Episode 21 Copycats

-MR D:

-Welcome to Copycats.

Today's Copycats are Charlotte's team from Stockport

and Kitty's team from Hartlepool.

And here are your hosts, Sam and Mark.

-BOTH:

-Hello!

-And welcome to Copycats.

The game show where copying is good.

Yes, we love copying so much on this show

that we actually give you loads of points for doing it well.

And not only that, if you're really, REALLY good at copying,

you could take home what has been described as

possibly the most monumental prize in TV game show history -

the Copycats trophy.

-AUDIENCE:

-Woo!

It may have been me who described it that way, but never mind.

Only one of today's teams will get the chance to win

that piece of fabulousness.

So, let's meet them.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Right, over here we've got Charlotte.

-How are you doing, Charlotte?

-I'm fine, thank you. How are you?

Very well. Thank you for asking.

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

So, this is my friend from dance, Amelie,

and this is my other friend from dance, Lenka,

this is my uncle, Tim,

-this is my mum, Celia.

-Hi.

And this is my dad, David.

Excellent. It is lovely to have you all here.

Are you ready and raring for Copycats today?

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Yeah!

It's going to be good. Give it up for Charlotte's team.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And over here we have got Kitty's team.

-Captain Kitty, are you happy, raring to go?

-Yeah.

-Fantastic.

Introduce the rest of the gang, please.

This is my friend, Millie, from performing arts,

this is my other friend, Vaughan, from performing arts,

this is Karen, Vaughan's mam,

my mam, Claire,

Anthony, which is Millie's dad.

Fantastically done, Kitty. That is why you're the team captain.

-All right. So, are you going to win it for me today?

-ALL:

-Yes!

All right! OK. Let's hear it for Kitty's team! Come on!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It looks like our teams are ready to start copying.

As with every game of Copycats,

our teams will take turns to copy pictures, actions, hit music,

-famous people or even sound effects.

-Ooh.

And remember, there are plenty more points to play for

when our teams take on the might of the Copycats Challenge.

Now, before the show,

the team captains had a Chihuahua tickling contest

-to decide who would go first.

-No, no, they didn't.

No Chihuahuas were tickled in the making of this show.

Yeah, all right, spoilsport, they tossed a coin - very boring.

Charlotte's team, you guys won the toss so you will be going first.

Let's play Copycats.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, Charlotte's team, you now need to channel your creative powers

and do some dynamic drawing because we are playing Quick On The Draw.

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

You're going to pick one of these cards.

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

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

And then you'll pass it on down the line, all the way to the bottom.

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

but as we pass it back down the line,

you will lose 10 of those points for every wrong answer.

-Do you understand?

-Yeah.

-Copycats, are you ready? ALL:

-Yes!

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

-Right, Lenka, I've got three cards, pink, green or blue?

-Green.

She's gone for the green one.

Take a look.

Do you reckon you can draw that?

-Yes.

-Awesome. I like the confidence.

Best of luck. You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, draw.

Charlotte, go for it.

OK. Celia, go for it.

David.

LAUGHTER

Tim. Ooh, ey up, Tim. He got smacked with the door.

Oh, ey up. Here we go.

Time is up.

APPLAUSE

Interesting. Interesting.

Amelie, for a maximum of 50 points,

what do you reckon Tim was meant to be drawing there?

Um...

Is it an alarm clock?

I'm afraid it's not an alarm clock.

OK, which means we're playing for 40 points.

Tim, what do you reckon?

-Is it a planet?

-It's not.

OK. Which means we're playing for 30 points.

-David, what do you reckon?

-I think it's an eyeball.

It's not. We're playing for 20 points.

Is it a balloon? Yes!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yes, it was indeed a balloon. Nice work, guys.

Great start. You get yourselves 20 points.

OK, Millie, I've got two cards left.

-Blue or pink, which one are you going for?

-Can I have blue, please?

-Of course you can.

-Thank you.

-Have a look at that.

-OK.

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Yeah.

The best of luck, Millie.

Ready, steady, draw!

