Episode 14 Copycats

Welcome to Copycats.

Today's copycats are Lena's team from South Shields

and Kate's team from Fife.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

And here are your hosts...

Sam and Mark.

-BOTH:

-Hello!

And welcome to Copycats,

the game show where copying is not only good, but it's how you win.

Here is how it works -

two teams have a go at loads of games,

where good copying wins big points.

The team with the most points goes through

to the final Copycats Challenge - The Ball Room.

Beat that and they get their hands on the holy grail of TV prizes -

the bingy-boingy Copycats trophy.

-ALL:

-Ooh!

-Oh, yeah.

Hey, it sounds so easy, but it is harder than you think.

-Trust me.

-It really is.

-So, let's get on with it and meet our teams.

-Let's do it.

CHEERING

Lena's team, you all right?

-ALL:

-Yay!

Lena, team captain. Would you like to introduce the team for us?

Yeah. This is my sister, Eva.

This is my mum, Louisa.

This is my Auntie Deborah, my Auntie Claire,

and my friend, Nancy.

Lovely. It's lovely to have you all here. Any nerves amongst the team?

-Yeah.

-Yeah? LAUGHTER

Deborah, straightaway, yeah. Don't be nervous.

I've got a good feeling about you guys. Deborah, don't worry.

You look terrified, love. LAUGHTER

You'll be fine, trust me.

Give it up for Lena's team.

CHEERING

Over here, we've got Kate's team. Kate, team captain. How you doing?

-Good.

-Would you like to introduce the rest of the gang, please?

So this is my friend, Jenna.

My Auntie Pamela,

my mum, Jane,

my Auntie Claire and my little cousin, Charlie.

-All right, Charlie? How are you doing, mate?

-Fine.

Fantastic. We're going to have a great time.

-But make sure you win, yeah?

-OK.

Give it up for Kate's team, everyone.

CHEERING

It looks like our teams are ready to go.

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 big points to be scored, when each team take on

the challenging challenge that is the Copycats Challenge.

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

The winner was Lena's team,

so that means you guys are going to be playing first.

Are you ready, Deborah? LAUGHTER

Let's play Copycats!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

All right. Lena's team, you will need to show off

your sketching skills and find your inner artist for this game.

It is time to play Quick On The Draw.

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

You are going to pick one of these cards.

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

to the player next to you, which is Claire.

And then so on and so on down the line.

OK, there's a maximum of 50 points to be won in this round.

But don't forget, you will lose 10 of those points

for every incorrect answer coming back down.

-Copycats, are you ready? ALL:

-Yes.

In that case, let's close the doors.

Ooh.

Aw! LAUGHTER

Are you a bit scared now?

It's only a door! It's only a door.

-Are you good at drawing, Lisa?

-Mm.

LAUGHTER

-Oh, no! Why has Lena put you in the first booth?

-I don't know.

Oh, dearie me.

OK. We've got three cards - blue, green or pink.

-Which one would you like?

-Pink, please.

-Take a look.

Oh!

LAUGHTER That's not a good noise.

-Do you reckon you can draw it?

-Yep.

Ready, steady, draw!

OK. Claire, your turn.

LAUGHTER

Your turn.

LAUGHTER

LAUGHTER

Deborah...

Lena...

Time is up. Stop drawing.

APPLAUSE

This is a difficult one, Nancy.

For 50 points, any idea of the answer that we are looking for?

Erm, is it a birthday cake?

That does look like a birthday cake.

But it's not, unfortunately,

which means we're playing for 40 points.

Team captain Lena, what do you reckon?

Is it a toaster?

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

Deborah, what do you reckon?

-A bed?

-LAUGHTER

It's not a bed.

We are playing for 20 points, then. Eva, any idea?

Is it...

a hot chocolate?

LAUGHTER

-Oh, yeah. With the steam coming out of the top?

-Yeah.

Not a bad guess, actually. But it's not, unfortunately,

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

Have a think, Claire. This is not too bad.

Volcano?

-Yes!

-Yay! LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Well done, guys. You are off to a good start.

You get yourselves 10 points!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Lovely Pamela, I've got green or blue. Which one would you like?

Green, please. OK, have a look at that.

-Do you reckon you can draw that?

-Mm-hm.

-Fantastic. The best of luck, Pamela.

-Thank you.

-Ready, steady, draw.

Off you go.

OK, Jane, your turn.

Kate, your turn.

OK.

THEY LAUGH

THEY TALK, LAUGHTER

OK. Stop drawing, stop drawing.

Oh! For eight of those seconds, Charlie was giggling.

LAUGHTER

All right, 50 points. What is the answer?

Sunglasses?

It's not sunglasses.

For 40 points...

Specs?

Yeah!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Yes!

