Episode 3 Copycats

Welcome to Copycats.

Today's Copycats are...

April's team from Falkirk

and Sylvan's team from North Yorkshire.

And here are your hosts, Sam and Mark.

Hello! Welcome to Copycats, the game show where copying is good.

If Copycats was a maths problem, it would look something like this -

copying + games x 3 ¸ 2 teams = lots of fun.

And add a Copycats Challenge, then subtract one team

and one Ball Room

and, hopefully, the solution at the end of the show is one of these -

the prize for quality copying, the one, the only, Copycats trophy!

CHEERING

-That's "sum" trophy. "Sum" trophy.

-You've ruined it.

-Let's meet the teams.

-OK, let's do it.

-Over here we've got April. How are you?

-Good.

-Excellent.

-You're team captain?

-Yeah.

-Lovely.

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

-I'm April.

This is my friend Iana. This is my mum's friend Gillian.

Behind me is my fabulous mum.

Over on the other side of me is Fiona and she is Anya

and Iana's fabulous mum.

And this is Anya, my other friend from dancing.

-So, I'm guessing you're all fabulous.

-Well...

Give it up for April's team, everyone.

APPLAUSE

Over here we've got Sylvan's team, yeah!

-How are you doing?

-I'm doing good.

-Fantastic.

-You're team captain, Sylvan.

-Yeah, I am.

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

OK, I'm Sylvan, this is my friend Ethan,

this is my dad, Wesley,

this is my mum, Nova,

this is my big, big cousin Matthew

and this is my other friend from school, Nicole.

Well, the best of luck, guys. It's fantastic to have you here.

Sylvan's team, everyone, give them a round of applause.

Brilliant.

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.

And don't forget that our teams will both get

a shot at the Copycats Challenge a bit later on.

There's loads of points to win doing that.

There is. But before the show,

we tossed a coin to decide which team would go first.

And the winner of the coin toss was...

Sylvan's team, so they're up first. Let's play Copycats.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

Because it's time to play Quick On The Draw.

Nova, 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 draw whatever is on that

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

and then so on and so on down the line.

There's a maximum of 50 points to be won in this round but you will

lose ten points for every incorrect answer coming back down the line.

But that's not going to happen, is it?

We're going to get the full 50, aren't we? Yes!

-Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL: Yes!

-Let's close the doors.

Oh, that was a nice little wave, Nova. "Bye, everyone!"

OK, we've got three cards here. We've got pink, green or blue.

Which one would you like?

Green, OK.

-Do you reckon you can draw that?

-Yes.

OK. Well, the best of luck.

Ready, steady, draw. Off you go.

OK, Nicole, your turn.

Right, your turn.

Sylvan, off you go.

OK.

-Time to spare!

-APPLAUSE

OK.

For a maximum of 50 points,

any idea what Wesley was supposed to be drawing there?

A worm?

It certainly looks like a worm

but that is not the answer we're looking for, unfortunately.

Let's open the door. Wesley.

Is this a staircase? The start of one?

Oh, yeah, I see where you're going. It's not, unfortunately, mate.

Let's open the door. OK, Sylvan, any idea what Ethan has drawn?

-Think about it.

-Erm, a snake?

-It's not a snake.

-Let's open the door. Ethan.

-Is it a whale?

It's another good guess, but it's not a whale.

Nicole, for a minimum of ten points - that is a good drawing...

-Is it a banana?

-Yeah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

I love the fact you put a face on a banana. That is brilliant.

Congratulations, you get yourselves off the mark.

You've got ten points, well done. Nice one.

Right, Hazel, we've got two cards left - blue or pink.

-Pink, please.

-Take a look.

-OK...

-Reckon you can draw that?

-No.

-Aww...

-Yeah, I'll give it a go.

Give it a go. Best of luck. You've got ten seconds.

Ready, steady, draw.

OK.

OK.

It's your turn.

FIONA LAUGHS

I'm sorry, Gillian!

-Sorry!

-Time is up. Stop drawing. Right.

Difficult one.

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

-I would take a guess...

-Yep.

-..that it's mountain climbers.

-It does look like that.

