Episode 25 Copycats

Welcome to Copycats.

Today's Copycats are Lily's team from East Sussex

and Anya's team from Newcastle.

APPLAUSE

And here are your hosts, Sam and Mark.

APPLAUSE

BOTH: Hello and welcome to Copycats,

the game show where copying is good.

Our two teams go head to head to find out who are the best at copying

and the victorious team get a chance to play for the

all-singing, all-dancing, bingy-bongey beauty

that is the Copycats trophy!

APPLAUSE

I tell you what, I bet that looks good on the mantelpiece.

I hope so, cos it looks terrible there!

-Stop it!

-Sorry, sorry, sorry!

Let's meet the teams. Let's do it, let's do it.

-Lily, how are you?

-Fine, thanks.

-You're team captain?

-Yes.

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

This is my best friend, Keira, and her mum, Sam.

Then there is Brook's mum, Michelle, my dad John and my other best friend,

-Brook.

-Lovely. Are you all excited, team?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

-Good.

-Are you feeling confident? ALL:

-Yes!

John, are you sure?

-We'll win.

-That's what we like, a little bit of confidence.

Lily, is there anything you're a little bit worried about today?

Probably the miming round.

Oh, really? Why is that?

Just because we all like to have a laugh

and I think, if we don't take it seriously,

stuff might go a bit wrong.

But it will be funny for us to watch.

Well, the best of luck today. I have a good feeling about you guys.

Give it up for Lily's team, everyone!

CHEERING

Over here we've got Anya's team.

-Are you happy?

-ALL:

-Yes!

You're like, "Oh, don't ask me any questions, Mark."

It will be fine, I promise you.

Anya, team captain, introduce the rest of the gang, OK?

OK, this is Amy. She's my best friend.

Then there's my Uncle Paul, my dad, Richard, and other uncle, Michael,

and my little sister, Zara.

Looking like a good-looking boyband at the back, there, lads.

Looking good!

So, any weak links in your team?

Any weak links?

Richard, you're not supposed to put your hand up

when we say "weak link".

No, I'm sure it'll be absolutely fantastic.

Give it up one more time for Anya's team.

Brilliant. It's going to be good.

Right. It's time to get 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.

Don't forget the massive pile of points up for grabs when

our teams take on the Copycats Challenge.

-Who could forget that?

-Yeah.

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

And the winner of the coin toss was Anya's team.

They're up first. Let's play Copycats.

APPLAUSE

OK, Anya's team, are you ready to get arty?

It's time to play Quick On The Draw.

I've got three cards in my hand.

You're going to pick one of these cards,

then you're going to have ten seconds to draw whatever is

on that card for the player next to you

and then so on and so on down the line.

There is a maximum of 50 points up for grabs in this round

but you will lose 10 of those points for every incorrect answer

coming back down the line. Do you understand?

-ALL:

-Yep.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

-Let's close the doors.

OK, Anya, I've got three cards here - blue, green or pink.

-Which one would you like?

-The pink one, please.

-OK.

-Right.

-Yeah?

-Yeah.

Look confident. I like it.

The best of luck. Ready, steady, draw. Off you go.

Now it's your turn.

OK. Your turn.

Paul, your turn.

OK, Amy.

All right. Stop drawing!

APPLAUSE

Actually, very, very good copying all the way down the line,

but, for a maximum of 50 points, Michael,

what do you think Amy has drawn there?

I think it's a tea pot.

So close but we can't give it to you, I'm afraid.

Let's open the door for 40 points.

-Come on, Amy.

-Is it a kettle?

Yeah!

So close, mate, but I couldn't give it to you, I'm afraid.

But you got off to a fantastic start.

Anya's team get 40 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Right, Brook, we've got two cards left - green or blue.

-Can I have green, please?

-Of course you can. There you go.

-OK.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-Yes.

-OK. Best of luck.

You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, draw.

Now your turn.

OK. Lily, your turn!

OK, Keira.

John.

Time's up! Stop drawing.

OK! For a maximum of 50 points -

Samantha, what do you reckon the answer is?

-A cow?

-A tiny cow.

It's not, unfortunately.

So playing for 40 points -

John, take a look at Keira's drawing.

It's tremendous. Any idea?

A pig?

It's not a pig.

So we're playing for 30 points.

-Keira, any idea?

-Um.

A dog!

Aw, It's not a dog.

We're playing for 20 points.

Lily, come on, think about it.

Is it a mouse?

Yeah!

