Episode 24 Copycats

'Welcome to Copycats.

'Today's Copycats are Hope's team from North London

'and Kiera's team from Stockport.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'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.

Two teams will compete to see

who are the kings and queens of copying,

but it's not crowns they have a chance of winning.

No, no, no, it's way better than that.

Now, you might not be able to wear it on your head,

but you can bingy-boingy it around to your heart's content.

That's way more fun.

It's the most glittering prize on TV, it's the Copycats Trophy.

-AUDIENCE:

-Wooooo!

But only one team will win the chance

to get their paws on that prize.

This copying lark is no walk in the park, you know.

So let's meet today's teams.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Right, over here we have Hope's team.

Hope, you are team captain. First of all, are you HOPING to win today?

Yes, I am.

Why don't you introduce the rest of the gang?

This is my brother Barney, my best friend Autumn,

her mum Debbie, my mum Anya and my mum's best friend Auntie May.

Excellent. It's lovely to have you here, guys.

Give it up for Hope's team.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, so over here we've got Kiera's team.

How are you doing, Kiera, are you all right, team captain?

-I'm fine, thank you.

-Fantastic. Introduce the rest of your gang.

These are my two best friends, Kitty and Poppy and my mum Vanessa,

my dad Bobby and my Auntie Caroline.

Fantastic. Who's going to be the

best player on your team, do you reckon?

-My dad.

-Your dad?

-Oh, confident.

-Confident, Bobby? Can you draw?

-No.

-He's good at the challenges.

-He's good at the challenges.

All right. Well, we'll get to find out.

Give it up for Kiera's team, everyone.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well, 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 maybe even sound effects.

And remember that there are big points up for grabs later on,

when our teams will take on the Copycats Challenge.

Now, before the show, our team captains were going to juggle

chocolate eggs to decide who went first.

Yeah, but someone not too far away ate all the eggs.

Yeah! That was me, wasn't it? Sorry.

Instead, they tossed a coin,

and Kiera's team won the toss and will be going first.

Let's play Copycats.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Kiera's team,

you will need to channel your inner artist

and show off your sketching skills for this game.

Yes, it's time to play Quick On The Draw.

Caroline, you're going to pick one of these cards.

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

for the player next to you, which is Vanessa.

And then so on and so on down the line.

There is a maximum of 50 points to be won in this round,

but as you pass it back down the line,

you will lose ten points for every incorrect answer.

Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yeah.

-OK, let's close the doors.

Lovely Caroline, I've got three colours here.

I've got blue, pink or green,

-which one would you like?

-I'll go for green, please.

-OK, have a look at that.

-Thank you.

Do you think you can draw that?

-I think so, yes.

-All right, quietly confident.

-I'll give it a go.

-Best of luck, Caroline.

Ready, steady, draw.

Vanessa, your turn.

OK, Kiera.

Kitty, your turn.

OK, Poppy.

Stop drawing. OK.

For a maximum of 50 points, what's the answer I've got on the card?

Is it a cat with pointed ears?

It is not a cat with pointed ears.

Let's open the door. Poppy, any idea?

A person with weird hair.

A person with weird hair.

No, we haven't got that.

Let's open the door, for 30 points. Kitty.

An eyeless human being.

These are fantastic guesses.

But it's not what we are looking for, unfortunately.

Let's open the door for 20 points.

-Is it a hedgehog?

-Great guess, but it's not what we're looking for.

Let's open the door for 10 points, Vanessa.

-King or queen.

-Oh, it's so close.

It's what a king or queen might wear and it is...?

-A crown.

-A crown,

Oh, so close.

Unlucky. You don't get any points,

but give them a round of applause, anyway.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, Barney, you've been chosen to do the drawing.

Are you any good at drawing?

Yeah, because my dad's an art teacher

so it's like a secret weapon.

Ah, nice, I like it.

OK, mate, well, we've got two cards left, pink or blue.

Which one would you like?

-I'll go for blue.

-Take a look.

OK.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-Yeah.

OK, best of luck, you've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, draw.

Debbie, your turn.

Autumn, go.

Anya, your turn.

Hope.

Time is up. Aw! It was going so well.

-May.

-A bear?

It's not a bear.

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

-A sheep?

SHOUTS: Yes.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Nice work Barney, you are, indeed, a secret weapon.

