"Burning behind me is eight and a half tons of heroin, opium, hashish and other narcotics," giggles BBC television correspondent Quentin Sommerville.

This video was recorded about four years ago during one of the his many reporting trips in the Middle East. In the video, which has recently been made available again on YouTube, Sommerville attempts many times to get through his lines on camera, but cannot. "Quick quick, we just need one more," he says. And then he fails.

The blooper reel compilation, entitled 'Don't inhale', was tweeted out as a 'Christmas present' for his fans.
