Copycats airs every Friday at 4.30pm on CBBC
UK - After a four-year absence, Copycatsis returning to UK TVscreens and moving light specialist Richard Martin Lighting (RML) is back on hand to help lighting designer Roger Williams with the revamp.

Last aired in 2012, Copycats sees Sam Nixon and Mark Rhodes host with two family teams, each of six contestants, battling against each other in a series of games. Each episode consists of a number of rounds, three of which are based on Chinese whispers as well as a variety of physical challenges.

Filmed at BBC Scotland the show has been given a face lift with new opening titles, a new logo and a new set complete with new exciting lighting rig. It features a mix of MAC Auras, Nexus 4x4 Panels and Robin LED 600 Wash units to create a fun and vibrant atmosphere.

"I've used the Nexus 4x4 panels many times," says Roger Williams. "I love them, they're stylish, versatile, good value for money and they fill in gaps perfectly. I'm not using haze on this show so the Nexus 4x4's are great for a change where previously a beam through smoke might have been. My favourite moving light - the Aura did the rest of the hard work, sometimes used to light people, sometimes for strong colour, and some for eye candy towards camera."