Nice work, 40 points for Hope's team.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, after Quick On The Draw, can Kiera's team

still be crowned victors?

And are Hope's team baa-rmy to get into the Ball Room?

-Excellent.

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

'Well, Mark, after Quick On The Draw,

'Hope's team have 40 points and

'Kiera's team have no points.'

Still all to play for. Still all to play for.

The next round is guaranteed to be a tough test for our teams.

If they want to win the points,

they'll need to handle the pressure of the Copycats Challenge.

And because Kiera's team won the toss,

they are first to face the challenge.

So, Hope's team, that means you guys get to be sent away so you don't see

what's going on. Have a rest, see you later, chill out.

Hey, enjoy that shirt, Barney.

We're all enjoying that shirt.

-We really are.

-It's tremendous.

Now, Kiera, as team captain,

you now need to select two people to face the awesome Copycats Challenge.

But before you take that pick, let's find out all about that challenge.

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.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yep, it's Towers time.

-OK, are you doing all right, over there?

-BOTH:

-Yeah.

Fantastic. Three, two, one, go.

'Kiera's team taking on The Towers then.

'Stacking the cubes, best friend Poppy and dad Bobby.

'Six cubes, different sizes, different colours,

'all you have to do is copy the order of colours

'you see on the screen.

'The faster you go, the more towers you can attempt.

'That orange one is huge, isn't it?

'It has to go on top of that green one.

'And when you're finished, all you have to do is stand clear and

'the tower has to stay standing for two seconds. Will it?

'Yes is the answer, brilliant.

'Let's go across now to the second tower.

'You can see the order of colours.

'Over to the other building zone go the cubes.

'All of them, there is one missing, where is it?

'It's the blue one.

'You've forgotten it. Come on! Hurry up. Hurry up!

'Let's check this tower.

'Yes, that one works as well.

'On we go, building our third tower now.

'As quickly as you can, guys.

'That's Kiera you can hear

'screaming support in the direction of Poppy and Bobby.

'We're halfway there.

'Come on, guys, quickly as you can.

'Oh, rebuild.

'It's not the end of the world.

'But make sure you get the balance right.

'They won't fall over.

Now, will this...? Oh! Careful, 20 seconds left.

'Will this count? Stand clear, Bobby.

'Yes. That one's worked.

'A few seconds left, look, ten at least, come on, have a quick go.

'Come on.

'Quickly as you can.

'Three seconds.

'Two, one,

-'Oh, that's it.'

-KLAXON SOUNDS

Well done. Come on, gang, fantastic.

OK, team, well done.

We'll hold on tight to those challenge points

for now and add them to your score after the music round.

Remember, Hope's team still needs

to take on the Copycats Challenge

and the points each team win could make all the difference,

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

So let's hear it one more time for Kiera's team.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back to the game, Hope's team.

Let's play Mime Time.

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

You're going to pick one.

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

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

Hope will then pass it on down the line

all the way down to the end to lovely Barney there.

Hi, Barney. Nice.

Now, don't forget in this round,

we're looking for silent performances.

No talky-talky.

As with every pass-it-on round, 50 points are up for grabs,

but don't forget you will lose ten of those points for every incorrect

answer coming back down the line.

-Copycats, are you ready? ALL:

-Yes!

I'm feeling it. Let's close the doors.

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

-Green, please.

-Take a look.

-Reckon you can mime that?

-Definitely.

We like that, confidence.

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

Ready, steady, mime.

Good. Hope.

Debbie, your turn.

Anya, your turn.

OK, May, your turn.

Time is up!

Right. Good copying down the line.

Barney, for a maximum of 50 points, what do you think the answer is?

-Toothache.

-Barney...

SHOUTS: It's toothache!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Fantastic miming skills.

Give it up for Hope's team, 50 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Kiera, best of luck, I've got pink or blue.

Which one would you like?

-Pink.

-OK, have a look at that.

Do you reckon you can do that?

-Yeah.

-Fantastic.

Best of luck, ready, steady, mime.

OK, Kitty, your turn.

THEY LAUGH

You've got three seconds, carry on.

OK, Poppy, your turn.

Hey, stop miming.

Right.

OK, Vanessa, what's the answer we're looking for? 50 points.

A kangaroo.

