Discussions

There were numerous discussions that Ingamay had with Skurt, and those were often relevant to children who watched the show. They could have discussions about buses or trains, even politics and the European Union. They even went to Brussels to visit the European Parliament. Sometimes, Ingamay and Skurt would travel to third world countries. In some episodes, they would speak about how to avoid potential accidents on the road.

Recent years
