Episode 18 Copycats

'Welcome to Copycats.

'Today's Copycats are Jasmine's team from Wiltshire

'and Rachel's team from Perthshire.

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

-BOTH:

-Hello!

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

Two teams set sail on the high seas of copying

and take part in some daring adventures.

Their goal is to get their hands on lots of plunder,

or points as we call them.

But that is just half of the tale, me hearties.

It's all about finding the buried treasure

hidden beyond the fabled Ball Room.

I'm talking about the Copycats trophy.

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

I think you mean "Ooh-arr!" That's my best pirate impression.

-Good, that.

-Shall we meet the teams? It's terrible.

-Let's do it.

-Over here we've got Jasmine. You all right?

-Yeah.

-How are you?

-I'm fine, thank you.

-Excellent. So, you're team captain.

-Yeah.

-Would you like to introduce the gang?

-OK.

So, this is my friend Megan, this is my uncle, Balraj,

this is my cousin, Simone, my dad, Gerry,

and this is my sister, Safi.

Lovely. It's lovely to have you all here.

-Are you excited, team? ALL:

-Yeah!

-Are you going to win it for me? ALL:

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

I like the energy coming from this team.

OK, Jasmine, are you excited about being here today?

-Definitely.

-Seen the show before?

-Yeah.

-OK, so, you know what to expect.

Is there anything you're worried about?

-Nope.

-Nope? Right, yeah. I like it.

Anybody on the team worried at all?

-Hmm.

-HE LAUGHS

-What are you worried about?

-The drawing.

-Really?

Music. Everything.

-Oh, no! You'll be fine.

-I'll do it.

Yes, that's what we like. We love a trier here on Copycats.

Best of luck. I've got a good feeling about you guys.

Give it up for Jasmine's team, everyone!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Over here we've got Rachel's team!

-ALL CHEER

-Team captain Rachel, how are you?

-Good, thank you.

-Fantastic.

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

-OK.

This is my twin sister, Lucy. This is my mum, Kate.

This is my uncle, Gareth.

This is my dad, Tom, and this is my friend James.

Twins, eh?

So you're going to be good on the old cubicle round.

Like, telepathic. Be brilliant.

-Is there any weak links in your team?

-Well...

Look at James.

James shaking his head and behind him going, "All of us."

No, we're going to have a great time.

Enjoy it. It'll be brilliant.

-Give it up for Rachel's team.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-All of them.

-HE LAUGHS

It is time to kick off the festival of copying.

Just like every game of Copycats,

our teams will take it in turns to show off their artistic,

dramatic and musical copying talents

to try and win as many points as possible.

And don't forget the massive scores available

when our teams take on the Copycats Challenge.

Before the show we tossed a coin to see who would go first.

And the winner of that coin toss was Jasmine's team.

HE CHEERS

So, those guys look like they're ready and raring.

Let's play Copycats.

All right, Jasmine's team.

It is time for the first round of the day

and it's called Quick On The Draw.

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

You're going to pick one.

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

to the player next to you, Gerry,

and then Gerry will copy that to the person next to them

and so on and so on down the line.

There are 50 points to be won in this round,

but don't forget you will lose 10 points

for every incorrect answer coming back down the line.

-We understand the rules, don't we? ALL:

-Yeah!

-How we ready? ALL:

-Yeah!

Awesome! Let's close the doors.

All right.

Balraj, you've got three cards - green, blue or pink.

-I'll go for the top.

-Yeah, there you go.

Pink one. Take a look.

Reckon you can draw that?

-I think so.

-Nice.

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

Nice. OK, Gerry, your turn.

OK, Simone, your turn.

All right, Jasmine, your turn.

All right, Megan, your turn.

Time's up. Stop drawing. APPLAUSE

Good copying down the line.

For a maximum of 50 points, Safiya, what do you think the answer is?

Is it an octopus?

Yay! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It is indeed. Well done, guys.

-Nice work putting Balraj in the first booth there.

-Yay!

Fantastic drawing.

You get yourselves the full 50 points.

-Yay!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Lucy, we've got two cards left. We've got green or blue.

-Which one would you like?

-Blue.

-OK.

-OK. Got it.

-Cool.

Yeah.

Best of luck. Ready, steady, draw.

OK, Rachel, your turn.

Gareth, your turn.

Now, James, your turn.

OK, Tom.

Stop drawing.

OK.

For a maximum of 50 points, Kate,

any idea the answer we're looking for?

Snake?

It's definitely a snake what Tom's drawn,

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

-For 40 points, Tom, have a look at James's drawing.

-Loch Ness.

