I’m a longtime lurker on this forum, and I have a question I’ve been unable to answer, and I figured this would be the best place to ask it (given all the other hard questions I’ve seen answered here). [This](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTRTIkuFFwA) video has a British person’s speech as a voiceover. The speech sounds very cinematic, and I would bet a reasonable amount of money that this random YouTuber did not commission a posh man to do a custom speech for a video where everything else has been taken from copyrighted sources. I Googling the words of the speech gets me nothing. I thought the voice could be John Hurt, and from a BBC radio documentary he narrated on Andy Murray, but this speech wasn’t from there. I didn’t really care that much at first, but the more I haven’t been able to find the source, the more obsessed I’ve become with finding it. Does anyone know where this speech was taken from? ---

I don’t have any idea where this might be from, but I can tell you it isn’t John Hurt, if that’s any help.
