Episode 10 Copycats

'Welcome to Copycats.

'Today's Copycats are Leon's team from South East London

'and Poppi's team from South Ayrshire.'

'And here are your hosts, Sam and Mark.'

-BOTH:

-Hello!

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

The recipe for a game of Copycats is simple.

Take two teams and mix in

lots of games where you have to show off your copying skills...

Sprinkle a generous amount of points

over both teams when they copy well...

Measure those points very carefully so the team that scores

highest makes it through to the ultimate challenge...

And bake for around 25 minutes in a TV studio just like this.

And hopefully, the team in the final will win the tasty treat

that is the Copycats trophy.

Here's one we made earlier, let me hear you say ooh.

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooooh!

Ooh indeed. So let's get cooking and meet today's teams.

-Right, over here we've got Leon. How are you doing?

-I'm fine.

-Excellent.

-So you're team captain?

-Yes.

Would you like to introduce the team for us, please?

OK, so this is my younger brother, Levi. This is my cousin Danai.

This is my dad, also known as Leon.

This is my Uncle Brian and this is my mum, Dawn.

Excellent, it is lovely to have you all here. Are you all excited, team?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

Yeah, I like that, Leon, yeah!

Lovely. Well, the best of luck for today.

Give it up for Leon's team!

And over here we've got Poppi's team.

-Poppi, team captain, how are you?

-I'm fine.

-You're not nervous at all, are you?

-I am a wee bit.

-Don't be.

Shake it off, come on, guys, shake it off. Shake off them nerves.

-Just doing it on my own, brilliant.

-THEY LAUGH

Poppi, team captain, would you like to introduce the rest of your team?

So, this is one of my best friends, Rachel.

This is my other one of my best friends, Eilidh.

This is Eilidh's dad, Colin.

This is my mum, Carol, and this is one of my dance teachers, Jenny.

Fantastic. Lovely to have you here. Best of luck.

Poppi's team, everyone. Fantastic.

-Shake it off.

-Shake it off. Just doing it on my own.

It looks like our teams are ready to spring into action.

They will take it in turns to display their artistic, dramatic

and musical talents as they try to pass the answer down the line.

And there are even more points to be won

when they face the Copycats Challenge.

To decide who went first today, we tossed a coin before the show.

The winner of that tossing of the coin was Leon's team,

so you guys are going to be playing first.

Let's play Copycats.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, Leon's team,

you will need to show off your sketching skills here

to find your inner artist, because this is Quick On The Draw.

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

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

to the player next to you and then he'll

copy it down the line, down the line, down the line...

There are 50 points up for grabs in this round, but you will lose

10 of those points for every wrong answer going back down the line.

-Do we understand the rules? ALL:

-Yes.

-Beautiful.

-The best of luck, Copycats. Are you ready? ALL:

-Yeah!

-Yeah.

Let's close the doors.

Right, Dawn, three cards. We've got pink, green or blue.

-I'll go with green.

-Green, take a look.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-Yeah.

-You

can do it. I've got faith in you.

You've got ten seconds. Here we go. Ready, steady, draw.

Time's up.

Copy what you saw. Copy what you saw.

Hey, Leon.

Hmm.

Your turn.

THEY LAUGH

Time is up. Stop drawing.

Oh, this is difficult.

Team captain Leon, for a maximum of 50 points,

what do you think the answer is?

Some sort of maths sum?

Some sort of maths sum? It's not, unfortunately,

which means we are playing for 40 points.

I see where you're going there. Any idea?

A ship?

It's not, which means we're playing for 30 points.

A window?

It's not, unfortunately, which means we're playing for 20 points.

-Glasses?

-It's not.

Which means we're playing for the minimum of 10 points.

Levi, what do you reckon?

-A laptop?

-A laptop?

It's not, unfortunately.

Dawn, do you want to tell everybody?

-It was a train.

-A train, yes.

Oh, man, really tough, that, actually.

That's a tough start to the show.

So unfortunately, you don't get any points.

