The
BBC’s Middle East correspondent Quentin Sommerville was unable to finish a
video broadcast after inhaling fumes from a pile of burning drugs.
In the video, Sommerville attempts to
deliver a serious opener only to fall into a giggle fit, overcome by the potent
narcotic fumes.
“Burning
behind me is eight tones of heroin, opium, hash and other narcotics,”
Sommerville begins, but after pausing
for breath he starts to laugh and is unable to continue.
The subsequent attempts were not much better, and though the original video has
been taken down, copies have received over 100,000 views online.

The journalist shared the outtakes with his Twitter followers on
December 22, accompanied by a now deleted message: “Dear
tweeps, it’s been a year of bullets and bloodshed. You’ve earned an xmas laugh,
at my expense (sic).”