OK, Claire, your turn.

Your turn, Anthony.

LAUGHTER

OK, Vaughan.

Come on, Karen!

HE CHUCKLES

OK, stop drawing.

Kitty is nodding her head. She thinks she knows this.

-I don't know whether you do.

-LAUGHTER

But we'll find out.

Kitty, for a maximum of 50 points, what's the answer?

A toaster.

That's a great guess cos it does look like a toaster

but it's not the answer, unfortunately.

Right, Karen, 40 points, what are we looking for?

A radio?

Another great guess but it's not the answer.

OK, for 30 points, Vaughan, have a look at Anthony's drawing.

A bus.

Great guesses because they do look like all of those things...

-LAUGHTER

-..but it's not the answer.

OK, let's open the door.

Anthony, what do you think it is?

A building block.

It's not a building block.

OK, for 10 points, what are we looking for?

Cheese?

-It's cheese! Yay!

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done. Fantastic.

Hey, 10 points! Give them a round of applause.

-APPLAUSE

-Well done.

So, after Quick On The Draw,

are Charlotte's team floating all the way to the Ball Room?

-You know, with a balloon and that?

-Oh, nice.

-Brilliant.

-Yeah, good.

And will Kitty's team have cheesy grins by the end of the show?

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

Well, Mark, after Quick On The Draw,

Charlotte's team have 20 points

and Kitty's team have 10 points.

Ooh, it's close.

OK, the next round is guaranteed to really test our teams.

They need to show skill and determination to win the points

when they pit their wits against the Copycats Challenge.

And because Charlotte's team won the toss,

they will face the challenge first.

So, Kitty's team, that means we're going to send you off for a bit.

-Go on, go and have a cup of tea.

-Yay!

-Say bye to Kitty's team.

-Bye, Kitty's team.

-Bye.

-Bye, Kitty's team.

-Put your feet up.

Now, Charlotte, as team captain, you have to select two people

from your team to take on this awesome Copycats Challenge.

-It is awesome.

-It's awesome.

But you don't know that yet. You're about to find out what it is.

Cos it's this. Mr D, what could it be?

The Towers.

Two players must stack six cubes of different colours and sizes

by copying the order shown on the screen.

Cubes must be stacked in the building zones

and 30 points are scored for every tower

that stays standing for two seconds.

Good luck.

Yes, it's time to play The Towers.

So, David and team captain Charlotte, best of luck.

In three, two, one, go!

'Great game, this.

'Worth keeping up the pace.

'The more towers you complete,

'the more points you get.

'And David, Charlotte's dad, has the right idea.

'He moved all the cubes across to the building zone, didn't he?

'You just get cracking on building your first tower.'

OK. Step back from it.

'They're following the pattern of the colours on screen.'

'Will it stand for two seconds?

'Yes! Is the answer.

'That was very good. First one done.

'Over to the other side to build the next tower.'

-Green! Green!

-'A lot of running around now.'

-Hurry, Charlotte!

'Charlotte just checking the order.

'You have to make sure you've stacked the cubes carefully.

'You can't afford for them to topple.

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

OK, step away from it. Wait for it.

'Let's try this one.'

-Yes!

-'Success!

'47 seconds remaining.

-'Come on, guys.'

-THEY SHOUT

'The third tower coming up.

'It's become very noisy in the Copycats studio.'

Yellow! Yellow!

'Good to see the biggest cube, the orange one,

'is on the bottom this time.

'Yellow, purple.

'They're getting very excited.'

-OK, step away.

-'Oh, he's completed another one.

-'Stand back.'

-Good.

-Yes!

-'Yes.'

-Keep going. 20 seconds left, guys.

-'They're doing really well here.'

-Come on, try and do it.

-'Not very long left. Come on.

'You might just do this.

'Can we make four towers in total?

-'Quickly as you can.'

-You've got ten seconds.

'Oh! Well held.'

Come on, you can do it.

-'Come on, quickly as you can. Try that.'

-Here we go!

-'Success!'

-Time's up.

-'Brilliant.'

