Episode 6 Copycats

Welcome to Copycats.

Today's Copycats are Matthew's team from County Durham

and Nicole's team from Huddersfield.

APPLAUSE

And here are your hosts, Sam and Mark!

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

Yes, this show is all about ABC -

Absolutely Brilliant Copying.

The better you are at it, the more points you get.

We've got two teams eager to battle it out in the hope

that they might win this, TV's bingiest, boingyest prize -

it's the Copycats Trophy!

CHEERING

-Oh, yeah.

-It's good.

To win that, they not only have to be the best at copying -

they also have to beat the Ball Room,

and only one team will make it that far.

So, let's meet today's teams.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Matthew, you are team captain on this team.

-How are you?

-I'm good, thank you, what about you?

Yeah, very well, thank you for asking me.

Would you like to introduce the gang for us?

So, this is Sonny, my friend,

Ryan, my other friend,

that's Lynn, my mam,

Ashleigh, my cousin, and Steve, who's my dad.

Excellent, the best of luck today.

Give it up for Matthew's team.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Over here, we've got the winning team.

-ALL: Yes!

-Nicole's team.

-Nicole, team captain, how are you?

-I'm good, thank you, how are you?

Very well, thanks. Would you like to introduce

-the rest of your team, please?

-This is Holly, my best friend,

and Millie, my other best friend,

David, my dad, Sarah, my mum,

and Frazer, who is Millie's dad.

Fantastic. Why do you think you're going to win today?

Because we're all amazing.

LAUGHTER

And modest. I love that as well.

Well, the best of luck, it's Nicole's team! Fantastic.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Going to be good, this.

-It's going to be good.

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.

Not forgetting that both teams can win loads of extra points

when they take on the Copycats Challenge later on.

Before the show, the team captains had a pillow fight

to decide who went first.

No, no, they tossed a coin.

No? OK, yeah, they tossed a coin.

Matthew's team won the toss and they will be going first,

so let's play Copycats!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

All right, Matthew's team,

you will need to channel your inner Leonardo da Vinci

and show off your artistic skills for this,

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

Lynn, you are first in the booth,

so you are going to pick one of these three cards.

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

to the person next to you and so on, and so on, down the line.

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.

Copycats, are you ready?

-ALL:

-Yes!

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

So, Lynn, Matthew has put you in the first booth.

Does that mean you are good at drawing?

-Well, I am an artist.

-I'm sure that's a good start.

-Yeah.

OK, well, Lynn, I've got three cards here.

Which one would you like - pink, green or blue?

-Green.

-Take a look.

-Oh, right.

-Reckon you can draw that?

-Mm.

-OK, you've got ten seconds.

The best of luck, Lynn.

-Thank you.

-Ready, steady, draw.

OK, Matthew, your turn.

Steve, your turn.

LAUGHTER

Sonny.

Ashleigh, your turn.

LAUGHTER

Time is up!

APPLAUSE

Stop drawing.

Ryan, for a maximum of 50 points,

any idea what Ashleigh was supposed to be drawing there?

Is it an octopus?

-Oh, no!

-That does look like an octopus, I must admit,

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

Which means we're playing for 40 points.

-Ashleigh, what do you think it is?

-Is it a skull?

It's not a skull.

So playing for 30 points.

-Sonny.

-Is it a squid?

It does look like a squid,

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

-which means...

-Running out of ideas. Is it a clown?

LAUGHING: It's not a clown, Steve.

It's not, which means we're playing for the minimum of 10 points.

Matthew, come on, take a look - what do you think it is?

-Is it a stick man?

-Oh, it's not a stick man.

What is it, Lynn?

-A gingerbread man!

-Gingerbread man! THEY GROAN

Don't worry, there's still plenty more rounds to come.

But unfortunately, at the end of the first round, Matthew's team

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

It was very entertaining.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

OK, good luck, Millie. Which card would you like,

-pink or blue?