-You're going for Loch Ness?

-HE LAUGHS

It isn't Loch Ness. Let's open the door for 30 points.

James, have a look and think about it.

-Come on.

-It is a dinosaur?

It looks like a dinosaur,

but it's not the answer that we want.

-Gareth, that is a good drawing.

-Is it a giraffe?

-Yay!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done. I knew it was a giraffe.

-It's a giraffe.

-I knew it was a giraffe.

Where did the wiggly lines come from?

And the inquest continues.

But, hey, don't worry.

You've got off the mark. Well done. 20 points. Round of applause.

-Well done.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, after Quick On The Draw,

-will Jasmine's team be legging it to the Ball Room?

-Oh, yeah.

Or Rachel's team having a giraffe?

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

'Well, Mark, after Quick On The Draw,

'Jasmine's team have 50 points and Rachel's team have 20 points.'

OK, our teams have faced their first test of copying,

but now it's time to raise the stakes a little.

Bring on the Copycats Challenge.

Now, because Jasmine's team won the toss,

they are first to face the challenge.

Rachel's team, we're sending you out the studio

so you don't see what the challenge is.

-We'll see you later. Off you go.

-ALL:

-Bye!

-Bye!

-See you later, guys.

Now, Jasmine, as team captain,

you have to select just one person to face this Copycats Challenge.

Before you do that, let's see what's in store.

Mr D, what could it be?

'The Sequence.

'One player must copy an increasingly difficult series

'of flashing lights.

'Get it right and one more light is added to the sequence.

'15 points are awarded for every successful sequence completed.

'Good luck.'

And here it is - The Sequence.

So, Jasmine, you've chosen Balraj to take on this.

-Are you confident he can do this?

-Definitely.

-Yeah.

-Yeah, how are you feeling, Balraj?

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

-Best of luck.

-Come on!

-We like this.

The best of luck, Balraj. In three, two, one, go.

'So, representing Jasmine's team, this is Balraj, Jasmine's uncle.'

So, you've got to wait for... So, do it now, Balraj.

'Sam just warning Balraj to wait for the sequence to finish.

'Then he has to record it.

So, wait for all the lights to light first.

-'He was getting ahead of himself there.'

-OK, go for it.

'The sequence of lights starts nice and easy,

'but we keep adding one more light.

'Balraj has to remember the sequence each time.

'How's he going to get on this time? Let's have a look. Yes, good.

'That's the new sequence.

'Balraj has to try and recall it...

'and he does.

'He's got the hang of it now.

'And he's smiling a lot as well. This is good news.

'Four sequences recorded directly so far. That's five.

30 seconds left.

'The sequences getting longer.

-'Very good.'

-Go on, Dad.

'Now, has he recalled it correctly?

'Come on, you've only got ten seconds left.

'Quickly as you can.

'Excellent. Well done.

-'Not much time left.'

-KLAXON BLARES

Time's up.

Round of applause. Nice work. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Come around, Balraj.

We'll add those points to your total after the third and final round.

Remember, Rachel's team still have to play,

and the scores from the Copycats Challenge

can make all the difference

in deciding which team go to the Ball Room.

Let's hear it for Jasmine's team, but more importantly, Balraj!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back to the game. Rachel's team, let's play Mime Time.

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

You're going to pick one of these cards.

You're then going to have ten seconds to mime whatever is on that

card to the player next to you, which is Gareth,

and then so on and so on down the line.

Remember, keep those performances silent.

That's all I ask.

There are 50 points to be won in this round,

but you will lose 10 points

for every incorrect answer coming back down the line.

But we don't need to worry about that, do we?

-ALL:

-No!

-Of course we don't. Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

-Let's close the doors.

Right, Rachel, team captain, blue, green or pink -

-which one would you like?

-Green, please.

OK, have a look at that.

-Do you reckon you can do that?

-Yeah.

-Fantastic.

Best of luck. Ready, steady, mime. Off you go.

All right, Gareth, your turn.

OK, Tom, your turn.

OK, Kate, your turn.

OK, Lucy, your turn.

OK, stop miming.

James, you were nodding your head a lot there,

which suggests to me that you know the answer.

-For 50 points, what is it?

-Bowling?

-What type of bowling?

-Ten-pin?

Yay!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Get in there, buddy.

Well done. I've got to say, that was brilliant.

-You've done that before, haven't you?

-Yeah.

-Strike!

Which means you get the maximum 50 points. Well done.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Jasmine, I've got two cards left.

-OK.

-Pink or blue?

-Pink.

-Pink one. Take a look.

-OK.

-Reckon you can mime that?

-Yeah.