APPLAUSE

I've got to say, I think Brook's drawing is one of the best drawings.

I mean, the mouse has got no eyes, granted,

but look, that's a fantastic drawing, that.

Well done, guys. You get yourselves off the mark.

You get yourselves 20 points!

So, after Quick On The Draw, have Anya's team reached boiling point?

Or are Lily's team cheesed off after that round?

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

Well, Mark, after Quick On The Draw, Lily's team have 20 points,

and Anya's team have 40 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Our next round going to really make our teams work for their point.

It's a big test of their skills and nerve but also a lot of fun. Honest.

Welcome to the Copycats Challenge.

And because Anya's team won the toss,

they're first to face the challenge.

So, Lily's team, we want to keep this fair,

we don't want you to see what's in store,

so we're going to send you off. We'll see you later.

Have a nice rest. Put your feet up or summat.

-Have a quiche.

-Have a bath if you want!

-Yeah, not that...not that long.

-A shower or a bath. Just relax!

Guess what, guys? You are all in play for this challenge.

Shall we find out a bit more about it, Mr D?

What is it?

The Void. Players must follow an illuminated path across the Void.

If they step off the path or onto the Void,

they must go back to the start.

20 points are awarded for each player across

with a bonus 30 points if the whole team makes it.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Are you ready to cross The Void?

Anya's team are. Let's see what you are crossing today.

-AUDIENCE:

-Whoo!

Wow, it's a frozen forest!

Look at that. Magical.

Right, Zara, you're going first.

The best of luck.

On your marks, get set, go!

Here we go, then, leading the journey across the Void, Zara,

Anya's sister.

Moving along quite quickly, you know, and confidently.

Look at that. That is impressive!

20 points!

-Next one.

-This is Anya's best friend, Amy.

And, similarly, she completes

the task quite swiftly.

Another player across, another 20 points.

This is Richard.

Oh! Anya's dad.

Tread carefully. You mustn't step off the illuminated path, remember.

He's matching the girls' pace...

And it's working well. Excellent.

Now on we go to team captain Anya herself.

Very cool, very calm,

using her arms to balance...

..successfully so far.

Good!

It's going really well for Anya's team.

30 seconds left or so for Uncle Paul,

who's crossing the Void.

Cutting the corners a bit - you should really follow the path, Paul.

Being reminded of it by one of the team.

And he's at the end. Well done.

Let's see if we can't get Uncle Michael across the Void now.

There might just be time, you know.

Ten seconds left. Nice shoes.

And that's it! All six members across!

Wow! First time this series.

Yes!

Congratulations! That was amazing.

Just before the hooter sounded. We'll add those points

from the challenge to your points after the third and final round.

Remember, Lily'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 one more time - well done, Anya's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back to the game, Lily's team.

This is Mime Time. Now, at the top of the show, Lily,

you said this was the round you were most worried about.

-A little bit.

-Are you still worried?

-Not too bad any more.

-Good.

-Good, you've warmed up.

-Yeah.

-Good, that's what we want.

Well, Lily, here is how it works. I've got three cards in my hand.

You're going to pick one of these cards.

You will have ten seconds to mime

whatever is on that card to the player next to you,

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 ten points for every incorrect answer

coming back down the line.

The one rule in this round is that we're looking for

silent performances, please. No talking.

-Copycats, are you ready? ALL:

-Yes!

In that case, let's close the doors.

Right, Lily, three cards - blue, pink or green?

-Can I have the pink, please?

-Of course you can. Take a look.

-Reckon you can mime that?

-Yeah.

Awesome. You've got ten seconds. Right, ready, steady, mime.

OK, Brook. Your turn.

Keira.

All right, John, your turn.

Samantha.

Time is up. Stop miming!

Really good miming down the line.

I've got a good feeling about this, Michelle. What is it for 50 points?

-Is it blowing bubbles?

-Yeah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Congratulations at the end of Mime Time.

You get the full 50 points!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Anya. Two cards left - blue or green.

-Which one do you want?

-Blue, please.

-She's going for blue.

-She's right in there.

-OK.

-Do you reckon you can do that?

-Yeah.

OK, the best of luck.

Ready, steady, mime.

Off you go!

OK, Michael, your turn. Off you go.

OK, Amy.

Richard, your turn.

Finally, Zara.

OK. Stop miming.

Interesting. For a maximum of 50 points, what's the answer?

I think I'm going to go with putting make-up on.

It is not putting make-up on, unfortunately.