But there's still plenty of time. Give them a round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, good luck, Eilidh. We've got blue or pink.

Ooh, she went right in for the blue.

Oh, OK.

HE LAUGHS

-The best of luck.

-Thank you.

-Ready, steady, draw.

Off you go.

OK, Colin.

Go on, Rachel.

Your turn, Poppi.

Jenny, your turn.

I'm with you.

-OK, stop drawing.

-THEY LAUGH

Tremendous copying down the line.

OK, the best of luck, Carol.

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

A pumpkin.

THEY LAUGH

Well, unfortunately, it's not what we're looking for.

Let's open the door. Jenny, any idea what Poppi was drawing there?

Jellyfish? No?

It looks like a jellyfish, but it's not what I've got on the card.

Let's open the door. Poppi?

Is it like an animal with millions of legs or something,

like a table or something?

It's neither of those things that you said.

-LAUGHS:

-Let's open the door.

-For 20 points, Rachel?

-Is it a trampoline?

-SHOUTS:

-Yes!

Rachel, how did you get that? That's amazing!

Hey, congratulations, Poppi's team,

you get 20 points. Yes!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, after Quick On The Draw, are Poppi's team jumping for joy or can

Leon's team still catch the express train all the way to the Ball Room?

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

'Well, Sam.

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

'and Poppi's team have 20 points.'

OK, teams, it's time for one of you to face your date with destiny

cos this round is a real test of your talents.

Yes, it's the very cool,

very tough and very nail-biting Copycats Challenge.

And because Leon's team won the toss,

they will be going first to face the challenge.

So, Poppi's team, to keep it fair,

we're going to send you off so you don't see what the challenge is.

-See you later. Go on, bye!

-Bye!

Right, Leon, as team captain, you now have to select four people

to take on the spectacular Copycats Challenge.

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

So, Mr D, what could it be?

'The Equaliser.

'Players must move blocks between towers to copy the pattern

'shown on screen. But they can only pass one block at a time.

'30 points are scored for each correctly copied pattern.'

In three, two, one, go!

'So, the pattern we can see on the

'back wall is reproduced on the floor as well.

'Four team members taking part

'can see that too.

'When they think they've finished,

'they all put their hands up.

'And we see if they've got it right.'

And again, and again, and again, and again!

All right, hand up, hand up!

'All those instructions. Have they

'got it right? Yes, they have.

'Good start.'

To you, to you.

'To me, to you. Anybody remember the

'Chuckle Brothers?

'It's Leon Sr who is calling

'the shots on this game.'

To you!

-LAUGHS:

-'Excellent. There they are

'now. They're almost there, look.

'Almost there. They need

'some at the far end, though.

'Come on, keep handing them over.

-'That's the way it works.'

-One more.

'One more, he's assessed.

'Is he right? Let's find out.

'He is! Excellent!

'That's two patterns remembered

'correctly, or sorted out at least.'

'Very good.'

That's it, guys, you want to

speed up a little bit.

'You have to talk to each other.

'They're allowed to handle

'just one at a time. That's it.'

One more, one more, one more.

'Come on.

'Taking their time over this one.'

'Ooh. Now, is that right?

'Yes, it is! Ten seconds left, go on,

'have a go! You can, you can!'

One more, keep going, keep going.

-And the other one.

-'Thank you, Brian.

-'And that's it!'

-Time's up!

Round of applause. Well done, guys

I love how calm and collected you were during that.

That was really cool, I really liked that.

We will add those challenge points to your total after the third

and final round. Remember, Poppi's team still need to play

and the scores from the Copycats Challenge can make all

the difference in deciding which team goes to the Ball Room.

Let's hear it for Leon's team. Nice.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back to the game, Poppi's team. Let's play Mime Time.

Poppi, I've got three cards in my hand.

You're going to pick one of these cards.

You are then going to have ten seconds to mime whatever

is on that card for the player next to you

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

Remember, please keep the performances silent in this round.

OK, as in every Passing On game, there are 50 points to play for,

but you will lose 10 points for every incorrect answer.

-Understand?