Awesome. Best of luck. You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, mime.

OK, Balraj, your turn.

OK.

All right, here we go.

All right, Gerry.

Time is up.

Stop miming.

Fantastic miming down the line. Come on, Megan.

I know you know this. For 50 points, what's the answer?

Painting your nails.

Yay!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Nice work.

And I've got to say, Balraj and Gerry,

you two were the best at that. You really were the best at that.

That was fantastic. Well done, guys.

You get the full 50 points. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, after Mime Time,

is that a strike for Rachel's team or have Jasmine's team nailed it?

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

'Well, Sam, after Mime Time,

'Jasmine's team have 100 points and Rachel's team have 70 points.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, it's time to turn the heat up again

cos it's time for Rachel's team

to take on the mighty Copycats Challenge.

So, Rachel's team, this is your chance

to add some big points to your score.

-Are you ready for it?

-ALL:

-Yeah.

-Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

-You look so ready. You look so ready.

Jasmine's team, you guys can take a break now, a well-deserved break.

We'll see you later.

-Yeah! Come on!

-Bye!

-Bye! THEY LAUGH

-"Yeah! We're having a break! Woo!"

-"Come on, yeah!"

So, Rachel, as team captain,

you now need to select your star performer

to face the Copycats Challenge,

but before that, let's check out what it is.

Mr D, what is it?

'The Sequence.

'As before, one player must copy an increasingly difficult series

'of flashing lights.

'15 points are scored for every correct sequence.

'Good luck.'

OK, team captain Rachel,

you've chosen Gareth to play this game.

-Are you ready, Gareth?

-Yep, ready.

-Fantastic. In three, two, one, go.

'Here we go, then. Gareth is Rachel's uncle.

'He's doing well so far, isn't it?

'The sequence gets longer the more you get right.

'Third one under his belt already.

'Rest of the team are totally quiet.

'There's not much they can do, really.

'It's all down to Gareth and his memory. Exactly.

'They're impressed.

'Here we go.

'And he's recalling the lights fairly quickly now.

'Actually very sensible. It's making good use of the time.

'And hopefully will mean that he'll be given more sequences to do.

'35 seconds left. Look at him go.

'Well done, Gareth. They're pleased.

'Got to concentrate now. Look at the concentration on his face.

'Go for it.

'Careful.

'Ooh. One wrong there.

'Ten seconds.

'He knows where he went wrong. Never mind.

'Go. Only a few seconds left.

-'Here we go.'

-KLAXON BLARES

Oh, it's just going to beat you, mate. Well done.

Come on over. Come on over.

Mate, you were like a machine in there. You did so well.

Well, 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 Rachel's team, and especially Gareth.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Well done.

Welcome back, Jasmine's team. Let's play the music round.

Megan, all you have to do is pick a well-known tune,

then recreate that tune to the person next to you

on the Copycats kazoo.

Awesome.

The tune will obviously then get copied all the way down the line,

and, hopefully, Jasmine at the end will know the answer.

Very rarely happens in the music round, but let's hope so.

There are 50 points to be won, but don't forget,

you will lose 10 points for every incorrect answer

back down the line.

Can everybody except Megan please put your headphones on

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

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

OK, Megan, pick a card - blue, pink or green.

The blue one. Take a look.

-Do you know that song?

-Yeah.

-Awesome.

Well, that's a great start.

We'll play it in the studio as well so you can get the melody.

Let's hear it.

# Last night I lay in bed so blue

# Cos I realised the truth

# They can't love me like you

# I tried to find somebody new

# Baby, they ain't got a clue

# Can't love me like you. #

All right, Megan. Here we go. Best of luck. Ten seconds.

Ready, steady, play.

SHE PLAYS TUNE

OK, Gerry, your turn.

HE PLAYS TUNE

LAUGHTER

All right, time's up.

Stop playing.

Jasmine, best of luck with this one.

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

Uh, Stitches?

It's not Stitches.

-We're playing for 40 points. Gerry?

-Bonfire Heart?

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

Safiya, any idea?

Is it Shake It Off?

It's not Shake It Off.

So, we're playing for 20 points.

-Simone, any ideas?

-Is it Work?

It's not Work.

So, the minimum of 10 points.

I've got to say, Megan did a fantastic job. Really good.

-Pretty much note perfect, actually.

-All right.

-Balraj, any idea?

Diamonds In The Sky.

Aw! It's not. Megan, do you want to tell everyone?

It was Love Me Like You by Little Mix.

Let's hear it.

-# Last night I lay in bed so blue

-It was great. Really good version.

# Cos I realised the truth... #

Difficult round. Always difficult, the music round.

