Alistair Potter - 12th May, 2011
Newsreader Tatiana Subbotina managed to get through a report about a marijuana farm in Canada - but only after corpsing, pretty dramatically, several times while trying to read out the story.
Fortunately for Ms Subbotina, the broadcast wasn't live so she got the chance to have another go after breaking down into fits of laughter when she told readers a cannabis farm had been guarded by a few different kinds of animals - including bears, dogs and pot-bellied pigs.
Unfortunately, that didn't change the fact she still found the entire story hilarious - so it took her several goes to finally make it through without collapsing into fits of laughter.
The story itself concerned a somewhat worrying find in British Columbia, Canada, where police uncovered a 2,500-plat cannabis farm that was being guarded by 13 bears.
Police also found 'a big dog' and 'a pot-bellied pig' on the premises, and it was the swine that caused Ms Subbotina such merriment.
'What the hell is a pig doing there?!' she exclaimed, after breaking down for a third time.
It seems the newscaster's laughter was infectious, as she was then repeatedly put off by studio staff off-camera failing to keep a straight face.
She eventually made it through, but still felt moved to crack a few jokes along the way (her particular favourite being about the bears sitting next to the marijuana plants and puffing on spliffs).
It's compelling watching.
