That secondary stress on the third syllable is always a dead giveaway, that. Apart from the vowels of course. The vowels are all wrong. Chap sounds like a tradesman pretending to be posh, don't'ch'know. The chap says temporary, not temp’rary, so we know it’s not authentic 1950s BBC English.

If they omitted credit for the original it should be a simple fix.   I haven’t seen the video, which I would assume has some sort of credits for the production crew, cast and etc.
