Isigameko, esasingenzeka ekuqaleni kukaMashi ngesikhathi sokuhlunga kwamagiya aphezulu, cishe kuqhubeka okusha. Okokuqala, abalandeli balolu hlelo baxoxa ngokuhola kakhulu, okwavela nomkhiqizi ngenxa yokuntuleka kokudla okushisayo ngesikhathi sokudonsa. Ngenxa yalokhu, uhlelo oluthandayo lomuntu aluzange lufike ngeSonto elizayo ku-Ether (ngendlela, uClarkson waba yiveli yokuqala ye-TV esiteshini se-BBC, esasuswa ku-Ether). Ekuqaleni, ithelevisar yathatha lesi sigameko njengesikhathi sokusebenza futhi sabheka lokho, ukuxolisa, ungalungisa konke. Kodwa-ke, ukuphathwa kwesiteshi kunqume ukuthi kudluliselwe inkontileka nomethuli we-TV, futhi ngaleyo ndlela umsebenzi wakhe we-Air Force, owaqala ngo-1988, weza esiphethweni.