It's not a kangaroo.

Let's open the door, for 40 points, any idea what Caroline was doing?

Were you riding a horse?

It's a great guess, but it's not the answer.

Unfortunately. OK, for 30 points.

Was it a rabbit?

It is not a rabbit.

Let's open the door, for 20 points.

A squirrel jumping up.

It's not, I'm afraid.

Let's open the door for ten points.

-Kitty, any idea?

-Penguin.

-SHOUTS:

-It's a penguin, yes!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, you get yourself ten points.

So, after Mime Time,

have Hope's team fought tooth and nail to get to the Ball Room?

And do Kiera's team have happy feet?

It's time to check out the scores.

Mr D, what could they be?

'Well, Mark, after Mime Time, Hope's team have 90 points,

'and Kiera's team have 10 points.'

OK. Let's turn up the pressure again,

because it's time for Hope's team to take on the Copycats Challenge.

So, Hope's team, this is your chance

to add some big points to your score.

-Are you ready for it? ALL:

-Yeah.

-IMITATES: Yeah!

-And Kiera's team,

that means it's time for you to go off and have a nice cup of tea.

Go on, off you go, see you later.

-Bye.

-Bye.

-Bye.

-Bye-bye.

-Right, Hope, team captain,

you now need to choose two people

to take on this challenge, but before you do that,

we need to find out what it is.

-Don't we, Mark?

-We do, we do.

-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

It's Towers time.

Team captain Hope, I see that you've chosen May and Autumn to take

on this challenge. The best of luck, we are all rooting for you.

In three, two, one, go.

'Ah, it's a great game this, I love it.

'Hope's best friend Autumn and Auntie May.

'Running around the Copycats studio.

'The order we want to copy is on the screen right now.

'Rearrange those cubes, team,

'making sure that at the end, the tower balances.'

Remember, they've got to balance, guys.

'If they do balance,

'these towers are worth 30 points apiece.

'We're almost there, the red on top, stand clear and yes.

'Off to a good start.

'On we go.

'So, across to the second building zone now,

'and a new pattern to copy, quickly as you can.

'Plenty of support from the rest of the team now.

'This is fast, this is good news.'

Nice, fast, this is good.

'Does that work?

'Yes, it does.

'Trying for a third tower now.

'And we've got 40 seconds left.

'Go, go, go.

'At least the huge orange cube is on the bottom this time,

'giving us a good solid base on which to build this tower.

'A couple more cubes needed.

'And now, stand clear.

'Yes. Look at this now.

'You must be in with a chance of doing one more, go on.

'There's still enough time if you get a move on.

'It's going well so far.

'15 seconds.

'Quickly as you can. Follow the order.

'What goes on top of that?

'The red, and then the blue, stand clear.

'Yes. Excellent.

'That's it.'

Come on over, come on over.

OK, there is just one more round to go before we add those challenge

points to your total,

and reveal which team will be taking on the Ball Room

to try and win the Copycats Trophy.

But right now, let's give it up for Hope's team.

Well done.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Kiera's team.

This is the Music Round.

All you have to do is pick a well-known tune

and then you have ten seconds

to play it for the person next to you on the Copycats kazoo.

And the tune gets copied all the way down the line.

There is a maximum of 50 points up for grabs,

but you will lose ten points for every wrong answer.

Now, it's time to put on those headphones.

Our Copycats look ready so let's close the doors.

OK, Poppy, you need to pick one of these three cards.

Blue, green or pink?

-Blue.

-OK, have a look at that.

HE LAUGHS

Good start. She went, "Oh, no!"

Do you know that song?

Don't worry, we're going to play it into the studio.

Let's have a listen.

# I really, really, really, really, really, really like you

# And I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too?

# Oh, did I say... #

OK, do you think you can copy that?

-Yeah.

-OK, best of luck, Poppy.

Ready, steady, play.

Brilliant. OK.

OK, Vanessa.

Go on, Bobby.

THEY LAUGH

Go on, Kitty.

OK.

OK. For a maximum of 50 points, Kiera,

any idea of the answer we're looking for?

Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson.

Tune! It is not Smooth Criminal.

OK, let's open the door.

40 points, Kitty.

Sax?

It's a good guess, it's not the right answer.

OK. Let's open the door for 30 points.

-Bobby.

