Episode 5 Copycats

'Welcome to Copycats.'

'Today's Copycats are Erna's team from South East London

'and Mac's team from Northumberland.'

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

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

BOTH: Hello!

And welcome to Copycats, the game show where copying is good.

As always, our teams are going to be battling it out to get

their hands on the super-brushed, metal-effect Copycats trophy.

CHEERING

But to get anywhere near such a thing of sculpted beauty,

we are going to need them to show off their best drawing,

acting and kazooing skills.

The team with the most points after

all of that is going straight to the Ball Room.

-Speaking of the teams, shall we say hello?

-Ooh, yeah.

-Let's do it!

APPLAUSE

-Erna, team captain. How are you?

-I'm good, thank you.

Excellent. Well, it's lovely to have you here.

-Would you like to introduce the rest of your team?

-OK.

Here I've got Maddie, my best friend.

Here I've got my brother, Eric,

-my cousin, Harry, my dad, Richard and my mum, Kate.

-Lovely.

It is lovely to have you all here. Are you excited, team?

-ALL:

-Yes!

Oh, yes. Give it up for Erna's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

And over here we've got Mac's team.

Mac, team captain, how are you doing, pal, are you all right?

-Yeah, good.

-Fantastic.

-Could you introduce the rest of the team, please?

-Yeah.

This is, these are my best friends, Ben and Thomas.

This is my dad, Kenny.

This is my mum, Fiona and that's my godmother, Wendy.

Well, it's lovely to have you here. Are you excited to be here?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

All right, yeah. Well, best of luck.

Give it up for Mac's team, everyone.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, let's get on with the show.

It's not called Copycats for nothing, you know.

Each round gets our teams displaying their artistic, dramatic

and musical talents as they try and pass the answer down the line.

But not only that,

they will also face the one and only Copycats Challenge.

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

Before the show we tossed a coin to decide which team was going first.

You'll never guess what? Mac's team won it. So let's play Copycats!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Mac's team.

It is time to put your drawing skills to the test

because we are about to play Quick On The Draw.

Mac, you are going to pick one of these three cards.

You are then going to have ten seconds to draw whatever

is on that card for the player next to you, which is Fiona,

and then so on and so on down the line.

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

but as we pass it back down the line,

you will lose ten points for every incorrect answer. Do you understand?

-Yeah.

-Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

Let's close the doors.

OK, team captain Mac. Which one would you like? Pink, blue or green?

-Erm... Blue, please.

-You can have a look at that.

Do you reckon you can draw that?

-Yeah.

-Brilliant.

All right, Mac, I like that.

The best of luck to you.

Ready, steady, draw! OK.

OK, Fiona, your turn.

Oh, time to spare! All right, Wendy, your turn.

OK, Thomas.

OK, Benjamin, your turn.

OK, stop drawing!

Right, I've got to say, very good copying down the line, but for a

maximum of 50 points, any idea what Benjamin was drawing there?

A jellyfish.

-SHOUTS:

-Yeah!

Yes!

Look at that down the line, that's brilliant!

Congratulations, Mac's team. You get the maximum,

50 points. Well done.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Well done, buddy. Yes!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Richard, you look like you work out.

-Yes.

How much do you bench? About 50?

-50 kilos?

-Um... With a bar, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah? Yeah, about 51, me, mate.

LAUGHTER

-Anyway, Richard!

-Yay!

-We've got two cards left, green or pink?

-I'll have pink.

Pink, take a look.

Do you reckon you can draw that?

I reckon so.

Yes, I like the confidence.

Come on, Richard. You can do this.

Ready, steady, draw!

Great going. Go for it!

Nice. Maddie, go for it.

Great.

Erna, off then.

Time's up. Stop drawing. OK.

Really good, really good drawing down the line.

Eric, for a maximum of 50 points, what do you think that is?

-The Tower Bridge.

-Nice thinking.

It's not, unfortunately, which means we're playing for 40 points.

Erna, what do you reckon?

Is it a tent?

SHOUTS: Yay!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That's a great drawing, that. All the way down the line,

that is great. Nice work.

That is a fantastic start.

You get yourselves 40 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

got a sting in their tail?

Or are Erna's team already setting up camp in the Ball Room?

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

'I'm glad you asked, Sam!

'After Quick On The Draw,

'Erna's team have 40 points

'and Mac's team have 50 points.'

APPLAUSE

Right, now we are really putting our teams' nerves

and their copying abilities to the test.

This is the Copycats Challenge.

And because Mac's team won the toss,

they are first to face the challenge.

So, Erna's team, we need you to leave.

-See you later.

-See you later, guys.

Richard, go and work out or something. See you later, buddy.

OK, now, Mac, as team captain, you now need to select four people

to face the spectacular Copycats Challenge,

but before you do, we need to find out

what the challenge is. Mr D, tell us, will you?

