BBC Middle East correspondent Quentin Somerville was doing a report on drugs in the Middle East when he became high off narcotics according to The Telegraph.
"Burning behind me is eight-and-a-half tonnes of heroin, opium, hashish and other narcotics," Somerville says in the video clip before he laughs against his will.
BBC never showed the four-year-old video on air the network reported.. It also hadn't been seen until recently.
Somerville uploaded the video to his Twitter account, but then took it down because of copyright issues The Telegraph reported. "Dear tweeps, it's been a year of bullets & bloodshed. You've earned a xmas laugh, at my expense," he said in a message.
Somerville has been in several countries of the Middle East such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Gaza, and Egypt amid protests in the region. He is currently stationed in Jerusalem.