For 40 points, Zara, any idea?

Shaving.

You're absolutely right!

APPLAUSE

Yeah! That was fantastic.

You get 40 points. Well done.

Round of applause. Brilliant.

Lovely.

So, after Mime Time, will Lily's team be blown away in the Ball Room,

or was that a "beardiful" performance from Anya's team!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

Let's check out the scores, Mr D. What could they be?

Oh, Mark! Well, Sam, after Mime Time,

Lily's team have 70 points, Anya's team have 80 points.

-Close, ain't it?

-Very close.

Right, the next round could be crucial.

It's time for Lily's team to take on the mighty Copycats Challenge.

Lily's team, this is your chance

to add some crucial points to your overall score.

-Are you ready? ALL:

-Yes.

They are so ready. And, Anya's team,

time for you to head over to the studio and have a rest.

We'll see you later. Bye.

See you later. Get some chicken or something.

-Protein, innit?

-Yeah.

-Protein.

Right, news flash, Lily's team.

All of you are taking part in this challenge.

Let's see what it is. Mr Dr, what could it be? Do it again.

The Void. As before, players need to follow an illuminated path

across the Void without stepping off.

20 points are scored for each player across.

Good luck.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, team, let's see what you'll be crossing today.

-ALL:

-Ooh!

It's a winter wonderland!

Best of luck, guys. Keira, are you going first?

-Yes.

-Here we go - in three, two, one, go!

Lily's best friend Keira is first up to cross the Void.

You can see the path in red,

you can see Keira not rushing it.

Sure-footed, though.

Go on, Keira. She's almost there.

Brilliant.

Good start, that.

Brook, Lily's other best friend here.

There's the path for you, Brook.

Carefully does it.

Keep on the red path.

-And she's got the hang of it now. That's good.

-Nice work. OK.

Next up.

There we go. There we go.

This is team captain Lily.

Ooh!

A bit shaky there.

But not for long.

She's getting on with it now.

Gently does it, especially round the corners. They're the tricky bits.

There we are. Almost home.

Brilliant.

Nice one. OK, next one.

On we go, then, to Michelle. This is Brook's mum.

-Oh, speed!

-Going quite quickly!

Tread carefully.

Around the corner.

Oh, no, you put your foot on the wrong bit there.

Oh, never mind!

Let's try Lily's mum. This is Samantha.

Round you go. Take your time.

15 seconds left.

Oh, and a foot in the Void.

Come on, next one.

Come on, ten seconds left.

Come on, quickly as you can.

He's doing all right, though!

Look at that - brilliant.

-Time's up, though.

-Time's up!

Come on over, guys. It is tricky, that, but nice work, John,

getting that last one there. Fantastic.

We will add those challenge points to your total after the third

and final round and find out which of our teams have earned their

place in the Copycats Ball Room.

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

APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Anya's team. This is the Music Round.

Michael, all you have to do is pick a well-known tune and recreate that

tune to the player next to you, which is Amy,

on the world-famous Copycats kazoo.

Let's have a look at your kazoos.

Fantastic. There are 50 points up for grabs in this round.

As always, you will lose ten of those points

for every incorrect answer coming back down the line.

Now, could everyone except Michael put your headphones on?

So you don't hear which song is being selected.

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

Michael, I don't think I've ever seen anyone so nervous.

-Are you all right?

-I'm all right.

-I'm fine.

-Fantastic. OK, we have green, pink or blue.

-Which one would you like?

-We'll have pink.

OK. Have a look at that.

-Do you know that one?

-Yes.

-Well, that is a start.

We are going to play it into the studio,

so you can get the melody into your head.

Let's have a listen.

# I would walk 500 miles

# And I would walk 500 more

# To be the man to walk 1,000 miles to fall down at your door... #

-I bet they got sore feet, them lads.

-Yes.

-Best of luck.

Ready, steady, play. Off you go.

HE PLAYS MELODY ON KAZOO

OK, Amy. Your turn.

SHE PLAYS MELODY ON KAZOO

OK, Zara, your turn.

SHE PLAYS MELODY ON KAZOO

OK, your turn.

HE PLAYS MELODY ON KAZOO

OK, Paul. Your turn.

HE PLAYS MELODY ON KAZOO

All right! Stop playing!

Love that. Love that.

OK. For 50 points, Anya, what's the answer?

I Will Walk 500 Miles.

Ha-ha-ha!

Wow!

I'm not going to lie...

I didn't expect you to get that!