-Blue, please.

OK, have a look at that.

-OK.

-Do you reckon you can do that?

-Yeah.

-Fantastic. The best of luck.

Ready, steady, draw. Off you go.

OK, David, your turn.

Now Nicole, your turn.

LAUGHTER

OK, here we go.

Come on, Sarah.

HE MOUTHS

LAUGHTER

OK, stop drawing.

Frazer, best of luck, mate.

For a maximum of 50 points, what's the answer we are looking for?

-Is it a parrot?

-It's not a parrot.

OK, for 40 points, open the door.

Sarah, what's Holly drawn there?

Er, is it a duck-billed platypus?

It is not a duck-billed...platypus...

what you said.

OK, let's open the door for 30 points.

-What are we going for?

-Is it a swan?

Aw, it is not a swan.

20 points, Nicole. Come on, think about it!

-Is it a chicken?

-It's not a chicken!

Oh! OK. Let's open the door, please.

Someone get some points!

David, come on.

-Is it a duck?

-It's a duck!

Yeah!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Congratulations, you get yourselves 10 points.

So, after Quick On The Draw, are Matthew's team

scraping the bottom of the biscuit barrel,

-and are Nicole's team off to a quacking start?

-Nice.

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

Well, Mark, after Quick On The Draw,

Matthew's team have no points

and Nicole's team have 10 points.

OK, the next round is guaranteed to be a tough test for our teams.

If they want to win the points,

they need to handle the pressure of a Copycats Challenge.

And because Matthew's team won the toss at the start of the show,

you guys will be taking on the challenge first.

So, Nicole's team, that means we're going to send you on your way

for a little bit so you don't get a sneaky peek.

Off you go. Have a cup of tea or summat.

Bye! Now, Matthew, as team captain,

you now have to select two people to take on the Copycats Challenge.

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

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

Yes, it's Towers time.

So, team captain, Matthew,

for this game, you have chosen Ryan and Ashleigh to play.

-Are you confident in their ability?

-I am confident.

-Beautiful.

Guys, are you feeling confident?

-HESITANTLY:

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

LAUGHTER Well, the best of luck.

OK, here we go,

in three, two, one, go!

So, it's Ashleigh and Ryan trying to make as many towers as they can,

but the colours must match the colours they see on the screen.

Go on!

The first tower is being built.

MR D CHUCKLES

Plenty of advice from the rest of the team.

-Come on, it's almost there.

-That's it, guys.

-Talking to each other's good.

-It's almost there.

-Does it work?

-Nice work!

Yes, it does! We have our first tower, well done.

Trouble is, these are cubes of different sizes, so they have to be

so careful stacking the bigger cubes on top of the smaller ones.

You might want to be quicker, guys.

They've got to be perfectly balanced for this to work.

Talk to each other, guys, talk to each other.

Sam is absolutely right.

Nice work.

Is that going to work? Let's check.

Yes, it does!

-Next one!

-Go, go, go!

It's 30 points for every tower that stands for those two seconds.

SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT

40 seconds left, come on.

That's it, speed it up. Here we go.

Which one do we need next?

-That's the problem one.

-Remember it's got to balance.

It's huge, that orange block.

The blue will help, though.

Get that last one on gently.

Here we go.

Now, let's see if this works for two seconds.

-Nice work!

-It does!

-Next one!

-Have another go, come on.

Let's see if we can get one more tower.

This could well work.

15 seconds left, come on.

SHOUTING

Get the right colours, the right colours.

You've got ten seconds. Come on, guys.

The yellow, you need the yellow next.

-Come on!

-Come on!

MR D CHUCKLES

Now, stand clear, stand clear.

Time's up! Oh!

Time's up, time's up. Come on over, guys.

Shame, we can't count that last one, unfortunately.

Right, we'll hold on tight to those challenge points until a little bit

later on and we'll add them to your final score after the Music Round.