-ALL:

-Yeah.

-Brilliant.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes!

Let's close the doors.

Team captain, Poppi, you've got blue, pink or green.

-Which one would you like?

-Pink.

-OK, have a look at that.

-OK.

-OK? All right, well,

best of luck, Poppi.

Ready, steady, mime!

Eilidh, your turn.

OK, Jenny, your turn.

THEY LAUGH

OK.

OK, Colin.

THEY LAUGH

OK, stop miming.

Oh, amazing.

OK, for a maximum of 50 points, to be honest,

if you get this right, I would give you a thousand.

-Rachel, for 50 points, what's the answer?

-A robot?

It certainly did look like a robot,

but it's not the answer that we're looking for.

OK, for 40 points, Colin?

A dancing switchboard operator.

THEY LAUGH

I'd love to say you're absolutely right

but unfortunately, it isn't a dancing switchboard operator.

OK. 30 points, Carol.

One of those machines in the fairground.

It's the wrong answer.

Let's move on. For 20 points.

Doing switching on the light board.

It's wrong, I'm afraid.

Let's open the door. It's a tough one, this.

For 10 points, Eilidh, any idea what Poppi was doing?

At an ATM.

Unfortunately, that is wrong. Poppi, what were you doing?

I was getting in a lift.

-Getting in a lift.

-Ahh!

And frantically pressing the buttons, which one am I on?

Unfortunately, you don't get any points

but give them a round of applause anyway.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, Leon, we've got two cards left. Green or blue?

-Which one would you like?

-Green.

-Take a look.

-OK.

-Yeah, you reckon

-you can mime that?

-Yeah.

All right, the best of luck. You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, mime.

Levi, your turn.

Danai, your turn.

Brian, your turn.

Dawn, your turn.

Time is up. All right.

Very good, very good copying down the line.

Leon, for a maximum of 50 points, come on, you can do this,

what's the answer we're looking for?

Tap dancer.

SHOUTS: Yeah!

Guys, yay! Leon, fantastic dancing.

In fact, you were all fantastic dancers down the line there.

Brilliant. You needed that, guys, that was awesome.

You get yourselves the full 50 points.

Back in the game.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, after Mime Time, do Poppi's team need a lift?

Or are Leon's team tapping into that winning feeling?

Time to check out the scores. Mr D, what could they be?

'Well, Sam, after Mime Time, Leon's team have 50 points

'and Poppi's team have 20 points.'

Right, it is time for Poppi's team to get to grips

with the Copycats Challenge.

So, Poppi's team, this could be your chance

to get hold of some serious points.

Leon's team, you guys can have a rest, you've done this.

See you later. Go backstage. Read a magazine. Whatever you want.

See you.

OK, Poppi, as team captain, you now need to select four star

performers to face the Copycats Challenge.

But before that, let's check out what you're going to be facing.

Mr D, what could it be?

'The Equaliser.

'As before, players must move blocks

'one at a time between the towers to copy the pattern shown on screen.

'30 points are scored for each

'correctly copied pattern. Good luck.'

OK, three, two, one, go!

'So it's Carol, Eilidh,

'Jenny and Rachel playing this game.'

Pass to Jenny.

'Colin offering advice there, as

'indeed is Poppi.

'Pointing, look, she's pointing.

'Are they following her advice?

'They seem very large, the towers

'to be completed, by the look of it.

'Quickly as you can. That's it.

'And stand clear when you finish.

'Let's see if you're right.

'You are! Excellent. Good start.'

'Working now on the next tower.'

'Now this time they really

'do need to talk to each other.

'They each have a number of blocks to

'have in place in front of them.

'Poppi is doing the totting up.'

One, two, three, four, five. Two more, one more.

'Counting to make sure they've got

'the right number in front of them.

'Oh, they're hesitating. Come on.

'Oh, let's see if it's right.

-'No, it's not.'

-The next one. OK, come on.

'Let's try another one. Let's try

'another tower, come on.

'Start all over again. 30 seconds to

'go. Quickly as you can.