'The Equaliser.

'Players must move blocks between towers

'to copy the pattern shown on screen.

'But they can only pass one block at a time.

'30 points are scored

'for each correctly copied pattern.'

-Are you ready to play?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

Yes, all right, the best of luck.

Three, two, one, go! Come on.

'So it's The Equaliser with Wendy, Mac, the team captain,

'Kenny and Benjamin. Have they got the right number of blocks?

'Let's find out, shall we?

'Yes, they have!

'So we have our first pattern.

'Next.

'Now they redistribute these blocks to have the

'right number in front of each of them.

'When they think they've got the right number,

'they'll put their hands up.

'So Wendy's finished.'

That's it, keep going.

'So it's the other three now,

'to make sure they've got the right number.

'We're moving them around.

'Help from the rest of the team as well.

'Is that right? Let's find out.

-'Yes, it is.'

-OK, brilliant!

'So that's their second pattern.

'They are only allowed to move one block at a time. You can't...

'..grab a whole bunch of them.

'Just one at a time to make sure

'they're in the right place,

'according to the pattern on the floor

'and on the screen behind them.

'Again, Wendy's finished.

'But the others are just sorting themselves out,

'redistributing those blocks into the right place.

'Wendy's checking, Wendy's checking.

'Has she got the right number?

'30 seconds to go, guys.

'Come on, you've only got two at the moment.'

-OK, arms up.

-'Try that.

'Yes, success.

'Let's try for another one. 20 seconds to go. Come on.'

Quick! Come on!

'Move those blocks around.

-'There they go.'

-Wendy. Wendy!

MR D CHUCKLES

'We're almost there. Try that pattern.

'Yes, that succeeded.

'Still a few seconds left, have a go, go on.

'Move those blocks around.

-KLAXON BLARES

-'Time is up.'

All right, well done, guys. Come out of there.

All right, we'll add those points from the challenge

to your total after the third round.

Remember, Erna's team still have to play

and the scores from the Copycats Challenge

can make all the difference in deciding which team

goes to the Ball Room.

Let's hear it one more time for Mac's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Really good, that.

Welcome back to the game, Erna's team. Let's play Fame Game.

Now, Harry, I have got three cards in my hand.

You're going to pick one of these cards.

You're going to have ten seconds

to perform a silent impression of whichever character or famous person

is on this card to the person next to you,

who will then copy it all the way down the line.

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

You will lose ten of those points for every incorrect answer

coming back down the line. You know the score.

-Copycats, are you ready? ALL:

-Yeah!

-Yeah.

In that case, let's close the doors.

Right, then, Harry. Here we go. We've got green, blue or pink.

Ooh! Um... Ooh!

-IMITATES: Ooh!

-Lovely!

-I say!

-Blue.

-Take a look.

-OK.

-Reckon you can do a good

impression?

-Such a good impression.

-Oh, really?

LAUGHS: I like the confidence.

Best of luck, you've got ten seconds.

Remember, silent performance.

Here we go. Ready, steady, mime!

Really good. Maddie, your turn.

SHE GIGGLES

Erna.

Eric, your turn.

LAUGHTER

Richard, your turn.

LAUGHTER

Time's up.

Oh, dear. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.

Kate, for a maximum of 50 points,

what do you reckon Richard was impersonating?

Was he doing Beyonce?

SHOUTS: Yes, he was doing Beyonce!

THEY SCREAM AND CHEER

She's my favourite!

I'm sorry! Harry, Harry, I know she's your favourite

and you did a fantastic job

but no-one on the rest of the team did a fantastic job.

-It's the Beyonce love.

-Wow!

That was absolutely incredible.

-Got it.

-You get yourselves the

full 50 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, Kenny. We've got two colours left. We've got pink or green.

-Which one would you like?

-It'd be pink.

Aw, have a look, mate.

-OK.

-Do you reckon you can do that?

-I'll give it a go.

-Excellent.

-It's all we ask of you, Kenny.

-OK.

The best of luck. Ready, steady, mime.

OK, Mac, your turn.

Thomas, your turn.

OK, Wendy, your turn.

Fiona, your turn.

OK. Stop miming. Very good down the line.

For a maximum of 50 points, who was Fiona impersonating there?

Usain Bolt.

-SHOUTS:

-Give me five, Benjamin.

All right.

Brilliant. It's just so iconic, isn't it?

Fantastic, well done.

You get the full 50 points. Well done.

Well done, Mac's team.

So, after the Fame Game, they liked it so they copied it,

but can Erna's team keep that going all the way to the Ball Room?

Or are Mac's team going for gold?

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

'Well, Sam, after the Fame Game,

'Erna's team have 90 points,

'and Mac's team have 100 points.'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Has that ever happened on Copycats?

-I don't think so, I don't think so.