-Time's up. Right on the money on that last one.

Nice work, team.

We are going to hold on tight to those scores

and we will add them to your total score after the music round.

Don't forget, Kitty's team still have to take on

the Copycats Challenge.

The points that each team win from these challenges

could make all the difference

because only one team will win the chance to take on the Ball Room.

So, let's hear it one more time for Charlotte's team. Good effort, guys.

Welcome back to the game, Kitty's team.

Let's play Mime Time.

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

You're going to pick one of those cads.

You'll then have ten seconds to mime whatever is on the card

for the player next to you, which is Millie,

and then so on and so on down the line.

And remember, guys, we are looking for silent performances.

As with every pass-it-on game, there are 50 points to play for,

but as we go back down the line,

you will lose 10 points for every incorrect answer.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes!

All right. In that case, let's close the doors.

OK, Anthony. I've got a good feeling about this. Pink, green or blue?

-I'll have the green one, please.

-Green one? Have a look at that.

-Do you reckon you can do that?

-GIGGLING

I'm looking forward to it.

-Yeah.

-HE LAUGHS

Nothing like a bit of confidence, Anthony. OK, best of luck.

Ready, steady, mime!

OK, Millie, your turn.

OK, Vaughan, your turn.

OK, Claire.

OK, Kitty.

Right, stop miming.

Right, for a maximum of 50 points, Karen?

A ballerina.

It was what Kitty was doing

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

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

A dancer.

It is not a dancer.

OK, let's open the door. Let's think about it.

For 30 points...

Exercise person.

It is not an exercise person.

OK, for 20 points, Vaughan, any idea?

Personal instructor.

It is not a personal instructor.

Let's open the door.

Millie, 10 points. Come on!

Doing yoga?

-Yes!

-Yes!

-APPLAUSE

Well done, Millie.

10 points for Kitty's team.

-All right, Tim, are you feeling confident?

-I am.

-Yeah, I like that.

-Absolutely.

Lovely. Well, we've got two cards left, blue or pink?

Blue.

Blue. Take a look at it.

-Reckon you can mime that?

-Mmm.

SAM MUMBLES AND LAUGHS

OK, the best of luck, mate.

you've got ten seconds. Ready, steady, mime.

Mind the door. Mind the door.

OK, here we go. Celia, your turn.

Nice. David, your turn.

Nice work, David.

Lenka, your turn.

Amelie, your turn. Mind that door.

Time is up. All right.

Pretty good copying there down that line.

Charlotte, team captain, for a maximum of 50 points,

-what is the answer we are looking for?

-Is it walking on a tightrope?

Do you know what, Charlotte, that's exactly what it is!

Yeah! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Aw, look at this.

That never happens.

-Get back in position!

-Sorry.

-SAM LAUGHS

Oh, nice work, guys.

Round two, Mime Time, 50 points.

Brilliant.

So, after Mime Time,

have Charlotte's team found the perfect balance?

And do Kitty's team need to practise

their crouching tiger, hidden dragon-monkey?

-What's that?

-It's a Barnsley yoga move. I'll teach you later, mate.

Oh, OK. Mr D, what are the scores?

'Well, Mark, after Mime Time,

'Charlotte's team have 70 points

'and Kitty's team have 20 points.'

Right, enough of the laughter.

It's time to get serious.

Because it's time for Kitty's team to take on the Copycats Challenge.

So, Kitty's team, this is your opportunity

to get your hands on a whopping pile of points to add to your total.

-Are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-Come on!

-Beautiful. Charlotte's team, you guys can take a rest.

You've done the challenge. We'll see you a little bit later on.

-Byesie-bye. ALL:

-Bye.

-Bye.

Bye-bye. Miss you already!

Stop it.

OK, Kitty, as team captain,

it's now up to you to decide who faces the Copycats Challenge.

But before you choose, let's check out what's in store for you.

Mr D, what could it be?

'The Towers.

'Once again, two players must stack six cubes

'of different colours and sizes

'by copying the order on the screen.