Sadly, you don't get any points,

but give them a round of applause anyway.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, good luck, Kate.

I've got two colours here, green or pink.

-Which one would you like?

-I'll have green.

-OK.

Have a look at that. Do you know that one?

-No.

-OK, well, that's OK.

We'll play it into the studio so you can get the melody.

Have a listen.

# Uh-oh!

# I don't know about you but I'm feeling 22

# Everything will be all right if you keep me next to you

# You don't know about me... #

-Got it in your head?

-Mm-hm.

-Ready, steady, play. Off you go.

SHE PLAYS TUNE

OK.

SHE PLAYS TUNE

OK, Lucy, your turn.

SHE PLAYS TUNE

OK, Gareth.

HE PLAYS TUNE

Yeah.

HE PLAYS TUNE

Wonderful.

I don't know what you were playing, but it was magical.

For a maximum of 50 points, Tom,

what's the answer I'm looking for?

-Don't know, but I'll go Angels.

-Classic by Robbie Williams.

It isn't, unfortunately.

Let's open the door for 40 points. James, what was Gareth playing?

-Was it Work?

-It's not Work.

Let's open the door for 30 points.

Come on, Gareth, don't let me down.

-Uh, Firework by Katy Perry.

-Ah!

Great tune, but it's not, I'm afraid.

Let's open the door. Lucy?

Come on, you've got that thing where you, like, you know...

Like that...

Love Me Like You.

Oh, it's not...

Love Me Like You.

Let's open the door for 10 points.

Fight Song.

It's not Fight Song.

Oh, unlucky. Kate, what was it?

It was 22, Taylor Swift.

Have a listen.

# Uh-oh!

# I don't know about you but I'm feeling 22... #

-Played it well, didn't she?

-Played it well. Unlucky, guys.

Unlucky. Round of applause.

Don't get any points...

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-..but I was entertained.

That was a tough one. That was tough.

'So, after three rounds,

'Jasmine's team have 100 points and Rachel's team have 70 points.'

So, now it's time to reveal the scores

from the Copycats Challenge.

Which team smashed The Sequence

and which team are taking a starring role in the Ball Room?

In today's challenge, one team scored 105 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Very good. Very good.

And one team also scored 105 points

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh-ho!

Now, 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...

Jasmine's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Which means we have to say goodbye to Rachel's team.

-You've been fantastic. Enjoyed yourselves?

-ALL:

-Yes.

You've been wonderful. Give it up for Rachel's team.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Well done, guys. See you.

-See you later, guys.

-See you, guys.

Well done, Jasmine's team. Nice work.

-Are you ready for one final Copycats Challenge? ALL:

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

-Yeah! It's time to play the Ball Room.

Here we go, team.

There is only one more thing you need to do to get your hands

on this very impressive Copycats trophy.

Yeah. All you have to do is beat the Ball Room.

-Ooh!

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

-Woo!

OK, Jasmine, team captain,

who have you chosen to go into the Ball Room?

-Myself, Megan and Simone.

-Fantastic.

Before we open the doors and let you in,

let's take a look at how you win.

'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.'

-Team, the best of luck. Come on.

-Come on!

In three, two, one...

-BOTH:

-Blast the balls!

'In the Ball Room are Simone, Jasmine and Megan.

'And there's one already. Look at that.

'In total, we're looking for 20 of those blue balls

'in the scoring cylinder.

'They're getting themselves organised in there.

'Come on.

'Excellent. There we go. Simone pops another one in.

'Keep up the pace, girls. Come on.

'I can see a lot of movement in the Ball Room,

'but in the end it will be the number

-of blue balls that count.

-SHE SCREAMS

'And a lot of shrieking we can hear.'

'Another one for Megan.

'Come on. Catch them.

'You can't pick them up from the floor.

'They have to be in the air. There we go. There's another.

'Megan doing really well. Ten seconds to go, girls. Come on.

'Quickly as you can.

'But do we have enough? We're about to find out.

'There's another one in.'

KLAXON BLARES

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Right, 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...

-18 blue balls!

-Ah, man!

So close! Aw.

-Have you enjoyed yourselves anyway?

-ALL:

-Yeah.

You've been a wonderful team. You really have.

Give it up for Jasmine's team.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Nice work, guys.

Hey, we're not going to let you go empty-handed as well.

-We're going to give you some Copycats T-shirts!

-Wow!

-That's the kind of guys we are.

-Almost better than the trophy.

Yeah, we've got loads. We really need to get rid of them.

-We'll see you next time on Copycats.

-See you.

-Bye!

-Bye!