It's time to see how Erna's team cope with

the pressure as they face the Copycats Challenge.

Yes, Erna's team, this could be your chance to add some serious

points to your overall score. Are you ready for it?

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Oh, yeah!

Oh, they look ready. And Mac's team,

it's time for you to have a little sit-down and a chillax.

-See you later, off you go.

-Bye!

-Bye!

Wave goodbye to them.

Right, Erna. You now have to select four people

to take on this challenge,

but before you do that, let's see what's in store.

Mr D, what could it be?

'The Equaliser.

'As before, players must move blocks

'one at a time between the towers

'to copy the pattern shown on screen.

'30 points are scored for each correctly copied pattern.'

In three, two, one, go!

'Here we go then. They spring into action.

'Eric, Kate, Richard and Harry.'

Four in Eric's column.

'Come on. Words of advice from Erna.

'Let's see if this is right.

'Yes, it is.

'We are off to a good start.

'Now we have to move those blocks around

'to copy the patterns on the screen behind them.

-'They see the pattern on the floor in front of them.'

-One for me!

'There we are.

'We are almost there by the look of it. Let's see if this is right.'

-Well done, well done.

-'It is!'

-Next one.

-'That's two.

'Two patterns, 60 points.

'On we go.'

-Three, Harry, to give to Richard.

-How many?

I'm going, I'm going, I'm going.

'Plenty of advice from Erna.

'Perhaps she should be playing this game.

-'She knows what to do.'

-How many?

-Is that us?

'Eric's asking how many he needs.

'Let's see if he's got the right number.

'Now... Yes, he has!

'Brilliant, well done, Eric.

'Here we go then, on to the next one.'

Harry needs six!

'Another 30 seconds.

'Not long to go. Move those blocks around! Come on.'

-And one off you.

-I need one more.

'They have to count how many in front of them.'

Do you need one...?

'Eric parts with one. Oh, and Eric gets one back.

-MR D LAUGHS

-'Ten seconds.'

-One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.

-'Count them up.'

-One, two, three, four, five, six...

-'Well done Kate, try it.

'Is it right?

-'Yes, it is!'

-Nice.

-'Well done, and time is up.'

-KLAXON BLARES

Time's up!

Well done, guys. Round of applause.

-Come on down, guys. Come on down. That was really good.

-Thanks.

Great talking with each other there. I really enjoyed that. Nice work.

We will add those challenge points to your total after

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

their place in the Copycats Ball Room.

Let's hear it for Erna's team, everyone. Well done.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

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

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

and then play that for the person next to you in the line,

which is team captain Mac, and it goes all the way down the line.

50 points are up for grabs in this round

but you will lose ten of those points for every incorrect answer.

-Understand?

-Yes.

-It's not that bad, Wendy, I promise. I promise.

OK, could everybody, except for Wendy,

now please put the headphones on?

Copycats, they look ready. Oh, yeah. So let's close the doors.

-Are you all right, Wendy?

-Yeah, I think so.

Oh, it's not that bad, I promise. OK, green, pink or blue?

-I'll go for blue.

-OK, have a look at that.

-Do you know that one?

-No.

Well, that's a good start(!)

Well, we are going to play it

into the studio so you can get it into your head.

Have a listen.

# But if you wanna hear me sing

# You better play that sax

# Give it to me!

# You better play that sax... #

OK, let's just carry on because you've got it in your head.

OK, ready, steady, play.

OK, Mac, your turn.

-Hum, Mac!

-Hum!

Good luck, Thomas.

Go on, Kenny! Off you go.

He's making it up.

OK, Fiona, your turn.

Stop playing!

Ohhh, well, that was wonderful. OK.

For a maximum of 50 points, the best of luck,

-and I mean that sincerely, Benjamin.

-HE CHUCKLES

For 50 points, what's on the card?

Uptown Funk? I don't know.

It is not Uptown Funk.

Great guess, though. Let's open the door for 40 points.

-Fiona, any idea?

-No idea.

Dancing Queen?

ABBA classic, but unfortunately, it's not what I've got on the card.

So, open the door. Kenny, any idea what Thomas was playing there?

Hello, from Adele?

It's not Hello, Adele.

Let's open the door for 20 points.

-Fireworks, I've no idea.

-HE LAUGHS

Oh, mate, so despondent. "Fireworks, I've got no idea."

It isn't, unfortunately. Let's open the door.

For ten points. I thought Wendy did a good job there.

Any idea, Mac?

-I'm just going to say Chandelier.

-Chandelier,

it's a good guess.

-It's not the right answer. Wendy?

-It was Sax, Fleur East.

Let's have a listen.

# But if you wanna hear me sing

# You better play that sax... #

This bit, this bit!

# Give it to me... #

-SINGS:

-Dah-dah dah, dah-dah dah, dah-dah dah dah dah...