'30 points are scored for every tower that stays standing

'for two seconds.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yeah, it is Towers time.

OK, so, team captain Kitty has chosen Anthony and Vaughan to play.

-Are you ready, guys?

-BOTH:

-Yes.

Three, two, one, go!

'So, let's see how they get on, shall we?

-'They are moving very quickly.'

-Yellow, yellow!

'That's Anthony reaching across for each of the cubes.'

Purple! Purple!

'As quickly as you can.'

-The red is behind you.

-Red, Vaughan!

'They're having to be told where the next one is.

'There we go. That's the red. That's complete.'

-And yes!

-'Yeah, that was good.

'A little bit on the shaky-side

'but it did stay in place for two seconds. That's all we ask.

'Second tower, then.

'You can see the order of colours on screen.

'The trouble is, those cubes are different sizes.

'The biggest is the orange one,

-'the smallest is the red.'

-Yellow! Yellow!

'And it is Kitty you hear screaming the colours to Vaughan and Anthony.

'Where's that blue cube? It's over there, that's where it is.

-OK, OK. Ooh!

-'Does that work?'

-Yes!

-'Yes, it does.'

-Next one.

Orange!

'There we go, look. All the cubes pretty well over to the other side.

'Well done, Anthony. That saves a bit of time.'

Red, red, red!

'And, look, this tower is very nearly complete.

'Will it balance for the two seconds?

'Yes, it will. Brilliant.

'We've got three already,

'hoping for a fourth.

'With just over 20 seconds to go.

'Cubes are going everywhere.

'Bring those over, Vaughan, come on.'

-Green!

-Purple!

-'Quickly as you can.'

-Be careful.

'Finally, the blue one.

'Will it work?'

-Yes!

-'Yes, it will. Brilliant.

'Just a few seconds left, you might as well have a go.

'As quickly as you can.

'Time is running out. Come on!'

-KLAXON

-Stop.

Come on, gang. Come over here.

I'm shattered just watching that.

What just happened there?

OK. Well, well done. Fantastic.

There is just one more round to go

before we add those challenge points to your total score

and we reveal which team are taking on the Ball Room

to try and win that Copycats trophy.

Let's hear it for Kitty's team.

-Well done.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Charlotte's team. It's time for the music round.

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

you then have to recreate that tune to the person next to you,

which is Tim, on the old Copycats kazoo.

The tune will then be copied all the way down the line.

As always, there's a maximum of 50 points up for grabs

but don't forget you will lose 10 of those points

for every incorrect answer coming back down the line.

Now, could everybody, except David, please put your head phones on

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

Our Copycats look like they're ready. Let's close the doors.

-So, David, are you musical in

-any way? Yes.

-You are? Good.

-Do you play an instrument?

-Trumpet.

Oh! Nice!

Nice. OK, well, we've got three tunes here on three different cards.

-Pink, blue or green?

-I'm going to go green.

-Green. Take a look.

OK.

-You know that?

-Yes. I need to hear it, though.

-Of course.

We shall play it into the studio right now.

# You and me got a whole lot of history

# We could be the greatest team

# That the world has ever seen. #

Best of luck. You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, play.

Nice. Tim.

-Such a shame.

-That's a shame!

SHE GIGGLES

Time's up.

Lenka, I've got a good feeling about this.

LAUGHTER

For 50 points, what do you think the song is?

Once I Was Seven Years Old.

It's not. Which means we're playing for 40 points.

Charlotte, what do you reckon it is?

Er, Sorry.

It's all right, you don't have to apologise. Just...

-No, no, the song! The song.

-LAUGHTER

Oh, the song. The song. It's not.

Which means we're playing for 30 points.

Amelie, what do you reckon?

Love Yourself.

It's not Love Yourself.

Which means we're playing for 20 point.

-Celia, any idea?

-Stitches.

It's not Stitches.

It is a tough one, I must admit.

-Tim, any idea?

-No.

-I just don't know it.

-OK.

-Going to be difficult, then.

-I'm going to go for Fast Cars.

