Trivia

• Skip and Lofty appear to be best friends as shown in Lofty's Jungle Fun.
• It's likely that a copy of Skip's cab was later used for Packer, with a few notable modifications.
  • Contrary to popular belief, at least one of Skip's models had survived even after Packer's introduction, though it was sent to a recycling center in 2010 after being thrown out of HiT Storage while the The Live Show props were recycled.
• Skip is one of two vehicles with a bumper mouth rather then a grille mouth, the other is Lofty.
• Skip made fewer appearances than Trix.
• In the UK dub, Skip speaks in a muffled, deep Mancunian accent.
• In the Japanese and the Swedish dubs, despite being male, Skip was voiced by female voice actresses.
• In the Czech version, Skip is called "Dan".
• In the German version, Skip is called "Conti".
• Skip lasted a total of four years in the series.
• Some TV sites and sources incorrectly list Neil Morrissey as Skip's UK voice but if you listen closely it's Colin McFarlane.
• Some TV sites and sources incorrectly list Greg Proops as Skip's 2005 US voice but if you listen closely it's Rupert Degas.
• If the Sixth Season was Fully Dubbed and the Seventh Season to the Ninth Season was dubbed in Swedish Vicki Benckert would be Credited for Voicing Skip
