Dougall's sum of the very well poised, two balanced \({}_ 7F_ 6\) is a fundamental identity. A new proof is given using the two term recurrence satisfied by the sum of the series of the terms of the series to show that a telescoping series results when applying this recurrence to the terms of successive series. The first author is responsible for the calculations, the second for the algorithm used to do the calculations.