Remember, Nicole's team still need to take on the Copycats Challenge

and the points that each team win

could make all the difference, because only one team

will win the chance to take on the Ball Room.

So let's hear it for Matthew's team, everybody, well done. Good effort.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back to the game, Nicole's team.

Let's play Mime Time.

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

You have to pick one of these cards.

You will then have ten seconds to mime

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

and then they will have to pass that mime down the line.

Remember, keep those performances silent.

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

but you will lose 10 points for every wrong answer.

-Do you understand?

-ALL: Yes!

OK, let's close them doors.

OK, team captain, Nicole - green, pink or blue?

-Which one would you like?

-Pink.

You're going to go for pink. OK, have a look at that.

-OK.

-Can you do that?

-Yeah.

-Fantastic.

All right. Ready, steady, mime!

OK. Watch your head!

Looking forward to this, David. Here we go.

He's done that before.

LAUGHTER

Millie.

Stop miming! OK.

Sarah, for a maximum of 50 points,

what's the answer we're looking for?

Er, cutting some fluff off a shoe.

Definitely not what I've got on the card, unfortunately.

Let's open the door.

For 40 points, what was Frazer doing there?

-Polishing his shoes.

-AUDIENCE GROANS

It's a great guess, but it's wrong, I'm afraid.

Let's open the door for 30 points.

-Come on, Frazer.

-Was he clipping his toenails?

He was clipping his toenails! Yay!

APPLAUSE

Fantastic. Congratulations, you get yourselves 30 points.

Well done.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Right, best of luck, Matthew.

I've got two cards left, blue or green?

I'm going to go with blue, because I know what happened

-when we got green last time.

-LAUGHTER

Wise.

-Reckon you can do that?

-Yeah.

-OK, the best of luck, mate.

Ready, steady, mime!

Ryan, your turn.

LAUGHTER

Sonny.

Ashleigh, your turn.

Steve, go for it, mate.

LAUGHTER

Time is up!

APPLAUSE

OK, Lynn, for a maximum of 50 points -

if you get this, it's going to be amazing.

Any idea what Steve was meant to be doing there?

-Being a robot.

-LAUGHTER

I see where you're going, there, but it wasn't being a robot.

Let's open the door. Steve, it's a tough one.

-Any idea what Ashleigh was doing?

-Er, was it a referee?

Oh, nice thinking! It wasn't being a referee, unfortunately.

Ashleigh, we're playing for 30 points.

Was it taking a selfie?

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Yay!

Nice work!

Ryan, I've got to say, you must take a few selfies, my friend,

cos you were giving it some. LAUGHTER

That was great! Well done, guys. You get yourselves 30 points.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, after Mime Time,

will Nicole's team make it a nail-biting finish

and will Matthew's team be taking selfies in the Ball Room?

It's time to check out the scores.

Mr D, what could they be?

Well, Sam, after Mime Time,

Matthew's team have 30 points

and Nicole's team have 40 points.

Right, it's time to get our serious faces on,

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

Matthew's team, it's time for you to relax - you've done it.

See you later. Bysie-bye.

Bye-bye-bye. Bye-bye-bye.

OK, Nicole, as team captain, it's now up to you to decide

who will be facing the Copycats Challenge,

but before you do, 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

Yep, it's Towers time. OK.

Team captain Nicole and David, you are going to be playing.

-Are you ready?

-Yes!

Come on! In that case,

three, two, one, go!

So this time, it's Nicole and David, working together building towers.

-That's it.

-Starting with the orange. What do we need next?

Plenty of advice coming in from the rest of the team.

As you can see, they're shouting from the side.

Try that.

It's worked!

-Well done!

-The tower has to stand for at least two seconds.

Some great teamwork, guys. Nice work.

Moved on now to the other side.

-You're doing really well.

-Another pattern they're working on.

-A minute to go.

-That's it.

-Very good.

-Remember, they have to balance.

