He tries a second time and completes the training exercise, then earns a "Digi-Medal" (except Series 2).
The special assignments are missions that Oso is requested to complete by the mysterious Mr. Dos, in order to help a child in need. Oso tries to complete the Three Special Steps that Paw Pilot gives him. Then he earns a "Digi-Medal".
Audience participation or interaction with Oso. Sometimes, Oso will ask the audience to help him find something hidden or missing on the screen. Other times, Oso will ask the audience to try something physically demanding that he is doing.
The show has 60 episodes; 24 in the first season and 36 in the second. The first season has finished, while the second is also finished. The episode names are always references to the movie names (and occasionally the opening songs) of the James Bond franchise, such as "Three Wheels Are Not Enough" and "The Boy with the Golden Gift".