-Fast Cars, nice song. Great song.

-Yeah.

It wasn't. David, do you want to tell everybody?

-It was History.

-By One Direction. Let's hear it.

# You and me got a whole lot of history... #

David, I thought you did a fantastic job there.

-Thank you.

-You were very good.

But unfortunately in the music round you don't get any points,

but give them a round of applause anyway.

APPLAUSE

Gook luck, Vaughan.

-I have got pink or blue, which one would you like?

-Blue.

OK, have a look at that.

-Do you know that song?

-Yes.

Fantastic.

Well, we are going to play it

into the studio right now. Let's have a listen.

# Is it too late now to say sorry?

# Cos I'm missing more than just your body

# O-o-oh. #

Best of luck, Vaughan.

Ready, steady, play. Open the door.

OK, Claire, your turn.

OK, Anthony.

OK, Kitty.

Your turn, Karen.

OK.

OK, for a maximum of 50 points, Millie, what's the answer?

Flashlight.

It is not Flashlight. Great song, though.

OK, let's open the door.

For 40 points, Karen, any idea?

Sorry.

It's Sorry! Yes!

Wow. Karen, fair play. That's impressive stuff.

Congratulations, Kitty's team, you get yourselves 40 points.

-THEY CHEER

-Yes!

'It's close, then.

'After three rounds, Charlotte's team have 70 points

'and Kitty's team have 60 points.'

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

Which team triumphed at the Towers?

And which team will be waltzing wonderfully into the Ball Room?

-That's not easy to say.

-It's not.

Well, it's time to find out.

In today's challenge, one team scored 120 points.

-AUDIENCE:

-Woo!

And one team also scored 120 points.

Ooh, that's interesting!

We have added those scores to each team's total

and, guys, it is really, really close.

But the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Charlotte's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

But, I tell you what, it was so close.

I don't want to kick you when you're down

but there was only 10 points in it

cos you did so well in the music round.

-Have you had a good time on Copycats?

-Yes!

You've been fantastic. Give it up one more time for Kitty's team.

Off you go, guys.

Charlotte's team, congratulations.

You've made it through to the Ball Room.

-Are you ready for this final challenge?

-Yes!

Oh, my goodness. That was loud.

It's time to play the Ball Room!

So, here you are on the brink of something very special indeed -

getting your hands on the bingy-boingy beauty

that is the Copycats trophy.

-Reveal it!

-Oh.

But to do that, you have to beat the Ball Room!

-AUDIENCE:

-Oooh!

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?

-Yes!

Best of luck. In three, two, one.

-BOTH:

-Blast the balls!

'And the Ball Room springs into life.

'There are thousands of balls in there.

'Ooh, and look at this. Look at this, the technique.

'Oh, there's an orange one in there already.

'That will be deducted, of course.

'But they've obviously thought about this.

'Make a sort of cradle with your arms

'and the balls fall in. That's just...

'What a brilliant idea.

'And that's precisely what Celia and Tim are doing with their arms.

'Leaving Charlotte to sort out the blue balls

'from all the other colours.

'Now, we need 20 blue balls in that scoring cylinder, please.

'I don't think Charlotte can believe her luck.'

HE CHUCKLES

'This is very clever.

'You're not allowed to pick the balls up from the floor

'but that's all the rules say.

'Clever, clever, clever.

'Time's running out. Come on!

-'A couple in there.'

-KLAXON

OK, the balls have been counted

and the results have been checked and verified.

Don't forget, you needed 20 blue balls.

I can reveal that you collected...

..47 blue balls!

Here you go! Hold it up.

Hold it up high!

Fantastic.

-Nice work.

-Woo!

How are you feeling, Charlotte?

Really proud.

You should be really proud.

And do you know what?

We're going to make this even better

cos we're going to throw in

-some Copycats T-shirts.

-What?!

-Yes!

Did you see? She went, "Yes!"

Oh, a brilliant end to the show.

I can't believe it's all over.

I know. I can't believe it's over.

We'll see you next time on Copycats.

-Bye.

-Bye.
