare. Michelle, your turn.

OK.

-Time's up. Stop drawing.

-APPLAUSE

OK... Tough one, this.

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

-A hairy man.

-LAUGHTER

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

Simon, what do you think?

-Is it a snowman?

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

We're playing for 30 points. Michelle, what do you reckon?

Is it a sack of potatoes?

Nice thinking. It's not a sack of potatoes.

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

Is it a glass of juice?

It's not a glass of juice.

We're playing for 10 points. It's difficult.

Lesley did a cracking job. Erica, any idea?

Is it a vase with flowers?

It's not. Lesley, tell everybody.

-It was a lantern.

-A lantern!

You don't get any points, but there's a long way to go.

-Give them a round of applause!

-APPLAUSE

After that game, are Rachel's team the best thing since sliced bread?

Nice! And are Nicholas's team still in with a flicker of a chance?

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

'After Quick On The Draw, Nicholas's team have no points

'and Rachel's team have 50 points.'

APPLAUSE

-Don't worry. There is still time.

-Plenty of time.

The next round will test skill, nerve and determination

because this is the Copycats Challenge.

My team will go first.

My team, so you don't see what's in store, we'll send you off.

You will come back. Go and read a book, chill out for a bit.

-Bye, Nicholas's team!

-APPLAUSE

-Only a small book.

-Only a small book. They'll be back soon.

-Yeah.

Rachel, you now need to select three people

to face the formidable Copycats Challenge,

but first, let's find out what's in store. Mr D, what could it be?

'The Rings. Players will be given three rings.

'They must throw all three at the coloured rod displayed on the screen

'Ten points are awarded for every successful throw.'

APPLAUSE

OK, guys, if you're ready, there you go, Kal,

in three, two, one, throw!

-Let's have a look.

-'Kal starts then.

'Kal is Rachel's stepbrother, aiming for the white rod. Come on.

'Yes, good! Ten points. Excellent.'

-Green.

-'Next, it's Ed.

'This is Rachel's friend.

'Aiming for the green.

'Not quite there. All to do with hand-eye co-ordination,

'judging the distance.

'Jen aimed at the red rod. Not quite there.

'Never mind. Next, Kal.

'Blue for you. Right at the back, quite a distance.

'Got to judge that... Hard luck.

'Not quite. Next, it's Ed.

'You're aiming for the yellow, Ed.

'Yes, well done. Another ten points.

-'Not quite.'

-The next one is red in the middle.

'Come on, Jen. You can do this. Got to get the height right.

'Kal next, aiming for the green. You're aiming for the green.

'Very nearly. Almost.

'Yes! Good, good, good. Ed, which colour are we going for?

'The white one... Yes, straight away. Well done.'

Really good, guys. The next one is yellow.

'Jen, you're aiming for the yellow. Come on.

'A bit lower than that. Oh, very close! Not quite.'

-The next one is blue.

-'13 seconds left. Come on, Kal.

'You need some points. Difficult one the blue, right at the back there.

'OK, Ed, come on. Seconds away.

'Can we get some points? Yes, brilliant!'

-APPLAUSE

-That was brilliant!

Come on in, come on in.

Over here! Well done, guys. That was fantastic.

We'll add those challenge points to your score after the music round.

Nicholas's team still need to face the Copycats Challenge.

These points could make all the difference.

A dream ticket to the ballroom is at stake.

Give it up for Rachel's team. Nice one!

APPLAUSE

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

I've got three cards. Pick one.

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

and so on down the line. We're looking for silent performances.

50 points are up for grabs, but don't forget,

you will lose ten of those points for every incorrect answer.

-You know the rules. Are you ready?

-ALL: Yeah!

-In that case, let's close the doors.

-APPLAUSE

Michelle, we've got three cards. Which one would you like?

-The orange, thanks.

-The orange. Take a look.

Reckon you can do that...? You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, mime!

Good one. Simon...

OK, Alasdair, go for it.

OK, Nicholas.

OK, Erica.

Time's up. Stop miming. Very good.

Very good miming down the line.

Lesley, for 50 points, what do you think the answer is?

Crafting? Hammering something?

Oh, you are so, so close!

We must be slightly more specific. This is for 40 points. Erica?

-Hammering your thumb?

-Yes!

APPLAUSE

We don't condone anybody hammering their thumb at home.

Michelle, that was great miming, and great copying.

You get 40 points. Well done.

APPLAUSE

-Kal, I've got two cards left. Which one would you like?

-This one.

-OK.

Have a look at that.

-OK.

-You got that?

-Yeah.

-Best of luck, Kal.

Ready, steady, mime.

Go on, David.

LAUGHTER

Go, Rachel.

Follow that, Jen.

Carry on. It's good fun!

OK, Anna, your turn.

Stop miming!

I was shattered just watching that, actually. OK, for 50 points,

-Ed, what are we looking for?

-Riding a racing horse?

-Yes!

Ha ha, yes!

High five. That was brilliant. You ride a horse really fast!

It was like this.

Maximum 50 points. Give them a round of applause.

Brilliant.

So after Mime Time, Nicholas's team thumb-thing special?

GROANS

Or will Rachel's team be first past the post?

-Let's look at the scores. Mr D? Awful.

-I thought it was good.

Let's move on. After Mime Time...

OK, it's time to get serious again. Nicholas's team face the challenge.

It's your chance to add some crucial points.

-Are you ready?

-Yeah!

-Awesome!

Rachel's team, it's time to leave. Off you go. We'll see you later!

Nicholas, you need to select three people to face the challenge,

but let's see what's in store. Mr D, over to thee.

The Rings. As before, players will be given three rings.

They must throw all three at the coloured rod on the screen.