LAUGHTER

Spectacles, glasses.

We have to be so specific, I am so sorry.

It wasn't sunglasses.

But you get yourself 40 points. Well done, nice one!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

So, after Quick On The Draw, are Kate's team fully focused?

Or will Lena's team be saying

there is volca-no way

-we are not getting to The Ball Room.

-LAUGHTER

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

Well, Sam, after Quick On The Draw,

-Lena's team has 10 points...

-CHEERING

-..and Kate's team has 40 points.

-CHEERING

One of our teams now has the chance

to add some big points to their score,

but it is not going to be easy. No, no, no.

It's time for the test of skill and nerve that we like to call

the Copycats Challenge.

Now, because Lena's team won the toss,

they will be first to face the challenge.

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

we're going to send you on your way for a bit.

-Go and have a cup of tea and a slice of cake.

-Charlie's off.

-See you later, Charlie.

-See you later, mate.

See you later, buddy. LAUGHTER

Right, Lena, as team captain,

you now have to select three people to take on this Copycats Challenge.

But before you do, let's see what is in store.

Mr D, what could it be?

Recall.

Patterns will illuminate on the floor grid before disappearing.

Players must copy each pattern by placing blocks on the squares

that were lit up.

30 points are awarded for every correctly copied pattern.

Good luck.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Are you ready to recall? Oh, let's find out.

Lena, you have chosen scared Deborah to play this game.

And Nancy. Are you feeling good?

-BOTH:

-Yeah!

-You all right, Deborah?

-I'm fine.

Oh! LAUGHTER

-You'll be great. Lots of support from this side, yeah?

-Yeah.

In three, two, one...

Go.

Scared Deborah will be fine.

Now these patterns appear and disappear quickly.

You don't have long to recall the pattern.

-THEY TALK

-So here we go.

At this point, you need help and advice from your fellow team members

to recall what just appeared.

And that one.

She seems to be doing all right, though.

On her own, to be honest, though advice is coming.

-Yes.

-Don't forget you've got to step off.

-Is that right?

-Yes, it is.

-Nice one! APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Next one. Go for it.

-Go, go, go.

-That's very impressive.

-ALL SHOUT

-So the new pattern...

Place the blocks on the grid,

Lena it is this time, precisely where the lights just appeared.

Clear the grid to see if you are right. That's how the game works.

ALL SHOUT

-55 seconds remaining.

-MR D LAUGHS

A lot of pointing going on. Is that right?

-Yes, it is as well! Excellent.

-Well done! Nice one.

Next one. ALL SHOUT

This is Nancy now

placing the blocks.

Paying close attention to the rest of the gang.

There.

Good advice coming.

And that one just behind.

Very precise instructions

as to where to place these blocks.

That one there.

Nancy is checking that she's got it right.

In a moment, we'll find out whether she has.

That's it. Clear the grid.

-And yes, she has!

-Well done. Well done.

-Three already.

-Yeah, come on, guys.

20 seconds to go.

-You've got 20 seconds left.

-This is Deborah again now.

Try and finish it. ALL SHOUT

Wow, that was quick. Is that going to work?

-Yes, it does!

-Yeah! Nice one!

Brilliant! Ten seconds left.

You're going to have to be quick, guys.

See if they can get one more in. Come on.

-ALL SHOUT

-Quickly as you can.

Just a few seconds remaining.

Oh, hurry up.

Oh!

KLAXON BLARES

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Time's up.

Oh, a round of applause!

We will add those points from the challenge to your total

after the third and final round.

Remember, Kate's team still have to play and the scores

from the Copycats Challenge can make all the difference in deciding

which team goes through to The Ball Room.

Let's hear it for Lena's team, everyone.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Welcome back to the game, Kate's team.

Let's play Mime Time.

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

You are going to pick one of these cards.

You are then going to have ten seconds to mime

whatever is on the cards to the player next to you, which is Jenna

and then so on and so on down the line.

Remember, the only thing we ask for in this round

is that you keep those performances silent.

As in every pass-it-on game, there are 50 points up for grabs,

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

coming back down the line.

Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Yeah! Let's close the doors.

-You look a bit nervous.

-I know.

It's OK. It's OK.

We've got blue, green or pink. Which one would you like?

-Er, green, please.

-OK. Have a look at that.

Do you reckon you can do that?

-Mm-hm.

-HE LAUGHS

"Mm-hm"!

Well, the best of luck, Claire.

Ready, steady, mime.

Off you go.

LAUGHTER

OK, Jenna, your turn.

LAUGHTER

OK, Jane, your turn.

LAUGHTER

-OK.

-Woo!

Watch your hand.

LAUGHTER

Go on, Charlie.

