The circle mystery (1990)
At first it had all the hallmarks of a hoax - large circles, some 200 metres in diameter, mysteriously appeared in the wheat fields. They were perfect geometric patterns, which flattened the crops, but did not kill them. Although the first circles were reported from Australia, it's in England that they've become a national obsession. There have been nearly a thousand sightings in the last 10 years - and still no-one knows what causes them. Wild theories abound - visitors from outer space, insecticides, even copulating hedgehogs. It's a phenomenon which has captured the imagination of the whole country, and attracted eccentrics and scientists alike. Verging on the eccentric are Pat Delgado and Colin Andrews, who've been studying the circles since 1981, and are convinced they're trying to tell us something. Byrne herself is skeptical about all the theories, but is forced to admit there's more to this than meets the eye. Especially, when - right on cue - a fresh circle appeared while she was filming this story in Wiltshire wheat fields.