Keep that steady. Be very careful.

Another tower built?

-Yes!

-Well done! Come on!

That's the way.

You're wrecking the set, it's brilliant.

That's one way to move the cubes across to the other side.

Well done, Nicole. That's great.

Speed is of the essence.

Yep. Make sure it balances, it's got to balance.

That orange cube is huge, isn't it?

OK, that's good. Be careful...

Gently does it.

Yes!

That's worked as well, so we have now three towers!

It's 30 points for every tower that stands for a couple of seconds.

There are 20 seconds left.

-This is brilliant!

-Come on. See if we can do this.

I think we're in line for another tower here, let's see.

Come on.

Gently does it. Stand clear.

-And yes!

-One more!

-You have time for one more!

-Come on, have another go. Go on.

There's only a second or two left, but try it anyway.

-Time is up!

-OK, stop what you're doing.

Brilliant. Well done, guys.

Come on over.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That was brilliant. Just one more round to go

before we add those challenge points to your total score

and reveal which team are taking on the Ball Room to try and win

that Copycats Trophy.

Let's hear it for Nicole's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Welcome back, Matthew's team.

This is the Music Round -

the toughest round of all.

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

You'll then have ten seconds to play that tune to the person next to you,

which is Ryan, and so on and so on down the line.

You'll be playing it on the old Copycats Kazoo.

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

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

coming back down the line.

Now, can everybody except Lynn please put your headphones on

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

They're looking ready. Let's close the doors.

So, Lynn, you're in the first booth again.

Yeah. No pressure, eh?

No pressure. OK.

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

-We must go for the pink.

-I like your thinking.

Do you know that song?

-Well...

-LAUGHTER

-Kind of!

-Well, don't worry, Lynn -

we are going to play it into the studio

so you can take a listen to it, so have a listen.

# Got me hoping you'll page me right now

# Your kiss got me hoping you'll save me right now

# Looking so crazy Your love's got me looking

# Got me looking so crazy in love. #

OK, we'll get on with it straightaway so you don't forget it.

Best of luck. Ready, steady, play.

SHE PLAYS THE KAZOO

Nice dancing! Ryan?

LAUGHTER

Ashleigh.

Sonny.

LAUGHTER

Nice. Steve.

LAUGHTER

Time is up.

APPLAUSE

Such a difficult round.

Don't applaud them.

LAUGHTER

Matthew, for a maximum of 50 points,

any idea of the song that we're looking for?

-Is it Cotton Eye Joe?

-It's not the answer, unfortunately,

which means we're playing for 40 points. Steve?

Mirror Kissers by the Cribs?

It's not that, which means we're playing for 30 points.

-Sonny?

-Can't Feel My Face?

It's not, unfortunately,

which means we're playing for 20 points.

-Ashleigh?

-Is it Rihanna, Work?

It's not Rihanna, Work,

which means we're playing for the minimum ten points. Any idea?

Erm... Was it Sorry by Justin Bieber?

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

It was Crazy In Love by Beyonce.

Let's hear it.

# Got me looking so crazy right now

# Your love's got me looking so crazy right now

# Got me looking so crazy right now Your touch... #

It is such a difficult round, the Music Round.

-Sorry, guys.

-So unfortunately, guys, you don't get any points.

Give them a round of applause, though, guys.

APPLAUSE

OK, good luck, Holly. You've got green or blue left.

Which one are you going for?

-Green.

-Green. Have a look at that.

-Do you know that song?

-Yeah.

-Fantastic.

Well, that's a start!

Let's have a listen what it should sound like.

# So wake me up when it's all over

# When I'm wiser and I'm older

# All this time I was finding myself... #

OK. Holly, ready, steady, play!

SHE PLAYS THE KAZOO

OK.

OK, Sarah.

OK, Nicole.

LAUGHTER

SHE LAUGHS

Go on, David.

LAUGHTER

Lovely! Lovely, lovely, lovely.

