Episode 19 Copycats

'Welcome to Copycats.

'Today's Copycats are Hannah's team from South Lanarkshire

'and Keziah's team from Bristol.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

-BOTH:

-Hello!

-Welcome to Copycats

where, unlike school, we actually encourage copying

the work of the person next to you.

Our teams are all set to draw, mime and kazoo their way to the Ball Room

via the Copycats Challenge.

That's right. Because all they want

is to get hold of this thing of beauty -

-the new, the improved but still very springy...

-It is.

..Copycats Trophy!

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

-Beautiful. Shall we meet the teams?

-Let's do it!

-Hi, Hannah.

-Hello.

-How you?

-Good.

-So, you're team captain on this side.

-Mm-hm.

-Excellent.

-Would you like to introduce the gang, please?

-OK.

This is Rory, my friend.

This is Mhairi, Rory's mum.

This is Mrs Wood, my teacher.

This is my mum.

-And this is Tilly, my friend.

-Excellent.

-It's lovely to have you. Are you all all right? ALL:

-Yes.

-So, Joyce, was that Mrs Wood?

-Mrs Wood, yes.

So, do we call you Joyce or Mrs Wood?

-You can call me Joyce today.

-OK. Excellent. Excellent.

-What about Hannah? Can Hannah call you Joyce?

-Just for today.

-Yes!

We get to call a teacher by their real name!

Awesome. I'm so excited. The best of luck for today.

Give it up for Hannah's team, everyone.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Over here we've got Keziah's team.

-Keziah, team captain, how are you?

-I'm good, thank you.

-Fantastic.

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

-Yes.

Well, this is my friend, Joe.

And this is Joe's dad, Darren.

This is my mum, Amanda.

And this is Phil, Annabel's dad.

And this is Annabel, my school friend.

Well, it is lovely to have you here.

Now, Keziah, is there any weak links, would you say, in your team?

-Not really. The adults are always a setback, but...

-Yeah.

-LAUGHTER

-I'm with you. Sorry.

Sorry you had to bring us.

-Darren, you're not going to be that bad, are you?

-Possibly.

Nothing like a bit of a confidence boost, is there?

Well, the best of luck. Keziah's team, everyone.

Fantastic.

-SAM LAUGHS

-Brilliant.

-That was great.

-Hey, our teams look ready to go.

-Yes, they do indeed.

We tossed a coin earlier which told us that

Hannah's team are going to be playing first.

So, let's play Copycats.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I can't wait to see Hannah's team display their artistic talents

with the aptly named Quick On The Draw.

Tilly, you will pick one of these three cards.

You will then have ten seconds to draw whatever is on this card

to the player next you which is team captain, Hannah.

And then Hannah will copy it to Donna

and so on and so on down the line.

There is a maximum of 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.

-Are we ready? ALL:

-Yes!

Let's close the doors.

Right, Tilly, three cards.

Pink, blue or green?

-Pink, please.

-Take a look.

-OK.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-Yeah.

Awesome. You've got ten seconds.

The best of luck. Ready, steady, draw.

All right. Hannah, your turn.

OK. Donna, your turn.

Mhairi, your turn.

Rory.

Time is up. Stop drawing.

Tremendous.

Joyce, for a maximum of 50 points,

what is the answer we're looking for?

-A car.

-It's not the answer we're looking for, unfortunately.

-Which means we're playing for 40 points. Rory?

-Truck.

It's not a truck. Which means we're playing for 30 points.

-Mhairi, what do you reckon?

-A rope.

A rope. It's not a rope. THEY LAUGH

We're playing for 20 points.

-Donna, take a look at Hannah's drawing.

-Hangman.

It's not unfortunately.

Which means we are playing for the minimum of 10 points.

-Hannah, what do you reckon it is?

-A mop.

A mop? Oh, that does look like mop. It does.

But that's not the answer, I'm afraid. Tilly?

-It's meant to be a toothbrush.

