What is this from?

There's a bit of On The Hour which uses repurposed old style radio commentary from the 30s or 50s, with this bloke talking about a ship sinking because fire fighters are pumping water at it to try to fight a fire, but the Chris Morris character is saying that he's talking about a dentist working on the Queen Mother's teeth.

"...there's a weight of water in there..."

Anyway: what is the original tape/commentary from - anyone know?

No idea. On the Hour is full of stuff like that. I tried to find out where the Northern Soul 'Minimum Wage' song is from. Not going to happen.