-Can you see?

It does, but that's not the answer, so we're playing for 40 points.

Fiona, what do you reckon?

FIONA LAUGHS

Jelly...

-..with sprinkles on the top.

-Jelly with sprinkles on the top.

Definitely not that. We're playing for 30 points.

-Anya, what do you reckon?

-Are they on a trampoline?

Ah, I see where you're going.

It's not, unfortunately, which means we're playing for 20 points.

-People stuck up a hill shouting for help?

-Ha-ha!

It's not people stuck up a hill shouting for help.

So, we're playing for the minimum of ten points.

-This is a really good drawing, actually, in ten seconds...

-Thanks.

-Is it like a wedding cake?

-Yeah!

It's not like a wedding cake, it IS a wedding cake!

Well done, guys, you get ten points. Nice work.

So, after Quick On The Draw, have Sylvan's team

slipped on a banana skin or have April's team got cake on their face?

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

Well, Sam, after Quick On The Draw, April's team have ten points

and Sylvan's team also have ten points.

So, 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.

Oh, yeah, and because Sylvan's team won the toss,

they are first to face the challenge.

Now, April's team, so that you don't get a sneaky peek

of what's in store and more importantly how many points these

guys get in this challenge, we're going to send you out of the studio.

-But you will be back later on - see you later, guys.

-Bye!

-Bye.

-Have a nice rest.

-Lovely.

Now, Sylvan, as team captain, you now need to pick one -

only one player to face the daunting Copycats Challenge.

But before you do, let's find out what that challenge is.

Mr D, what is it, mate?

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.

Three, two, one, go.

So, just one player involved in this sequence

and it's Cousin Matthew.

So, he's remembered the sequence so far.

A couple of routines under his belt.

Three now.

He's quite calm, cool about this, isn't he? Very good.

Sylvan's happy.

Adding a colour each time, look.

Yes, very confident about this.

Would you be able to do this?

We add another colour there. Excellent.

So we're starting now sequence number six.

Let's see if he collects this one, as well.

He does!

Wow.

Which colour do we add? Yeah.

Absolutely, Mark.

Look how quickly he does this!

Now, watch carefully.

He looks at them, look. He anticipates them. Watch his eyes.

Brilliant!

Now, can he repeat it again for sequence number eight?

15 seconds to go.

Excellent! Can we do one more? Let's see if we can.

Might just have time.

Add one more colour again. Will he be able to remember it?

-HORN HONKS

-Oh, mate!

Wow, come out, come here.

I've just got to cuddle you because you're so...

-That was brilliant, wasn't it?

-Fantastic.

It was like you were a robot! It was amazing.

Oh, well done, Matthew, fantastic.

We'll add those points from the challenge to your total

after the third and final round.

So, let's hear it for Sylvan's team, and especially Matthew!

Well done, buddy, that's amazing!

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

-Yes.

-There are three cards here for you to choose from.

You're going to pick one of these cards.

You're going to have ten seconds to mime

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

That person will then mime that action to the player next

to them and so on and so on down the line.

As always, there's 50 points up for grabs, 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.

-Copycats, are you ready? ALL:

-Yes!

Awesome. Let's close the doors.

Right, then, Gillian, which card? Pink, blue or green.

-I'll take the pink one.

-Take a look.

-OK.

-Yeah? Reckon you can do that?

-Yeah.

-Awesome. Best of luck.

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

Anya, your turn.

Yeah. Fiona.

Ha-ha!

Hazel, your turn.

Time is up, stop miming. Very good miming down the line.

April, for 50 points, what's the answer?

-Putting on deodorant?

-Yay!

Awesome stuff, guys.

-Hey, April, nice work, putting Gillian in first.

-Gillian!

Fantastic miming all the way down the line, actually.

You get yourselves the full 50 points!

APPLAUSE

-Sylvan, blue or green, mate?

-Blue.

-OK, have a look at that.

-Do you reckon you can do that?

-Yeah.

-Best of luck, buddy.

Ready, steady, mime. Off you go.

OK, Wesley, your turn.

Nicole, your turn.

Nova, your turn.