-Aw, a toothbrush.

APPLAUSE Not a car.

THEY LAUGH

Unfortunately, at the end of Quick On The Draw,

you don't get any points, but give them a round of applause.

That was very, very entertaining.

OK, Phil, I've got two colours left.

-I've got blue or green, which one would you like?

-Blue is lucky.

-It's like your shirt. Lovely colour.

-Thank you.

-Let's have a look.

-Do you reckon you can do that?

-Yes.

OK. Well, the best of luck.

Ready, steady, draw. Off you go.

OK. Amanda, your turn.

OK. Keziah, your turn.

OK. Darren, your turn.

OK, Annabel.

OK. Stop drawing. I've got to say, very good copying down the line.

Joe, for 50 points, what's the answer I've got on my card?

-Mountains.

-Yes!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Good work.

-Wow.

-Well done, buddy.

-Good work.

You get the maximum of 50 points.

Yay!

So, after Quick On The Draw,

do Hannah's team need to brush up their copying skills?

Or are Keziah's team scaling new heights?

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

'Well, Mark, after Quick On The Draw,

'Hannah's team have no points

'and Keziah's team have 50 points.'

Now, our teams might have got off to a good start in the cubicles,

but how will they fare when the pressure is really on?

This is the Copycats Challenge.

Now, because Hannah's team won the toss,

they are first to face the challenge.

So, Keziah's team, so you don't get a sneaky peak of the challenge,

we are going to send you on your way. Off you go.

-We'll see you later.

-Bye!

-Bye.

-See you later.

Right, Hannah, as team captain, you now have to select three people

-to take on the dramatic Copycats Challenge.

-Hmm.

But before you do that, let's see what's 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 look.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Are you ready to recall?

Team captain, Hannah,

you have chosen Rory, Donna and Tilly to play this game.

-Are you feeling good about that decision?

-Mm-hm.

-Yeah.

In three, two, one, go.

'And there is the first pattern.

'Rory, Donna and Tilly trying to recall the patterns.'

-Two, two.

-'Donna is first up.'

That's it, guys. Talk to each other.

'That's Hannah's mum.'

It's all about communication and speed, this game.

'Not on her own, though.

'The rest of the team can help with words of advice.'

There, there. The last one.

-That's it.

-Good.

-Yes, Donna.

'They're certainly offering that advice, aren't they?

-'Has that worked?'

-Yes, well done!

-'Yes, it has.'

-'Brilliant.'

-OK, next one.

'The next pattern was there.

'It all happened very quickly.'

There's a fourth one. Fourth one on top.

'It's Tilly moving the blocks to the squares that were lit up just then.

'Rory and Donna think they know where the blocks should go.'

The other way, Tilly, Tilly.

'Now, is that right?

-'No, it's not.'

-Oh, sorry.

'Oh.'

-Right, Rory.

-'Rory's turn now.'

-Across one.

-Here?

-That's it. One up.

-Where?

-Up one. That's it.

-'Just over 30 seconds to go.

-'We need to do this quickly, guys.'

-Keep going, guys.

-Right, Hannah, where are you?

-Rory, across. Move that one across.

'Mhairi giving very specific instructions

'on where the lights came on,

'but is she right?

'That's what Recall is all about.

'Lot a discussion about it.

'Quickly as you can.'

-What about the last one?

-'15 seconds.'

-Last one down one, Rory, I think.

-This one?

-'Just positioning that final block.'

-That one.

OK, you need to step off the board once you've done.

'They're not sure, are they? Five seconds to go.

'Let's see if it worked. No!'

That's a shame.

'Never mind.'

KLAXON SOUNDS OK. Time is up. Time is up.

SAM LAUGHS

Come on over, guys.

We will add those points from that challenge to your total

after the third round.

Remember, Keziah's team still have to play

and this 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 Hannah's team, everyone.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

Keziah, 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 Joe,

and then so on and so on down the line.

-OK, Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes!

