The circlemakers realized one of their collective
ambitions recently when they collaborated with Doug Bower. A BBC camera crew
were there to capture the action for an upcoming documentary.
On the night of July 25th John Lundberg, Rod Dickinson and Wil Russell along
with Doug Bower made 2 demonstration formations and gave interviews for a
documentary being made by BBC TV's "Country File". The formations will be
featured in an upcoming light hearted half hour special about crop circles
that focuses on Doug and his circlemaking activities. The documentary will
air across the UK in early January 1999.

The central circle in our formation incorporated a standing "Yell" logo to
celebrate the fact that this website recently won a "Yell UK web award". The
completed formation was approximately 200ft across and had 100 circles of varying
sizes. We were filmed constructing the formation at night using an infra-red
camera.

The completed BBC/Yell demonstration formation.
After completing our formation we teamed up with Doug to finish off his
150ft circle which had a quartered lay just like two formations from the
early 90's dubbed the 'swastikas'.
The formations were subsequently filmed from a 120ft crane the following
afternoon and once filming was complete researchers and interested parties
were invited to view the formations.
Included to the right are photos of Doug's circle formation, a group photo
with Doug and the 'circlemakers', and a photo of Doug being wired for sound
by the BBC. The shots continue with the BBC production crew and the 120ft
crane, a portrait of Doug.
Rather unnervingly a photo of a small set of unexplained
circles appeared in the same field on the same night the demonstration
formations were made...
Oh, the chagrin.