OK, Ethan, your turn.

OK, stop miming.

-APPLAUSE

-Interesting.

For a maximum of 50 points, Matthew.

Is it playing tennis?

It is not playing TENNIS...

Let's open the door. For 40 points.

Erm, was it playing cricket?

It's not playing cricket.

Let's open the door. For 30 points.

Rounders?

It's not rounders!

-Let's open the door. Nicole...

-Was it building?

It's not building.

Ah!

Wesley, any idea?

-Was it ping pong?

-Yes!

APPLAUSE

Ping pong, table tennis.

You get ten points, well done. Well done.

So, after Mime Time, are April's team feeling

fresh for The Ball Room or have Sylvan's team dropped the ball?

It's time to check out the scores. Mr D, what could they be?

Well, Mark, after Mime Time, April's team have 60 points

and Sylvan's team have 20 points.

Right, the next round could be crucial.

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

So, April's team, this is your chance to add some crucial points

-to your overall score. Are you ready? ALL:

-Yes!

-You look ready!

They really do, and, Sylvan's team, we're going to say ta-ta for now.

-Bye!

-See you later. Good times. Right, April, as team captain,

you now have to select one person to take on this Copycats Challenge.

-Do you want to find out what it is?

-Yes.

-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!

Three, two, one, go.

Here we go, then.

Falls to Hazel, April's mum, to perform the task.

So far, so good. We have one sequence. Two sequences now.

Will she remember?

What colour are we adding? Yes, she has.

Three sequences under her belt.

She's looking at them as they appear,

then you have to repeat them.

Excellent.

All smiles, the family.

That's it. Well done.

One more colour. That is it.

Yes.

So we have five sequences remembered.

You're almost memorising the shape, the position of these lights,

aren't you?

Excellent.

30 seconds left.

Of course, as time goes on, it gets more difficult.

So far she's done well, let's see how she gets on with this one.

This is sequence number seven.

Has she remembered it? Yes, she has, is the answer.

Now, 15 seconds to go. Come on.

We've got to get this right as quickly as possible.

Time's running out, Hazel, come on!

Quickly as you can, repeat that sequence!

You've only got a few seconds left!

Oh, Hazel!

Time's up!

HORN HONKS AUDIENCE: Aww...

Oh, a round of applause! Round of applause.

Come on round, guys, come on round.

Nice work, April, putting your mum there on that challenge.

That was fantastic.

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 April's team, but more importantly, Hazel. Nice work!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Sylvan's team. This is The Music Round.

Sylvan, all you need to do is pick a well-known tune then recreate

that tune to the player next to you, which is Ethan,

on the world-famous Copycats kazoo. Let's have a look at your kazoos.

There we go.

Right, there are 50 points up for grabs in this round but you will

lose ten points for every incorrect answer coming back down the line.

Now, could everybody except for Sylvan now put your headphones on?

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

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

All right, team captain Sylvan. I've got pink, green or blue. Which one?

OK, have a look at that.

-Do you know that one?

-Yeah.

-Brilliant.

We are going to play it into the studio

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

# You watch me bleed until I can't breathe

# Shaking, falling onto my knees

# And now that I'm without your kisses

# I'll be needing stitches... #

Best of luck, buddy. Ready, steady, play. Off you go.

OK, Ethan.

Not bad at all. OK, Matthew.

Ooh, ahh...

OK, Nicole.

OK! Good luck, Nova. Off you go, go on.

OK, stop playing.

I just love it, I love it, the fact that it just starts so lovely

and ends up terrible.

OK, for a maximum of 50 points, Wesley,

what's the answer we're looking for?

Was that Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen?

The kazoo version - I'd love to hear that! Unfortunately, it isn't.

Let's open the door. For 40 points, Nova.

Justin Bieber, Love Yourself?

It is not Love Yourself, Justin Bieber. Let's open the door.

For 30 points, Nicole, do you have any idea?

Gold On The Ceiling?

It is not. Let's open the door.

For 20 points, Matthew.

-Is it Summer by Calvin Harris?

-It is not, unfortunately.

Let's open the door. Ethan, for ten points.

Sylvan did a good job - it is tough.