Well done! You get the maximum 50 points, yeah!

All right, Lily. Two cards left, blue or green?

-Green, please.

-Take a look.

-Do you know that song?

-Yeah.

-Awesome.

We are going to play it into the studio as well so you can get it

into your head. Let's hear it.

# I keep going to the river to pray

# Cos I need

# Something that can wash off the pain... #

Best of luck, Lily. You've got ten seconds. Ready, steady, play!

SHE PLAYS MELODY ON KAZOO

Nice!

SHE PLAYS MELODY ON KAZOO

Nice. Michelle.

SHE PLAYS MELODY ON KAZOO

Very good. John.

HE PLAYS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT MELODY

OK. Keira.

SHE REPEATS LAST MELODY ON KAZOO

Time's up! Stop playing!

-I have no idea!

-It was going so well.

-It was going so well.

-Till we got to John.

Granted, yeah.

Samantha, for a maximum of 50 points, any idea?

Um, Sorry, by Justin Bieber?

It's not Sorry by Justin Bieber.

We're playing for 40 points, Keira.

I have no clue.

What did it sound like? Not that that will help in any way!

I Can't Feel My Face.

By The Weeknd. It's not.

So we're playing for 30 points.

John, I've got to say, Michelle did a fantastic job but, John,

for 30 points, any idea?

One Direction.

Any One Direction song?

Do you know what? I'm not even going to ask you to name a song,

because it's not! Which means we're playing for 20 points.

Michelle, I think you've heard this song.

-I think.

-Do you know the title?

Is it Ghost, by...?

APPLAUSE

Brilliant. Nice work. You were great there.

Well done, guys.

You were all great until it got to John.

-Sorry, John.

-What was that?

-Sorry, John.

-What was that?

Hey, but well done.

Getting any points in the music round is to be applauded.

You get yourselves 20 points. Nice work.

So, after three rounds,

Lily's team have 90 points and Anya's team have 130 points.

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

Which team avoided the Void

and which team are getting ready to rumba in the Ball Room.

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

-..80 points.

-Very good.

One team scored the maximum, 150 points!

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...

..Anya's team.

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

Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-ALL:

-Yeah.

-Oh, you've been lovely.

And do you know what, John?

There's not many people can pull off double denim.

-He can. He can.

-You certainly can.

No, you've been awesome. Give it up for Lily's team, everyone!

See you later, guys. Thank you. Bye!

Oh! Oh, well done.

Well done, Anya's team.

Great copying so far. You up for one more challenge?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

-Of course you are.

All right, let's go to the Ball Room.

-Why?

-Cos that's the final challenge.

-Oh, OK.

Right, guys, you've come this far,

but can you go all the way and get your hands on this bad boy?

The Copycats Trophy.

-ALL:

-Whoo!

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

Before we open the doors and let you in,

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

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.

-Are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

The best of luck.

Good luck, guys. In three, two, one, blast the balls!

Here we go, then. It's Paul, Anya and Michael.

Michael's caught one already, look. Wow!

Look at this.

These three really mean business.

20 blue balls in that scoring cylinder is the aim.

Don't forget, guys, balls of any other colour will be deducted.

Quickly as you can.

Michael is shouting something or other.

I can't quite make out what it is but they seem to be doing well.

It's working, whatever it is.

Arms are flying everywhere.

Come on.

Very soon we shall find out how they've got on, these guys.

There we are. That's brilliant. That's Paul.

Wow, look at this.

They're all putting them in now.

This is really good news. One after the other.

25 seconds. Come on.

There's another one!

Well done, Anya.

And two there from Michael.

And one from Paul.

"We're doing well."

You're absolutely right, Michael, you are.

Time is almost up.

Let's see how many you've got.

HORN BLARES

APPLAUSE

Right, the balls have been counted.

The result has been checked and verified.

You needed 20 blue balls to win this trophy.

-Good luck, guys.

-So wobbly.

I can reveal that you collected...

41 blue balls!

CHEERING

You absolutely smashed it.

I feel as though we should give you two - we're not!

But you did brilliantly there.

41! Are you having a laugh?

That's got to be some kind of European record.

It's amazing is what it is. You know what else is amazing?

We're going to throw in some Copycats T-shirts as well.

And, Paul, is it true that you've come off your holiday

-just to be here today?

-That is true.

I fly back to Tenerife tomorrow morning.

Oh! With a Copycats trophy and a Copycats T-shirt.

-We're going international, people! We'll see you next time. Bye.

-Bye!