CHARLIE LAUGHS

LAUGHTER

He's good.

OK, Kate, your turn.

LAUGHTER

-OK. Stop miming.

-APPLAUSE

Well done, gang. That was good, that was really good.

OK, Pamela, for a maximum of 50 points, what is the answer?

Skateboarding?

Yeah!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Eh, Claire? No need to feel nervous.

-No need to feel nervous.

-LAUGHTER

That was brilliant. Well done.

You get the maximum 50 points!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Team captain Lena, the best of luck with this.

We've got two cards left, pink or blue. Which one would you like?

Could I have the turquoise, please?

Turquoise. Ooh!

Very la-di-da! LAUGHTER

You can have the turquoise one.

-You like that?

-Yeah.

Excellent. OK, the best of luck. You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, mime.

All right. Eva, your turn.

Nancy, your turn.

Lisa, your turn.

Deborah, your turn.

Time is up.

APPLAUSE Stop miming.

For a maximum of 50 points, Claire,

what do I have on the turquoise card?

Putting lip balm on?

It's not putting lip balm on,

which means we're playing for 40 points. Deborah?

Applying lipstick?

Yay!

APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

Nice work, guys. Nice work.

I can see where you were going with lip balm.

-BOTH:

-It did look like that.

But, thankfully, Deborah, you got yourselves 40 points there!

Woo! APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

So, after Mime Time,

are Kate's team skating straight to The Ball Room?

Or did Lena's team MAKE UP enough points there?

-Lipstick, make up, excellent.

-Do you get it?

Mr D, what are the scores?

Well, Sam, after Mime Time,

-Lena's team have 50 points.

-APPLAUSE

And Kate's team have 90 points.

APPLAUSE

All right. It is time to turn up the heat a bit now

and ask Kate's team to take on the Copycats Challenge.

Lena's team, are you ready for a bit of a rest?

-ALL:

-Yeah.

-LAUGHTER

-Go on. Off you go. We will see you later, guys.

-Bye!

-Chill out, will ya? Life's too short.

-Yeah!

Kate, as team captain, you now need to select three star performers

to face the Copycats Challenge.

But before you do, Mr D, what is the challenge, mate?

Recall.

As before, patterns are illuminated on the floor grid

before disappearing.

Players must copy each pattern

by placing blocks on the squares that were lit up.

30 points are awarded for every correctly copied pattern.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

OK, team captain Kate,

you have picked Pamela, Claire and Jenna to play.

Are you all ready?

-ALL:

-Yeah.

-You certainly look ready.

-I love the stance. Fantastic.

-LAUGHTER

All right, best of luck. In three, two, one.

Go. Come on!

Brilliant. There was the first pattern.

-Go, go.

-Clear to start.

And she's started well. She means business. Look at this.

ALL TALK

-That's it.

-Very fast...

-That one, yes.

-Very well done.

..which can only be good news.

THEY TALK

A bit of help coming in from the side as well.

-OK.

-Stand clear. Let's see if that is right.

-It is.

-APPLAUSE

Very confident there.

Next...

-Go, go, go.

-Don't just stand there. It's Pamela next.

And a big line...

The other two know where these blocks are to go by the look of it.

-That's it. That's it.

-They are directing her.

Up to the top, up to the top one. No!

Come on, quickly as you can.

That's better. Corrected that one.

Now, where does that other one go? Where does the other one go?

ALL TALK

There's a bit of confusion here.

Let's see if that works. Is that right?

-LAUGHTER

-Yes, it is!

-Well done.

-Excellent!

CHEERING

Go on, Jenna.

The next pattern is for Jenna.

35 seconds to go.

One up, one up. There. Another one.

And there's one over there, I am sure.

-"One over there, I'm sure". Yeah.

-HE LAUGHS

I hope you're sure. That's Charlie giving advice.

-Back, back, back.

-Here?

Forwards, backwards. To me, to you.

Come on. 20 seconds remaining.

That one I'm sure was there.

There's Charlie, look, giving the advice.

-Really doing well.

-Clear.

Excellent.

Well recalled.

-OK, quick, quick, quick!

-A few more seconds left. Come on.

Have a go, try it. You never know, you might get it right.

Come on, quick! Five seconds!

-MR D LAUGHS

-All right, all right!

ALL SHOUT

And time's up.

KLAXON BLARES

-ALL:

-Oh!

-Oh!

-Here?

-Stop, stop.

-We are all right. We are all right.

-LAUGHTER

Give them a round of applause.

CHEERING

Claire, that was amazing. You were like a ninja.

Yeah, come on!

Well done. That was really good teamwork. Well done.

We will add those challenge points to your total

after our final round and find out which of our teams

have earned their place in the Copycats Ball Room.

Let's hear it for Kate's team. Well done.