APPLAUSE

OK, Millie, for a maximum 50 points,

what's the answer we're looking for?

Is it, like, I Really Don't Care?

LAUGHTER

I'm not sure about the name, but I know the song.

OK. It is not that song.

I thought you just didn't want to be here.

-LAUGHTER

-OK, let's move on.

For 40 points, David.

-HE SIGHS

-Was it Wrecking Ball?

It wasn't. Good guess, but it's not Wrecking Ball.

OK, for 30 points, Nicole. Any idea?

Was it Here by Alessia someone?

It wasn't Here by Alessia someone.

-It wasn't.

-LAUGHTER

Let's open the door. For 20 points, Sarah.

Frazer did a good job there.

When We Were Young by Adele?

It is not When We Were Young.

OK. For ten points, what are we going for?

Is it Hello by Adele?

-No.

-It is not Hello by Adele.

Holly, what is it?

It was Wake Me Up by Avicii.

-Aw!

-Let's have a listen.

# So wake me up when it's all over... #

Oh, yeah, see? Really good!

-# When I'm wiser and I'm older... #

-Aw, fantastic. Well done, Holly.

Unfortunately, you don't get any points.

Give them a round of applause, though.

-Brilliant effort.

-CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

So, after three rounds,

Matthew's team have 30 points

and Nicole's team have 40 points.

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

Which team triumphed at the Towers

and which team is shimmying to the Ball Room?

Well, it's time to find out.

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

-AUDIENCE: Wooooo!

-I know.

And one team scored 120 points.

AUDIENCE: Wooooo!

-That's more.

-Yeah.

-That's more.

-It is.

We've added those scores to each team's total, and that means

the team going through to the Copycats Ball Room

and playing for the trophy is...

..Nicole's team!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Which means we're going to have to say goodbye to Matthew's team.

Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-ALL: Yes.

-You've been a fantastic team.

Give it up for Matthew's team, everyone.

See you later, guys.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

-Aw, they were great.

-Congratulations, Nicole's team.

-You excited? ALL:

-Yes!

And are you ready for one final Copycats Challenge?

-Yes.

-Well, that's good because it's time to play the Ball Room.

Top work, team,

there is now only one thing

that stands between you and the legendary,

priceless, magical, beautiful, boingy, boingyness...

-You've given it away already.

-Sorry.

-The Copycats Trophy!

So, Nicole, who have you chosen to play?

Millie, Frazer and myself.

Excellent. 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!

-The best of luck, guys. Are you ready?

-Yes!

Beautiful. In three, two, one...

BOTH: Blast the balls!

Frazer, Millie and Nicole.

Here we go.

In the ballroom, they are collecting the blue balls.

Going to the scoring cylinder.

Come on, we need some action.

We have three in there already.

Come on. We need some more.

Quickly as you can, guys.

I don't see many going in there at the moment.

It's not easy, to be fair.

30 seconds to go.

Those balls are flying around in front of them.

That's better. That's an orange one, we don't need that.

That will be deducted from the total.

Another blue one going in though, that's good.

Well done, Frazer.

Come on. Only ten seconds left now.

And another one going in.

As quickly as you can, time is running out, guys.

Come on.

We need those balls going into the cylinder

and time is up.

OK, the balls have been counted

and the results have been checked and verified.

You needed 20 blue balls to win this magnificent trophy.

I can reveal that you collected...

..seven blue balls.

Oh! Give them a round of applause.

Guys, unfortunately that means

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

We have to put that away for another week.

Sorry, guys. Don't worry, you're not going to go home empty-handed.

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

Again, not a great prize, but you could wear it at the gym,

to bed, whatever you want.

-Lovely.

-Have you enjoyed yourselves?

-Yes.

-You've been a wonderful team.

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

CHEERING

-I can't believe it's all over.

-I know. How sad.

-We'll see you next time on Copycats.

-Bye!

-Bye!
