This is the bizarre moment a Download festival reveller heckled a BBC broadcast to thank the NHS for supplying him with ‘prescription speed’ in an early morning outburst.
The man’s strange appearance happened when BBC Breakfast hosts Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt were talking to reporter Hannah Miller live from Donington Park for the music festival which began in Derby yesterday.
Video footage shows Miller speaking about Metallica’s performance which went on ‘really, really late into the night’, when she was interrupted by a seemingly intoxicated man at 6:25am.
Wearing a monochrome outfit and matching headband, the man shouted: ‘I love my prescription speed supplied by the NHS.’
He was carrying two empty cans of beer and sporting black and white sweatbands around his wrists.

Miller had previously been talking about the fans who abandoned attending the rock festival after getting caught in heavy traffic.
It comes after families were left reeling from the noise of rock and heavy metal at the festival, which left their walls ‘rattling’, despite being in the next county 15 miles away.
Around 100,000 fansdescended on Donington Park, Leicestershire, for the four-day Download Festival.
The annual event – which is now in its 20th year – is being headlined by Metallica, Bring Me the Horizon and Slipknot.
But residents in the towns of Long Eaton, Matlock and West Hallam in Derbyshire – some 15 miles away – were angered at hearing the rock bands from their homes.