'Let's see if we can get two towers.

-'Come on, come on, come on!'

-You've

-not got along.

-'Move, move, move!'

Give that one to Eilidh,

the one you're holding.

'How are they going to do? 15 seconds left.

'Let's see if that's right.

'Yes, it is! That's good.

'So, two towers under their belts.

'One more to go. It's worth having

'a go. So three seconds left.

'Just for the fun of it, come on!

'Let's see how you get on.

-'And time is up!'

-OK, stop!

Come on out there.

It's tough, isn't it? It's really tough.

OK, we'll add those challenge points to your total after the final round

and find out which of our teams have

earned their place in the Copycats Ball Room.

Let's hear it one more time for Poppi's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Leon's team. This is Read My Lips.

All you have to do is sing a top tune

down the line for each other to copy.

Sounds pretty simple, doesn't it? Well, it's not.

Because you will be wearing headphones.

Now, although you'll be singing the song out loud to your

team partner, the only way they know what the song is,

is by reading your lips. OK? It's really, really difficult, this.

There are 50 points up for grabs, but don't forget you will lose

10 of those points for every wrong answer coming back down the line.

Now, Leon, because you're in the first booth, we are

going to let you hear the song because we're not that cruel.

So you'll get to hear it, but everybody else, you can't.

So could you please put your headphones on?

All right, our Copycats look ready. Let's close the doors.

Right, Leon, we've got three cards - blue, green or pink.

-Green.

-Green? Take a look.

-Oh!

-Do you know that song?

-Yeah.

Excellent, good, well, we're

going to play it in as well.

So take a listen.

# Hey, I just met you

# And this is crazy

# But here's my number

# So call me, maybe!

# And all the... #

Lovely. Best of luck, Leon.

You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, sing.

# Hey, I just met you

# And this is crazy

# But here's my number

# And call me maybe

# And all the other boys... #

Nice!

# Hey, I want to get to you

# This is crazy

# I need your number

# So call me, baby

# Hey, I want to get to you

# This is crazy... #

Nice, Leon.

# It's a crazy thing

# And I'm not sure what he's saying

# But it's a crazy thing

HE LAUGHS

# It's a crazy thing... #

HE LAUGHS

# It's a crazy thing

# It's a crazy thing

THEY LAUGH

# It's a crazy thing... #

THEY LAUGH

Dawn.

# It's a crazy feelin'

# It's a crazy feelin'

# It's a crazy feelin'

# It's a crazy feelin'... #

Time, no, stop! OK.

So, I love this round, for a maximum of 50 points,

what do you think Dawn was singing to you then?

Justin Bieber, Sorry?

It's not Justin Bieber, Sorry.

Which means we are playing for 40 points. Dawn, any idea?

It's A Crazy Feeling.

It's not, unfortunately, which means we're playing for 30 points. Brian?

It's A Crazy Thing.

THEY LAUGH

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

Feeling Crazy?

It's not. I like what you're all doing.

You're taking what you were singing and you're trying to come up

with a song but it's not the right answer.

Which means we're playing for the minimum of 10 points.

-We need the name of the song, Danai, do you know it?

-Is it Call Me, Baby?

-AUDIENCE:

-Aw.

You're so close, not baby. I'm almost giving you the answer.

-Crazy?

-No, it's not, unfortunately. Leon.

It was Call Me Maybe.

HE LAUGHS

Let's hear it. Let's hear it. Aw, guys, I'm so sorry.

I absolutely hate when that happens.

It's because you quite clearly knew what the song was

but we do have to be strict.

So, unfortunately, that means you don't get any points.

But give them a round of applause

because that was very, very entertaining.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Good luck, Colin. Pink or blue? Which one would you like?

-Blue, I think.

-OK, have a look at that.

-Do you know that?

-Yeah.

Well, we are going to play it into the studio for you. Have a listen.

# Louder than a lion

# Cos I am a champion

# And you're gonna hear me roar

# Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh... #

OK, the best of luck, Colin. Ready, steady, sing!