10 points are awarded for every successful throw.

OK, team, the best of luck. In three, two, one - throw!

Alasdair, Nicholas's best friend, to start. Aiming at the white one.

Let's see if he can get some points. He's gauging the distance.

A little bit wide there. Nicholas, team captain, aiming for the green.

Yes! Good!

-10 points.

-Next one is red.

Simon, you're aiming at the red rod, in the middle. ..Well done!

Good scoring. Alasdair, you're aiming at the blue.

This is the furthest away. It is tricky. Come on.

Just trying to gauge it there. Next, it's Nicholas,

aiming at the yellow. Throwing all three. All three could earn points

if they land successfully. Simon, aiming at the red.

Right in the middle. Come on.

Yes! Good! Brilliant.

OK, Alasdair. Green, please, for you.

Hand-eye co-ordination, this. Nicholas,

you are aiming at the white rod. Just bounced off there.

Come on. Next, Simon.

-It's the yellow one.

-Come on. Yes, well done.

And another! Whoo! Not quite the third, though.

Come on, 10 seconds left. Alasdair, get some points here, come on.

On the blue. It is tricky.

-Can we quickly do any more?

-Time's up!

-Time's up.

Not bad at all, guys.

Not bad at all.

This game may look easy, but it's the hardest we've got.

Only one more round to play before we add those points to your total

and reveal who plays for the Copycats trophy. Well done, guys.

Not bad at all.

Welcome back, Rachel's team. This is the music round. Ed,

just pick a well-known tune then recreate it to the next player

and so on down the line. Simple.

And you do that using our kazoo. Could everybody, except for Ed,

put your headphones on so you do not hear which song is being selected?

Our Copycats look ready. Let's close the doors.

-Ed, you look slightly apprehensive.

-Yes, I'm not so good!

-OK. Three cards here, mate. Which one?

-Orange.

-OK, have a look at that, mate.

-Right, OK. Got it.

We are going to play it for you, so listen.

# Number one, I don't understand how you're number one

# When it was just a fling before Now you're the one

# All I did was blink twice From my homie to my only... #

-Got that in your head?

-Yes...

Best of luck. Ready, steady, play.

-Open the door.

-HE PLAYS

OK, Jen.

Go on, Rachel.

OK. Anna, your turn.

OK, David.

OK, stop playing! It's good copying.

It's good copying, but it's tough. Kal, for 50 points, what is it?

-I've Got A Feeling?

-It is not I've Got A Feeling.

Let's open the door. David, for 40, what was Anna playing?

-Was it Lazy Song?

-It wasn't.

Let's open the door. For 30, Anna, any idea?

-Rihanna, Only Girl In The World?

-It isn't. For 20 points, Rachel?

-Is it Lady Gaga, Pokerface?

-It isn't.

You did a good job here, Ed. What do you think?

Er...Number One?

Wow! Yes! Well done!

Wow! No offence, but I didn't think you'd get that.

That's awesome!

Tinchy Stryder. And N-Dubz. Number One.

Well done. You get yourselves 10 points. Give them some applause.

Nice one.

-OK, Michelle, we've got two cards left. Which one?

-Green, please.

-Do you know that song?

-A bit.

We are going to play it, so have a listen.

-# Swagger Jagger Swagger Jagger... #

-Tough one.

# You should get some of your own

# Count the money Get your game on, get your... #

Oh, unlucky, guys. Tough round.

No points, but give them a round of applause.

So after three rounds, Nicholas's team have 40 points

and Rachel's team have 110 points!

All right. One team did particularly well in the pass it on rounds.

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

Which team racked up the rings and who's on the ball room guest list?

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

-in the challenge.

-Good.

-AUDIENCE "Oooh!"

-I can also reveal that one team got 50 points!

-Oooh!

-That's like the same.

-That's the same, so...

The team going to the ball room and playing for the trophy is...

Rachel's team!

-We have to say goodbye to Nicholas's team. Had a good time?

-Yeah!

Awesome. You've been cracking. A massive round of applause!

OK, Rachel's team. Now it's time to compete

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

-that is the Copycats trophy!

-AUDIENCE "Oooh!"

Here is the ball room. Rachel, who have you decided will play?

-Anna and Kal.

-And yourself?

-Yes.

-Excellent.

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

-Don't break it!

-Sorry.

The Ball Room - players must collect 25 green balls and deposit them

in the scoring cylinder.

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

Good luck, guys! In three, two, one! Blast the balls!

Left to right, it's Anna, Rachel's sister,

Kal, Rachel's step-brother, and Rachel.

Quickly as you can, guys. You need 25 green balls in that cylinder.

Any rogue balls will be deducted, remember.

That's what the rules say. Go on, Kal. That's it. Well done!

In it goes.

Wow. Five in there already. And another. Quickly as you can.

And another. They're doing well. But you've got to be fast.

That is a red one, isn't it?! Yes, it is.

That will be deducted. 25 seconds left. Work harder now!

Come on. Quickly as you can.

They're doing all right. Keep going, keep going!

Some good advice from outside. Inside, huge amounts of activity.

Come on. You can't pick them off the floor.

Time's running out!

HORN SOUNDS

-Great effort.

-Good effort, guys.

A red ball did go in, so we have to deduct that.

The rest of the balls have been counted and the result was verified.

-You needed 25 green balls.

-I can reveal that you collected...

23!

So unlucky! You go so, so close.

You don't win the trophy, but you will get Copycats t-shirts.

Well done, guys.

Give a round of applause to Rachel's team.

-I'll put this in the safe.

-Yeah. That's the end of the show.

-Don't worry. We'll see you next time.

-Bye!