-Dire Straits.

-Dire Straits?

Great band, but it's not, unfortunately. Sylvan, what is it?

It was Stitches by Shawn Mendes.

You did a great version. Have a listen.

# You watch me bleed until I can't breathe

# Shaking, falling onto my knees... #

Yeah, you didn't get the benefit, Wesley, at the end,

but he did a great job, he really did.

Unfortunately, you don't get any points but give him

a round of applause, anyway.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Right, April, we've got two cards left. Green or blue?

-Blue, please.

-Take a look.

-Do you know that song?

-Mm-hmm.

-Awesome.

We're going to play it into the studio as well

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

# How deep is your love?

# How deep is your love? #

OK, best of luck, April. You've got ten seconds. Ready, steady, play.

Very good.

Your turn, Gillian.

Time's up, stop playing.

Right, Fiona, for 50 points,

-what's the name of the song we are looking for?

-Erm, Flashlight.

-Flashlight by Jessie J?

-Yeah.

-It's not, unfortunately.

For 40 points, Anya.

Erm...

-Sax?

-Sax by Fleur East? It's not.

So, we're playing for 30 points. Gillian.

-Shut Up And Dance?

-It's not Shut Up And Dance.

-Iana.

-Erm, The Secret Love Song?

It's not. We're playing for the minimum of ten points, Hazel.

Poker Face?

Oh, it wasn't Poker Face. Go on, April.

How Deep Is Your Love.

By Calvin Harris - let's hear it.

# How deep is your love?

# How deep is your love? #

Oh, that was a difficult one, but do you know want?

Not many people get points in the music round.

But give them a round of applause, anyway.

No points, unfortunately, but as always, very entertaining.

So, after three rounds, April's team have 60 points

and Sylvan's team have 20 points.

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

Which team beat The Sequence

and which team are grooving their way to The Ball Room?

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

AUDIENCE: Oooh!

I know!

And one team scored 120 points!

AUDIENCE: Oooh!

We have added those scores to each team's total.

The team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..April's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Which means we've got to say bye to the brilliant Sylvan's team.

-Have you had a good time?

-Yeah.

-You have been absolutely brilliant.

Give it up for Sylvan's team, everyone.

-Thanks, guys.

-Nice one.

-See you later.

Well done, April's team! Nice work.

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

-Yes!

Fantastic. It's time to play The Ball Room.

APPLAUSE

Here we go, team.

There is only one more thing you need to do

-to get your hands on this rare and wonderful object...

-Me?

-Not you.

-Oh.

..the Copycats Trophy. Do you want to touch it?

-Stop it!

-Get off!

Before we open the doors and let you in,

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

Ha!

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!

Three, two, one, blast the balls!

Left to right, then, it's April's mum's friend Gillian,

April herself and Anya.

You haven't got long, guys, come on. Quick as you can.

Oh, look, this is good.

Four in there, that's good. Keep adding them.

We need lots of balls.

We need 20 blue balls inside the scoring cylinder

in the next few seconds. Quickly as you can.

Come on, girls, catch those blue balls.

Just under 30 seconds, look.

There we go, that's a few more in there.

Excellent.

They all count.

Quickly as you can.

Another one going in there. Excellent.

Nothing going in there for a moment.

There's another one, and another.

Excellent.

You need as many as you can in there. Quickly.

We are running out of time, girls, come on!

Oh, as quickly as you can!

Time is up.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, team, this is the moment of truth.

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...

-..17!

-Oh, no!

So close! Oh, you did so well. Oh, I'm so sorry.

I know, so sorry, guys, that means, sadly, you don't

get your hands on the Copycats Trophy.

But we are going to give you some T-shirts

so you can remember the day, is that all right?

And they're Copycats T-shirts, not just plain T-shirts.

They've got Copycats written on them.

-Yeah, man! Awesome.

-Wow.

-Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-ALL:

-Yes.

-You've been fantastic.

Give it up one more time for April's team, everyone.

APPLAUSE

-It's been a good show, that.

-Shame they didn't win it.

-Yeah, we'll see you next time on Copycats.

-Bye!