Let's close the doors.

OK, team captain, Keziah, I've got green, blue or pink.

-Which one would you like?

-Pink.

-OK. Have a look at that.

Do you reckon you can do that?

-Yeah.

-Brilliant.

OK, well, the best of luck.

Ready, steady, mime. Off you go.

OK, Joe, your turn.

Darren.

OK, Annabel.

Right, your turn, Phil.

OK. Stop miming.

Excellently done down the line, but for a maximum of 50 points,

what's the answer?

Was Phil putting on mascara?

Yes!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That was brilliant.

Congratulations. You get yourselves the full 50 points. Yay!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, Mhairi. We've got two cards left.

Blue or green?

-Blue.

-Blue. Take a look.

Reckon you can mime that?

SAM LAUGHS All right. The best of luck.

You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, mime.

HE LAUGHS Joyce, your turn.

Hannah, your turn.

OK. Tilly, your turn.

Look at Rory's face.

Right, Rory, your turn.

RORY GIGGLES

Time is up.

Right, we're playing for 50 points.

What do you think the answer is?

Irish dancing.

Ooh.

It's not, unfortunately.

-40 points. Come on, Rory.

-Skipping.

Oh! It's not skipping.

Which means we're playing for 30 points. Tilly?

Horse riding.

Yay!

APPLAUSE

Nice work!

-Mhairi, you were tremendous at that.

-Thank you.

-Do you do horse riding?

-Never.

-Never?

You looked great. You should take it up. You were fantastic.

Well done, guys. At the end of Mime Time,

you get yourself 30 points. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, after Mime Time, have Keziah's team got their eyes on the prize?

Or are Hannah's team galloping straight to the Ball Room?

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

'Well, Sam, after Mime Time,

'Hannah's team have 30 points

'and Keziah's team have 100 points.'

Now, we saw Hannah's team face the dreaded Copycats Challenge

earlier on in the show.

How will Keziah's team cope with the pressure?

Ooh. Shall we find out?

Hannah's team, you guys can go and relax for a bit.

-You've done this. See you later.

-Bye.

-Bye.

-See you later.

Keziah, as team captain, you now need to select

three superstar players to face the Copycats Challenge,

but before that we need to find out what the challenge is.

Mr D, what is it, mate?

-He's not your mate.

-He is. He's not YOUR mate.

-He is.

-He hates you.

-He hates you.

-He hates you!

-No, he hates you.

-He loves me.

-He loves me.

-He hates you.

'Boys, boys, I love you both.

'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.

'Good luck.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK. Team captain Keziah, you've picked Phil, Annabel and Darren

-to play this game. Are you happy with that?

-Yeah.

In three, two, one, go.

'And there is the first pattern, look.'

-JOE:

-OK, there.

'So, it's Darren, Joe's dad,

'being told precisely where to put the blocks by Joe.'

Those two, like, in the middle. Two in a row.

-And then across again.

-'He's obviously remembered the pattern.'

-There.

-'Listen to him.'

-AMANDA:

-And down again.

'But is he right? That's the question we ask.

'He seems very confident

'and right to be so. Look at that.

'First one under our belt.

'This is Annabel,

-'Keziah's friend from school.'

-And the next one up.

And then...

'Great advice from those not actually playing.'

-AMANDA:

-No, the other one forward. Other one forward.

'Follow their instructions.

'That's what I would do, Annabel, if I were you.'

-JOE:

-And then get that and put that where the other one was.

'The final block now coming into place.'

-Well done.

-'Clear the grid.'

'There it is. That's good.

'That's two already.'

-JOE:

-There's a square there!

-The other one back.

'Phil takes to the grid now.'

-PHIL:

-Right, where do I go next?

'A bit more discussion over this pattern.'

-At the very top. Left.

-'He's asking, "Where next?"'

-No, no. OK, up.

-No.

'It's taking a bit longer, this one. Nothing wrong with that, though.'