Look, they're all playing it now!

HE LAUGHS

Unlucky, unlucky. Well done, Wendy.

Unfortunately you don't get any points,

but give them a round of applause.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Now, Eric. We've got two cards left.

We've got green or pink.

-Which one would you like?

-Um, green.

Green, take a look.

Do you know that song?

-No.

-OK, well, we're going to play it in.

I'm sure you will have heard it.

We're going to play it into the studio.

Have a listen, get the melody in your head and then hopefully,

-you can copy it.

-OK.

-Let's take a listen.

# My house in Budapest

# My, my hidden treasure chest

# Golden grand piano

# My beautiful castillo

# You, ooh, you, ooh

# I'd leave it all

# My acres of a land

# That I've achieved... #

-Heard it now?

-Yeah.

-Yeah? Excellent. OK, the best of luck.

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

Maddie, your turn.

Richard, your turn.

Kate, your turn.

Harry, your turn.

Time's up!

This is a difficult one, I must admit. It is a difficult one.

Erna, for a maximum of 50 points,

what do you think the song is?

Hold My Hand, by Jess Glynne?

It's not, unfortunately, which means we're playing for 40 points.

Harry?

Shake It Off.

It's not Shake It Off. We're playing for 30 points. Kate.

Any idea what Richard did there?

It's not the Whip Nae Nae.

No, it's not that.

OK, which means we are playing for 20 points.

Richard, any idea?

Um...

Pompeii.

It's not, unfortunately.

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

It was really difficult, this. I must admit.

I thought Eric did a great job. Any idea?

-Black Magic?

-By Little Mix.

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

-Budapest, George Ezra.

-Budapest, by George Ezra.

Let's have a listen.

# My house in Budapest

# My, my hidden treasure chest

# Golden grand piano

# My beautiful castillo

# You, ooh... #

Unfortunately, that does mean that

you don't get any points in this round.

But give them a round of applause, anyway.

It's very entertaining, as always.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

'So, after three rounds,

'Erna's team have 90 points,

'and Mac's team have 100 points.'

Both teams pulled off some great scores after our cubicle games, but

it's time now to find out how things went down in the Copycats Challenge

and find out who has earned their place in the Ball Room.

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

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

And one team also scored 120 points.

-AUDIENCE:

-Ooh!

Ho-ho, ho-ho!

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...

..Mac's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Oh, it was so close, guys, so close

all through the show, but unfortunately that does

mean that we have to say goodbye to Erna's team.

-Have you enjoyed yourselves? ALL:

-Yeah!

You've been an awesome team. Thank you ever so much.

Give it up for Erna's team, everybody!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

See you later, guys. Thanks ever so much.

Aw, well, congratulations, Mac's team!

Hey! Are you up for one final challenge?

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Brilliant.

Awesome, in that case, it's time to play the Ball Room.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Guys, you have come so far, but I am certain you will not be happy

unless you get your hands on this, the Copycats trophy. Am I right?

-ALL:

-Yes!

-Well, 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!'

-Three, two, one...

-BOTH: Blast the balls!

'So, Mac's team, it is.

'Mac, the team captain, Fiona

'and Thomas looking for blue balls to go into the scoring cylinder.

'That's not the right colour, so that will be deducted.

'We need to work harder now. Make sure we have plenty of blue balls.

'Come on, that's better.

'That's even better. Excellent work.

'Fiona doing well. 30 seconds left.

'And another one going in.

'Will it be enough? We shall find out very shortly.'

'Lot of balls flying around in there.

'Which is what the game is all about, really.

'You have to catch the blue ones.

'And put them in the scoring cylinder.

'Well done.'

HE LAUGHS

'Seconds away, now.'

'Four, three, here we go.

'Klaxon is about to sound.

-KLAXON BLARES

-'There it is!'

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right.

The balls have been counted

and the result has been checked and verified.

You needed 20 blue balls to get your hands on this trophy.

Now, unfortunately, we can't count that last blue ball

because it went in after the klaxon.

And don't forget any other colours have been deducted

from your score and, unfortunately, there was one other colour.

Yeah.

I can reveal that you collected...

-SHOUTS:

-..20 blue balls!

THEY SCREAM AND CHEER

-Oh, yes!

-Guys!

-Yes!

We got you, didn't we? We got you good!

We got you good. Oh, well done.

-Are you happy?

-ALL:

-Yeah!

-Fantastic.

I was quite happy with

our acting skills, there, mate.

Ooh, sorry, sorry. Oh, great way

to end the show. Fantastic.

It's going to get even better

as well, cos guess what?

We're going to give you some

Copycats T-shirts as well.

CHEERING

See it, believe it! Yes!

THEY LAUGH

We'll see you next time on Copycats.

-BOTH:

-Bye!