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-Lovely. Brilliant.

Welcome back, Lena's team. Did you have a nice rest?

-ALL:

-Yeah.

-Lovely.

Well, it's time to get serious again, cos this is Read My Lips.

All you have to do is pick a top tune

and sing it to each other down the line, OK?

It sounds pretty simple.

Here's the kicker -

you'll be wearing headphones.

HE LAUGHS MENACINGLY

No, serious, though. Let's get serious.

LAUGHTER

Now, Eva, you're going to get to hear the song.

Everybody else, you can't, so could you please put your headphones on,

so you don't hear the song which has been selected?

There's 50 points up for grabs, as always.

But they will lose 10 points for every incorrect answer

coming back down the line.

Our copycats are ready.

Let's close the doors.

OK.

Eva, I've got three cards - blue, green or pink.

-Blue, please.

-Blue. Take a look.

-Do you know that song?

-No.

-Don't worry. We are going to play it...

-Oh, yeah, I do.

-Yeah? Good.

It is quite a popular song. LAUGHTER

Let's hear it right now.

Deborah, for a maximum of 50 points,

what is the name of the song we are looking for?

I'm Losing My Mind?

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

-Claire?

-I'm Losing My Head?

LAUGHTER

It's not. We're playing for 30 points.

Nancy, any idea?

Honey On My Mind?

It's not called Honey On My Mind.

-Good.

-ALL:

-ALL:

-Ooh!

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...

-..Kate's team!

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Which means, sadly, we have to say goodbye to Lena's team.

You've been awesome.

-Have you enjoyed yourselves? ALL:

-Yeah!

-Deborah, are you feeling much better now?

-No.

No! She's still scared

-and she's sad now as well.

-Oh, no!

-Oh, man!

-Sorry!

You've been a fantastic team. Give it up for Lena's team, everybody!

-APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Bye, guys.

-Bye!

-See you later.

-Oh!

-Well done, Kate's team. Great copying so far.

But are you up for one more final challenge?

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Brilliant!

-In that case, it's time to play The Ball Room.

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

Kate's team, you are just one step away

from holding the shiny, springy beauty

of the Copycats trophy.

You could have it in your hands. It could be yours.

Are you excited about the thought of winning this?

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Oh, yeah!

Now, Kate, as team captain, who have you chosen to play?

Me, Charlie and my mum.

OK. Well, best of luck.

Before we open the doors and let you in,

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

LAUGHTER

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.

OK, team. Best of luck. Are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

In three, two, one...

Blast the balls!

So, it's Jane, Kate's mum,

cousin Charlie and Kate herself, the team captain,

in The Ball Room.

Having a lot of fun by the look of it. Balls flying everywhere.

Don't forget, it's the blue ones that we need.

20 of them need to be in that scoring cylinder

when the klaxon goes.

MR D LAUGHS

"Yeah!", says Charlie. That's good.

And "Yes", again, he says.

And in they go. Brilliant.

Keep going.

Charlie sort of gathers them in towards him, look.

And there's another blue one going in.

And another one there.

And another.

Will we have enough? We will find out shortly.

24 seconds left.

Ooh. Now, look, there's an orange ball.

We'll deduct that from the total.

Only the blue ones, guys. Come on.

That's the sort of thing. Excellent.

Ooh, quite a few going in now.

They've got the hang of it! They got the hang of it!

8 seconds left.

Let's have a few more, if you can.

Another one going in, brilliant.

Come on, come on, come on!

-And the time's up.

-KLAXON BLARES

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

-I have a feeling this is going to be pretty close.

-Yes.

OK, the balls have been counted.

The result has been checked and verified.

You needed 20 blue balls to win the trophy.

Don't forget, any other colours that have been found

have been deducted from your score.

I can reveal that you collected...

-..23 blue balls!

-Yeah!

CHEERING

Yes!

Hold it aloft, like the beacon of loveliness that it is!

CHEERING

-Can I touch it?

-You can touch it, you've won it!

-You can touch it now.

-Don't break it! Don't break it!

-LAUGHTER

Oh! Are you happy?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

-Yeah! Beautiful!

-You're a great team. You really are.

-You have been a fantastic team.

Hey, guys? How would you like some Copycats T-shirts

-to add to your trophy, eh?

-Wow.

-THEY CHEER

Well, you can't, we've run out. Sorry.

-I'm only kidding! We've got loads for you!

-Oh!

-Oh!

-We can't get rid of 'em!

-Oh!

It's like the cherry on the biggest cake possible.

-You're welcome.

-LAUGHTER

A great end to the show. A great end to the show.

We will see you next time on Copycats.

-BOTH:

-Bye!

APPLAUSE AND CHEERING Well done.