-That's great, guys.

-'As long as they get it right.'

-Um, there.

-There. No.

No, no. Back, back. This way.

-This way.

-20 seconds left.

-'Very precise instructions from Joe.'

-Ooh!

-'15 seconds left.

'Didn't quite work that one.

'There's the next pattern.

'Let's go for this one instead, shall we? Here we go.'

-You've got ten seconds left.

-Quick, quick!

'Come on. Quickly as you can, Darren.'

-No, no.

-No, up! Up!

-'No!'

-MR D CHUCKLES

-KLAXON SOUNDS

-OK. You well done, guys.

Come on over. Come on over.

We will add those challenge points to your total after our final round.

We'll find out which of our teams have earned their place

in the Copycats Ball Room.

Let's hear it for Keziah's team.

-Well done, guys.

-APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Hannah's team. I've missed you. I've missed you.

This is the Music Round.

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

then recreate that tune to the person next to you

using the Copycats kazoo.

Let's see your kazoos, everyone.

There they are. Beautiful.

Now, can everyone, except Tilly, 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.

All right. Tilly, I've got three cards for you. Blue, pink or green?

-Green, please.

-Green. Take a look.

-Do you know that song?

-No.

-You don't. OK, well don't worry.

We're going to play it into the studio,

so you can get the melody in your head. Let's hear it.

# ABC

# Easy as 123

# Oh, simple as do, re, me

# ABC

-# 123, baby, you and me, girl. #

-Sound familiar?

-Yeah.

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

Ready, steady, play.

OK, Hannah, your turn.

Rory, your turn.

HE LAUGHS Donna, your turn.

KAZOO SQUEAKS

Joyce.

JOYCE GIGGLES

Time's up. Stop playing.

Right. Mhairi, good luck. SHE LAUGHS

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

-The Wombles.

-Of Wimbledon Common?

-Yes.

It's not, unfortunately.

For 40 points, Joyce, any idea?

Brown Eyed Girl, Van Morrison.

It's not Brown Eyed Girl.

Which means we're playing for 30 points.

-Donna?

-Jesus Christ Superstar.

-Are you a West End fan?

-Not particularly, no.

-Right, OK.

It's not, unfortunately.

We're playing for 20 points. Rory, any idea what Hannah was playing?

Mission: Impossible.

SAM LAUGHS It is mission impossible, this.

It's not, no, sadly.

OK. We're playing for 10 points.

Hannah, any idea?

Er.

Bones.

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

-ABC.

-ABC, Jackson Five. Let's hear it.

# ABC

# Easy as 123

# Oh, simple as do, re, me

# ABC

# 123. #

Aw. Unfortunately, that does mean that you don't get any points

in the Music Round, but give them a round of applause.

Good luck, Annabel. I've got two cards here.

-Pink or blue, which one would you like?

-Pink, please.

OK. Have a look at that.

-Do you know that song?

-Yes, I do.

Oh, brilliant. Well, that's a good start.

We are going to play it in the studio,

so you can get melody into your head. Have a listen.

# You got to hold on Hold on to what you're feeling

# That feeling is the best thing

# The best thing, all right

# I'm going to place my bet on us. #

OK, the best of luck, Annabel.

Ready, steady, play. Off you go.

Brilliant.

Go on, Amanda.

Oh.

It's a shame we had to stop, I was getting right into it.

All right, for a maximum of 50 points. It's a tough one.

Any idea, Phil, what Amanda was playing?

Well, I don't really have a strong guess,

but I think Bad Blood by Taylor Swift.

It's a good guess,

but unfortunately, it is the wrong answer.

Let's open the door. For 40 points, Amanda, any idea?

Love Me Like You Do, Ellie Goulding.

Another great song, but it's not, I'm afraid. Let's open the door.

-For 30 points.

-Is it Dancing Queen by Abba?

It's not. All great guesses, but unfortunately it's not the answer.

Come on, Joe. Do you know it? Do know it?