-Is it Thriller?

It's not the Michael Jackson song Thriller.

OK, let's open the door for 20 points, Vanessa, come on.

Crazy In Love.

It's not Crazy In Love.

Let's open the door, Caroline.

-Shake It Off?

-No.

It's not Shake It Off by Taylor Swift.

Poppy, tell them.

It was I Really Like You by Carly Rae Jepsen

Let's have a listen.

# I really, really, really, really, really, really like you

# And I want you, do you want me, do you want me, too? #

Well done, Poppy. Unfortunately,

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

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Right, Hope, it's the final round.

I've got two cards left, pink or green, which one would you like?

I think I'll go pink.

Go for it. Do you know that song?

Yeah, OK.

Do you want to hear it, get it in your head?

Yeah. OK, let's hear it.

MUSIC: Sing by Ed Sheeran

Have you got that in your head?

-Yeah.

-OK, the best of luck, Hope, you've got ten seconds.

Here we go. Ready, steady, play.

OK, time's up. Barney.

May.

Autumn.

Time is up!

Oh, dear.

Anya, for a maximum of 50 points,

any idea what Autumn was supposed to be playing there?

Uptown Funk.

It's not Uptown Funk.

So we're playing for 40 points.

-Autumn.

-Black Magic.

By Little Mix, it is not. Which means we're playing for 30 points.

May, any idea?

-Happy.

-It's not Happy.

Which means we are playing for 20 points.

Debbie, any idea what Barney was doing?

-Chandelier.

-Chandelier?

It wasn't Chandelier.

-Barney, Barney, Barney.

-Yeah.

Any idea what it was?

Yeah, Sing by Ed Sheeran.

SHOUTS: Yes.

Hope, that was fantastic, well done.

Give it up for Hope's team, ten points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'So after three rounds, Hope's team have 100 points,

'Kiera's team have 10 points.'

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

Which team were terrific at The Towers and which team will be

quickstepping to the Ball Room?

It's time to find out.

In today's challenge, one team scored 90 points.

Respectable. Respectable.

Oh, yeah.

And one team scored...

120 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

More respectable.

Yeah, we have added those scores to each team's total and that means the

team going through to the Copycats Ballroom

and playing for the trophy is...

Hope's team!

Which means we have to say goodbye

to Kiera's team.

Have you had a good time?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-You've been an absolutely brilliant team,

you really have. Give it up one more time for Kiera's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Cheers, guys. Right, congratulations Hope's team.

You did tremendously well.

Are you ready for one final challenge?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-Yes, you are.

That's good. Time to play the Ball Room.

Now, only one thing stands between you guys

owning a piece of TV history

and magic. It's the Copycats Trophy.

Look, I'm trying to make it not boingy-boing,

but it's really hard.

And that is the Ball Room.

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.'

-Ready. ALL:

-Yes!

In that case, three, two, one - blast the balls.

'So in the Ball Room, it's Hope's team represented by Mum, Anya,

'team captain Hope and brother Barney.

'Come on, guys. Oh, that's very good.

'We're off to a good start.

'20 blue balls in the scoring cylinder

'by the time the klaxon sounds, that is the aim.

'That's all we're asking of you.

'Come on. Not too many in there at the moment.

'We do have 27 seconds left, though.

'Come on, you can achieve a lot in that time!

'Come on, guys.

'You have to catch them, you can't pick them up off the floor.'

'There's another one, that's good. Well done, Barney.

'Barney's got the hang of it now.

'So has Anya by the look of it.

'And another one from Anya, excellent.'

'Have we got enough time to do this?

'Come on, quickly as you can.'

KLAXON SOUNDS

All right, the balls have been counted,

the results have been checked and verified.

You needed 20 blue balls to win this Copycats Trophy.

I can reveal that you collected...

..11 blue balls.

Unlucky. Commiserations, guys.

It is such a tough game, it really is.

So unfortunately you don't get your hands on the Copycats Trophy.

But this is going to cheer you up, though.

We're not going to send you home empty-handed -

we're going to give you some Copycats T-shirts.

-Have you enjoyed yourselves? ALL:

-Yeah.

Excellent, you've been a great team.

Give it up for Hope's team, everyone.

Yes, and see you next time on Copycats.

-BOTH:

-Bye.