# You're going to hear me roar

# You're going to hear me roar

# You're going to hear me roar... #

# You're going to hear me roar

# You're going to hear me roar

# You're going to hear me roar... #

OK, Poppy.

# You're going to hear me roar

# You're going to hear me roar

# You're going to hear me roar

# You're going to hear me roar... #

Eilidh.

# You're going to hear me roar

# You're going to hear me roar

# You're going to hear me roar

# You're going to hear me roar... #

OK, Rachel.

# You're going to hear me roar

# You're going to hear me roar

-# You're going to hear me roar

-HE LAUGHS

# You're going to hear me roar

# You're going to... #

OK, wow.

Yeah, I think we do deserve a round of applause for that

because that was very good copying down the line. OK, Jenny?

For 50 points, what's the answer?

Hear Me Roar?

It is not the name of the song, unfortunately.

I've got to be very strict. OK, let's open the door.

-For 40 points, Rachel?

-Roar.

-SHOUTS:

-Yay!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# You're going to hear me roar... #

Fantastic. Eh, congratulations.

You get yourself 40 points, well done.

Nice work, Poppi's team.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'After three rounds, Leon's team have 50 points

'and Poppi's team have 60 points.'

So now it's time to reveal the scores from the Copycats Challenge.

Which team excelled at The Equaliser?

And which team are doing the conga to the Ball Room?

-In today's challenge, one team scored 60 points.

-Good.

-Respectable.

One team scored 90 points.

AUDIENCE OOHS

More respectable. Yeah, better.

We've added those scores to each team's total.

The team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Leon's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Well done, guys.

-And that means we

have to say goodbye to Poppi's team.

Have you had a good time?

-ALL:

-Yeah.

-You've been absolutely wonderful.

Give it up for Poppi's team, everyone.

Well done, guys. See you later.

-See you later, guys.

-Bye.

-Thanks ever so much.

Yay! Leon's team! Congratulations.

You have made it through to the final game.

-Are you ready for it? ALL:

-Yeah.

-Awesome.

-Fantastic.

It's time to play the Ball Room.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well, your copying skills have brought you within touching

distance of this trophy. It's just

the Ball Room that stands in your way.

Leon, do you want to have a little touch? Get off! You can't yet.

OK, before we open the doors and let you in,

let's take a look at how you win this thing.

HE LAUGHS

'The Ball Room.

'Players must collect 20 blue balls and deposit them

'in the scoring cylinder before the time runs out.

'Any other coloured balls collected will be deducted from the total.

'Good luck!'

-Are you ready, team?

-Good luck.

-Three, two, one...

-BOTH:

-Blast the balls!

'And it's Uncle Brian, brother Levi

'and team captain Leon about to

'disappear almost as the balls

'fly around in that Ball Room.

'Looking for at least 20 blue balls

'in the scoring cylinder.

'Let's see how they get on. Oh,

'look at that. Three in a row. Wow.

'And quite a few have been

'successfully caught already.

'You do need to crack on in this

'game. The time just flies by.'

'Only those that go into the

'cylinder that count.'

'Some of the balls are getting stuck,

'getting caught in Levi's hair.'

'Have a look above you, Levi.

'It could be the way to win.

'Come on, guys, just ten seconds left.

'The klaxon coming up soon.

'Quite a bit of scoring going on, though.

'Come on, come on!

'There goes the klaxon.

'Ah, that last one won't count.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

The balls have been counted.

The result has been checked and verified.

You needed 20 blue balls to win this trophy.

I can reveal that you collected...

-..25 blue balls!

-Yay!

CHEERING

There you go!

Hold it up with pride.

-Congratulations!

-You guys smashed it. Hey, it doesn't end there.

We are also going to give you some Copycats T-shirts.

-Best day ever!

-It really is. Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-Of course we have.

-Course we have. Fantastic.

Well, you've been a brilliant, brilliant team.

Give it up for Leon's team!

-I've enjoyed that.

-I have too.

-What a lovely end to the show.

-We'll see you next time on Copycats. BOTH:

-Bye!