Is it Lips Are Moving?

No, it isn't. It isn't. Unlucky.

For a minimum, Darren. I think we know where it went wrong, don't we?

-Hey? Annabel did an amazing version.

-LAUGHTER

Aw. OK, any idea for 10 points?

-HE SIGHS

-No.

I think it's possibly How Soon Is Now by The Smiths.

-LAUGHTER

-Ask the dads.

And then the grandads as well.

It is not, unfortunately, mate.

-What is it?

-Up by Ollie Murs.

-Have a listen. Have a listen.

-# You've got to hold on

-# Hold on to what you're feeling...#

-She did a fantastic version.

I love Phil went, "I knew that, I knew that. Yeah."

Brilliant. It is so tough, the Music Round.

But unfortunately, you don't get any points.

Give them a round of applause.

'After three rounds,

'Hannah's team have 30 points

'and Keziah's team have 100 points.'

We've seen some top-class performances from both teams

in this show, but now it's time to find out what happened

in the challenge and who is headed straight for the Ball Room.

In today's challenge, one team scored 30 points.

APPLAUSE

And one team scored 60 points.

-ALL:

-Ooh.

-APPLAUSE

Interesting.

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...

TENSE MUSIC

..Keziah's team!

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

You've been lovely. Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-Yeah!

Well, thank you ever so much. You've been a great team.

Give it up for Hannah's team, everyone.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE See you later, guys.

Bye.

Well done, Keziah's team. Great copying so far.

-Are you up for one final challenge?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-'Course you are.

-Awesome. Let's go to the Ball Room.

Guys, you've played a good game today,

but it's only been a dream up until this point.

Right now this trophy is within your grasp.

-Do you want to touch it?

-It's there.

-Touch it. Get off it!

-Look at it. Don't touch it.

All you have to do to win it is beat the Ball Room.

I know. Team captain, Keziah, who have you chosen to play?

I've chosen myself, Joe and Phil.

OK. The best of luck.

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.'

OK, team, are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes!

-The best of luck.

-BOTH:

-In three, two, one, blast the balls!

'Phil, Joe and Keziah ready for action.

'There we go. Phil has caught one. In it goes.

'And another.

'He's quite tall, isn't he? So that could be helping.

'Come on, guys.

'We're looking for 20 balls inside the scoring cylinder.

'There you are. Full concentration.

'Oh, look!

'There's a ball stuck to Keziah's head.

'How has that happened?

'It's not a blue one, though, so we won't worry about it.

'Excellent. In they go. Look at this.

'Good scoring so far. Keep it up, guys.

-MR D CHUCKLES

-'It does look strange.

'It's not putting Keziah off, though.'

Catch them and then check what colour they are

once you've got them.

'Advice coming there from Phil by the sound of it.

'And they're mounting up.

'Only 20 seconds left, though, guys.

'Come on. Concentrate.

'Catch as many as you can.

'I can't see any going in. There's one. Good.

'Keep up the pace.

'Come on, Joe!

'Time is running out.'

KLAXON SOUNDS

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I think this is going to be pretty close, I'm not going to lie.

The balls have been counted,

the result has been checked and verified.

You needed 20 blue balls to win the trophy.

I can reveal that you collected...

TENSE MUSIC

Ooh.

..20 blue balls!

-Yes!

-THEY CHEER

In your face blue balls!

Oh, man. That...

-I tell you what, cut it fine, why don't you?

-I know.

-Right on the klaxon the last one went in.

-We were sweating.

We were going, "Come on, come on!"

-Are you happy?

-Yes.

-Yeah.

Aw. Nice one. Hey, guess what, guys.

We're going to throw in

some Copycats T-shirts as well.

-Yes!

-Phil's loving it. Loving it.

What a great way to end the show.

You have been a wonderful team.

Congratulations.

Give them a round of applause.

We shall see you next time

-on Copycats. BOTH:

-Bye!
